I'm right there with you, man. Had some clunking in the steering. Thought I had it tracked down to a worn drag link bushing. Replaced the tie rod, and drag link since it was all stock stuff anyways. Added a steer smarts trackbar brace too, which meant I had to drop the frame side of the...
Yea that is the likely choice when I switch shocks. As part of the TF ext travel kit, I installed the rear spring retainers. Currently, I'm running the Rough Country Vertex shocks. I got a great deal on them and honestly, they've performed perfectly for my needs. As with most builds, the new...
I second your buddies experience. I have the TF version. Install wasn't too bad. Drilling is tedious, if only to ensure that you line everything up correctly. I tow a 4500lb (dry weight, so probably 5100ish loaded) 24' TT and could tell no difference between the stock and TF swaybar, in terms of...
If you're looking for control arms that are maintenance-free - don't get anything with greasable joints (ie. Johnny Joints). They'll wear out and start getting squeaky/clunky eventually, depending on climate. Anecdotally, I switched from Evo control arms (that had johnny joints), to Teraflex...
Best of luck with that! I'm moving near Augusta in a couple months. Any good wheeling spots near this corner of the states? Not familiar with Georgia at all.
I had to move overseas for two years not too long after building my Gladiator. I decided to store it for a little over a year. Visited the states this past summer and pulled it out of storage. Now its being looked after by a fam member. I'll be headed back this summer and am looking forward to...
Looks great! I am looking at the exact same upgrades. Did you find the balljoints and new steering linkage improved the steering/handling of the Jeep? TIA
After a couple back and forths between a local dealer and corporate, they agreed that it is in fact covered under warranty (there was debate). Because no dealer I found locally would fix it themselves, corporate said I could find a licensed auto glass repair company and then submit the receipts...
I was folding the rear seat top down and noticed it was damp, then noticed there was water intrusion tracks coming down from the rear window. Confirmed it was leaking with a garden hose.
What luck, haha. I don't mind the wait time so much as I mind the thought of my Jeep sitting at the dealer with a busted back window for 3-5 weeks. I can only cynically imagine they won't give due diligence to making sure its sealed from the elements properly.
I may pursue your method if I...
Hello all,
My JTR recently developed the well-documented rear window leak on the hardtop. It's still well within my warranty period, however I am having some issues getting it fixed.
I was told by the closest dealer to my house that they "don't do that type of repair". I didn't press because...
