I had my clutch replaced a little over a month ago by a shop down here in Charlotte. Currently running 4.10's with 37s. Just got back from a long roadtrip to see family for the holiday, about 9 hours each way. I can say that on East Coast highways up to NY, I could easily cruise around 80mph in...
Let me know how you like the 5.13s once you get them in. I'm on the fence about what I want to do. My rig is pretty lightweight comparatively. I have BFG 37s, regularly cruise on the highway at 80mph and I do like the idea of having some better acceleration from a standstill. Always curious to...
Was ready to finally upgrade the the clutch in my JTR and a local shop said they would only install CenterForce so thats what I went with. I'm about 1000 miles on the new clutch so far. Engagement is definitely a ton better removing some of the vagueness that the stock clutch had. Its a bit...
Just had a new CenterForce clutch installed last week and now about 400 miles into my break in. Unfortunately the master cylinder that came with the kit was defective so although my Jeep is driveable, I'll need to go back in to get the new master cylinder installed. I can definitely feel it too...
I'd be interested in this also since I just moved to the Charlotte area. Currently researching clutch replacement costs but regear coming soon when I bump up to 37s.
Hey Everyone, wondering if anyone else has experienced this. About 6 months ago I upgraded the entire steering set up on my Rubicon. Yeti track bar, MetalCloak drag link, tie rod & steering stabilizer along with MetalCloak sway bar end links... Ever since I've noticed a rattle or clanking...
Thats great to know, thank you! I have a lift from Eibach and full steering kit from MetalCloak already in. My next projects are a new clutch and then a re-gear. Can't wait to get down there and explore a bit.
Hey Everyone! Relocating to the Lake Norman area July 1st and looking for recommendations on a good shop in the area to get some work done... Was just down in Huntersville-Mooresville area this past weekend to do some house-hunting and saw quite a few great looking Gladiators! Can't wait to get...
Hey Everyone, after 5 years in DE, I'll be heading back south to the Charlotte/Lake Norman area. In preparation for the move, I wanted to make sure I could line up a shop for when I have bigger projects I want to get done, i.e. clutch replacement, etc. Is anyone from this area and can recommend...
I went with a MetalCloak tie rod, Drag link and steering stabilizer with a Steersmarts Yeti trackbar... I've had the trackbar for over a year and just installed the tie rod and drag link and I felt like they solidified my steering substantially.
This may sound like a dumb idea but figure I'd ask... I have a small area of bubbling down by the edge of my hood, right under my Rubicon decal... Instead of waiting to get it repainted from the dealer, could i simply change the decal on my hood and do something that wraps around the edge of my...
If anyone had the guts to bring back something as authentically retro as that Cherokee concept, I'd be all over it! The beauty of original looks with the convenience of modern powertrains, no brainer!
The bad vibes around the clutch have me considering swapping to an aftermarket sooner rather than later. This is not a job I can do myself, would anyone be willing to share any estimates of cost for installation for such a job?
