I'm thinking on building my own.... it will be more vertical with the cab, it will be a solid welded frame that sits exactly over and inside angle on the bed. I will run some dimpled steel supports up the middle. It will sit below the roof line even with the drip rails. Then it will have RTT...
Stock rubicon launch edition take offs on a Sport max tow. 3/4 puck in the rear 1.5 inch puck for the front. I'm sure with trimming you could get to 37's... the route would be through using rubicon fenders and then trimming them to nearly flat fenders. Right now, I have a set of great tires to...
Yeah... I have black cloth seats... so a little neoprene over them will be great with the top off. They are eventually going to make the rear seat from what I've seen.
I made my own... I do base camp it a lot, on more difficult trails it is normally my return point. Thus far no one has stolen anything. I also took it on the White Rim trail years ago... it was great have 15 gallons of water and room for lots of food for two other jeeps. I still go without it on...
The worst accidents on quads or 4x4's that I have ever came across on trials all had to do with excessive speed. If you read through the accident lists within the off-roading world… speed is a huge factor. Put a branch through the radiator and into the cab, or rolled three times on a sharp turn...
It would also be better if possible to pull forward in your lowest gear... towing and reverse should only be done for lighter loads... Ring and pinion strength is much greater towing when you are in forward gear. Sometimes we can't turn around... but if you can... it is better to hit it with...
I think the shocks are maybe even stiffer on the high end, they rebound or damping is what it slightly softer in its feel.
I put the spacers in to be sure the shocks were operating as close as possible to what length they were designed for. They might have been fine without spacers... I just...
I have a max tow... and I swapped in the Fox shocks... someone was selling them for 200 bucks... there is a slight difference in the feel of the Fox shocks... smoother on washboard and such. They are a little longer... the Rubicon springs are 3/4 of an inch higher or so... so I put in spacers...
I have a lot of videos of Jeep trails and backcountry roads I put up. This is the first featuring our Gladiator. All my vids are a combo of video and photography, and they feature many different styles and types of music...(bagpipes, opera, Rap, Rock, Country, stuff from around the world) but...
