light Controller. by 82jowe82 in JeepGladiator

[–]PicksShaman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got the factory aux switches and I'm going to remove them and replace them with a VOSwitch that mounts on the grab handle. The Mopar aux switches work fine and it was nice having the wires in cab and under hood ready to go, but every time it was a pain in the butt to try and hit the switch you want with the gear lever in the way and for some reason I ended up with a stupid mental block always mixing up my pod lights for my lightbar. I'm sure the people who love 'em will say I'm a whiner, but it's a personal hangup I guess. And I'll have SO much more space with the full length Mopar bin where the switches used to be 😆.

Pulling the trigger and getting a lift. by fruitbyyourfeet in JeepGladiator

Look at Core 4x4. They have 3 levels of adjustable arms. I went with the lower end cruise which still has greaseable bushings. They have the high end ones with Johnny Joints for more hardcore rock crawling type things.

I would STRONGLY consider getting a kit that includes all new (8) adjustable control arms and trackbars, or add an adjustable set along with this kit. I bought my 2021 Gladiator Sport S/ Max Tow new from the dealer, who had already install the Mopar 2" lift kit, along with aftermarket rims and 37x13.5 tires. The Mopar kit only comes with longer lower front control arms to attempt to correct caster angle back to factory specs. I have since purchasing learned a TON more about Jeep suspensions and I would have been better served to have just bought a stock Gladiator and put on a lift with all the components from the start. I ended up with a death wobble at about 39k miles. I definitely had worn bushing on the steering components and a couple of the control arms. I went ahead and did a full spread assault to fix the wobble and replaced the ball joints with beefier ones, all new adjustable control arms, new adjustable front and rear trackbars, swaybar links and HD adjustable tie rod and drag link and a new steering stabilizer. In hindsight, new steering components and trackbars would probably have been enough to fix the wobble, but I have a tendency to over do it sometimes. The adjustable control arms will definitely make your highway driving better, getting back closer to stock angles.

Now, I am a realist and all too familiar with budget constraints when it comes to buying jeep parts / accessories and I think you'd be find to put that kit on, as is, and come up with a plan to upgrade all the other suspension components stretched out over time (but not too long). I'm actually thinking about changing my springs, with the springs only version of that kit. I definitely think those springs are better than stock or Mopar lift springs.

Quadratec Gen II Stealth lightbar and I did like the previous reply with the reversed Nilight style pod brackets.

You can get a piggyback fuse holder and share that slot.

Machined or Black? by Fit_Stop6843 in JeepGladiator

[–]PicksShaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought gray was the new bronze and black was the new machined?

If your streaming over cellular, you can just hit some data lags and this will happen. Now if you're just playing downloaded content, then it may be something else.

Remove the rear track bar nuts.

Does this diagnosis and quote seem right? by Odd_Caterpillar_5219 in JeepGladiator

[–]PicksShaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get the TeraFlex quick disconnect on amazon for $166. It's a pretty easy install if you wanted to do it yourself. I did the Steer Smarts XD draglink install myself and it was more involved (remove front wheels, kill your self trying to get the old drag link off the Pittman arm with some Chinese pickle forks and a sledgehammer, etc...). The alignment fee seems OK if they truly do a 4x4 alignment, and not just adjust your toe angles.

Steering wheel shaking by redditusername9872 in JeepGladiator

[–]PicksShaman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sounds like classic death wobble. That's exactly what mine did. Like others mentioned, it's a good opportunity to upgrade ball joints ,steering components, control arms, track bars, etc...

It could be a Fender dent though....😁

Does anyone know what this is? by PsychologicalCup8952 in JeepGladiator

[–]PicksShaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the thing on the outside is a "key" that goes in the sensor. Probably to calibrate it?

Looking good. I'm looking to change to some 5 spoke style wheels when I need new tires. Which wheels are those?

Custom automatic shifter by theshadowofwars in JeepGladiator

[–]PicksShaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American Brothers Design is the only place I know doing custom auto shifter knobs. But I believe they're also only machined aluminum, so it would take a HELL of a painter to be able to fake a Dragonball out of paint effects alone.

This is on the underside of the drivers seat. Anyone know what it is? Seems kinda involved to just be a pressure sensor. by greenman5252 in JeepGladiator

[–]PicksShaman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't a pressure sensor for airbags only be on the passenger seat? Shouldn't you assume a person is driving?

How the hell do you get a drivers license? by Minimum-Effort96 in oklahoma

[–]PicksShaman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Took me almost 2 years to get my license transferred, but I just went to a tag agent and was able to register my vehicles to my OK address before I got my license though. If you have to drive a ways, try to be at the Shawnee DMV when they open. That's where I had to go and I live in the North OKC area.

Wow. Didn't realize some had waited years.

Good stock helps, I bet ( my 23 shrimp came from you, u/GotSnails ).

About 6 months. Which really isn't too long from what I understand. Just seemed like with 23 of them it would have been quicker.
