I put a Next Venture Motorsports smooth belly plate system on my Rubicon. Now I have a whole bunch of stock steel plates and crossmembers on my porch and want to figure out what to do with them Do all Gladiators come with the same fuel tank, exhaust, and transfer case skids as the Rubicon...

I have in my notes: 1.5” for lowers, 1 11/16” for lowers, and 1.275” for track bars. I just got a giant adjustable wrench ?

I have the 300P and a ton of experience using it. Got it for a previous truck with much smaller tires, but I’ve been using it to inflate two 37s at a time on my gladiator, and it does just fine. 37s are way over its “rated” capacity but since I already had it, I figured I’ll just run with it...

Metalcloak here, and I had to grind down some welds on the axle side for it to fit

Not much to add here, it’s hard and it sucks. I would also advise anyone that has to do it once, get the extension cables so you never have to do it twice. One interesting thing: if you plan to have your front left speaker pod out (the 4” midbass in the knee panel), the security module you’re...

Maxtrax makes quick-release mounting pins that would work great for this. There’s an eccentric cam in tough nylon plastic that fits through a particular slot in the maxtrax board, you turn the cam a quarter turn, and lock it in place. https://maxtraxus.com/products/maxtrax-mkii-mounting-pins...

It’ll probably overflow a bit once it gets good and hot, if you really overfilled it. No big deal. Slightly too much, probably don’t need to bother removing any

Anyhoo… go to Silverton CO in summer and just about every vehicle you see is a jeep with Texas plates. So there’s one place

Check engine light. Tazer doesn’t require a laptop to use, you click special combos on the steering wheel (as above). You do need a computer and USB cable to update it, should you ever want to

Yeah I get more than $6/mo worth of utility out of it. No one should pay book rate Anyway there is an antenna you can unplug, but it’s a bit of an ordeal to get to the plug (I relocated mine after a camper install)

(why not)

YIKES! One thing this forum can do to help here - go out to your Gladiator, pull the rear belts all the way out, and look for anything similar. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a few here. This kind of thing has recall written all over it IMHO. (I’d be the first to volunteer if I weren’t...

361 amps on my 10k Evo. The link doesn’t have detailed specs, but I’d assume any winch pull over 200 amps would pop it. That would not work for me. 8k might have the same amperage, just a different gear set inside.

Or order your own pitch and thread gauges from wherever (Amazon etc) and make someone else do the 3-hour round trip drive for that part first. Doesn’t sound like this can’t wait a few days to figure out the exact right part

OK, for former mechanical engineers like myself this is a pretty easy problem to solve, but it’s understandably frustrating for everyone else Every Lowe’s and Home Depot and Ace Hardware in the world have thread gauges hanging around their hardware department. You just need to take the correct...

I have a manual switch on my winch, so there’s no live power running to the front bumper until needed. Given how jumpers are used (parked) and how I use my winch (very low likelihood of a high-speed front-end collision, lol), I don’t see a problem. I would probably have a blanking plug, just...

+1 tazer, but what is this super secret button code?

Any chance this would be covered by the ZE2 recall? https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10236892-9999.pdf

The biggest Anderson connector they make would work… I think that’s the grey SB175 connector? Get the genuine Anderson hardware, not an Amazon clone. The parts themselves aren’t expensive. The proper hydraulic crimper to attach the wires might be (mine was). Might be able to take the cables...

I wish people would read the post, not just the topic… “Have dually for towing.” OP, 95% odds you’ll be just fine with stock axles for the use you describe. I’ve been very happy with a heavy overlanding/camping build on 3.73s, including long road trips, crawling, high speed washboards, low...
