You guys missed a great meetup. It was a little chilly and windy but all in all, not bad. Probably about 20 Jeeps in attendance. It was nice to meet Valhrue and his Punk'n Gladiator there. I'm sure he and I must have answered a million questions about our Gladiator and it seems that a lot of the...
One day away! Was hoping to have the tops and doors off but might be a little too chilly in the morning for that. Will have to wait until afternoon. Hope to see everyone there, will be nice to have some more Gladiators.
Not exactly sure. I installed the spacer in the front at the same time I installed the Mopar lift because I knew I was adding a heavy bumper and winch. But I can tell you that even with the spacer, I still have some rake.
glad you like it. i took a lot of crap for it. here's the details and video.

On my highway commute back and forth to work, I go over some overpasses but most of it is level terrain. At 70 mph, it can hit 8th but as soon as one of the overpasses comes up, it drops to 7th and if it's a large one or if there is a headwind, it drops to 6th. Honestly haven't been able to keep...
It's close to 2.5". When I put mine on along with 37" tires, I gained 4.5" of lift measured at the center of the fenders and at the pillar between the front and rear doors.
Make sure they installed the front spring perches correctly as well. The instructions included with the Mopar lift are incorrect/contradictory and if they installed them on the wrong sides, your sway bar end link will hit the spring. I know this because it happened to me. Also check to see if...
I have never heard of that brand and $1100 for an unknown brand sounds really high. Sounds like the off-road shop has a good deal with the distributor and makes more profit off of this winch than say a Warn or Smittybilt and that's why they're pushing it on you.
I'm running a newly released...
There are going to be plenty of Gladiators at SEMA. It's the hot new vehicle and tons of off-road shops & aftermarket vendors are bringing them. I've been following a lot of them on Instagram, so I've already seen most of them.
My bumper was made for it as well, but that doesn't always mean it will work. My bumper has a recessed area for the winch and from the looks of it, it's about as deep as an area as yours. Once you put the winch on it, it takes up more room than you think. I'm just saying it might be an issue so...
Yep. I did the same thing. Added a 3/4" spacer on top of the Mopar lift and then bought a JKS adjustable track bar to re-center the axle and used the opportunity to re-center the steering wheel.
