So far, I have not complaints about the petal commander. My brother-in-law has a JL and he drove my JT the other day and was like "my JL's a dog compared to this and it's go the same engine." I'm very pleased with it. As far as the 35's vs. the stock, I didn't notice a significant difference...
My 1st build too. Don't plan on replacing the fenders though. Pretty happy with the way it looks and rides as is. Next will be the tent. Thinking about a swing away spare tire bracket too, but so far I don't find any made specifically for the GT. I'll wait. I think lights are in the future...
I've been looking for a hardshell tend for my JT, but I've gone with a half height Artec Industries bed rack (nice rack, I like it but with no instructions on mounting it was a frustrating challenge to install). I've not found anything other than soft cover tents that will fit on it. I've...
They extend about an inch or so (haven't measured) beyond the fender, but I'm not doing anything extreme off road. I haven't been out lately with work and honey do's getting in the way. Hoping to get some time in the mountains in a week or two. I'll give an update then.
Good luck on your...
That is an ambitious list. I'll follow your thread and watch your build. I've wanted a hard cover tent, but it's a tough choice. I decided to go with a half height rack and took the T-cover off (stored in the garage for the time being). As a Launch Edition Bro, I'll share some photos of my...
Nice look. I still like my factory rails so I'm not going to replace them. But, yours are very cool. You photos are well done as well. I'll try to replicate them next time I take photos of mine.
Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Wayne
You know, I don't why the stock Ruby front bumper gets so little respect. It must have taken hundreds of hours to come up with a design they thought would appeal to most stewart Jeep enthusiast. I've decided it's just like everything else. Doesn't matter how good you make something, someone...
Nice build so far. I'm actually going to be looking for some land in Sedona in the Spring and/or summer. Maybe you'll see me driving around. I'm afraid I'm a geologist and we're just not all that accurate when it comes to the details you have recorded on your Ruby (sorry, Kassandra). I've...
Looking good. Those 37's look more like 35's. I didn't realize you could fit 37's on the stock LE wheels. I have 35's and a 2-inch lift and looks pretty similar to yours. I decided against 37's since I use the truck for everyday driving as well. I'll update my photos later today or tomorrow...
Yeah, I did the math on the LE, JT and decided it was the most cost effective since a built would cost more in the long run. But it was a difficult choice because of the initial price. You've put a lot of thought into it and going about it in a pragmatic way and it looks like you know what...
Your build logic is the same as mine though we may have different ideas of "well-rounded". I'll follow your feed to see what you've done. Grey was my choice initially but wasn't offered in the Launch Edition. In the end, I'm pretty happy with what I have. Building mine slow as I'm making...
Thanks, that's not my Ruby, just one that had what I decided to go with. Will build mine in a week or two and post photos when done. You're right about the bottom mounts. They I'll mount red d-ring shackles there.
Here's a couple of photos I have of my rig. I haven't taken the time to do a...
Nice! Thanks. Looked around a bit. Decided today to go with
Here's what I've decided to go with. Not my JT, but winch and hooks will be pretty much the same. Not lights or winch guard. The flatlink you recommended is by far superior to a hook, but I just don't know enough about it to make...
Adam,
I probably don't speak for all of the Jeep Gladiator community, so this is just my personal opinion. Your posts sounds like a pitch for after market accessories and parts rather than a sincere request for advise. Part of being a Jeep owner for me has to do with being independent. It...
