Sport S 2021 Build. First jeep ever so I’m learning

[RicoRudy]

so I’m starting this DD a little late as I have made some mods already. I got the sport S snazzleberry about a month ago and have done few things to it and hoping to see the progress for my rig to handle much harder trails as I learn how to start trailing.

so far I’ve added a 2” mopar lift
37’s nitto m/t trail grapplers
And some mopar Beadlock w the ring powder coated to color match

if anyone happens to read this DD pls give input on other mods and brands (I know I’m missing a lot still) , as this is my first jeep, but I’ll get the hang of this

Those are Mopar bead locks (? Simulated) and Mopar does not make a 4” lift (advertised as 2”) but NICE JEEP. Looking sharp!

Awesome Jeep! I just got the Snazzberry Sport S last week and I'm dying to get some new tires and a lift on it. I've been really considering the mopar 2" lift and 37" Nittos. I didn't know that Mopar had a 4" lift but I will look into that because I love your stance. How's the ride compared to stock? Did you regear or do you plan to?

Thank you i appreciate it. The ride at first was a little loose at highway speeds around (80 mph). But I believe that was also just on my part handling, because day two I felt the steering very stock like and did not experience that same looseness ever since. And yes I didn’t know mopar had a 4” lift as well I was originally going to dealer for the 2” but when they gave me the options for lifts. They offered a 4” lift and I jumped on it because I wanted as much clearance I can possibly get with the gladiator having a longer wheelbase than the normal 2 door or 4. And yes I was told that dealership did all re-gearing and leveling when lift was put on.

Just added Posin Spyder Crawler Bumper (steel) . I just felt the plastic stock bumper did not fit the look at all. I have not bought the correct skid plate to match with bumper so for now I put stock skid plate under I dont mind the look of the combo tho to be honest. Also the stock bumper was cutting it pretty close to rubbing when flexing about half way. Fog lights coming soon as I still need to remove harness from stock bumper so they will be put in very soon.

update I think you may be right I’ve been looking more into it and actually don’t know if the dealership was just using a tactic to make a sell. But it might be a two inch lift I’m going next week to get in writing from the technician of what the lift is. Will update my profile if any change. Thanks forbringing this to my attention.

Looks good but yeah there is zero chance that’s a 4” lift from Mopar. It may have been sold to you as such, being that with the lift and tires together lifted it a total of 4” from stock height. The dealer wasn’t being exactly honest if they stated it was a Mopar 4” lift

Okay. Looks great either way! Also, you mentioned that they "did all the regearing and leveling". Unless you paid for new gears and leveling kit then you may be confusing it with an alignment. If you did regear, are you now at 4.10s? ... 4.88s?

Yah okay so finally got all my information after talking with the Dealership and I started pointing all these things out that you guys called out. He started telling the truth, so yes it is 2 inch mopar lift , wheels are beadlock I just need to buy a functional beadlock ring to mount them as true beadlock for now they are simulated.

And no They did not regear I asked about to make sure and he said “he thought they did but it’s still 3.73”. I will be rehearing very soon as I can feel the sluggishness and low mpg with 3.73 right now.

sorry for the chaotic tread not sure on how to delete this one so I can start a new fresh one with correct information from start. Appreciate everyone calling out the misinformation. Very new to this rookie mistake but still love this jeep.

Glad to hear the dealer gave you all the correct info this time. I love the build man. I'm dying to get the mopar lift and new rims/tires myself. Where did you get the simulated mopar rims? I really like the way the rings match the body.

 

[awraynor]

First effort and looks great!

Something small that I like is my dead pedal. Got 1 from Amazon. PiTA to install but well worth my seating/foot comfort Unless you're in a manual.

I got them from Mopars website! And the color match was done by my dealership. One of my favorite things about the Jeep was doing that color match it’s forsure an eye catcher.

this is not the true beadlock that ring is an additional 130 or so I think. But can be converted at any time. And I’m not full blown hardcore off roading right now but will be converting once I am little more experienced.
