  1. Cry three times, buy three times shocks

    All four of my original shocks were leaking and pretty beat up when I got my lift. I’d had the Gladiator maybe 10 months at that point. Fast forward another 11 months and I’m looking at two front shocks that look like this. Needless to say I’m done with Fox. Neither my original shocks or these...
  2. Clunk on front end

    I went wheeling this weekend as part of the Ozark Overland Adventure Patreon meet up. Noticed a pretty bad clunk on the front end when the sway bar was disconnected. Hard to tell any further than that but I’d say it was when I was turning slowly, with some droop on the front wheels. I.e...
  3. Rear window leak…

    I’ve been noticing what I thought was condensation streaks on the back window over the past month of so. Well I went through the car wash this morning and yup, window leak coming from the top. I know there’s been MANY people with this same issue. Is there a definitive fix for this? Can’t get...
  4. Need new lights…

    So my two year old grabbed hold of a ladder that was leaning against the garage wall and pulled it over onto the Gladiator. Cracked the tail light, small dent on the crease. I’m actually shocked at how little damage it did! The ladder hit at almost 45° and was moving fast. A few inches to the...
  5. Ordered a trailer!

    Placed my order this morning for a Hiker Trailer. They’re about $20,000 less than other offerings on the market and they seem to have quite the cult following. After researching RTT vs Trailer this is what we decided works best for us. It’s 5x9, should be tough enough to be dragged where we...
  6. Arkansas 1.75” wheel spacers

    Bought these for better clearance, never used them. Test fit one on the hub and decided it looked better without (not torqued down or anything, just finger tight) paid $200 from quadratec. god knows what shipping will be. Both boxes are 11lb each so I imagine a fair bit. Asking $150 obo, not...
  7. Tail light replacement - halogen to LED

    I really don’t like the taillights They look odd and I dislike how the poke so much. I AM NOT GOING TO USE ORACLE:LOL: Don’t know why anyone bothers with them after reading threads on here! Any alternatives worth looking at? Or should I go oem? If that’s even possible
  8. Wrecker Olympics in Utah

    Anyone plan on going? It’s organized by the Matt’s off road recovery guys. I’m able to carve some time out to head there. Going to be a little over 1200 miles each way for me! I’ve never been to Sand Hollow but have heard and seen good things.
  9. Help! Top shock mount bolt?

    Think I may have discovered my front end clunk culprit. The top shock bolt was finger tight. Whatever spanner monkey that put the paint check on it was an idiot. my question. Is there supposed to be a nut on the rear side of this? The other side doesn’t have one and I’ve tightened it down...
  10. Springs bowing when flexed

    This may be a dumb question but here we go. I’ve been noticing a clunk coming from what sounds to be my drivers side front corner. Only happens occasionally, in fact it could quite easily be my winch hook hitting my bumper. Well I went to test my theory and found a place close by to flex out...
  11. Powering a fridge/freezer

    Alright overlanding people. Needing some input on powering a fridge! I am buying this fridge/freezer https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08SMGMPKW?th=1&psc=1 My question is this. Am I better off plugging into the cigarette lighter or the 400w plug in the back? Fridge will sit on the back seat so...
  12. So the wife wants a 2 door...

    And honestly so do I! Local dealership has a beautiful Earl Grey Rubicon on the showroom floor. We have been on the look out for a second car for a while now but haven't seen much we actually like. Cars are just BORING nowadays. Didn't think I'd like it as much as I do. I can't get into the...
  13. Arkansas Recovery hooks

    Rubicon take offs and Arcus recovery “horns”. I rattle canned the Arcus ones red and did a terrible job haha. Wouldn’t take much to make them look nice The Arcus horns are around 20lbs. The Rubicons are about 10lbs. You pay shipping but they’re yours for free
  14. My humble “build”

    Bone stock in Sedona (different sliders). We lived within easy driving distance of what I consider to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth. And now here we are in Arkansas! 2.5” lift, bumper, winch and 35’s. We’ve put some good miles on it and are having a blast. Need some additional...
  15. Standard hitch vs lock n roll

    Wife and I are currently speccing out a trailer from Hiker Trailer and I'm not 100% sure on what hitch to put on the trailer. I have a height adjustable, standard ball hitch already, just wondering if it's worth buying more "stuff". We won't be doing anything crazy with the trailer, but for...
  16. Both front shocks blown

    Went and had the rubicon lifted yesterday. The guys working on it we’re pretty shocked (lol) to see that both my front shocks were completely blown. OEM fox rubicon shocks. I knew one had a slight leak but they said both were total write offs. I’ve not gone too hard on them in the 20,000...
  17. 1.75” spacer. Yes or no

    Yes, you like the look No, you don’t like the look No, they are unsafe/a failure point when off-road. Will be getting a 2.5” lift in the next few weeks. Gladiator is on 35s
  18. Truck Bed Tent

    I'm comparing the Kodiak Canvas and the Rightline Gear bed tents. Spending $4000+ on a rooftop tent set up makes no sense to me and the family. We tent camp and in the late spring just the wife and I will be doing a big trip to Colorado. Aside from the Kodiak being more than twice the price of...
  19. 4 Wheel Parts lift options

    I've noticed that my front passenger side shock has a leak. Not a huge one, but its wet at the bottom after a few days if I wipe it clean. Gives me a good excuse to have a lift installed. Added weight from the Arcus and winch have me about where I was height wise when it was on 33's. I don't...
  20. Rubbing on 35’s and stock wheels- Spacers?

    Upgraded to 35x12.5x17 yesterday and scared the crap out of myself this morning pulling out of my driveway. catching big time out the inside of the arches on both sides. Not even on full lock. So I’m thinking wheel spacers might be a quick fix? Anyone running them with stock wheels and suspension?
