Russler Build

[Russler]

Great Build Rusty! I love those Fuel Wheels. Been researching them for a month. I like your +1 with 11.5. Looks aggressive but still tucked in. Thanks for sharing your build!

Thanks, enjoy your project!

Great rig Russler! I just ordered the same wheels with a +1 offset along with 37" Patagonias. I had a question though, did you install hub centric rings since the center bore of these are too large at 78.1 compared to the 71.5 that we have. Thanks!

I did not

In the process of installing the ADD Stealth front and rear bumpers. Probably not an issue if you never leave the road but the front bumper exposes the sway bar disconnect and ADD does not offer a solution to protect at this point in time. I am going to cut down my stock/existing plate for now and hoping they come out with a better solution in the future.

Hey Rusty, i know I’m kinda late to the party, but I’ve been thinking about buying this bumper for my JT, hoping you could tell me how you wired the 20inch light bar?, is it wired to the factory fog light switch?.

I connected the front light bar to the #1 uplifter switch. I connected the rear lights to the #3 uplifter switch. PM me if you have other questions and I would be more than happy to PM, call or text.

I attempted to connect the light bar to the factory fog light harness but did not work for some reason. I bought a harness adapter and spliced the bumper harness (at the bumper not at the frame) to connect it. My set up was a plastic bumper LED fogs which I replaced with a 20 inch E-Series Rigid. At the end I ended up connecting it to the AUX Switch position 1.

Once i get my bumper, i will try to wire the 20inch light bar to the fog light switch, TJ Mitchell Films has a pretty good video on youtube showing how he wired his light bar to his factory fog light switch.

Mopar Performance Parts 4:88's installed today. Dealership called to inform me that they had to drive across town to get a set of bearings because I have lockers. Service dept stated they normally reuse the existing bearing but due to the lockers they had to get the new ones. Luckily another dealership had them in stock and the dealership I am working with stepped up, drove across town and honoring the original price as agreed upon.

Also shared that the shim kit that the 4:88's came with did not get the job done. Luckily the tech had shown me a binder full of shims he has bought over 20 years ago. Winner, Winner he had the shim(s) needed to complete my project.

They updated the computer to address the gear change and also changed speedo settings to address my larger tire size. They could not or not willing to lower TPMS so still stuck with the Taser to address TPMS and turn off auto start stop.

Interestingly was also informed that Notice: 21V-028 (manual transmission software TSB) was not available at this time even tho I have seen others on the forum getting it done.

Excited to go pick her up tomorrow!

Quick shout out to the team at Lock'er Down. I purchased an Extreme Console Safe on April 5th. Due to supply chain issues they had a delay in shipping. When it showed up I had this nice little note along with a free magnet! Completely unexpected but greatly appreciated. Looking forward to the install and sharing my thoughts. #Lockerdown https://www.lockerdown.com

I thought my Gladiator got a lot of attention before. Hauled this bad boy home 1100 miles on Saturday. It was hard to get out of gas stations because everyone wanted pictures.

Mopar exhaust and 2" lift kit in progress

Came across these and thought the garage looked familiar. And then I saw your Fury Motors plate! They did mine too! Picked mine up Jan 9 of 2021 so ours were in at almost the same time! They did my Mopar 2 inch and wheels/tires. They are a great dealership. Pictured below are my old rig, my new rig the day it arrived, in the shop, pick up day and a pic I took earlier today.
