  1. Iron Rock Off Road 2" Spacer Lift Incoming

    Awesome you're getting out after surgery, live the jeep life. It should be a no-stress event and you will appreciate the end result. Post some pics, before, during and after the install.
  2. Spacer Lift question

    Wish I would have seen this earlier. With any lift you change the geometry of the suspension. Everything needs to be adjusted, so the answer to your questions were yes. Get the adjustable track bar and if you haven't already done so get the longer shocks. If the lift did not come with...
  3. Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) & Satellite Messengers

    Interesting you bring those up. I have used versions that are programmable and to mark landing zones and drop zones. The only issue with those for most people is that they are IR, a visible one would be more appropriate. You can mark a landing zone for a helicopter and also mark obstacles...
  4. Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) & Satellite Messengers

    All the devices are great, but they are not fool proof. Terrain masking, vegetation, severe weather and power issues will have an effect on them. Key thing to remember; it has to "see" a satellite. An extreme example would be a person trapped under a rolled vehicle. The device will...
  5. Turning wheel all the way while in 4WD

    Either way, the AWD mode allows the front to be connected, but still turn or rotate at a slightly "different" speed to prevent binding. Once locked, it can and will bind creating the effect the original poster brought up. Whether it is through clutch packs, gears, or electronically...
  6. Turning wheel all the way while in 4WD

    Lets make this a little more clear as mud. 1. It is normal. 2. Read #1 Lets clear up a couple of things. The jeep has a transfer case, it the piece that is connected to the 4wd shift lever. It is not a center diff. A center diff is normally a part of the transfer case that has full...
  7. ΚΑΣΣΑΝΔΡΑ (Kassandra) - Hydro Blue and Supercharged

    Nice build! A quick note, when stomping on the gas and front end raising, that is an indicator of needing to adjust your suspension. When stomping, you want want the rear end to slightly push up/forward and the front remain. This means more energy is being used to propel you rather than the...
  8. OEM Gladiator Steel Wheels

    4 of them @ $415.00 from the dealership, but that is right after I bought the JT so they may taken care of me. I went with dealership as they are typically better quality than aftermarket. Aftermarket have massive weld seams and I have seen some that were warped out of the box. Plus, the...
  9. OEM Gladiator Steel Wheels

    I went with factory steel spare wheels all around. I am a fan of them. The tires are 35". I have more plans for the JT, just getting started, but it will more of an overland vs rock crawler. I am a minimalist and prefer to have a more "stockish" vehicle than a overly modified vehicle. This...
  10. Airing Down?

    Depends on the terrain, weight of vehicle and contents, weather/environment and driving skill.
  11. To air down or not to air down

    A couple of things on airing down. - Airing down allows the tire to flex which reduces the chance of puncture or tear. A recommendation is to air down at least 5psi. - Not all 4wheeling requires low tire pressure. Some obstacles can be easily navigated due to wheel base, short or long...
  12. Gladiator vs Toyota 4Runner Review (Car and Driver)

    Land Cruisers are heavy, built like a tank. I had two 80 series. The prado's are nice, but importing them with a LH steering is expensive and it usually has high milage. $runner has a low belly as well, compared to others. So no, it is not as high as a JLU with 2" lift and 35". The thing...
  13. Disable Auto Park?

    Interesting how the two groups argue for or against a factory control. I don't claim to understand why the manufacturer has the auto park feature. I just realize that every vehicle I have previously owned never had auto park and I am still alive as I type this response. I never fell out of...
  14. Gladiator vs Toyota 4Runner Review (Car and Driver)

    I had a 2018 TRD Pro, wasn't my favorite vehicle. Many say they like the space, I thought it was too big, especially for the east coast. Power was mediocre, but it worked. To put 35" tires it would take a kit that is costly. Reliability, it is great but has a few issues with the wiring loom...
