After a brief hiatus, picked up a lightly used 21 Willys Eco-diesel. My first diesel, so going to get to know her a bit before doing too much (although the weird grill has got to go!). Have several take offs from my last Glady that I need to swap over (side steps, tonneau, Insane Audio head...
So taking a long trip (close to 3000 miles) and wanted a better ride/mpg/etc... so picked up a cheap set of takeoffs and put them on. Wow! Visual difference is disappointing to me...but the responsiveness increase is ridiculous! This thing is like an Indycar! 😂
Seriously, anyone spending big...
I'm going to drive about 3000 miles over the Thanksgiving holiday to visit friends/relatives. My current setup, Bridgestone Revo 3's in 315/7-17 Load E is great for everyday driving/weekend trail riding.
I'm thinking of picking up a takeoff set of wheels and tires specifically for this trip...
Just picked up a used hardtop. Apparently, I need some brackets for the freedom panels to altch and I need the wiring for the rear deforst. I believe the brackets below are what I need (cannot believe the cost!!) but can't find a wiring harness...anyone have a site where I can puchase it?
So traded my Sport S for a Mojave yesterday. I LOVE the Mojave
The 6spd is smooth. The ride is fantastic...
Now, about the soft top
You're f*****g kidding me, right? What drug addled brain did this thing come from??? Easily the most horrendous contraption I've ever seen. Unsightly, loud as...
So I was offered 41k for my current Sport S (only factory options are hardtop, heated seats, aux switch group) with 5700 miles on it. I paid just over 39k when purchased new.
I'd remove all mods except the Rancho Leveling kit and custom exhaust (tonneau cover, wheels/tires, Alpine under seat...
So, Had my current wheels for about 6 months. Had to take a 1600 mile trip so picked up a set of JL takeoffs for a quieter ride. Now, I can't decide which set I like better :( If I keep the JL wheels, plan to upgrade to a slightly larger tire and sell the 17" set. Any opinions (I know looks are...
Didn't see anything when I searched, but just did a Rancho Level It kit to level the front of my Gladiator. Install was super simple, sits perfectly level now and drives so much better with the new springs/shocks. I can actually take a curve and not fear the truck will flip :) (that may be a bit...
I'm looking to go a bit larger on my Sport S for tires. Pretty much down to the Falken Wildpeak A/T or the Nitto Ridge Grappler.
Looking at 2 sizes @Discount Tire (I have aftermarket wheels with 4.75 backspace so the stock tires stick out a bit already). Mostly onroad use (like 99% 0f us :) )...
Installed the Quake Halo LED Headlight and Foglight combo yesterday:
