let the man brag a bit! thats what the taking the jeep tops off are all about. On a serious note, it might be worth paying for the hour just to see if they can do it. If they can, you know its something you are doing wrong, although i cant for the life of me think of what that could be. The...

yea once i dropped a quarter into a public toilet. I threw a 20 dollar bill in after it and then pulled them both out. The guy next to me asked why in the hell i threw in that 20 dollar bill. I told him no way am i going to put my hand in the toilet for a quarter.

There is an age cutoff in most states, so if you use a 20 or 25 year old car, you can pretty much do what you want. On newer cars if you can get the OBD2 system to report back with no codes, most inspectors wont know enough about it to fail the car just because of the swap (people use sensor...

yea 2.75 is a big difference, mine was like 1.75. I wouldnt have thought just the bumper would make that much difference without a winch on it. I actually think it looks pretty good with a very slight rake, so if you went up 1.5 inches you wouldnt have to swap out any of the pricey stuff and it...

for just an inch i dont even know that you have to do the shock extension. i mean you might as well, you have to unbolt the shock anyway to get the springs out. I needed a bit more room for the larger tires(35), but if you are going with tires 33 inches or smaller 1 inch will get you a very nice...

I am using the daystar 1.5 inch, and it did level out the truck pretty much perfectly if you measure the distance from the tire to the fender opening. However i also think i might add the .75 to the back of the truck at a later date, i just want a small amount of rake back in the truck. I...

i installed the full set all at once, so i cant speak to whether the side panels do much on their own. I dont find them to be unattractive installed, they really look stock just like the roof panels. i mean i love the truck, dont get me wrong, but the fiberglass roof is probably the cheapest...

another vote for the hotheads. The install is super easy and they take the edge off the wind noise. even with the hotheads it feels like to me that the wind noise on the roof/upper body dominates over any road noise, and i have the bfg 35x12.5 ko2's. I can hear the tires now that i have the...

well i wouldnt worry about the warranty, since if you have a problem you can just unbolt them and remove them. No one has to know. but what are you using them for? is it just the aesthetics of a wider stance? I dont know how much they cost but it seems like just getting bigger tires would do a...

Oh man do i miss the 36 gallon gas tank from my F-150. But that is really it. The F-150 was quieter on the road, but that doesnt really matter to me as it turns out.

damn that is terrifying. I was watching him go up and thinking go wider, go wider, but he didnt look like he was that far off a decent line. But he turned the steering wheel the wrong way when he started to roll backwards. But i could definitely see myself making that mistake trying to keep the...

have you tried driving the jeep back to back against a relatively new F-150 or Tacoma? I love my jeep but there is a noticeable dead spot in the jeeps steering feedback around top dead center that takes a little getting used to. And i test drove half a dozen gladiators, they all drove identical...

mine had 50. it was the showroom floor model. I was really put off by the first two dealerships who wouldnt let me test drive it more than a mile or so. So i cant really complain that this one had 50 miles on it. But i bought mine back when the dealers only had one or two each, so trying to...

Thats a really nice bumper/winch light setup, can you tell us which parts they are?

I think the tires may have a significant impact on mileage. I am getting around 16 on mixed highway and city miles, which is a little worse than most folks who are reporting mileage. The gearing seems fine, I am sure the truck accelerates a little bit slower, but the truck drives and handles...

i havent changed it out, i think its the stock overland running board. if it isnt then the dealer replaced it and didnt charge me, which seems unlikely, but they did change out the tires before i got it as well, and of course i did pay for the tires at a +20% of what tire rack pays. oh well.

overland with 35 inch tires, recalled spedo, i dont even have the 4.11's, and its fine. It doesnt like 8th much, the slightest hill at ~65-70 and it shifts back down into 7th, but i think thats what it is supposed to do. i test drove a jk many years ago and found the acceleration to be...

Yea, here is a side profile of the car and a closer shot of the front wheel. Those falkens look like a good deal at 212. I do love the way these BFG's look through, the mud tire just looks mean. But i bet i would be happier with the actual driving manners of those falkens. Most of the...

man they are never going to let you rent another gladiator.

no, its all stock. I have not tried any serious offroading with maximum articulation, and i suspect if i do i could rub a fender. But in normal operation there is plenty of clearance. I am thinking about getting the 2.5 inch rough country lift for the front. All i think i really need is a one...
