Like this mod a lot, but wonder if you have a photo or video you can share of the light they throw while turning at night. Do they really make much difference? Also, did you wire this up to an Aux switch to turn off and on at will?
Great story! I actually spent a few years in my early 20's as a driver trainer and used my first Jeep, a TJ, to teach students in. The students loved it, especially with the top down.
After I moved on from driver trainer to the IT world, I kept that TJ and went on my first Jeep Jamboree event...
I got an RC front driveshaft to avoid issues with the stock shaft hitting the cross bar under axle drop. Unfortunately when I needed 4WD for snow covered highways, the RC was noisy and vibrated so I had to spend extra and got a quality Yukon driveshaft which fixed the issues. Not a Ready Lift...
I did almost the exact same thing, except I just have the front camera playing on the dash camera screen or my iPhone. What I wish was possible is to play it through CarPlay somehow right on the radio screen!
@Geoarch thank you for the info. That is strange that the Uconnect updates wipe out the Taser settings, but at least it doesn't cause a crash or "blue screen of death" type situation. Hoping to install my taser this weekend.
Traded my 2020 launch edition Rubicon for a 2024 in a moment of weakness... I loved my 2020 and it was an amazing Jeep, very few problems, fixed under warranty. Hoping the new one works just as good.
Some things to think about.
The new larger screen is awesome, but not being able to split...
I see you have a 2024.
I recently traded my 2020 for a 2024 but haven't installed the Taser in the new Jeep yet. I've been worried their might be some issues with the updated Uconnect system and the Taser.
Other than having to re-program your tire size and pressure, after the Uconnect...
Hi All, on the radio in my new 2024 Gladiator Rubicon, the Jeep Digital Store shows I have an active trial for the Vehicle Performance package with 4 services included.
Alfa Off Road Pages
Remote Software Updates
Trip Report
In-Vehicle Messaging
However, I could not find he Alfa Off Road...
Thanks man, yes it does but unfortunately it is not compatible with the 12.3" radio in the 2024 models. I did reach out to them and they said it was something they would look into.
Has anybody installed an aftermarket dash or front camera that works with CarPlay via Bluetooth or Wifi?
I did not get the front camera in my 2024 Gladiator, and I really miss it. I was hoping I could buy an aftermarket waterproof camera to mount on the front of my Gladiator and have it...
For anyone looking to mount the ARB single Air Compressor, check out 813 Fabrications firewall mount. Just installed it on my 2024 Gladiator and it fits perfectly. Comes with all necessary hardware, good instructions, and the product is definitely high quality, fits perfectly and very easy to...
Hi All, I love the Gladiator so naturally I needed a new one... My new 2024 Gladiator did not come with Nav and I was wondering if anyone has been able to display Apple CarPlay maps as a widget on the home screen. Ideally I'd like to see What's Playing and Apple Maps side by side.
It was making noise as soon as I shifted into 4WD even at very slow starting speeds but got louder the faster I went. The shaft never felt like it was going to explode it was just noisy with intermittent grinding noise. As soon as I shifted out of 4WD and the front driveshaft went away the noise...
UPDATE.
In case anyone is following this thread I just wanted to give an update. I finally got my Jeep back to the shop that did the work. Turns out the RC front driveshaft was defective, something about shape (sorry don't remember exact wording) and also had a bad u-joint maybe cause by the...
My 2020 Gladiator Rubicon launch edition is my 6th new Jeep since 97.
Jeep use to be a vehicle the average person could afford. Sadly, the pricing has gone way too much towards luxury for the masses, and less economical utility machine that the average person can buy, modify, and take on...
Thanks ShadowsPapa. The shop is actually ordering in Teraflex adjustable upper arms just in case a new driveshaft does not correct the issue. I will keep this info to show them should they want to go that route. I had death wobble back with my first Jeep, a TJ, but haven't had it since, so I...
Hey all, thanks for all the great replies and info. I'm sending some of it to the shop that did the lift and new driveshaft. Hoping they can resolve the issue soon. All this snow is making me want my 4WD.
So if I got a driveshaft with a double Cardan on both ends if such a thing exists would...
I've checked all the bolt torques and confirmed the driveshaft doesn't wiggle or feel loose when turning by hand. All the u-joints seem good, but I'm wondering if the angle is too much for them and if that might be causing the noise?
