Here are a couple more pictures of how the mounting for the sliders were used. Please don't mind the welds, I'm very new, and do this as a hobby; there is a lot of splatter that could be avoided if I was to weld with gas. I bought a welder specifically to try projects on the JT. This first...

Been awhile since I've checked the forums, I'm glad someone was looking around. I bought the materials at a local metal vendor, square tubing and some round tubing. The square was 2" .120 wall, the round tubing was 1-3/4" .120 wall. I used a harbor freight pipe bender, and went really slow...

Finally using the parts on my build so I figured I would post. When I got the Gladiator from the dealer, the 2" Mopar lift was installed, with 37" tires. From there I added a few things that I knew I wanted to have as similar from my JKU. I didn't like any of the mirror solutions for when...

Personally I haven't seen the "need" for anything else on my JT; I "want" to get a front adjustable track bar to help correct how much of the tire shows on left/right. I have a 2" Mopar lift with 37" tires and have never experienced steering issues, that's with 2500 miles. When I left the...

I have not tried this specific product, but I have a similar setup on my JT. Any hose rated for higher than your tires air will work, and those quick push-in-connectors work really well. This system will "permanently" install the hoses, and then have 4 quick hook ups from each corner to the...

I think you could still get the cargo system in there; get longer bolts, and put the cargo system over the bed rack lip. If the Mopar doesn't work, I wonder if L-track would work (it's narrower).

Yes, any weight added to the vehicle will take away from payload. I had to weigh my vehicle for registration, it came in just shy of 5200lbs. I had the dealer install the Mopar lift and 37" tires; that's on a rubicon. I also had an aftermarket tonneau cover on the bed at the time it was...

I have a family of 6 that I overland with (my wife does drive her TJ, but only carries a passenger and that Jeeps recovery gear). Just started a club meetup with the express intent of discussing non-solo overlanding. My solution to the payload with my JKU was to buy a trailer, because it...

I'm still only halfway through with my Gladiator air compressor build. In my JKU I had the compressor sitting under the passenger front seat (wouldn't you know that only 1 year the 2007 was different than all the others, and the driver side seat had the wire loom under it); and my single hose...

I used the same place for the twin ARB compressor; I did have to take out the scissor jack. I'll find another place for that. The hardest part of the install was running the wire loom through the firewall. The compressor works great and it's easily accessible under the seat, while still being...

I'm interested in hearing your Experience with the 10k winch. I currently have a 12k Engo on my JKU, and was going to go with another Engo, but the Rugged Ridge has the IP 68 rating and wireless controller along with slightly more HP. If I get another winch, it will be the 12k model, partly...

I hope this comes across in the nicest way possible; but I want to mention that you should only be changing the options in the tuner to reflect what is actually on the vehicle. Changing gear ratio up or down will not be good for the vehicle, and I imagine would perform subpar. If you have 4.10...

I just had 37" Ridge Grapplers put on stock Rubicon wheels (2" Mopar lift). For most driving the tires work great, I do get slight rubbing when cranking the steering all the way. I haven't been able to wheel on them yet. I will manage the rub by not taking sharp turns when I can avoid it; this...

I had the dealer do the tires, and I didn't hear that they had any issues with balancing. What they were concerned with was fitting a 37 as the spare, but they got it in without having to lower the pressure. Dealer put the tires to 35 cold; while driving even short distances the dash reads at...

If I remember you are up in Washington, I'm in CA. But....twin Jeeps are always awesome.

Installed the Rugged Ridge hard folding cover last night. I did NOT use the Mopar trail rails, instead I installed L-tracks on the sides. Install went ok, but I'm slightly disappointed with how wide the tailgate end was after installing. I had to adjust the rails in quite a bit in order to get...

Got my Gladiator on Monday and drove all night home. Here are a few pictures of rugged ridge hard rolling tonneau cover and stubby front bumper. Truck has Mopar 2" lift, with 37" tires on stock rubicon wheels.

The Rubicon/Max Tow axles are wider by 1.5" (better stability for towing), they are supposed to have thicker tubes (less prone to bend). I'm not sure if there are more.

First view of my Punk'n. Picking it up on Monday. I'm having 37s and the Mopar lift installed.
