The Raptor (F150) and 1500 are IFS. Fitting long travel coilovers to a solid front axle (especially like the setup that the Sandstorm concept was running) is a different animal. Even the Evo bolt-on coilover conversion kit for the JK required new perches, fenders, and a super wide offset on...

The Hemi can not pass crash testing in the Wrangler, it's too long for the crumple zone. We'll never see it in the JL. Likewise it is very unlikely to see any custom frame or major frame modifications for this truck if it is going to be OEM. Any changes to fit coilovers are likely going to...

The problem would seem to be that to fit coilovers they may have to modify the spring perches, frame, and/or tub, which would make it more unlikely. I think it's more likely that they'd put a remote reservoir shock on there, like in the higher end Mopar suspension kits.

This is going to cost a million dollars but I love it. It seems kind of unlikely it would have coilovers, but should at least have some pretty nice remote reservoir race shocks on it.

This is an awesome package. And it makes the decision between Rubicon and Sport a LOT more difficult. The price of the package will be key. But you're basically getting Rubicon axles and the HD Rubicon brakes and 4.10 gearing without going Rubicon. The standard Transfer Case is fine and most...

Social handle is here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rickbernotas Here is my '99 TJ at Tellico: My '03 TJ on Mosquito Pass: My '14 JKU: And my Manley ORV Original trailer: The TJ's are long gone, but when I move to a Gladiator the JK will get traded. I'm not sure yet...

IMO you should choose the Gladiator in nearly every instance where hard core 4x4 or price isn't a factor. It's just massively more useful due to the truck bed. If hard core 4x4 is more important to you and you need the breakover and departure clearance for big rocks, deep washouts, big ledges...

This is exactly the top I want. I would second the call for the sides to be able to be rolled up. Also if there is any way you guys can figure out how to mount removable roof rack supports around and above that top (for RTT, carrying other stuff on top), that would be perfect.

These trucks are so cool. I can not wait!

Cooper Discoverer S/T MAXX. 1. Made in USA, engineered in USA, and company owned in USA. 2. Hybrid AT and MT that does well on all 4wd surfaces and still excellent in rain/snow on pavement 3. Impossibly strong sidewalls 4. Quiet (until they're 35k miles +, then they start to get noisier)

Hey BestopTeam, you guys need to make a soft bed topper that matches the Gladiator soft top. Not a tonneau but a full soft bed topper. Something like a Softopper bed top, but that would accommodate a bed rack fitting around the soft bed top, so I can still carry kayaks, bikes, RTT, etc. over...

My '14 JK was the first time I had leather in a Jeep and they are extremely easy to clean after 4wheeling. That said, I went with the leather because the cloth in the JK's was such poor quality and would rot out quickly if the interior was used hard. From '03 to '06 in the TJ's Jeep used a...

That's how many hundred dollar bills we're going to need to bring to the dealer just to get a base model :cwl::bandit:

Like this, but with a bed-mounted rack that goes around and over the top of it:

I like this, this is what is needed but I agree it's gotta fit over a tonneau. Preferably I want one that fits over a Softopper. Softopper + bed rack that fits over the Softopper is my dream for this truck. You get a soft enclosed top for the bed that increases interior space dramatically...

I think this setup is fine if it doesn't come all the way down. The sunrider bows unlatch from the rails very easily and there can't be much attaching the top to the rear cage. If anything someone will make quick disconnects for the attachment bolts at the rear. Then you can easily pull the...

Given a choice I would rather have both. Hook and shackle mount. Hooks are good when you need to rapidly get a strap on an offcamber vehicle, or when the recovery point is so buried in deep mud that you couldn't easily deal with the shackle pin. Shackle mount for everything else. Shackle...

It might also have to do with the forward gear ratios of the manual trans they had available, and what RPMs that runs the engine at on the highway under a trailering load. May be a cooling thing. Just guessing tho.

Because the Rubicon is heavier by quite a bit (due to the 4:1 tcase, front swaybar disconnect actuator, etc.), and the larger and heavier tire size on Rubicons. I think Rubicons are heavier by about 350-400 lbs across the board.

I assume they went with these Falkens because they needed to hit a specific rating for payload and towing that the BFG's couldn't hit at 1) the tire size they wanted and 2) the right price point. I similarly haven't heard a lot about these tires, but it's nice they are allowing the choice...
