Alright- so, this seems to be a pretty broad brand deal with a lot of smaller companies making good products.
Currently have a canopy with a decked system and would like to get a slide for our snowmaster fridge.
If any of you are also running a fridge on a slider- either straight slide, tilt...
This…. The satellite bill back to insurance was $1200 and my copay was $0 this cost will be shared.
Moving forward (had no idea $1200 for the factory glass…) we will be going with the non gorilla. Supposedly this is more like $300.
This is hard- because blend?? I would never run Coilovers in the rear of a JT due to the varying weight. But I would up front. And opposite for the long arms. Long arms up front- rear is “ok” ideally triangulated rear would be perfect- unfortunately the DEF tank hasn’t fallen off yet… ??
Is...
I can’t say for certain (do not have a truck bed tool box) But I don’t think that the tool box is that tight. But as long as it’s secured to the rails, it should be fine.
The good news is that the artech setup is probably the least welding out of all of the full axle truss/skid setups. You can also just get their skids…. Weld on is the way to go for LCA skids.. ? grinding can make up for some of the LCA welding aesthetics. ?
So, Mel and his Daughter race their gladiator with this setup up front and trailing arm rear. I mean, things can break- and things Definitely break when you are racing… I just don’t think I’ll be going that hard with the gladiator/jeep… side by side ? sure! Jeep nah.
This isn’t necessarily true. The evo kit relocates the mounts along the sides of the frame rail and has a bend in the arm… literally gaining frame clearance.
Yes.
right now WFO is coming out on top, even if it means I have to modify the Fitment for artech skids. ??? still have some time, so waiting for others to chime in and see different perspectives.
In terms of joint wear…. I do tend to look at this as a consumable…. They aren’t cheap...
Wfo is on my radar.

and evo….

Hoping these are discussed. Evo’s long arm is a lot like their high clearance kit offered on the JkU...
It is pretty nuts $450 for 37” is eh not too far off many others…. $675 for 39’s that measure what they do I think is crazy.
I am the odd duck out…. Patagonia XT’s $290 for 37’s and $365 for 40’s ? measure true to size…
Really? Ko2’s aren’t bad I just think it sucks that their 37’s are so expensive…

That is an answer only you can provide….
2.5” diesel will clear 37’s with almost no bump stops… gas will need at least 1.25” bump up front. down travel is going to be the same on either kit. So ??‍♂️.
2.5 is going to give you the lower center of gravity.
Function>form ???
If you’re worried...
