Didn't get to camp this weekend, but I did get to check out the lower roads in my backyard... lower roads had less snow than normal this year...High country still buried. We were alone... so no deep snow or mud stuff... just cheacking out to see what is open for camping for the next couple of...
I've noticed a couple of lift manufactures and shock designers for the gladiator move the shocks outward on both the top and the bottom mounts. what would be the advantage of moving them 2 to 3 inches out on each side? Many lift kits and shocks have no relocation mounts... any suspension gurus...
I'm thinking this winter to update all 8 control arms.
Any good or bad experiences with any brand you would like to share?
I have looked at Metal Cloak, things with Johnny joints, Clayton girro joints....
On my jk I had a lot of maintance and replaceing joint ends on the control arms. I had...
I had a request for a "walk-around" and so here it is. I just point out my modifications, and and what my overlanding set up is. I also show how quick it can be loaded up or removed. I still missed some things... like the synergy ball joints... rock lights... but I really did list most...
I have been given the next 30 days off... starting the 15th. We are going to go through Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, California, Oregon, Idaho, and back to Montana. We will hit lots of remote camping, a few motels or cabins, a few campgrounds, and a few nights with realitives along the way.

This is a self made option to strengthen those various brads of side steps, etc... that mount to the pinch seam. Makes them much stronger and prevents bending the pinch seam near mounting points.
This was the shakedown trip for the Gladiator in its new configuration! ARB lockers, 37 inch tires, new skids, 488 gears... and we used the topper and a tarp as a bed tent for a couple of days.
2 Ghost towns, 5 trails, drove under a mountain for a mile in a tunnel filled with water... Great...
I have 4:10 ring and pinions for a 2020 max tow sport.... front and rear. $60 for the two sets together and you pay shipping! (need lower gears?)
I also have the open diffs... Free and you pay shipping.
I have the MAX TOW rear axle shafts that will no long work in my JT since I went to 35...
You have that right... If you have a sport without the larger (taller) max tow springs, and would like to clear 33's and have the front lifted 1 inch with a tera flex spacer...and bump stop- and if you want the rubicon fox shocks... I have all of this for sale for $150... and you pay shipping! 4...
