Your favorite cant live without mod

Do you have a pic of the flaps installed? I would love to avoid the rocks flinging at my paint but I also dont want to look like a 70's Audi rally car

I don't think a 70s rally car is a good comparison because modern rally cars use mud flaps, too. Land Rovers, especially 110s, are a more appropriate example and their global legendary status speaks for itself. To me, splash guards indicate you are considerate of other cars behind you in addition to self-preservation. Also, Rokblokz has, IIRC, six different sizes/profiles so you can get smaller ones that don't look as obtrusive.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say:

The Shorty Antenna!

A shorter antenna was on my list and then I took a tape measure and noticed that the OEM antenna is the same height as the folded soft top and a great indicator that I will or won't fit in a parking garage.

How would you describe the difference in sound level with the top open versus the Freedom Panels removed? Also, do you park your vehicle indoors? I do not have a garage; I wonder how the top holds up and if there are any leaking issues from being open to the elements continually. Thank you in advance.

sound isn't much different or at least as far as i can remember. i park in a garage at night but it sits out in the sun in houston for about 10 hours/day. and it actually leaks less than it did with the freedom panels.

it's a no brainer if you don't want a soft top.

Sterlite Plastic Storage Cube 9" x 73/4 from WalMart $0.97. It usually has a liner but I took it off for clarity. Lift the seat, place the bin, set the seat down on it. Perfect fit.

WARNING to anyone with a JTR and the underseat AR case, i got this off Amazon (think it's the same) and it won't fit because of the AR case (or whatever they call it).

Sorry. That sucks.

Without a doubt, upgrading my Rubicon Take-off shocks to the Falcon Piggyback Adjustable shocks.

Ordering a lift kit and trying to decide on a shocks. These are on my list. Have you had them before? Any feedback? Appreciate the help.

I've had them installed on my Gladiator for 3 weeks now and the more I have them the more I love them. I have them set up a bit softer in the back and I do washboards and trail roads at 40mph easy, but also drive like a sports car on curvy roads too. I said they were my favorite already, I'll re-iterate. This is the first time I've had Teraflex/Falcon shocks, previously had Metalcloak on my old JKU. Those weren't bad, but these are amazing.

I can relate as well...
I'm still looking for a M1 carbine bayonet. I've got 3 M1 Garand bayonets 2 WW2 vintage and post WW2 one that was issued to a friend who passed away.

Dang I need to get back down to CMP again.

Is that one of the fabled "tankers"?

Thanks! Did you get the SP2 3.3 Fast Adjustment or the SP2 3.1 Piggyback shocks?

I figured "cry once" and I went with the 3.3... I prefer being able to easily adjust. If you have to disconnect the bottom bolt to switch from hard to soft then I will never, or rarely do it. I knew that if I got the 3.1 I would end up buying the upgrade kit to turn them into 3.3 later, so might as well just do it now.

I can't wait until the steering stabilizer ships, it's a 4 month wait so I ordered them before the shocks.

Sweet - thanks! I agree with the cry once philosophy. Just placed the order the 3.3 shocks and the Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 Fast adjust steering stabilizer. Thanks for the feedback! It is just a few more hours of OT….

Well, just stroll in, pimp slap the thread and make me hella jealous why don’t ya? Man that would make the Gladiaor pretty much perfect I think. I don’t want a 6.4, I feel those don’t fit the character well. A 5.7 is more a truck motor IMO. Great mod brother!

Thats the way I see it.

What springs did you go with? Lift height?
