I had this exact setup in my old TJ. Eaton Truetrac helical gear LSD in the rear, Eaton e-locket up front, 3PMSF tires. It was very confidence inspiring in all snow conditions. I found that the gear driven LSD tended to be less likely to kick the rear end out compared to a clutchpack LSD. It...

RE: Jerking while turning. You have discovered one of the tradeoffs of a part-time 4x4 system. Every part time 4x4 does it. The front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked together in 4H whereas in a full-time awd system the front and rear driveshafts are allowed to spin at different rates.

*Looked* fine? Or was it inspected for runout and found to measure within spec? It would be pretty easy to miss a bent shaft with just a visual check. In a past life, here's what I'd do to try and narrow down the cause. Find the road speed at which the bounce/low frequency vibration occurs...

Decidedly not flat lander here. Regularly make the climb from 5280ft to 11,000ft. Not sure what would be considered "frequent" shifting. All I know is that the ECU does a great job holding the motor up in the rpm band when necessary, yet allows upshifting all the way to 8th for the flat spots. I...

Ah I missed the "LT" page. There is a 34" at least in the 285/75/17 flavor. Would still love a proper 35 skinny or not.

Biggest size I see in a 17" wheel is 265/70R17 which will make it a nonstarter. Really a missed opportunity for GY. Will be missing the JL, JT, Bronco, and Raptor audience who all run 35" tires on a 17" wheel. I'd really like to see a skinnyish size like my 35x11.50x17 Toyo ATiii's.

I'm pretty sensitive to gearing changes but have been happy with 35s on 4.10s with the auto trans at least. If I had a MT that may not be the case. After re-programming the tire size, I still see 8th gear regularly and it cruises well still at altitude here in CO. MPG-wise I get 17 around town...

Yup see my post here. Exact same symptoms on Monday morning for me https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/lights-on-but-engine-doesn%E2%80%99t-start-turn-over-single-click-then-restarts.74390/page-2

you could absolutely do this in the parking lot. I did this street parked in front of my house with the curb in the way. Just disconnect the negative terminal from the main battery before doing literally anything. Seems like the aux batteries are kind of junk then kill the main. My aux is...

Just deleted my aux battery this afternoon after it had similar symptoms and would not start Monday morning. Full light show and wipers going nuts and it claiming t wasn’t in park. Having just done this, no need for a tow truck. Get a new main battery, remove and tape up the negative cable from...

Any leadtimes requried for the trans?

Might as well share this here. Last month I completed a Hut Trip riding my mountain bike from Telluride, CO, to Moab, UT. Roughly 225mi / 25kft over 7 days. Highly highly recommend a trip like this once in your life if you're into MTB and backcountry at all. Lots of miles on a heavy bike though...

Sidenote: if I had more money than time, I'd seriously look at one of AEV's offerings @Idaho-Jeep . They work with some dealers to upfit a brand new Gladiator with all of their goodies. Check out the JT370 option, for example: JT Gladiator - American Expedition Vehicles - AEV (aev-conversions.com)

I also had a TJ and loved that thing, but I had to get real with myself about what my needs were and what I actually wanted to do. The JT is enormous compared to the TJ. If you find yourself in super tight wooded areas all the time, or if rock crawling is your thing, you'll quickly find the...

I have a different starting point than you with the stock Rubicon suspension. I'm not sure if the Willys has the same spring rate or not (they're pretty soft). I ended up going with the Eibach Pro-Truck shocks since they're monotube, were actually in stock (unlike the Bilsteins), and supposedly...

I don't think over-inflation is the root cause here. Overly inflated tires would be very stiff and not rock back and forth. Sounds like soft/blown shocks and the exact behavior that pushed me to pull off the stock Rubi Fox shocks and replace them with something stiffer. I wanted more ride control.

Reading through this thread I can appreciate the care behind this request. There have been some great suggestions in this thread. I'd personally start with keeping it simple for the switch extensions and using Sugru to fabricate a proof of concept and see if a lever extension that moves up and...

Alright, got the shocks installed yesterday! Took a bit longer than expected between figuring out how to compress the gas charged shocks to the right length such that the bolt holes lined up, and the tight tool access for the rear upper shock mounts. A trick that I (re)learned is using a...
