I traded a Power Wagon for a Gladiator Mojave back in 2020. I really like the Gladiator platform, and if they would have put a bigger engine in them, I never would have gotten rid of it. But in 2022 I wanted more power and suspension, so I traded it for a TRX. Then in 2023 my wife wanted a...

The mechanic shop that does some of the work on my 392 is run by a guy that is the crew chief of a desert race team that competes in the unlimited trophy truck class. They often have one of their race trucks in the shop having some work done on it. I asked him one time how much the external...

The last challenge was posted on 7/21/24. How about someone come up with a new challenge? Or if it open to anyone, I'll ask for a picture of your Gladiator actually in snow, not just with snow behind it. It is still winter, so for those of you in the great white north, this should be an easy...

That suspension works well for high-speed desert. Gotta give him credit for that.

I think you did fine by getting 4 Mojave shocks for that price. They are better than many of the other shock options out there. You are already shoulder deep into this rabbit hole of changing your Rubicon into a Mojave suspension Rubicon, so you might as well finish the project. Definitely...

This right here. 👍 I come from a desert racing background, so suspension has been an important part of my offroad vehicles for decades. I have a couple of questions. Why do you want it to "ride like a Mojave" when you don't know what a Mojave rides like? Why do you want it to ride like a...

If it were me, I would be calling AMW.

I have a really expensive fuel spout for my Rotopax fuel containers coming my way. The California legal spouts that come with the Rotopax containers should win the Rube Goldberg award for most over complicated fuel spout. Too bad you can't get any fuel to actually pour through those over...

Where are you guys ordering your Smart Cap from? Who is a good retailer for purchasing these? Or do you buy direct from Smart Cap?

My wife and I made the mistake of reading "One Second After", by William R. Forstchen. You will never feel safe again, LOL. Anyway, we now both carry a "get home pack" in our vehicles, which is a backpack that contains survival gear that will keep you alive for a week, including water, MREs...

I was beginning to think I really needed a set of those. Then I saw that they were $100 per side! I think they want them more than I do.

Sure, here are a couple:

After spending a few days looking through this thread I have to say there are a lot of great looking Gladiators on this forum. It seems there are two main camps; what I would call the "Everyman Camp", and what I would call the "SEMA Camp". Some in the SEMA camp won the contest for how much...

I really like the tread pattern on those Fuel Gripper MT tires. How well do they work?

A year ago, my wife told me she wanted a more capable vehicle for a daily driver in Rocky Mountain winters than her Jeep Compass. We looked at a number of SUVs and small pickups. A Dodge Durango Hemi Orange Edition with racing stripes, 5.7 V8, and 25 speaker stereo was a contender, but in the...

You have chosen wisely. Do it once and do it right. You guys waiting for tires to wear out before going up a size need more Jeeps, LOL. My wife's Mojave is on 35s now. My JL was on 37s. When I changed to 40s on my JL I didn't have to wait for the 37s to wear out. I just rolled them down to...

I've installed a number of different lifts over the years, including Teraflex, Metalcloak, Eibach, Rock Krawler, Rubicon Express, and others. Recently I've settled on Metalcloak for having the best quality of parts, easiest installation, and best functionality. I've currently got a Metalcloak...

No.

Looks good. I like it.

It sounds like our Jeep ownership has been similar over the years, both in number and type of Jeeps. We also own a Challenger. It doesn't get driven much, it is a 2019 and just turned over 7,000 miles. Just yesterday my wife and I did a 120-mile drive to do some shopping in a bigger town, and...
