I replaced it with the recommended shaft and I'm very happy with it. I have flexed this 2.5" GC lift all over the Ozarks and in Colorado.

Good info thank you!

I have been looking at the MotoJack Rack and it's tempting me. I have a DR650 that I'd be carrying longer distances (I'll just ride my BMW R1200GSA if I'm going on a trip). Did you order the extra 2" drop version? I have a lift on my Gladiator and I think that the extra drop should get the...

Going west to east wasn't bad at all. No fires impacted us. The Gunnison fire is far north of Ophir and the Alpine loop

Let me know how it goes, I'll be there Tuesday

I have 2.5" and 315s, if there is someone there to spot me I'll try the Wall, but I'm not too proud to take the go-around. I'm excited for this trip!

How was Poughkeepsie? I think I'm going to spend an extra day in that area just playing around.

That was my experience last year on 2 wheels I wonder what caused the route organizers to change the rating then.

I did it on my motorcycle last summer but this trip will be in the Gladiator and my wife will be on the downhill side Her pucker factor for things like this is rated extreme.😂

I'll be leaving out of Telluride on 7/14 and want to take the section from Telluride to Lake City over the passes. I see the BDR route organizers have changed the rating on that section from Main to Alt/Hard due to side by side and Jeep traffic making it harder for dual sport and ADV bikes. Has...

Man, that's a huge compliment, thanks!

Not really a "mod" but I put the tent on for the summer camping and a trip to Colorado next month.

Yep, and that's what I ended up doing!

For now there isn't anything left that I want to do. The 4.10 gears turn the 315s perfectly for me, and playing offroad is a dream - the front suspension still have spring tension, it wasn't loose and the ABS and brake lines weren't tight at all. The rear had plenty of room to stuff up into the...

I decided on 315/70 17 Cooper STT Pros due to personal experience on my JL and I haven't decided on a permanent wheel yet, but these base steel wheels actually look pretty good. I may be getting some black lugs and keeping them rather than spending over 1000 clams on alloy wheels. I take a lot...

After getting the lift done, I had to wait a few days for Discount Tire to get the other 2 tires. I took the Jeep out for a quick spin to listen for clunks after lifting it and replacing the driveshaft. I stopped for a few pictures - it looks like someone has been skipping leg day, but I loved...

By late March 2025 my lift was finally delivered. Metalcloak customer service is top-notch and it actually shipped very fast, but it felt like forever. The instructions were very clear and the packaging was great, I had no problems with missing parts or any damage from the transit at all. My JL...

In March I ordered a Metalcloak 2.5" Game Changer lift and found a Harbor Freight Badlands winch to mount in the Arcus bumper I bought. While I waited for the lift to get delivered, I installed the bumper and winch on a very cold mid-March day. I couldn't figure out what I did wrong when...

I don't have a name for my Jeep. I got a 2021 Gladiator after going back and forth between a Tacoma and 2 door JL over the past few years. It started out like this - some BFG KO2's on factory wheels. I don't know what it was about this truck, but I loved it from day one.

I just bought the 2.5" Gamechanger. Looking for help choosing wheel size to run 35s. I have been reading too much of this stuff lately and I'm frying my brain. I found a good deal on these listed as Rubicon XR wheels, but it looks like they dont' have the correct backspacing. These appear to...
