following this thread. Looking to install the G900TriPro and use the spacer trick to lower the bracket. Most of the screenshots I see are looking out the back camera. I want to make sure the front camera clears the adaptive shroud and ideally the front hood. I used a blackvue camera on my old...
There's a kill switch that's installed right next to the OBD sensor under the dash, which kills power to the sliders. You kill power while inside the JT, then they won't activate when you take the doors off.
Just ensure you kill power to the sliders before you take a door off. Ask me how I...
There's a kill switch installed next to the OBD port which kills power to the steps. Sadly that does mean the steps aren't active when the doors are off.
It also means that the 1st time I took the door off, I did not toggle the kill switch first, which meant I had to put the door back on, wait...
I recently installed them and they work great. Simple install and no noticeable gap after installing the brackets under the rail system. One thing, Not related to the JCR Panels... Jeep used heavy duty 3m double sided tape at the bolt holes, so even when you remove the rail bolts, be prepared...
As an update to the build, there was one piece that I knew was going to have to happen since my wife is petite.
Installed Power Steps from RSE (Rock Slide Engineering), with the slider armor upgrade. I'm pretty impressed. The steps come out from an angle, leaving the bottom to be fully armored...
Traded in my 2018 Ocean Blue JLU Rubicon and ordered a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon in Sarge Green with Tan Leather Interior. Ordered the end of January 2021. Took delivery on 04/10.
In the 2.5 months I had to wait since ordering, I planned and pieced out what I wanted the build to be. This is the...
thank you for the feedback @LostWoods.
I agree. 3 threads caused me concern, but in a few weeks, my JTR will be in. I will say, that poison spyder bumper was on the JL for 3 years and took some abuse on a few occasions. after every time, I checked all 8 bolts and even originally marked the...
amen.
not related to recovery hooks, but I was at a recovery where a jeep was winching out another vehicle and had a steel winch line that snapped. thank god people were smart and standing with a good sized tree between them and the winch line (they didn't put a blanket on the line to weigh it...
that's a nice looking RR bumper. looks very similar to the mopar steel bumper (without the wings), but it has those red hooks.
I think I need to start another thread strictly on the viability of those hooks. since multiple companies (including mopar) use them, I have to assume they're safe, but...
My JTR is on order. My current JLR has a poison spyder bruiser stubby front bumper that I've been happy with. My only complaint with the bruiser bumper was I barely had 3 threads to bolt onto after passing thru the spacers. It always made me feel nervous that the bumper was going to pull off...
I currently have 35" Cooper STTs on my JL and they've been great. We drove cross-country from OR to FL and back on them and it was a great ride. I'm looking at 37" Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ P3s for the Gladiator. Been hearing good things about them.
I love the Vision 111 Nemesis wheels that I...
ok. looking around and doing more research, here's where I'm at.
- Mopar 2" Lift Kit with FOX Shocks
vs
- Rock Krawler 3" Pro-X 'No Limits' Stage 1
2 very different lifts, with the rock krawler basically double the price. however, its a vastly more complete kit and addresses almost everything...
This is great feedback. Thank you and keep it coming. It could be the shop was trying to gauge how much they could get out of me.
I agree 2 to 3 inch is where I think I should be. Is the Mopar lift good? I’ve heard good and bad, and some Mopar parts are incredibly overpriced (though not voiding...
Just ordered my JT Rubicon (Sarge Green, Dark Saddle Leather). This is my 3rd Jeep. I'm trading in my JL or the JT. My JL sits on 35" Cooper STTs with no lift. I've never had any issues, but I wasn't doing black diamond obstacles either.
Looking for recommendations. I'm planning on 37s for the...
