My truck came with the factory tow package and the receiver hitch. I don’t tow, have never towed with this truck, not planning to tow. Meanwhile I’m rock crawling more and more, and the departure angle was the biggest problem for me on my recent first trip on the Rubicon. I’ve been using a...

I dropped in new front axle ball joints, and RCV axles (the ones that that keep the FAD) this weekend. To remove the middle axle stub (from front diff to FAD) you have to remove the FAD fork and actuator. When I did, unlike the ~15 videos I watched of people installing RCVs on various JL/JTs...

These things that live behind the rear bulkhead cover panel in the cab: Anyone see any major downsides to replacing these 6"x6.5" openings with airtight metal panels? Reason being, I'm doing a house battery system with DC/DC converter and bulky LiFePo battery inside the cab behind the rear...

Got the Next Venture Motorsport skid plates on my JTRD, and ended up grinding the whole passenger side along the edge under the frame rail. You can see the edge of the aluminum plate is now beveled. That’s no big deal, but the stock bolts that stick out of the plate are getting really beat up...

Selling: Mopar locking underseat storage bin (6LT89TX7AC). Came stock on my Rubicon - lightly used for ~20k miles, removed as not compatible with my rear seat delete plan. I've already removed the two stock key cylinders matching my key (notice the empty holes in the photos - box latches...

I've got these Clayton adjustable front sway bar links on my Rubicon. Quality piece of gear AFAICT, properly adjusted so the bar ends are flat with my lift Problem is, the factory torque on the uppers is 69 ft-lbs. The aftermarket shanks are round, with no wrench flats on the stud that goes...

I put a Next Venture Motorsports smooth belly plate system on my Rubicon. Now I have a whole bunch of stock steel plates and crossmembers on my porch and want to figure out what to do with them Do all Gladiators come with the same fuel tank, exhaust, and transfer case skids as the Rubicon...

I'm installing a VHF/UHF radio under the driver's seat, but all the wiring I need (coax, power from an AUX circuit, mic extension) is on the passenger side. Not going to install on the psg side as the space is taken up by my under-seat air compressor. Plus I have a driver-side seat jacker and...

Haven't seen any discussion about this at all... At the 2024 Gladiator reveal event, they also showed a Addax pop-up Gladiator camper. Front page of their website: https://www.addaxoverland.com/ Looks like a $4000 stainless-steel camper shell with 80% side doors and rear liftgate, with some...

For sale: one pair of Metalcloak rear swaybar reinforcement brackets for the JT. Includes the correct sized nut and bolt. Run for only 6000 miles or so, no salty winter. I ended up replacing the stock swaybar entirely, so no need or use for these now. $60 shipped to the lower 48 Thanks for looking

Building out my trail tool kit... I was expecting SAE 12-point bolts on the axle and transfer case flanges based on other JL/JT posts I've seen. But my 2022 JTRD has got these strange quasi-triangular socket head bolts on both transfer case outputs, and the rear diff (front diff, oddly, has...

OK, kinda dumb name I know but my GF and I always have vehicle names. Between the week-long wandering trips we tend to do around CA/NV/AZ/MX, and me explaining to her about the somewhat wandering steering on a straight axle truck, it just kinda stuck. Anyway, let's do this. At this point this...

I started with a zippered canvas bag from home depot to carry a few tools. Added a tool here, a tool there; when I ran out of space I added a tool roll for wrenches. Now it's too heavy and too hoarder-y. How do you all organize your mobile tool kit? What's a reasonable upper limit on size...

I'm gearing up for recovery equipment install on my soon-arriving Gladiator. I'm making up a small logbook to go in the recovery bag with details, purchase dates, to keep track of number and condition of pulls, etc. Overkill, maybe - but in prepping my old truck for sale, I pulled off the...
