  1. Recommendations for first Moab trip in the Gladiator?

    I went last May and spent 10 days in the area. OnX worked flawlessly for me. The other tool that I used and helped immensely in planning the trails I wanted to do was the FunTreks guide to Moab UT Backroads and 4 wheel drive trails. One of the good things in this book is it has the trails...
  2. Steps or Sliders....hhhmmm

    I acquired a set of these last November from a Gladiator owner who was getting ready to throw them out. They are expensive for if purchase new but were the sliders/steps I wanted from the start. Jeep® Performance Parts Rock Rails
  3. Synergy front springs 8863-10 question/ BUMP STOPS

    ShadowsPapa's comments make sense and the OP ordered 2" bump stop spacers so I think this has been put to rest. I just installed 8863-30 in my Gladiator so have done some back ground work also. Synergy Spring's website clarifies why the 2" bump stop spacing is required: "Min bump stop...
  4. Soft topper recommendations?

    I have had a Softopper for a little over a year. I also have a Topper Tent attached to it for sleeping in the back with the tailgate down. It has served me well and 100% happy with it. I chose it over the Bestop because of the lines like Jerhemi mentioned. I also looked at the Wild Top and...
  5. 37s No regear question

    I think the weight of the tire and wheel combo make a difference. I have run 37" KO2s on stock rims with 4.10s for two years, including a trip from Maryland to Moab, Utah and am happy with the setup. I have seen some 37" wheel/tire combos ending up 40+ pounds heavier than my set up per corner...
  6. Thin, Light 37" Tire for Spare?

    37X12.50X17 BFG KO2 load range C on a stock rim seems to be pretty light and not to wide for a 37" tire. Maybe a little short compared to other 37"s but it is just your spare and better than the stock 33..
  7. Suspension Upgrade Time

    Good point. I researched the 2.5" Metalcloak's and 2.5" Clayton's, The Clayton's run tall and Metalcloak springs s in general run tall. I am pushing the limits of my LOW Garage door height so initially thought I would rather take the chance to add in a 1/2" spacer if the front ends a little...
  8. Suspension Upgrade Time

    I think it is time to upgrade my suspension after running the 1.5” Teraflex / ¾” Daystar spacer lift for the past two years on my Rubicon. I intend to upgrade the suspension based on parts I have already on the truck or have collected in the garage. I know I could buy an off the shelf lift kit...

    Got a delivery today.
  10. What First: 37s or Lift?

    A leveling kit up front and 37"s is my suggestion. I have been running 37" C rated KO2's on stock rims and 4.10 gears for 2 years and 26K miles. I started with just a 1.5" leveling kit up front for the first year and than added a 3/4" rear spacer. I said I would install a slightly larger lift...

    It looks like my trail weekends are don with for the year and well into next year due to other obligations.
  12. Heading to Blacksburg!

    John, In VA, Pott's mountain Jeep trail is close to Blacksburg and is very challenging, there is a rock garden in the middle that can be very technical. I have done a run in the spring there the last two years Pott's Mountain. Flag Pole Knob like mentioned above. Peter's Mill run is a couple...
  13. Topper Tent Mid-Size V2 with a Rebel Off Road XPLOR rack

    I just installed one last week with my SoftTopper for my trip to AOAA in Pennsylvania over the weekend. it worked out well. It took me about 3 minutes each night to setup and would have been quicker with a hardtop. The soft top version uses the same zipper as the rear window so there was a few...
  14. Tailgate Tent

    I bought one of these two weeks ago to work with my softtopper. I used it this weekend and worked out better than expected. I realize now that I didn't take any pics at camp but here are two from the driveway after initial install on Thursday night.

    An Assateague beach camp out would be awesome.

    It was great meeting everyone yesterday. I would have faired better if I would have run the trails two days in a row. Hitting the badge trails on Friday was uneventful. Yesterday, I ended up high centered twice and had to be winched off a rock in a creekbed. I also lost the battle with the tight...

    Looks like the nights are going to be pretty cold for camping this weekend. If I don't see everyone on Saturday morning it is because I am frozen at the AOAA Trailhead campground. 😬 On a serious note. I hope to be out on the trails by 9:30 on Friday and am looking forward to meeting who ever...
  18. AOAA new Badge of Honor trails November 11, 2023 at 9 AM

    I will be there on the 10th and 11th. Looks like I will be with a JK on 35"s both days and a Tacoma on 1 tons and 40's on Saturday. If the group is too big might have to split up. I am looking forward to finally meeting some of you. I have wheeled with the Tacoma driver since about 2001 and...
  19. Ram Mount 'A'pillar ball

    I did the same thing but purchased through Amazon. Voodonala for Jeep JL JT A-Pillar Phone Holder Bracket Alumium Alloy seems to be holding up fine.

    Guess I am a few days late. I made plans this weekend to go to AOAA over Veterans Day Weekend. I will be there Nov 10-12.
