  1. What doors-off mirrors are you running?

    x2 for CMM....don't waste your money on cheap ones that will just get blown out of view with the wind or vibrate like crazy
  2. What's under all that plastic ?

    I've seen one with the RH mount that sits on top of the plastic bumper....awful
  3. Outside Naked Overnight

    RainGear cab cover if parking outside. Its parked in the garage most of the time, but when I need to leave it out I just throw the cover on it. It fits tight and with the lift and tires, it think most animals would have a hard time jumping up into it an pushing the tight cover aside...
  4. So many doodads

    Same. I keep a word doc with all the mods/parts I want complete with prices and hyperlinks. That way I can prioritize and add notes like discounts and price matching. I also have an excel sheet that I then put the parts I buy, the cost, where I got them, etc. It helps slow me down when I am...
  5. What are the "MUST HAVE" mods after buying your Gladiator? ($5,000 starting budget)

    How is the single working for you? What size tires do you have? I have 35s and am wondering if a single would be sufficient or if I should go with the twin. I only plan to fill one tire at a time rather than those 4 airline equalizers. The cheap amazon single portable I use now is slow as hell.
  6. Driving Lessons!

    I sort of taught my wife. I bought her a 5spd civic and threw her to the wolves! I tried to explain how a clutch operates with a pressure plate and flywheel from a mechanical standpoint and she just wasn't getting it. She found a few helpful youtube videos and pretty much taught herself. That...
  7. Rugged Ridge Arcus

    Rugged Ridge actually makes a decent wireless winch with synthetic rope that fits perfect in this bumper. I've been running this combo for a few months now and has held up great off-road. RR Trekker Winch
  8. I am 0 for 2 trying to install skid plates

    Both of these are known issues here on the forum. I had to enlarge one of the holes on my Rusty's CA Skids. That U-bolt is too short on the Rancho front skid, the rear uses a different system. There is a youtube of a guy who bent the tabs up and made the u-bolt reach. I used a 3 1/2 muffler...
  9. Headed to Jericho

    What day are you going? I'm in MA and have been thinking about trying it as well. From the reviews I have read for it there is a lot of stacking rocks if you have a stock JT.
  10. At what point are additional skids needed?

    Are you referring to the front skid plate under the bumper? The Rubicons and Mojave's come with a steel front skid plate whereas the Sports have a plastic cover (mostly for gas mileage I assume). My Rubi also has a FAD skid, its pretty weak though so I will be upgrading with the RH one. They...
  11. rock crawling 35s vs 37s on 2-inch lift

    I'm in a similar situation with the 2" and 35s. I upgraded most of the skids and added diff & CA sliders for the rocks you can't just drive around. I really didn't want to go to 37s
  12. Axeman's Rig Journal

    Took a ride to a local off-road park today. Big difference in clearance with the lift and tires over the last time I was on trails.
  13. Leaking axle seal?

    Whether this was a case of over-filling or not, it is a possibility. All of the situations you mentioned are all capable of leaking if overfilled. The systems are designed to operate and withstand a certain capacity of fluid to allow for expansion under heat and pressure. Thats why engines have...
  14. Leaking axle seal?

    I took mine to Kelly Jeep in Lynnfield. I'm not sure if I'll be doing much with them after this repair because they don't seem to 'mod friendly'. I had the same issue with inventory, I ended up buying mine down at Imperial in Mendon and I'm not going back down there for service. May try Herb...
  15. Leaking axle seal?

    This is where I'm at. I had a noticeable leak at 200 miles where it would pool in the rim after driving. I went to the dealer at around 400 and it had slowed significantly by then to just seeping. They ordered a replacement axle assembly (axle/seal/bearing) and I am still waiting for it to come...
  16. Gladiators on Mopar 2" Lift Kit

    Freshly installed Mopar 2" on my '21 JTR. 35x12.5 Dick Cepeks on DirtyLife DT-1s
  17. Axeman's Rig Journal

    Well it's still raining hard here with Elsa making her way through but I figured I'd snap a few pics in the parking garage when I was in town this morning. Swallowed up my 35s...
  18. Anyone going to Jeep Day at 508 Int. tomorrow?

    Another Jeep day coming up this Sunday the 10th....anyone wanting to check it out?
  19. Axeman's Rig Journal

    Picked up a Mopar 2" Lift. Found it brand new in the crate still on FB Marketplace for $800. Had to take 6 hour, 370 mile roundtrip to get it, but it was well worth the deal. Took me just under 5 hours to install it. I put the Teraflex 1" front coil spacers in at the same time so it would...
  20. At what point are additional skids needed?

    I got the RS62116 front, and RS62117 rear. They fit as they should. Rancho has one listed for the gladiator as RS62138 but I don't know anyone thats tried that one yet. Rancho Rock Gear
