I jumped on here to share the news and you beat me to it!
I'll buy this in a second if they do a Gladiator. And they also need to start making choices of colors on these kits. I would love that giant Traxxis RC car Gladiator....but holy cow, that's over $1,000 to get involved in that hobby...
Cold out. Who cares? Not me.
Top off, finished up my hot heads installation on the back.
I thought it was a bit ridiculous to sand fiberglass INSIDE the Jeep and get everything dusty. Plus I have 2 kids seats in there. So I laid it upside down in the driveway on a blanket. Sanded up the...
Count me down for a vote for Yes to the LED package. I love mine and I'm so glad I did it. It's done, and it's done right.
Here are my pros:
Obviously way brighter than standard, as we all can agree
It's the headlights, fog lights, fender lights and tail lights, all for a grand. No brainer...
I'm in the middle of a battle with Bakflip over how poorly this MX4 has been translated to the Gladiator. My install was HORRIBLE! The missing nut at the front of the bed was the easiest issue I ran into. I just used bolts and lock nuts. Those rivet nut things are a joke. When I installed...
My JTR with the stock 33 ATs was delivered to me a few weeks ago with 40 PSI. First drive home it peaked to 42. Now that it's colder, 38.
Too high? What PSI "feels right" for the Rubicon AT 33s?
Many things cause RS to fail. Check engine lights, low battery.
Have you done any recent work to it like disconnect the battery? That can throw a code for awhile.
Have you run the vehicle for awhile to ensure the battery is charged? Is the battery older than 6 months? Could be a dud and...
There is one advantage I can think of. If you cut a 2x8 correctly for a snug fit, it is a bit unruly to get in and out, especially if you have tonneau cover tracks in the way. The 2x4s are just easier and lighter to handle.
But yes, you can absolutely do a 2x8 and rip it.
Nice, I just cut a 2x6 for this on Monday. I was thinking about staining it blue and putting a logo on it.
So I noticed Jeep expects you to use 2 2x4s for 7". The 2x6 gets you 5.5". My thought was that if I ever really need that plywood setup, I could lay another 2x-something flat, under the...
On our very first trip, I handed these to my wife to install while I drove. Took 10 seconds and wow, what a difference. I love the metal feel and they look like it was designed this way in the first place. Looks great with the Hydro blue! I highly recommend...
Finally Arrived! Whoooo hooo! Already put 300 miles on it, took the front roof off, and it feels great! 9 weeks total for mine.
Thanks, Leon Travis at Criswell! He was great and I recommend him to anyone in the area struggling to find a good deal. Northern DE is a dead zone for deals...
Absolutely.
My math was totally myopic on purpose. I was just focusing on gas mileage for the fun of it. Clearly, the Diesel has it's perks. It's not for everyone. But there are 20 things to consider besides MPG for sure.
Plus, now that all the data is out, my original post is obsolete.
9/17 Ordered
9/22 Status D
10/8 Status D1 with estimated ship date of 11/5
11/2 Framing

11/4 Build Sheet Found
11/5 Awaiting Additional add on (Bedliner added 7 days)
11/13 Shipped (8 days after estimate), Dealership notified me, Window Sticker Found
I'm hoping to get it this week...
In all my searching for covers, I've noticed a lot of companies ask whether or not you have that rail system because they will offer slightly different hardware. The worst cast scenario is that the clamps you currently have don't work, and you will have to get clamps that fit the rail. They...
Like others have said, I don't get it. I ordered a week before you and I'm "awaiting additional parts to be installed". Probably my bedliner. So it's been sitting around doing nothing for 8 days. My build sheet arrived on the exact same day of my D1 Status Estimated Ship date.
But not only is...
It's not obvious to me why the election would matter for your order. Can you elaborate on that? I'm just curious. Are you trying to choose between Hydro Blue and Fire Cracker Red? LOL!
I also ordered from him. Here is my status:

I'm currently on pace for 8 weeks to delivery. I think I'm on the high end for time. Someone ordered a Mojave 3 weeks after me from him and he was given the...

Finally moved out of D1 and into building. JeepCares says it's being framed. 25 days being spent in D1 doesn't make any sense to me. That's a long time to be saying "all parts have been acquired and it...
How is everyone getting their Jeep build so much faster than mine? I ordered on 9/17 from a high volume dealership. Rubicon, Hydro Blue. The only option that might be on the rare side would be the Dark Saddle Leather. BUT I got my D1 Status on October 8. Since then, I've been told that "all...
