  1. Grinding/Hum noise coming from Front (Axle?)

    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...
  2. Mopar Performance Rock rail guys

    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 .
  3. Requesting first hand experience please

    Thanks ! The pros and trail graps are not loud to me . Are the KM3 louder?
  4. Requesting first hand experience please

    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...
  5. guys with 2.5" and 3.5" lifts

    This is 2.75" f and .75" r with 37x12.50 stt pro . I'd say 2.5 is ideal for your concept.
  6. Grinding/Hum noise coming from Front (Axle?)

    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...
  7. Gladiator bumpers and winch options?

    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 .
  8. LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

    I watched the video . It's about using the rear locker in 4h not 2h . Which in my truck worked as the video described .
  9. LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

    I thought this to be true . Figured the lsd portion was probably underwhelming.
  10. LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

    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.
  11. LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

    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 ?
  12. LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

    Am I missing something ? Nothing about 2wd high mentioned .
  13. LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

    I'm going to give it a crack. Thanks
  14. LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

    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...
  15. Help a brother out I came from a zr2

    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...
  16. Maybe it's just me, but this should have been the Wagoneer...

    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...
  17. Should I wait?

    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...
  18. 37 inch tires Warranty Warning.

    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...
  19. 37 inch tires Warranty Warning.

    This is exactly what I'm trying to convey. They hold all the cards .
  20. 37 inch tires Warranty Warning.

    That's absolutely the opposite of what I'm saying.
