I've always wondered what the difference would be when the sway bar is disconnected and the axle is at full articulation (rock crawling etc.) vs not loosening the control arms when installing a lift. Seems like the bushings would get equally torqued when the axle is fully articulated when crawling.
Good to know about the calibration. I have a tazer and i'll try the 34.25" first!
@Discount Tire - I know the manufacturing specs seem to differ when they're mounted on the vehicle. Some video's I've seen (non-gladiator) had the diameter measuring 33.5" and the width 11.7". So i'll be...
Grabbing a set of these in 315/70/r17 tomorrow. Has anyone measured diameter and width while mounted? I've seen measurements of 33.5" when mounted, just not on a gladiator.
Roll n lock with Yakima overhaul Hd. I wanted a retractable cover vs roll up, so I went with the roll n lock. If I were to do it again I’d drop some (serious) cash on the Leitner ACS forged rack and the EGR power tonneau. I don’t think it gets better than that.
Yakima Rack doesn’t have too many options for mounting gear so I DIY’d a Go Rhino gear plate. Came out awesome. This will be for recovery boards. I’m going to pick up another for the other side to mount various things too.
They use the OEM switches., that's why they look OEM. Also, these do NOT have the backlit feature like the OEM one's do. Z auto has not engineered that feature, yet.
OEM bumpers go for around $100 in my area. You will need to splice into OEM fog connector (big gray piece) if you want to use the fog light button inside the vehicle as most aftermarket LED's harnesses are not compatible with OEM connector and the ones that are compatible are expensive. I just...
With Jeeps ridiculous 2024 pricing, Jeep has killed off (most of) their existing customer base who would've traded in their current 2020/21 MY gladiators. An Overland to Rubicon in 2021 was about a $7k difference, now it's $15k-$20k difference. Needles to say, I'll be driving my Overland until...
I don't think the issue would be 'modifying the tonneau to fit the rack' but 'modifying the rack to fit the tonneau'. Some racks just aren't compatible with tonneau's. Have you thought about selling your fab four rack and going with a tonneau compatible rack?
Yakima Overhaul HD. You can purchase the tonneau kit 1 separately which allows it to be mounted to the roll n lock. I can post pictures later of my setup.
