  1. Rugged Ridge Max Terrain Flares for Gladiator JT install/review.

    So this is the situation with these flares, they are not flat relative to the body, the have a downwards slope to them, a bit more than the factory flares, however the ARE flat when viewed from the sides. I have set tools down on them before, but if it's anything round like a screwdriver, it can...
  2. Rugged Ridge Max Terrain Flares for Gladiator JT install/review.

    Once I noticed the first post cracking, I was worried that there wouldn't be enough material for the screw to bite onto if I drilled a slightly larger pilot hole. On the remaining screws I took it VERY slow, and still cracked one more. It would be nice if they could come up with a revision that...
  3. Rugged Ridge Max Terrain Flares for Gladiator JT install/review.

    Made a small update to the original post above, but I will also note it here as I forgot to mention this during my initial write up. *When tightening up the lights to the provided light support brackets, be VERY CAREFUL with how tight you put the mounting screws. Rugged Ridge, in their...
  4. Rugged Ridge Max Terrain Flares for Gladiator JT install/review.

    Thanks, yeah I was actually leaning towards Bushwacker as I liked the angle the backet was cut to the fenders, however now that I've lived with them for a month, I think I like the cleaner look of Rugged Ridge, no extra manufacturing logos. They're both made by Truck hero anyways, plus the $100...
  5. Rear track bar options for 37's

    From a quick look on google, it looks like most of them just raise the rear track bar higher up so that the geometry is the same as before you lifted the truck. While it will fix my roll center, the problem that I'm having with the spare fitment is that the bar is just too close to the spare in...
  6. Rear track bar options for 37's

    Exactly what I should have done from the get go. Don't know why I waited, I knew the Yoko's ran a bit larger than the BFG's, which were my second choice. Now that it's more likely that I'll need to shell out for another alignment, I'm trying to get a feel on if there's anything else I can look...
  7. Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

    Ready lift 2.5 inch lift kit Fuel Ammo's in Matte Bronze, +1 offset, 5.04 inch backspacing. Yokohama Geolanders, 37x12.50x17
  8. Rear track bar options for 37's

    Hi guys, So after some digging in the forums, I decided to try my luck and see if the 37' Yokohama Geolander's would fit in the stock location. Well after getting the tire mounted and aired at 15 psi, I'm not quite sure that is the case. This is my current situation, I want to say this is less...
  9. Unpopular Opinion? Aluminum/Metal Inner Fenders -> Stupid?

    No problem, a word of advice though, I would stay away from Paramount's REAR plastic liners, I had bought a matching set before to pair them with the Max Terrain flares, only to find out that the molding for the rear fenders actually rubbed WORSE than the OEM ones they replaced! They did an...
  10. Unpopular Opinion? Aluminum/Metal Inner Fenders -> Stupid?

    Not a fan of metal liners because of the unnecessary cost, weight gain, and they tend to rattle. Also I'm paranoid that if they rattled loose at speed you now have a giant metal shard that will go straight through any tire. At any rate, I had to switch from the OEM liners to something...
  11. When you think Side Steps Keep You Ding Free

    Even when you think you're safe you're really not, my brother, who I LOVE DEARLY* went and gave me my first bad ding just below the filler neck. I get to stare at it every time I fill up now. Worst part was I was in the truck when it happened, I was on speaker phone (so I knew my brother...
  12. American Adventure Labs Overhead Molle Shelf

    Those large holes are meant for the soft top, they support the railing system, so things that use or cover those holes are incompatible.
  13. Bed Chop / DIY Bumper

    Very nice! You thinking of making matching rock sliders/guards for the rocker panels? You could line them up with the rear angled corners of your bumper for a clean look.
  14. Tell us your Jeep flip story. Rolls also accepted.

    While I'm lucky enough to not have rolled my Jeep, had more than a few close calls riding shotgun with my old man. Just a little too much camber, a bump, and our 98 Dakota was on it's driver side wheels. Luckily my dad had the sense to turn towards the direction we rolling and I just slammed...
  15. Death wobble or death from uhaul

    Yup, recently had this experience. My family was heading up to MOAB for summer, my Jeep, my old man's JTR, and my sisters JKU. Well halfway between Truth or Consequences and Albuquerque, the JK's torque converter decided that it didn't want to be a torque converter anymore, and it went out. Had...
  16. Rugged Ridge Max Terrain Flares for Gladiator JT install/review.

    Yeah, honestly I was only negative about the Allen heads because I nicked myself when I stripped the bolt, and it was a pain to get it out of the fender, there really wasn't anything wrong with them. Stripped bolts just suck in general. As for the price, it looks like these are normally $800...
  17. thanks homie...

    Glad you're feeling ok, although I would keep an eye out for any lingering effects, got slammed into at only 10 mph at a stop sign once and felt fine, my neck disagreed the next day, and I was 21 when that happened. Sucks that garbage people are a danger to others instead of just themselves. I...
  18. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Made room for the 37's with Rugged Ridge's Max Terrain flares, very happy with the look!
  19. Rugged Ridge Max Terrain Flares for Gladiator JT install/review.

    TLDR: Would recommend, rated 8.5/10. Some minor gripes about missing/non-preferred hardware, minor fit/ finish/assembly issues. Doing a write up on the Max Terrain flares for the Gladiator as it looks like they've become available since I last checked in March. Just a general walk through/log...
