    What do you guys think of the new Jeep Gladiator?

    I dig it. If this had come out when I was buying, I would have seriously consider it.

    6” lifts thread

    I think I spent around $7500 but I didn’t regear. I’m on the stock 4.3 gears which seems fine except 6th gear is useless, unless you’re going 70 or above which I never do lol.

    Crawl control

    Atrac works very well in the soft sand we have in Hawaii. The Offroad can get out where the sports get stuck.

    Hot!!!!

    It’s hot here in Hawaii too. 90 degrees!

    Sway bar. Keep or toss it?

    But why would it not make a difference on a truck with a diff drop? I guess I’ll just have to do it and find out. ?‍♂️

    Sway bar. Keep or toss it?

    Just asking anyone who has done it and experience with it off.

    Sway bar. Keep or toss it?

    Does it compress a lot more in the front with it off?
  11. Kurupt_Hawaiian

    Sway bar. Keep or toss it?

    Since I have the Fox coilovers with dual speed compression, I can make the fronts stiffer for road driving and change it to soft when Offroad. That should be good enough right? I haven’t removed the sway bar yet but I think I might do it some time soon when I’m not feeling too lazy.

    Lying to spouse about cost of mods

    I’ll say a part is a little cheaper than it actually is, until I buy it then she sees how much it actually is lol. But she already caught on to the pattern since we’ve been together forever. So she knows what’s up already.

    What grinds my gears

    I use to do that with my old bmw all the time Lol.
  18. Kurupt_Hawaiian

    What grinds my gears

    If I try to shift into gear without pushing in the clutch. That’ll grind my gears.

    4x4 light blinking and not engaging

    The dealer won’t fix it?
  20. Kurupt_Hawaiian

    4x4 light blinking and not engaging

    I’d take it to the dealer and have them check it out under warranty.
  21. Kurupt_Hawaiian

    4x4 light blinking and not engaging

    It has to shift into 4hi first to shift into 4lo. Try driving a little forward while in 4hi first until it engages. Then you have to be at a complete stop in neutral to shift into 4lo. I have a manual but I believe it’s pretty much the same thing.

    6” lifts thread

    I totally agree and it’s not for everyone. I almost went with an icon stage 4 lift but my wife really likes the look of a 6” lift and swayed me to go bigger lol. So I looked around and found that BDS was a really nice kit for 6” lift that looked like was decent for off-road use too.

    6” lifts thread

    I never did bust out a measuring tape but we looked at my front diff next to a friends front diff with a 3” lift and they were about the same height. But I’m not saying 6” lift is better for off-road use. For the off-roading that I do, it does it’s job with no issues. I don’t go out and do any...

    6” lifts thread

    Very simple. 6” BDS coilovers w/dsc suspension lift. 18x9-12et black rhino wheels with 35x12.5 Firestone Destination mt2’s. The bds lift does come with rear blocks though, which I do plan on upgrading leaf springs to get rid of the blocks. Other than that BDS is awesome.

    6” lifts thread

    Also. If he wants to go off road he will still need a cmc and minor trimming, and hammering of the pinch weld. I still needed to do all that to get rid of the rubbing.

    6” lifts thread

    I wheel with my 6” lift on 35’s. I have the 6” BDS coilover lift. But I go everywhere and even more than the 3” lift dudes here go. A lot of them even tell me they wish they went 6”. Clearance with the front is about the same as a 3” lift, but I get more clearance everywhere else.

    What else do you guys drive?

    I still drive my 2007 Audi A4 2.0T 6mt that I bought brand new in 07. It was my first brand new car and I’m pretty attached to it. It’s been nothing but great to me. Average about 30mpg too.

    Running 35s

    I have 35’s but on a 6” BDS lift. Still did an aggressive CMC and minor fender trimming for clearance when off roading. My brother just snapped this photo yesterday when he was driving behind me.

    Running 35's: Is it painful, and if it is, was it worth it?

    That truck makes those tires look small lol.
  41. Kurupt_Hawaiian

    Running 35's: Is it painful, and if it is, was it worth it?

    Lol. 37’s would be dope, but I’m happy with 35’s. I still use my truck as a daily driver. Lol. Just bought it in January and I already almost got 7k miles. Lol

    Running 35's: Is it painful, and if it is, was it worth it?

    Nah the diff drop makes the cv axles straight.
  43. Kurupt_Hawaiian

    Running 35's: Is it painful, and if it is, was it worth it?

    Just some minor plastic trimming and a small part of the front bumper where it would hit on compression while turning.

    What’s up, where you all at?
  45. Kurupt_Hawaiian

    Running 35's: Is it painful, and if it is, was it worth it?

    I got 35x12.5’s with a 6” lift and I still needed to do a cmc to be able to drive off road without rubbing.
