  1. Jack Discussions Here

    They caught my eye, but I didn't give them a good look due to the price. After functionality, my main two goals were to limit space & spending. But, maybe I could spend $500 on a nice "scooter" for my kids ... but then take it off-roading with me. :idea: Edit: Thinking about this a bit...

    Not really. It all depends on the height of the sidewall on the new tire going on the vehicle. If the rim was basically sitting on the ground due to a blow out, the change in axle height needs to be greater than the height of the sidewall of the replacement tire in order to get the new tire...

    I was hoping to narrow my purchase down to a single jack. I'm realizing a lot is based on a mixture of personal preference, individual experiences (positive and negative), and personal wheeling/terrain tendencies. I have a winch, snatch block, tow strap, and knock-off maxtrax for...

    I almost bought the unijack initially when I saw that 21" number. But, the 21" includes the initial height (11") + threaded cap extended (3.75") + actual piston travel (6.25"). The initial height and the cap affect the vertical 'reach' of the jack, but not the change in height. The change in...

    I do like the concept. But, it seems like actual travel on these is 6.25". Given a flat 37" tire on 17" rims, I'm thinking I will need over 10" of travel to raise the axle enough to get a spare put on. Am I thinking about this wrong?

    The goal is a universal set-up to cover my bases while remaining as minimal as possible regarding space & cost. In my garage I've needed to jack from the axle at times as well as from the frame depending on what work I was doing (always using wheel chocks and jack stands). I have only been...
  7. HYDRO BLUE PEARL Gladiator JT Club

    Despite asking for input on accent colors, I chickened out and just went with black here and there. Sorry for the delayed post. Here are a few pics of the "Beast".

    I could use some input on a jack ... I've had my JT for 3wks. In addition to a slew of mods, I'm equipping it with a tool set, medical kit, and recovery gear. I'm still on the fence regarding a jack. The factory scissor jack is SCARY! Adding the Mopar 2" lift in my flat garage, the scissor...
  9. The BEAST

    A buddy came over yesterday to give me a hand with my Mopar 2" lift. Within that install I added a 0.75" Daystar spacer to the front, and also installed my JKS quicker disconnect swaybar links. I left a slight rake intentionally. I want to get closer to level and still prevent that saggy back...
  10. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Converted rear crossbar on Rebel XPLOR rack into a quick release with 4 x 5" bolts & wing nuts ... so that I can use my Demon tailgate pad to transport up to 5 mountain bikes. Time to hit the trails!
  11. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Do you have a link for that hitch mount for a RTT? That's EXACTLY the solution a buddy of mine needs for his JLU!
  12. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I leveled my JT ... by loading the bed with all of the contents of my daughter's college dorm! ... loveseat - pullout bed, microwave, 2 sets of shelves, school supplies, lamp, dirty clothes, clean clothes, dirty clothes, dirty clothes.
  13. XPLOR Jeep Gladiator Half Bed Rack

    Great video! I enjoyed the stories, travel tips, and equipment overview. I just installed your full rack along with the Access literider tonneau. I like the set-up. The rack looks good, is heavy duty, and modular. However, I need some advice. I need to open the rear crossbar channel an 1/8...
  14. The BEAST

    I just have the 12v outlet to wire once it arrives, and the Mopar lift to install this Saturday. Amazon keeps postponing the delivery of my bed power parts because they aren't "essential items". Maybe I should've ordered hand sanitizer with them haha.
  15. The BEAST

    Big day today! I finished a few installs ... bed rack & tonneau cover, dash phone mount, and I also swapped the wheels/tires with my JLU. In order to transport my mtn bikes on the tailgate, I need to be able to remove the bed rack's rear crossbar. So, I replaced the sets of bolts on both...
  16. The BEAST

    I mounted the skid plate rather than returning it. I really like both the bumper & the skid. I just don't like that they leave a 3" gap. Since EAG doesn't make a skid that will cooperate with their bumper, I decided to keep both & just cover the gap with a piece of sheet metal, screw it to...
  17. Total Topless Hack (For Soft Top)

    Have you found a cover yet? One that will protect the Bedliner from the soft top's frame, and protect the Soft Top from the abrasive bedliner? I'm thinking a tarp with eyelets and a pair of cheap caribiners might work. The Soft Top can be laid on the tarp in the bed, then the tarp can wrap...

    Front skid plate is being returned to EAG. Just received an email back from them. Apparently they don't make a front skid that fits a Gladiator and is compatible with their bumper. :angry: I spooled my winch line under tension ... which also verified that my Aux 3 through solenoid to winch...
  19. Do you think this will work? BED POWER!

    I just removed mine last night. I went around it a few times with a utility knife. The bedliner was thicker on top than the bottom. Once it was cut through, I could get the cap to move a bit. But, it was a little harder to get out than others suggested. The cap is molded plastic ...

    Bummer! Sorry to hear that. But thanks for letting the rest of us know!
