Update, issue resolved Just wanted to follow up in case it helps others. The vibration was caused by the front pinion angle being too steep, a result of combining Mopar lower control arms with the Rancho correction brackets. That setup pushed the caster too far and negatively affected the front...

I have a custom 5/8-inch carrier bearing drop bracket, but that bracket is for the rear driveshaft, not the front. Can you explain a bit more? I’m slow to understand at first, but once I get it, I really get it. :P

Hello everyone, I’m experiencing a rumbling/vibration issue on my Gladiator that I didn’t have last winter. Let me explain: Last year, in snowy conditions, I often drove at 90–110 km/h in 4x4 without any strange noises or vibrations. This summer, I lifted the Jeep (2.5" front, 1.5" rear{spring...

You’re right the volume are critical, but on premium alpine audio, both signals in the pillars are already filtered and equalized directly at the Alpine amp, one feeds the mids, and one feeds the highs in the pillars. Frequencies below 100Hz are heavily attenuated on the mid/high channel in...

Yes but you have to remove plastic panels where the sub is located..

A lot, honestly. There's almost no deep bass in the B-pillar wires if you have the Alpine system. You absolutely need a signal processor to try to restore the low-end frequencies if you tap in there — and the sound quality really depends on how good (and how expensive) that module is... and even...

Thanks, but I don’t want a trunk lip mount for my Firestik 3'. My first choice was the Way alife bed mount, but I have the Mopar soft roll-up tonneau cover, and unfortunately, that mount isn’t compatible with it. The Quake mount has the same issue — it uses the same mounting points as the...

Hi! I took the signal directly from the Alpine amplifier, just below the steering wheel. It’s a bit tricky to access, but it works. I can probably take a picture of the wire I used and send it to you if that helps! Let me know if you want the photo or more details. AUDIO-SYSTEM---PREMIUM.pdf...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice about a CB antenna bracket setup for my Gladiator. I came across the Procomm PC32-3300 bracket and was wondering if anyone here has experience with it. Does it fit well? Is it a good option overall? I’ve heard that the Topsy bracket might be better...

Off-road Trip

I installed my new mudflap from from RekGen today. I'm happy with it—it's exactly what I wanted! It offers approximately 1 inch of lateral adjustment, and I positioned it at the most tucked-in setting to minimize poke and fit my +18 offset. The material seems very good.

Shine in front but not in rear, good idea to buy her something shiny ✨ 🤣

Thanks, I have the frame mounts and the four mounting points on the axles(Overland 2023 8spd auto). I'm still running the stock OEM black shock in the rear, and my next step is to install Bilstein 5100 shocks in the rear. I want to see the difference before making any other modifications—I don't...

Hi Jack, Thanks for the input. To clarify, the hop only occurred a few times in heavy, deep snow, and I really want to prevent it from happening again. It would be great to have confirmation that the shock works with a rear lift that’s sold as a 1.5-inch(on JTR) lift but actually measures about...

Hi, I have a Gladiator overland with automatic transmission. When it had only 2,000 km on the odometer and was non-lifted, I experienced some very violent rear axle hop while off-roading in the snow. Now, at 8,000 km, I've installed lift springs that add 2.5 inches at the front and 1.5 inches at...

Hi ShadowsPapa, I saw your lifted Overland measurements and wanted to compare since my Overland is also lifted. My current ride height: Front: 24 1/4 - 24 1/2 inches Rear: 25 - 25 1/2 inches For my setup, I’m running JK Superlift Coil Springs 580 with their top-mount bushings up front, and...

Hello, I want to know if anyone has used the JTGRTB – Rear Track Bar Bracket for the Jeep Gladiator JT from Skyjacker. Is it good or trash? It's very inexpensive compared to the MetalCloak bracket… Thanks for any input!

I have two Jeeps—one is a 2023 Gladiator with the premium audio system, and the other is a 2024 Wrangler Willys with the base audio setup. I've installed subwoofers and amp in both vehicles, and the process was significantly easier in the Wrangler with the base audio. I've also upgraded the...

It works, but it's more complicated with the Alpine system. The audio outputs on the model with an amp and sub are filtered directly, so if you want to connect an aftermarket amp for sub, you either need to tap into the specific subwoofer signal or use a PAC between the head unit and the factory...
