  1. Goodbye Milestar Patagonia, Hello Gladiator X-Comp A/T?

    I’m right at 10k miles. First 5k was amazing! Got the vibration shortly after rotation. Really even wear on mine and unbelievably quiet. Vibration getting worse. 35-40 mph and again 60ish-68. 70-75mph still smooth at this point. Really interested to see what future holds for 40’s. watching...
  2. Noise from suspension(?) help

    Not much attention. I’m going to try the day star isolator
  3. Toys?

    I should’ve started a separate mini build thread but not much action on this one so I’ll keep adding. Yesterday got the king shocks filled with 30 weight and installed. Net 10% lift with more flex and they look cool. Today fuel wheels go to paint booth. Hopefully get them mounted to the...
  4. Toys?

    That’s my plan. 1/10th scale Remote Control mini me! They have most major tire/wheel replicas. I think I have everything sourced to do the project except for the gobi paint. The paint is on back order but expected by mid Jan. If this turns out as planned, I want to proceed with building a scale...
  5. Door hinges chipped up ?

    I have hinge chips as well as rear fender chips through the protective film and a few on windshield cowl and frame. Although I’m ocd for paint scratches/chips I think I will just touch up and keep trucking.

  11. Okay which one of us is this? Bad driver, language warning

    Probably not right and I’m old enough to know better but If someone’s beating on the side of my truck, I’m throwing hands.
  12. 4-tire rotation vs 5-tire rotation

    I used to let the tire store/dealer do it as it’s usually free with the tire but with my recent increase in size, no one wants to do them. So I’m doing myself. 5 tire rotation with 1 jack. But Man what a workout with 40’s!
  13. 4-tire rotation vs 5-tire rotation

    i have a coworker with new lifted Chevy truck with aftermarket wheels and 37” tires. Accident involving hitting deer and large rock in ditch. Everything good except busted 1 wheel and tire. He is unable to get replacement wheel and had to order new set. Oh new set he ordered 5! Fool me once.
  14. Why did you/didn’t you lift your JT?

    Lifted because I really like the look and opportunity for wheeling. Hindsight being just that, for every door that was opened on my build, it closed another. a lot gets taken for granted. Examples: Yes, it’s very easy to drive over a 24” diameter tree that is down on the trail. Yes, it is hard...
  15. Toys?

    I have the red one. So much fun to drive and crawl. Has a drag brake or 2 speed transmission. I’m set up with 2 speed. Cheaper than the real thing when it comes to rock rash and roll overs. I have new body ordered to paint gobi.
  16. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    We drooled over a corvette at work today. We’d really like to take a ride on it.
