  1. Can steering wheel play be reduced/eliminated?

    Hello all. I have a 21’ JTR. I think the current most aggravating thing is the amount of play/dead space in the steering wheel. Is there a way to tighten it up? I’m aware of the steering box adjustment but that seems quite debated as to whether it should be touched or not. The tie rod/drag link...
  2. We are Suckers

    I’ve owned and known a few others who have owned a 2.7 f150. The engine was great. Fuel economy was great as well as power. No issues to report for anyone I know that’s had one. The 3.6 has the known lifter issues but due to the shear volume in which they’re produced, I think it’s slightly blown...
  3. We are Suckers

    Maybe I’m in a minority but I don’t care to have a v8 upfront. The 8 speed is great, if you can pair it with an engine that has atleast ~325hp and good torque down low I think this would be nearly perfect. The diesel option seemed like a really good choice if they could just keep it reliable...

    Hello all. Currently I’m running 37” c load ko2’s which are listed at 63lbs, I’m looking at a used set of 37” Baja boss at’s that are listed at 80lbs each. So 68lbs total increase in tire weight. im still on the factory 4.10’s (JTR) and currently happy with how it drives. I’m worried by adding...
  6. Popping from underneath as suspension cycles?

    No it was the transfer case skid
  7. Popping from underneath as suspension cycles?

    Feel like an idiot and not sure how I didn’t spot it prior. But it was indeed the skid plate. Not sure what caused it but the nut for the rearward bolt on the driver side of the skid plate sheered off in the frame so it was just rattling and popping when flexed. I had to cut the bolt and use a...
  8. Popping from underneath as suspension cycles?

    Mine are less than 2 months old
  9. Popping from underneath as suspension cycles?

    I’m thinking of taking the plate off and seeing if it stops. It feels as if the plate is popping against the frame or something
  10. Popping from underneath as suspension cycles?

    I installed the lift myself. The disconnect wasn’t affected as far as I can remember.
  11. Popping from underneath as suspension cycles?

    As stated in the first post I have a 3.5” Metalcloak game changer lift. It’s hard to explain but the is a very metal on metal pop that happens as the suspension cycles or shifts enough. I have sat outside of it while my wife has moved it in the yard and you can audibly tell it’s coming from the...
  12. Popping from underneath as suspension cycles?

    Unfortunately it’s not the links. The noise clearly comes from the skid plate area.
  13. Popping from underneath as suspension cycles?

    When the suspension flexes a little bit on my gladiator there’s popping coming from underneath. I notice it most when driving in town and making certain turns that get the body to roll over some. It’s like a creek/pop sound. I had my wife drive it in the yard as there’s a spot where yo can flex...
  14. Can I improve the steering/driving experience any more?

    I’ve noticed that at highway speeds I don’t feel it really at all which I assume is because such highways are built much better than in town or country roads. Less frost heaving and uneven surfaces. I’ve also noticed that it’s better with my utility trailer behind the jeep even if it’s empty...
  15. Can I improve the steering/driving experience any more?

    I don’t have a rear track bar now control arms are all new.
  16. Can I improve the steering/driving experience any more?

    It didn’t help over the previous shocks I had.
  17. Can I improve the steering/driving experience any more?

    I’m running bilstein 5100’s.
  18. Can I improve the steering/driving experience any more?

    better as in more compliant and planted on road. None of the feeling that the suspension is moving around underneath me.
