I really need to do something to address my cooling issues, but my biggest hangup with this setup is how strong is the skid plate housing going to be? Since this puts the cooler in one of the most vulnerable possible locations, any impact with a trail obstacle will leave the vehicle completely...

Mine has always had the same problems, and firmware updates haven't made a difference. In addition to the bugs you mentioned, my Tazer also periodically locks my rear locker on the freeway in 2WD, and it likes to disconnect my sway bar at random times. My hunch is that it has a lot of...

I wouldn't have bought my Wrangler or my Gladiator if they didn't have a proper pair of solid axles. I won't buy any truck with car suspension, which means only the Gladiator, Ineos Grenadier/Quartermaster, Ram HD, and Ford SD are of any interest to me. If Jeep throws away the tried-and-true...

There's more to offroad capability than just extreme articulation. At a certain point, more is not better. Leafs have proven to be able to provide more than enough articulation, as seen above. One of the benefits of leaf springs which I haven't seen mentioned yet is their design spreads...

I was one of those very outspoken people who begged Jeep to build a pickup and begged Jeep to offer a diesel. So when the diesel Gladiator came out, I was a man of my word. Would I love a 392 Gladiator? Of course. But not at a $40,000 premium over the Pentastar. The $4,000 upcharge for the...

Concord has Left Coast Diesel. Walnut Creek has Devil Mountain Diesel.

This is a known issue because of the diesel's longer bumpstop mounts reducing the amount of uptravel compared to the gasser, compounded by the fact that the OEM diesel front springs are still too soft for the weight of the diesel. Just driving down the street to my house used to be unbearable...

Your blowout wasn't necessarily due to the tires being "cheap Chinese crapola." If your tire had picked up a nail and had a slow leak that you hadn't noticed, it would have built up heat and flex as it deflated until it ultimately tore open its sidewall. It would have done this regardless of...

That's how I did mine. I open the crossover ball valve, pressurize the 2 airbags through my 1 shrader valve, then close the ball valve. This minimizes the opportunity for sway when hauling or towing. But when unladen and the bags are only inflated to 3psi, I keep the ball valve open so...

That's how I did mine, too.

There's clearly demand for a cooler setup. We just need to find someone who's interested in and able to put together a commercially viable solution. Unfortunately under the bumper isn't a particularly good location because I'd rip mine off in the first 5 minutes of any of my favorite trails.

Or you could just keep it and enjoy the nice machine you've built and haven't yet used.

The Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 are marketed as being some of the quietest mud terrain tires on the market, yet despite religious tire rotations and perfectly smooth tread wear, they are very noisy, much noisier than the Falken Wildpeak AT3W's that were on it. They're fantastic tires on- and...

Mud terrain tires will obviously perform better in mud. They're also generally preferred for rockcrawling, too. But in most other terrains, an All terrain tire will outperform a Mud terrain tire. There's no perfect tire; they all have compromises in their design. You just need to give...

Mud Terrain type tires will have a lot more rolling resistance than an All Terrain type of tire, and they'll be a lot noisier. A narrower tire will return better fuel economy and can provide more traction in certain terrains than a wider tire. Look into a 35x10.50 or 35x11.50, especially if...

For your needs, you probably just need a digressive monotube like the Bilstein 5100's. With your center of gravity and weight, the relatively soft and progressive style Reds are contributing to the "rocking back and forth" you're experiencing.

I've been using the one from Supreme Suspensions for 3 years, and it has held up despite lots of abuse.
