They’re pulling out everything that makes it a Rubicon, so it makes sense.I noticed you guys start with overlands. May I ask why?
cause if you’re building your own rig a Rubicon is overpriced and the features aren’t worth the money.I noticed you guys start with overlands. May I ask why?
We mainly choose the Overland because of two reasons. We had and still do have issues with our JL and the aftermarket axles under it. Not the fault of the axles but the main issue is the computer and its search for the FAD. Yes we have a Tazer but have found it doesn't remove the lights on the dash. We've updated our software so its current. The interior and exterior options of the Overland package including a properly colored dash made the decision even easier.I noticed you guys start with Overlands. May I ask why?
Our Gladiator started out stock and slowly worked its way to where it will be at the end of the month. We wanted to show the full spectrum of what could be done over time. Other than the axles and front DSS, everything on the rig is what a normal person can obtain and install on their rig. You'll have to keep watching as we're going to be debuting a bunch of new parts on our JTs. We also have some great partners who have helped to make these builds possible. They trust us to build something great and to continue to market their exceptional products.Seems no limit to what a person can spend sort of takes the fun out of it. I`d rather see Jeeps that the average Joe is and will build, these mega $$$$ builds are of no interest and i pay them no attention. But that`s SEMA, shock and ahh for better or worse.
Do the FAD issues exist with the the RCV one piece CV axles. https://www.quadratec.com/p/readylift-suspension/ultimate-front-1-piece-cv-axles-jeep-wrangler-jl According to RCV there should be no issues. I understand issues could occur with a complete delete of the FAD. Metal Cloak makes a nice skid plate for the FAD so i do not see issues with leaving it in and using the RCV axles.We mainly choose the Overland because of two reasons.

A lot of the comments above are correct also in what played into this years choice to purchase Overland models over the Rubicon. We don't plan to do much rock crawling with these as we have a perfectly capable Wrangler for that. Ours will be mainly used for extended duration/distance Overland trips.
