  1. Door Adjust - Dealer Cannot Get me in Until May!!

    Hi all. My 2021 Willys has had this noise coming from the driver's side door since last year. It clunks from the door striker area on rough roads and I can see when I open the door that it drops down ever so slightly (a couple of mm's). The door appears to be aligned with the rest of the body so...
  2. Michigan Hydro Grille Swap - Willys for Sport

    Does anyone want to trade a pristine Willys black grille for a pristine hydro blue grille? Located in Michigan. Long shot, but maybe someone wants to trade.
  3. Plus(+) 12mm or Minus(-) 12mm Offset for No-Rub

    Finally getting around to buying wheels for my 2021 Willys. Running a 2" spacer lift and 35x12 Grapplers. I currently have stock wheels and 1.75" wheel spacers and the wheels stick out quite a bit. But without the spacers, I rub the lower control arm at full lock. I want to get the RockTrix...
  4. Oil Capacity - This is Strange?

    On the 3.6L V6, how much oil goes in a 2021 JT? On my 2018 Rubicon JLU, I always used 5.7 quarts. I assumed that this was the same on my 2021 JT with the 3.6L V6 however, the owner's manual says "5-quarts" (picture below). I just changed the oil/filter and added 5-quarts of oil, then started it...
  5. Floor Jack for Lifted Jeeps

    When installing my lift and other tires on/off adventures in my suburban, middle-class garage, I quickly realized that my low-profile Harbor Freight floor jack was not up for the task. I'm up to three pieces of 2x4 to shim enough to get any lift on the frame. OSHA compliant? Not even close! I...
  6. Anyone Running Quadratec Rubicon Xtreme Wheels?

    I'm looking at these 17x9 wheels with 4.75" of backspacing from Qtec. Just curious if anyone here has these and if so, do you like them?
  7. Lower Control Arm Rubbin'

    Gotta 21 Willys with a 2" spacer lift and 315/70-17 (almost 35's) tires. When I put it all together I had 1 3/4" wheel spacers and had no rubbing anywhere. But, I'm not a huge fan of spacers and worried that they may break, so I took them off just to see if I could drive without them. Mostly no...
  8. First Tow: Wrangler vs. Gladiator

    Yesterday I towed my trail-toy for the first time with my Gladiator. It towed MUCH better than my Rubicon JLU did. When I added a small lift to put the bigger tires on the Gladiator, I wanted to keep the factory "rake" to help compensate for the weight when towing. SO happy that I did that. The...
  9. Glass Chip Under 1,000 Miles = Big Surprise (not) !

    Not bad...I made it 795 miles this time before my first stone chip! MOTHER F**KER!! Every single Wrangler and now I can add Gladiator to the list, gets a stone chip before I hit 1,000 miles!! It NEVER fails. The glass in these are complete JUNK and FCA from what I hear from friends who work...
  10. Michigan Sold: WTB: 68436812AA Rear Swaybar Links

    Looking for factory rear swaybar links part number 68436812AA. PM me if you have a set.
  11. Double-D Bouncing With Bigger Tires!

    I'm a guy...I generally like things that bounce, although sometimes a distraction when I'm driving and my passenger (wife) has a loose-fitting bra on. I learned a lesson recently and wanted to pass it on to anyone considering larger tires on stock width rims. I have a Willys with 7.5" wide...
  12. Bring Out Your Dead...

    Dead pedal - gimmick or can't live without one? Being this my 2nd "JL" ish vehicle (JLU and now the JT), I have been slightly bothered by the Grand Canyon adjacent to the brake pedal. It's a vast cavern with tumbleweeds and meerkats, all with its own ecosystem. Yesterday while meandering down...
  13. Rant on Buying a Torque Wrench: How Frustrating!

    There is simply too much information out there. All I wanted to do was buy a 20-250lbs. range, American-made, 1/2 drive torque wrench. Down....down....down the rabbit hole I went. YouTube, Amazon, Google, various forums. Hours of reading, getting to the point where one seemed like a great...
  14. Willys Grill Color Killing Me!!

    I tried for the last few weeks to just "get over it" but every time I walk by, it's like Austin Powers trying not to look at that mole! The grille and 3/4 of the "surround (called out in red arrows) are black. The natural line coming down from the hood is body color. You want than same line on...
  15. Noise After Lift

    I’m a pain in the a$$ this weekend with asking y’all for help. Sorry. I installed an Iron Rock 2” spacer lift. Had some trouble with the rear springs, but eventually got it. I torqued everything down (hopefully) and took for a test drive. Was quite at first then I noticed a light metallic sound...
  16. Lift Help: Rear Axle...

    I bought the Iron Rock 2” spacer lift. Just to run some 35”s, make it look at bit more respectable. I got the front on with minimal issues. Then I went to the rear. No matter what I do, I cannot drop the axle low enough to get the spacers in!! Shocks are unbolted. Sway bar is disconnected. Brake...
  17. Cooper STT vs. Ridge Grappler Weight

    It could be that I finally narrowed it down. Although these two tires are different in their usage profile, I have found on YouTube and other Jeep forums that these two tires are often compared. For me, it comes down to weight; my JT has 3:73 gears, that's not going to change anytime soon, but...
  18. Merica!

    Added some bald Eagle today!
  19. White Lettered Tires

    I'm a fan. I have been into Jeeps and off-roading for the last 25+ years and it seems that most people hate white lettering on their tires. What about you? Post some pictures if you have some on your Glad8tor.
  20. Let's See Your Personalized Plates

    This is currently on my Rubicon but will be swapped to my JT when it comes in.
