  1. Biggest tire on stock Willy Rims

    I just put 315/70r17 (Cooper STT Pros)on my stock Willys wheels. I raised the concern about the wheels being too narrow, shop owner assured me they’ll be fine, he’s done a lot like that with no issues. With spacers and before the lift, he says they were good lock to lock with no rub.
  2. PROPERLY shifting into 4wd, H or L

    DailyMoparGuy has it right. Shift into 4hi can be done anytime you’re moving leas than 45mph, just take your foot off the skinny pedal and pull the t-case shifter to 4hi. To go to 4lo, just be rolling slow, shift transmission to neutral, then pull t-case shifter straight through N to 4lo. Once...
  3. Help identifying these bumpers.

    They’re both Westin bumpers. Front is the wj2 full width, I forgot to look at the name of the rear. If you really like them, check the price +shipping on Rockauto vs anywhere else you can find them, might be cheaper.
  4. Anybody know where to get a Zeak 13,000 winch?

    I think you’re out of luck for now. I just got one about two weeks ago, and both Amazon and Zeak’s website showed in stock and were working fine. I’d say they’re currently out of stock, probably because so many people saw that video and bought them already.
  5. How to make it stronger and better?

    They They did a lot of unnecessary mods to that gladiator in that episode, and not much that was really beneficial. My wife made me watch it, and I rolled my eyes a lot. follow the advice of the other commenters on this thread and only replace/upgrade/add what you might really need for your...
  6. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I would have preferred the factory ones, but couldn’t find a set I was willing to pay for. These seem sturdy enough to me, didn’t flex or give when I stepped on them, but as noted by others the welds could be better. they should be easy to swap on in place of the OEM sliders. if you do swap...
  7. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Yes, they’re the Red Rock. I noticed the welds didn’t look great, but decided I’d give them a try. They’re better than what I had before (nothing lol). They seem solid enough for my needs for now. I was hoping to find a set of rubicon takeoffs, but the only ones I’ve found were outside of my...
  8. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Added a little protection to the rear of my ā€˜22 Willys. bumper and winch going on hopefully by end of weekend, lift and 35s within a month, hopefully.
  9. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    Now see, this is a very good point, and what I needed to hear. It is, in fact, about to get a spacer lift and 35s, and your very convincing observation will help me decide.
  10. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    If I was close enough to pick it up, I’d definitely buy that rubi bumper from you. The DV8 clone looks like it has a better winch plate than a lot of the other aftermarket bumpers, but what you said about the bolts is interesting, I’ll have to look into it. I do like the option to keep the OEM...
  11. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    That’s what this made me realize too, full width is better for the majority of my driving. I think I’m going to go with the DV8 one clone, then I can remove the end caps for off-road while keeping more protected on road.

    Ouch. Glad you’re still here to comment, that could have been way worse too.
  13. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    I agree, it’s not really damaged. If I wasn’t planning to add a winch, I’d definitely leave it. The winch is a settled debate, I already could have used it once, when my stepson was dumb and got his truck stuck in a real bad spot. My last two vehicles haven’t been winch capable, or I’d already...

    I already have the debilitating caffeine addiction, and the exhaustion is due to work stress and a stepson who is awake while we’re sleeping because he works 2nd shift, and has no concept of how to be quiet. What I really need is a vacation!
  15. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    Yep, oem plastic. I’m looking at the DV8 full width modular now, possibly an LOD but I’m poor and they’re high! I just barely clipped it, just couldn’t get over far enough because of traffic in the lane beside me. Here’s the only damage I can find.
  16. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    Thanks for the offer, but I’m in Columbia, but far to be worth it. Say, you aren’t by chance on the Reloading discord, are you?
  17. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    Ha! Seems like everybody here in Missouri wants crazy money even for the plastic bumpers! Bumper isn’t bad enough to warrant replacement, but planning to upgrade to a winch bumper soon.
  18. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    You are not wrong! 44 years old, and this is the first time I’ve hit a road hazard. Caught me slipping. I’m so mad at myself already, and even more now that Free2Roam made me realize I SHOULD have picked it up for scrap!
  19. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    About 65-70, right around the speed limit for a change. Yeah, that’s what has me thinking I’ll get a full width winch bumper!
  20. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    Had a little incident tonight. I was tired and distracted driving home from my son’s basketball practice, and didn’t see a big aluminum truck bed toolbox in the road ahead of us until last second. Swerved, but not enough, and clipped it. Looks like I have a small (around 1-2ā€) crack in bumper...
