It barely clears, perhaps by a quarter inch or so, between the top lip of the winch opening and the crown of the winch... but thats the idea. There is plenty of room everywhere else, including inside the bumper. Ill take more detailed photos for a separate thread. ***special note: this...

This thread inspired me to put an AEV JK Premium bumper on my Gladiator... I bought the bumper DIRT cheap on Facebook MP (was a little rough) and refinished it using the exact same process as @2020 SCRAMBLER did here. I purchased a new AEV JL/JT winch mount plate as well as a new AEV...

These other set ups are pretty fancy. It looks like you want something cheap. As I recently posted somewhere else you can DIY a hoist for < $50, as follows: Parts: --> One of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/1200-lb-capacity-cable-puller-30131.html $20.00 --> Two of (something close...

The Jeep silhouette actually reminds me of an "Easter egg". guessing thats what you were going for, and its well done. Id purchase the blank ones but the silhouette will sell IMHO

I think the designs here are tasteful. HOWEVER, I am a simplicity guy. I REALLY like the newest iteration (LEDs around the perimeter only) with absolutely nothing in the center. I will have my local body guy paint the centers to match the body of my truck. It basically makes it look...

Big fan of what you did here. I am not in the market for a bed rack but wanted to say nice job. Also love the DIY tail stripe and hood decals (I noticed in another thread). I would potentially purchase a tail stripe kit.

1) If your end goal is to run 35" tires its cheaper to buy a set of Rubicon fender take-offs than a lift kit. 100% same results. 2) You dont need a lift or 35" tires to drive on the beach. 3) If you like the lifted look, go for it! Plenty of lifted Jeeps never see anything but pavement. Who...

I love everything about this, cant wait to see it with the white (reverse). Sign me up, ill take a pair.

I have an old hoist-a-top frame that pulls double duty... (TJ and Gladiator) I take the Gladiator top off by myself in 5 minutes (no exaggeration). No soft top needed I know this isn't the thread for it but you can rig a custom hoist for $50... One of these...

Hadn't seen this thread until today.... story to share. Back in late 2020 I was almost 5 years into ownership of my 2016 JKUR AEV JK350. Notable difference between a factory Rubicon and the AEV is a much larger, much heavier steel bumper. The road I was on was 4 lanes wide... two on...

I read three of the 7 pages (so far) and didn’t see anyone else address this, excuse me if its redundant The truth is you don’t NEED to put new axles in your Gladiator to run 40s. The further question is - do you need 40s?!? Based on your post I’m guessing no. If your truck is leased and/or...

Funny but, in all seriousness the inside of your exhaust system actually looks like kitty litter when you pull it apart - ceramic element breaks down from the back pressure once it fouls/cogs. I agree with the feedback above, will still get the tune looked at. Still need to replace one...

I always thought it was the cats... process of elimination confirmed. The seller who sold it to me represented nothing wrong with the car. I flew to North Carolina and drove it before I paid him, it seemed ok. I drove it all the way back from NC (to CT about 700 miles) and it was 98*...

UPDATE: What this turned into was a cautionary tale for anyone getting work done these days. This truck had fouled cats. Thats it. --> The local performance shop was trying to rip me off, preparing me for thousands of dollars of work/tuning the truck didn't need. --> AMW tried to sell...

Whoa - never even THOUGHT of this.... The seller would have told me though, he's a pretty knowledgable car guy.

Misread your first message... sending you a PM

Yeah... there was a "custom tune" in this one to 750hp instead of 707... perhaps it is just as easy as putting a new ECM, from the original builder, with "stock" Hellcat configuration and a new exhaust? I would love to think so but... (see my response to Dave, below). Dave, I have...

From what I now understand... The install shop's "special sauce" with their conversions is the custom, pre-tuned PCM. So they take a new one, reprogram it, then put it in the truck. I dont know if this tune was bad from the start (unlikely), has gone bad over time, or if the previous owner (who...

Helpful advice... I will try. My mistake earlier, I believe its an 8HP75 not an 8HP95

They installed a brand new crate Hellcat as well as a brand new crate 8HP95. I have no idea what they're controlling it with besides a reprogrammed JT ECU. Even moreso than the engine running rough/etc the trans shift points re off... its not comfortable to drive around town. Like I...
