I know this isn't the exact question, but with lots of little tweaks and mods and mistakes killing the batteries, I'm replacing both of them....HOWEVER...I'm putting the AUX back in and using a high AMP remote switch I got on Amazon to use the AUX as a built in jump start battery. Remove will...

I suppose there are a couple ways to approach this. 1) I want everything in the world so that 100% of the time I can get myself out. 2) I will rely upon others to always get me out and carry the minimum 3) I want to have enough to get me out 90%-95% of the time. The rest, I get help. I'm...

Did I miss something? My 12k lbs winch mounted on my front frame won't work? Not sure what needs to be anchored to what or what you are suggesting needs to be anchored?

Thanks. That does seem reasonable to look for. I guess they sell it without the bag :(. I hope that my 12k lbs winch will be enough to get me out.

LOL...just the kind of effort I would like to completely avoid. Fine if you strong back and can shovel all day and have your buddies around to chat with while digging. So far, if the ground anchor works, would be crazy to bury a wheel, drag out, then dig out wheel rather than a quick setup and...

Thanks. That is the kind of real-world experience I really wanted to hear. I'm fine with digging that out. I think that adding a pull-out ring and strap to the back of the blade could be handy so when out, the winch could pull the blade back...might try and see if that works. Need to do a...

Thanks for referencing that. I hadn't seen that before. Saw quick video showing the setup and makes sense. Will compare that with all options people suggest. I do like the simplicity and that probably could work. Might stick to a purchased kit as the rebar sounds like something that will be...

I put 1" spacers to make it work with a 2.5" leveling lift. Had a little rub on a bar with the back tire and now don't need the washer spacer under the turn-stop bolt. A single washer can prevent the excessive turn and rub, but the 1" spacer is better. Just consider also getting the fender...

Thanks, Dickster. In Florence now for a 3 week stay and will probably return every year around this time. I've had no problems on the dunes. Fortunately, I have enough years of driving to know how to avoid most any problems, though the Gladiator add the challenge of wheel base span on...

I haven't done anything too stupid to get stuck, and I'm not a huge risk taker. Plenty of time around Moab and now on the dune of the Oregon coast. Will be mostly on deserts and sand dunes, some forest mountains, but not rock crawling. Not really going above a 3 on trail ratings. I'm...

This one claims to fit. I've ordered. Pretty cheap. I will use neo magnets adhered to the tape or embedded into the tape (depending on thickness). https://www.amazon.com/CK-Formula-Triple-Tailgate-Light/dp/B08XZXM1X3?th=1

Yep, two washers on the bumps stops and the 315 are nice. Added the flares to the fenders to make sure I don't get a ticket in the finicky States...flares are cheaper than a ticket.

Thanks. Yep. I think the 315 will be a decent compromise since this is my daily driver that I pull behind my motorhome which we are now full-time in. 5 weeks in Moab in April had me desiring for just a little extra than stock. I know it is not a huge difference, but I think it will help there...

I have 2.5 leveling lift and will be putting on 315 on Monday. Just curious for those who say they added a spacer, how much of a spacer ended up being the correct amount? I know that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Hoping my Diesel Willys is able to make these not be really...

No. I ended up not bothering with it. The front camera is kinda "cheating" anyway. A part of the skill is looking and scoping out your path and doing the best you can from the driver's seat. In my reearch there was some power specific to the camera and then the rear camera provide a...

Question if any of you have/are using any kind of air bag lifting jack? If you have, do you lift on the axel and the bags stay put? Any good or bad experience on the Jeep using these? I have mud terrain tires that I like to rotate with the spare. So, I'm changing and rotating them a lot to...

Well, The leveler are just fine. Rig looks great. Adapted new bumper to include both winch and tow adapters (had to cut and weld some pieces back together). Tows great behind the motorhome with a DIY shield/net that has kept all rocks completely off. Gone on nice trails in NM, MT, and CO...

I know about the various vinyl protectors for the rear fender, but wondering if anyone has come across anything better? I'm spending this summer on dirt and gravel roads high in the Rockies, and plenty of rockies hitting the rear fender factory installed protect film. I have Rok Blokz wheel...

The e-brake still hold the position on a slope with transfer in neutral. Doesn't explain the huge difference in pad wear. Perhaps Jeep are different, but typically brake pads ride on the disc with no pressure and do not sit off the disc by an 1/4"+ with a visible gap. That is also what...

Just noticed recently that when I park and set the e-brake, that the vehicle can sometimes still have a little movement. Didn't use to do that. I checked the front brakes, and they seem a little worn for only 6k miles. Checked the rear brake and the pads look new and are also not even...
