Wehring - Just wanted to say it is great to see a person focused on finding a solution that works for themselves and is willing to go through the effort to offer it to others. Look forward to reading you have "sold out" and a second batch is in production. Cheers

Appreciate the response. In regards to the Gladiator and how you are using it...are there any factory options you have you would not get again or anything you did not get on your Jeep you wish it had? Asking as I am going over the build sheet on mine from the dealer (order to be placed in the...

Awesome rig...and looking at your photos clinched I am going with white vs. "Sting Gray". Few questions for you if I may... How is the offset on those Method's and the 37's with the 2" lift? Anything rubbing under full compression / flex with the sway bar disconnected? Did you do anything...

No affiliation with the seller but this just looks cool. Hoping someone makes a new home for it.... https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/cto/d/saint-paul-jeep-cj5-camper/7211779873.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn, a lot of rig for the $$$$. Wish you the best with the sale.

We looked out of rust belt states for several months, issue was by the time I could arrange a flight to “fly and drive” the trucks were gone; but going to keep trying. The ones in our area for sale rarely have the frame replaced via recall; maybe 1 on 15 that come for sale and the rest all seem...

Well, hate to say it but the build is not going to happen. Short version, every turn we found more and more wrong with this truck, so much so the investment to make it what we wanted plus the base level repairs needed (just in parts) was getting well beyond reasonable, so the dealer has agreed...

Thanks Sean, and planning to...got the parts list pretty much completed today and ordering stuff starts tomorrow (going to be in 3-4 phases as the list grew a bit). Anyone have a preferred OEM parts source / website to buy from? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

blueranger501 - Thanks for the '06 DC tip...checking that out right now.

Great video, Diablo blades it will be. Thanks!

Yeah, thinking the cam bolts are going to be junk. How big of a PITA is it if that sleeve is seized up...heat it up and a punch / chisel work? 100% agree...the 'must haves' before the 'want to haves' will be the order of what gets done. Also, anyone running the 9550 TR CVJ Axles? Wondering...

Yeah, he would love to stuff 4.56's and some ARB's in the diffs but we have a decent list of repairs and maintenance to take care of already...which I will ask for input on the following which we planning to tackle other the next several weeks... Rack and pinion and high pressure lines - Is...

Thanks for all the input, appreciate it. Few responses... Agree on the "looks" of the 285's and recognize this is not a Prius, more so trying to get him to think beyond 5 seconds ahead that tire choices will impact MPG and his monthly cashflow (every part of this build he needs to learn...

Agreed on the “minimal” difference in going 265/75R16’s...the debate in the household has been more about factoring in how much worse the MPG impact will be going to 285’s. Also, keeping it stock was certainly the initial plan for the exact reasons mentioned, however based on the items...
