  2. Installed a winch on my stock (plastic) Rubicon bumper - DIY writeup

    Lot of guys are figuring out how to use the plastic bumper with winches, I used a LOD winch plate that fits flush with front of frame horns seems real solid and powder coating was excellent, plus price was right at $149.00……Jack Ps: Rotating the clutch handle to rear let’s you keep bumper top...
  3. Bumper Analysis Paralysis! HELP!

    I think full width bumpers that cover the tire a bit might help MPG a bit ,stubby bumpers are better for hard core wheeling. Being a weight weenie is not a bad thing, a lot of guys put 200 plus pounds on front of Jeep when doing a winch and bumper, then they are putting spacers in to help...
  4. Anyone have experience using a Voswitch JL120 Lower Dash Switch Panel for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018-current and Gladiator 2020-current https://a.co/d/cNY9

I have mine hooked as on all the time versus...

    I have the Voswitch and love it ,the fuses are 30amp and all relays are 40amp, you should pull the fuse and put a much lower rating in there o protect what ever you are wiring to., as ShadowsPapa said.....Jack

  10. Mojave skid plate on Willy's Gladiator

    Like guys are saying sure it will fit, the rubicon and Mojave standard plastic bumpers come with same skid plate just different colors, and will fit any of the models with the couple brackets that are needed to mount them, the Steel bumper on rubicon, the skid bolts to the bumper. Did this mod...
  11. 22s on 37s on the beach?

    The ocean always seems to take the beach, they had to move the Cape Hatteras lighthouse pretty far to save it from falling into the ocean. Pretty impressive move on sand when you look at how tall and huge it is. The Delaware Cape Henolopen light house fell into the ocean, and some of the...
  12. 22s on 37s on the beach?

    Just be aware that sand is different ,a lot of people post that they did good on the beach, but in the pictures I can’t even see tire marks in the sand. Hatteras at places can eat your truck, Delaware has had a lot of stuck trucks this year. Your tires are not stretched on the rims I would air...

  15. Trying to think through front spring options

    Bill, just for snow plowing , is it just your place or are you going on the road and doing others? How about air bags in the front for plowing, only air up when you need to plow, and not sacrifice the smooth ride you have now. I never heard of air bags on front but why not, I ran them on my...
  16. Max Tow springs on Rubi?

    I put Max Tow rear springs on my Mojave as suggested by Chris (White Rabbit) they gave the rear a little more stiffness, but were shorter so I put in a Icon, aluminum 1 3/8” spacer as the springs were compressed a little by my RSI cap, I am very pleased with how it rides, still a smooth ride...

    Gave up on vendor sending me the Flatlink, and also found out the 1/2” pipe thimble Warn uses on this winch does not feed though the hauser they supplied, so one call to Factor 55, quick talk ,flat link and short drum fairlead was here in two days. Fairlead is of course much lighter then the...

  20. Overland Model, What do you think

    The Overland is fine for you, I started out getting one but decided to get the 4.10 axle ratio for towing and ended up by with a Mojave. I think the Overland with AT tires is a great choice, can be loaded up nice, try and get the selectrac auto transfer case if you can having AWD is a great...
