  1. First Post and New Gladiator Willys

    So here are the actual numbers I measured Wide track axles O.D.- 2.760 I.D.- 1.965 2.76-1.965=.790 .790÷2=.395 (per side) .395=10mm thick tube walls Non wide track axels: O.D- 2.760 I.D.-2.090 2.76-2.09=.67 .67÷2=.335 (per side) .335=8.5mm thick tube walls Debate or not, these are true...
  2. First Post and New Gladiator Willys

    I have the dimensions written down in my shop and will provide them when I get a chance. I don't want to put info out based on a 3 month old guess, lol. My brain doesn't work that efficiently any more.
  3. First Post and New Gladiator Willys

    My inside and outside micrometers do not tell lies. As I stated, I verified this to be true. I bought a set of RCV tube seals to install in my Rubicon axle tubes. They were right at 2mm too big on the OD to fit in the tube. I ended up making my own based on my tube dimensions and the design of...
  4. First Post and New Gladiator Willys

    I wanted lockers and started shopping around. I crunched the numbers and the cost of adding lockers was nearly the same as finding a set of Rubicon take offs with lockers already in. Plus the Rubi tubes are 1-1/2" wider and 2mm thicker tube walls than the lower trim levels. Wide track axles are...
  5. First Post and New Gladiator Willys

    Very nice!! Welcome and get your bank account ready, lol. This is my "ex" Willys. It started life as a 21 Willys but there's not much Willy left. I have Rubicon Axles with 5.13's and 37's. You'll LOVE that combo.
  6. How much does your Gladiator weigh?

    Without passengers and 3/4 tank of gas I'm at 5700 lbs.
  7. Rugged Ridge Voyager Soft top

    Yeah it's a trade off for sure. If I'm driving by myself it's no big deal. It gets obnoxious when I have a passenger. But it's only at 75-80 unless you're driving into a crazy head wind. I still really love the look of it. And after a year of being on, it is showing no signs of wear.

    Oh damn, that's an old pic!! This is me now.
  9. Post Your Jeep "Fleet" Pics!

    My wife's 20 Gator Overland and my 21 Willys (now converted to Rubicon) 🤣

    We got pretty nasty down at Stoney Lonesome too.
  11. Spare tire trickery!!

    Na, I squeezed my 37- 12.50- 17 Cooper Discoverer SST under there. Yeah it's tight but it fit. My wife's 20 Overland came with the same steel 17" wheel and spare tire. Open diff's and even limited slip will eliminate the drive train damage being spoken of. It's a spare that's meant to get you...
  12. do I have the "wide" axles or not

    Yes I measured. I bought rcv axle tube seals to install in the Rubicon axles I bought. The aluminum seal body O.D. was too large to fit in the tube I.D. so I had to make my own. The Rubicon tube I.D. is 1.960 and the Willys tube I.D. was 2.050. I did install the purchased rcv tube seals in my...
  13. do I have the "wide" axles or not

    One other bit of info regarding wide axles, the wide ones have 10mm thick tube walls and the others are 8mm thick. I can confirm this as true.

    Hey @motobilt any sales coming up? Andrew, your rig is looking AWESOME!!
  15. What? No remote start?

    So I went and looked back in my purchase history. It was purchased in 21 and was $296 then. I don't see any charge for installation but I'm sure I paid for that as well. It wouldn't have been more than a couple hundred dollars though. I also bought an upgraded fob that has some ridiculous range...

    Savage is making some super nice precision rifles now. Project is looking great!!
  17. What? No remote start?

    Best I can remember it was around $350. Then I bought a 5 year subscription for whatever that price was. Probably something like $300.
  18. What? No remote start?

    We use Drone Mobile on my wife's JT and she loves it. Bought and installed at Best Buy. https://www.dronemobile.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-r-vBhC-ARIsAGgUO2CfPpoMduUTzuCROKRwrT5NWZDvV4EbdXK2FaPop9zN6mvMvkEk_qMaAoWTEALw_wcB
  19. Automatic Time Update for DST?

    Yeah with technology the way it is, unplugging our vehicles does nothing to eliminate being monitored. Not when you also carry a cell phone everywhere you go. Hell theses things listen to every word we say, know everywhere we go and know everything we type. Not to mention the 100's of millions...
