It's as simple as changing out the passenger side axle shaft assembly. Once you pull the inner( short side of the 2 pc set) the bushing is pressed into it . You will want a soft dead blow , some scrap wood blocks and brass angled punch . The punch to basically shear the composite bushing and...
I had the rubi rails and upgraded to the Mopar enhanced rock rails that I also got for a bargain . They are pretty nice . A small ledge step , good coating . Seem stout for a body mounted rail. I wouldn't pay new prices , but the second hand pricing is usually a bargain .
How are KM3s road and off-road ? In contrast to trail graps or stt pro?
I have ran recently on the JT 37x12.50 Stt Pro and they were really nice on the road . Great in the dirt .
Then went to 38x13.50 Trail Graps . Built tough and heavy . Power wise no difference . On the street they pull...
I would say almost certainly it's the composite pilot bushing at the intersection of the passenger side inner and outer axle shafts . It was probably not lubed properly when installed and went dry. It then starts to make all sorts of racket like you describe . Part is 22 bucks for 2 and like...
Fab fours stubby . Winch ready , built nice , coating is good , fit is excellent . It's a flat non recessed winch mount so it looks nice if you aren't running a winch also. It can be had for under 500 bucks shipped if you look around . I have one on our JLU also .
I believe it's a thing on all or at least some generations of the power wagon . I understand the complexity of said system , but if memory serves me PWs offered a helical lsd that was fully lockable . Of course this could be clever wording on behalf of dodge /ram for an abls /e locking diff.
To add to that, We have a JLU Willys and it doesn't feel any different than the gladiator Rubicon . Both on similar tire types . But different opinion I guess ?
On road , tires will make more of a difference than lockers or lsd. Off-road a locker is going to work better than an lsd .
Unless you use a work around , the rubi can't be locked in 2wd, 4wdh, only 4wdl. It's not like the zr2 unfortunately. Now I'm not saying an lsd isn't helping , and it is...
Coming from a zr2 in a couple different states of build , it's give and take . I was never blown away by the mm spool valve shocks or suspension spring rates . It was overly firm and dampened . I never ran a front sway bar , and never felt it was floaty. My gladiator is soft and floaty . I'm...
I think we all wish for a vehicle reboot to be provocative . Especially one with an established name . Unfortunately I feel like Jeep has missed the mark on the GW and dare I say the Gladiator . In regard to the the gladiator , it's not acceptable to release the truck without a model specific...
There are full m/t with really decent street manners and wear . But if I had to chose a safe tire, the Baja boss A/t checks all boxes . It is also fairly heavy too. Since it's not an option tho , the Nitto Ridge grappler is a solid choice . I really liked them when I was running them . There is...
Take this scenario a step further and look at diff , t case , or trans issues . Now we are talking $$ some of which there isn't a great aftermarket work around . You do have to assume risk when modding things . And the argument for whether or not the root cause was faulty equipment or your mods...
