Wheels are KMC Riot 17x9 with a -12 offset. The lift is a Mopar/Fox 2" lift with a Yeti adjustable track bar. On any model except the Rubicons or Mojaves, you actually get closer to a 3 1/2" lift in front with the Mopar kit. I also added RC 3/4" leveling spacers in the front to get rid of some of the rake.

Especially the D44. research the Oil Pump Drive Assembly (OPDA) problems specific to 2005-2006. It's a $100 part preventative fix. I had mine start to act up and caught it in time. |

Changing it with the Crown replacement was one of the first things I did. First I’ve heard of this. I just recently picked up a 2004 TJ with the 4.0. It’s got 106k on it. The oil pressure gauge drops to low pressure at times and then goes right back up. Does it randomly. No noise of any sort. Does this sound like a symptom of the OPDA failing? |

Ya know, IMO GD it too famous for its ole "if they'd only build a -insert your choice- vehicle I'd buy it" bellyaching, but with the Jeep Gladiator it actually seems to have happened, and folks actually did buy em.

Nice looking TJ! With the 6 speed, change the oil to RedLine MTL. I also add a moly additive. The 6 speeds have reverse gear issues. Never put it into reverse with the vehicle moving. I also change the oil every 1-2 years. It’s excessive but mine works pretty good compared to all the complaints out there. Your PCM WILL crap out. Guaranteed. It’s not if but when. If you have oxygen sensor heater circuit codes….well it’s started. WranglerFix (google it) is the only fix. Not cheap but the only viable solution. You already got the OPDA covered so that’s good. |

IMO it's nice to see so many Gladiators and folks enjoying em. In the past in GD, the ole "if they'd only build "x" I would buy one" was usually just silly bullshit, but gosh darnit, with the Gladiator it rang true, and folks actually DID buy em.

| I'm a TJ guy, but the Gladiator has grown on me after wheeling w them and seeing how they can be fixed up w the racks and RTT's. Yeah, there's an approach/departure angle thing, but on the flip side it doesn't take much to get them on 35's. Or 37's but I'd want to regear. |

Did you get it with the Bilstein shocks or something else? Have a TJ now but looking for a JKU or maybe a JLU in the next couple months and it’ll need a lift unless the previous owner put one on (and did it right). Also a buddy of mine will be doing a lift on his JKU in a few months and we are both looking at the 2.5 inch AEV lifts. Will be doing 33s or maybe a max of 35s. We don’t do any extreme trails so a 2.5 inch lift will be perfect. Mainly back roads and some occasional rocky/muddy trails. Thanks. |
