One option I should not have gone with was the upgraded black polished wheels. I replaced mine after owning it 1 week... have a think about what mods you will do so you don’t waste money on OEM parts that will be replaced anyway.
I did the Rough Country 2.5” leveling kit but for me it didn’t look right. I never really liked it (just my opinion). I’ve now installed a 1-1/2” leveling kit in the back and it looks almost perfectly aligned. So I would say the 1-1/2” front will get you as level as she will sit. I can’t believe...
I went with the black for the same reason as everyone else apart from one. I’m going to replace mine with aftermarket fenders so why pay for the colored fenders when I’m going to replace them anyway. I’m putting that money towards my aftermarket fenders.
I contacted A.R.E directly for more detail on the Gladiator shells and they responded back to me with the below
These are currently in design stage. The CX-REVO & EVOLVE will be the ONLY fiberglass units available when they are released. The DCU, DCU Max & Diamond Edition DCU, will be available...
Yea absolutely, just choose your lines carefully and in my opinion stay away from that last shoot off as you get back to the main road towards Silverwood Lake. That’s were we got 25 degree roll....
Absolutely always keen to meet fellow Jeepers. Im planning a trip to Azusa Canyon either next weekend or the following weekend. We’re also doing Moab during the Thanksgiving week.
Just my view but I have a 2 1/2” in the front and 1 1/2” in the back with 35x12.5R17 tires. I honestly don’t think I need much more at this point. She goes everywhere I am willing to go and MPG and towing is not affected much. I would like to go 37’s in my next set of tires just to provide a...
I can tell you an alarm in my ass went off at 25 degrees..... I’ll be happy to not see that again. Pitch at 26 is just as scary, we actually hit 27 at one point but all I wanted to do at that point was get back to a normal view of the world....
Honestly the trail itself is very mild. The last shoot off is the most technical. I would say just go and play but stay away from the last one (or first if you enter from Silver lake)
Some quick photos, was an amazing day. Cleghorn Rd itself is very easy. The offshoots are fun (very mild). The last offshoot (or the first one if you enter from Silver Lake is the most difficult. We got some great angles on these. Definitely worth a go.
Installed some lower control arm skid plates today. By far the part of the Gladiator getting the most damage while on trails. I was however not able to get the top screw to line up but it’s flush against the frame so it’s going nowhere. Heading out in the morning will see how they hold up.
I'm running 35's on mine and I've been hitting some hard rated trails in California. My next set will be 37's. My concern was the factory warranty. Jeep will honor the warranty when you run 35's but 37's and up they will start asking questions... Given how new these are I wanted to give it some...
Yea the front OEM LED fog lights works fine. It comes with the mount kits to relocate them. I didn't notice any sagging but I do have the 2 1/2" leveling kit in it. Installation was very simple and took about 2 hours from start to finish. No drilling or modifications required. The only thing I...
