Looks good and nice write up!
Can I ask the dimension from the bottom of the door to the step? Currently have the Mopar side steps and don't want to lose the step functionality but looking to upgrade to something more rugged.
Will it work? Yes
Will you lose 4-5 MPG on the highway with 35's and a lift? Yes
Will it be sluggish on start and on the highway? Will it hunt for gears and downshift at the hint of a slight incline? Also yes.
I ran on 35s and 3.73s with a 2.5" lift daily driving for about 2 years and it was...
Has anyone used the 10.5" with aftermarket fender liners? If so what brand? Did you have to trim?
Can't find the thread but I thought I remember someone saying that they interfered with American Adventure Lab inner fenders but can't find the post.
Sarge with tan interior would be my top choice.
Bought off the lot in January 2020 so didn't have as many choices...black, white and shades of grey I think there was a red one in there but not my style.
I went last year and had a great time. Instructors and guides were great and it was the first time I got my gladiator out on something more than simple trails. Stock rubis had no issue but did drag the hitch receiver on this decline as they leveled out onto the ground. Nothing to be scared of...
I wouldn't regear for 33's unless you are planning on carrying more weight (bumpers, winch, etc). I went from 32's to 35's and still haven't done it but will in the near future.
Do you have the part numbers for the Front Runner legs? This is what I want to do but not sure if I'll go full Rhino or just use crossbars from Front Runner
Call Clayton. They've always been great to deal with.
Personally I haven't had this issue when jacking up the truck. Did you have control arms and track bar installed as well? Vehicle has been into the dealership a couple of times for the freebie oil changes and tire rotations and no issues there.
I probably would've gone Mojave. I got a good deal on an Overland that had all the options I wanted except the bed power outlet in December 2019 before the Mojave came out.
Video would be helpful.
Lift excuse is BS. I've got 2.5-3" lift on mine and nothing like you are describing. Haven't had issues getting service because of the lift either.
Had the same experience in a parking garage in downtown Houston. Repeated warnings but never applied the brakes. I had been in parking garages before without this issue but I think it was because this one was compact. You could barely get two cars abreast of each other going up or down and only...
I think they tried to make some adjustability, or rather just carried it over from the JL, but it isn't going to work for everyone.
FYI average American male height is ~5'9" so this may be used as a design parameter
