My guy was in SoCal for this tube rack build. Follow the above links to my build thread for more insights on this rack.

Thanks @Jimmy07 for providing the insights on the RG174 to RG58 cable for extended lengths and the link to the exact wire! Much appreciated!

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! All the lights are now working properly. There were two issues: 1) Incorrect electrical signals. The Jeep brake and turn signal are carried by 1 wire on each side. Per the advice of @jac04, I used the Curt Converter #56196 to split the brake/turn signal wire into two...

Thanks @korisu56. No rubbing with the tires at full lock, and I’m fairly certain the bump stops were not adjusted by the overland shop that installed the tires. I’ve been running 35x12.5s for 40k miles with zero clearance issues on a Rubicon suspension prior to the 37x12.5s. Combined with the...

***South Charlotte area*** No, I will not ship. Jeep Gladiator Rubicon rear steel bumper. Removed from my Tow Pkg equipped Gladiator. Used but in very good condition. Only a couple of minor scratches that could be touched up (not trail or off-road beat up). What’s included: - OEM...

@tysongladiator @ShadowsPapa @jac04 Thank you! It’s likely my Jeep’s LED taillights are the issue. The adapter that @jac04 linked to…when you look it up on Amazon…in the reviews it shows someone with a similar Kaymar swing out bumper on a LandCruiser that was having the same issue...

@Mr._Bill gotcha. Round Factory harness plugs into Curt and Curt plugs into connector on backside of bumper with extra wires hanging down that could be spliced into… However, the clearance up in the Kaymar bumper is tight for the factory round plug alone. So two hard plastic plugs connected...

Thanks @Mr. Bill. I’d need to cut one end off the Curt harness and determine still which Curt wire to connect to the Kaymar wires. And this is essentially what I’m already doing but with the Jeep harness wires. Either I don’t have something wired right or perhaps I popped the F90 20 amp fuse...

My Gladiator is a 2020 model year. I’m attempting to connect extra lights on my (new to me) Kaymar rear bumper. It has a pair of combo lights, each with a stop / turn / reverse / running light circuit on a separate standalone wire. So, 1 wire for each bulb plus a ground wire - a total of 5...

It looks like I now will need to address weight… The CAT scales indicate 6,920# with a full tank of fuel, 2 people, topper, cabinets, camping gear, partially full refrigerator, and a load of groceries. Removing people and unnecessary items, my new baseline weight is 6,599#. And that weight is...

My ability to locate pre-owned gently used Gladiator parts comes through yet again. Bought a pre-owned Kaymar dual swing out rear bumper. It is a direct bolt-on. Definitely thicker gauge steel vs. the factory Rubicon rear steel bumper. Replicates the rear Rubicon bed slider protection too...

Thanks again @Rusty PW. I’ll do a writeup on mine so others have the benefit of my experience too. Last week, I installed a set of Kenda MT2s size 37 x 12.5 R17 on stock Gladiator Rubicon 17 x 7.5 wheels. Because the 12.5 Kendas spec for an 8” rim (many 12.5 tires spec for a 8.5 rim), I...

Now rolling on a set of Kenda Klever M/T2 tires size 37” x 12.5” on the OEM Rubicon 17” wheels. The tires sit just flush with the outer edges of the fenders. They almost appear narrower than my former 35” x 12.5” Falken Wildpeak M/Ts, but are a full 2” taller and weigh virtually the same. For...

Alright, I’m finally done installing the entire AEV JK bumper, winch plate, skid plate, and recovery hooks…with a Warn winch! A former forum member @ArcaneJohnWayne sent me this photo showing how he used angle steel to create the skid plate cross-support: In addition to taking this approach...

Thanks @Rusty PW! Great summary. Just placed an order for a set of five. Got 40K out of my Falken MT 35s (prob still had another 5k left to go) and looking forward to stepping up to the 37s. Good advice on the 4K rotation plus with the 5th Kenda M/T2 tire they hopefully will last a long...

Thanks @ourjeeps for posting this info. Exactly why I come to the forum to research and get insights from other owners. No Kenda issues on my side, but I just bought a set of Kenda M/T2s and will file this away in case I need the info one day.

Any update on these Kenda Klever M/T2 37s ? Holding up well? Quiet? Punctures?

Timing on this thread is great! On a recent offroad trip another 4x4 was running Kenda Klevers M/T2s and they looked and performed well in the sand. Glad to see a few here on this thread and others have had positive experiences with Kenda. My current Falken Wilpeak MTs size 35x12.5R17 have...

@SRFRAT67 are there any markings or #s on the back of your wheels that identify them as the -12 offset / 4.5” backspace wheels? I’m looking to buy a used set of the same wheels but the owner didn’t know if they have those wheels or the 0 offset / 4.72” backspace wheels. Thanks in advance!

A few more camping photos… Great location but the Park Ranger felt we were too close to the dunes. :/ Nice amount of shade with the Eezi Awn awning but you have to be prepared to move the truck periodically to ensure we maintain shade. Maybe that spare tractor work light I had laying...
