It is good to hear testimonials of people who do things a little different and are happy with their results. It looks like you test your jeep to make sure it performs well. Thanks for sharing!
Med kit (check) trauma kit (check) firearm (check) needs more ammo and working on my HAM radio license. I just want to be prepared for any scenario that can happen. haha a bigger gas tank and tire inflater will be a good too!
Thanks for the reply. I talked to guy at a lift shop locally and he gave me the same advice as you did. He said, "add all the weight on first and then choose the suspension lift". I will be looking into the bumper and side armor options. It's hard to tell if price is equal to quality on a lot of...
That is a good looking rig. You are one of many who has a good testimony about RC kits. Is that a 2.5 or 3.5 suspension? The 37's fit nice with those fenders. I have zero experience with any suspension so your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks for the pics and the reply!
Thanks for the reply. I will keep that in consideration when shopping for shocks. I have heard nothing but good things about the falcons. I am glad to hear you are enjoying them. I like how your shocks have a dial that can be adjusted on the fly. Keep us updated on anything new with your gladiator.
That was done right. No pun intended. the bumper and rims really set it off! have you had any experience with mild to moderate off road? if so, how did it perform? thanks. Good pic my friend.
That a goooood lookin jeep. Thanks for sharing your build info, it definitely help with my build direction. It has a great stance to it. I will be building those door holders, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the input! I want to avoid that same scenario. This forum seems to be the best place to learn what to do and what not to do. Good luck on your build. Please post some upgrades as added.
Thanks for the reply. Sway bar disconnects are a good upgrade.
Thanks for your input. It seems odd that jeep works directly with AEV to create new upgrades for jeeps coming right off the factory floors. All there Jeeps look great, and from what I've heard from one of the higher up guy that work...
Thanks for the reply. Sway bar disconnects are a good upgrade to consider too. I think 35's are the sweet spot for me (for now). I would like to jeep up in South Dakota, it seems like some great wide open spaces.
Thanks for the reply. That thing is a beast. That is the dream, 3.5 suspension on 37's. I am happy for you. It helps to see the picture of the suspension lifts installed. Please keep us posted on your gladiator build, it would be good to get some more pics and updates!
Thanks for the reply. I will definitely consider your advice! I need to look more into that 1.5 kit from Clayton and give them a call. Those shock you got make me envious. How does it drive on the freeway? I have only heard one complaint about Clayton. Well maybe a few about the price too. This...
Thanks for the reply. Well said. It does cost money, but is it worth it? I like the idea of having a more capable jeep than stock. But I think some off road time, like you said, is needed to understand what this this is really capable of.
Thanks for replying. I am very happy with it. It is actually a 34.4 inch tire. I do have a 1 inch tereflex spacer up front which I forgot to mention. With the rubicon, the 4.10 gear ratio would be nice. I keep seeing these guys on here post sale alerts for tires, these seem way less expensive...
Thanks! I like the stance of RC. When I asked my local shop about it they said they wouldn't even consider installing RC lifts. Im not the expert but I've never heard a bad review from someone who has the suspension installed on their jeep (except maybe one). It seems tempting though. Thanks...
