  1. Sarge Green Cali in Bakersfield CA

    Finally installed my DV8 tire carrier in the bed. Plan to remove all the spare tire gear from under the bed and toss in trash. Removing spare from under makes a lot more room and suppose I won’t have to worry about it interfering with suspension components as I upgrade down the road. Much easier...
  2. Best Jeep Aftermarket Brands?

    Stoked for you! Grew up under Mt Hood the PNW is a weekend warriors dream. Honestly if I were you start with getting off road with what you got. That is a very capable rig from the factory. It will surprise you. Join the 4x4 club up there and start hitting up events. Get a gauge of what you...
  3. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Took in the rig for tire rotation. Full size matching spare upgraded with Apex valve and tpms. Glad new tpms registered without a hitch. All mounted on the tire carrier. Removed the spare from under the bed.
  4. Best Jeep Aftermarket Brands?

    Congrats on joining the Jeep family. Really depends on what you plan to do. How much you can spend, how much elbow grease you have to spare, and of course one persons trash is another's treasure ?‍♂️ Rough country is considered a value brand especially in Jeep world. Smittybilt can be hit or...
  5. New Willys Rear Locker

    Thoughts? Been of the mind for some time now that anti slip in the rear locker up front is the best all around setup. IMO rear locker seems like more of a carrot on a stick for those maybe looking at *ahem* competition. Anybody have any real world experience to lend here?
  6. Do we really need a spare tire?

    I am sure there is a formula to be had. Function of trail difficulty, terrain type(s), did it rain recently, age of parts, solo or group run… and experience level of those involved ?
  7. Where did you WHEEL your Gladiator today?

    Got in some time in the sand at Oceano dunes. Just hung out on the beach enjoyed the weather and scenery. Crazy thing is how the sand gets everywhere ?
  8. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    DV8 tire carrier. Finally fully installed. Has a few spots were finish requires touch up which ai will be doing later tonight. Its 90 degrees out right now ?
  9. Teraflex Long Arms, Who's Interested?

    I have the 4.5” setup with 37” tires minus speed bumps and track bars. There is some spacers in the kit for the rear driveline that prevent issues. Also extensions for brake lines and abs sensor. Its all well thought out. been abusing this setup over a year all over the western states no issues...
  10. Parked close to a new Bronco today.

    IMO the Bronco is the torch bearer for the FJ. It has a better 4 door setup, better engines (arguably) and more variety. Other than that very similar in the approach to designing an off road vehicle. Funny thing is guys I know with FJs all want to SAS them.
  11. Parked close to a new Bronco today.

    Same no idea why press talked that up so much. It is standard ford fare. Not interested in one as a hardcore off road machine w/ no solid axle up front. Probably a lot nicer for long road trips, camping in easier accessed spots from my own experience with the f-150.
  12. Rockjock Anti-Rock Maintenance?

    Thank you. Was under the rig looking for things to lube up and it looks like they are sealed with some rubber or plastic. Happy to learn they are maintenance free.
  13. Oh, my.......

    Its pronouns are tacky/ tasteless ? I kid I kid
  14. Mojave from F150?

    My brother has an F-150 and in all honesty that is a better overall vehicle in so many ways. If I was in your case I would just find a nice used TJ for off road toy. The Gladiator fit for me not having any truck and wanting an off road toy. BUT the Ford is a better truck and a TJ a better off...
  15. Cooler vs Fridge

    Ditto the above on iceco. Dealing with ice gets tiring especially when you are an hour from any. It also eats up valuable space I would rather use for food and drinks. My iceco is rotomolded and while it won’t hold temps like the yeti or rtic it ain’t far off. On sale was a bit over $400 taxes...
  16. 5.13s or 5.38s with what tire size and why?

    That is funny he for sure knows the benefits guessing just doesn’t want to shell out and/or put in the work? Think you only have to worry about damage if you are roughing it off road. As I understanding it is the having to spin things up much higher that present opportunities for failure. On the...
  17. Check Your Cabin Air Filter!

    wow think you got me beat for nastiest filter!
  18. Rockjock Anti-Rock Maintenance?

    Anybody know what this would be? I already check the fasteners but do I need to lube anything up? The manual seems to have no help here. Probably better safe than sorry hit heim joints with some type of spray lube? Will pester their support if I meed to figured a fellow member would already...
  19. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    More like what did it do to me! Went to install a tire carrier that I procrastinated on for near two month (its 100+ everyday here). So the install manual, which I had to go find online, is not really so much a manual but a few pictures and hastily scribbled gobbledegook. Not even sure I have...
  20. 5.13s or 5.38s with what tire size and why?

    Which mall did you meet him at ? Joking aside I have yet to hear the four tens rhetoric when out wheeling with other folks.
