Well BIG update time! The death wobble seems to be no more! Spent the weekend with my buddy installing the new 2” aluminum drag link and tie rod from RPM Steering. Also got the Steersmarts yeti track bar! First off if you need a heavy duty track bar that steersmarts one is no joke its heavy! I...
Hey again everyone! Well think I finally got my death wobble issue figured out but it wasn’t pretty. Ended up that the tie rod and drag link ends were shot. Also have a guy from my jeep club stop by to try and make sure I wasn’t missing anything and he noticed that my track bar is flexing when i...
I also got my first taste of some light offroading today! Me and my buddy went to Earl's Ford Road in Clayton, Georgia. We started by grabbing lunch at the Universal Joint and I will say that the pimento cheeseburger is on point! I highly recommend it. the ride was a Nice short dirt road with a...
Hey Everyone! Hope you guys had a great week and weekend! I finally got a little time squeezed in to during the week just to do a couple minor things to the gladiator. First thing I started messing with was fixing my driver's side visor. Apparently some jeep have an issue where the "arm" of the...
Will do! I honestly have just not had time to get around to installing it yet. I bought the hardware to atleast hopefully mount the radio to the overhead rack just to get something accomplished this week but yea…things don’t go according to plan ?. Hopefully a progress update coming this week!
Hey everyone! Hope everyone has been doing well. Well i finally convinced my wife to let me spend some money on the jeep so I’ve got a few things that I’m going to be attempting over the next week or so (yes i hid the toaster from her so she wouldn’t beat me with it when i asked about spending...
Long overdue update! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted an update but ive done a few thing to the Gladiator just in the past couple days. Finally got a winch! I went with the smittybilt gen 3 9.5k with steel cable. Was looking hard at the same winch but synthetic cable and after reading some of...
I’m getting the itch to add more lights (yes, I like lights) what would the options be as far as wiring goes putting a small light bar on the center of the bull bar on my bumper? Would the only option be to drill a hole in the bar for it to look nice and purdy?
Now for the last update that i did this past weekend. I ordered a Fab Fours stubby bumper off of Amazon and it came in a little scratched up so luckily have a friend that owns a powder coating business in Atlanta that was able to hook me up with a new paint job for it for only the cost of...
the lift was done around August of this year. Now fast forward to the present and my next task was to add some auxiliary lighting and switches. I wanted rigid cubes but i decided to stay somewhat budget friendly and went with Quadratec’s 3” cubes. I found a nice looking dual cube light mount on...
I unfortunately don’t have any pictures of the process for the rear but the worst part was getting the coil springs installed. We finally got them in and went to bolt on the shocks and skyjacker didn’t include the hardware for one of the rear shocks. Now that isn’t me bad mouthing them as they...
Now the next day the rain stopped and it was time…so with all of my youtube and forum knowledge we started tearing everything apart. Everything went well no major roadblocks aside from me not having certain tools that we needed…oops. But within the forst day my buddy and I had the front half of...
After adding in some cool little things like a shorter antenna and interior nic nacks I decided it was time to tackle something larger in scale. I watched youtube video after youtube video and scoured these forums to build my confidence to where i felt i could do a lift and larger tires in my...
The first small thing i did was removed these 2 plastic parts from the fender. Turns out that I had some issues with the tires rubbing so removing that gave some extra room and i thought it looked better :rock:. After this i bought and added some wheel spacers to finally fix the issues with the...
