Thanks man!! That means a lot. I am glad you are enjoying it

I can’t speak for anyone else but my remote start works perfectly

Yes I did have a tazer installed when I did this

@@Vikingoff-Road Thanks for sharing this video and your response 👍

Yeah absolutely. Hope it helped

No apologies needed bud, so the fender chop brackets I used were the Artec ones artecindustries.com/products/jl-front-fender-chop-kit-brackets-rubicon?variant=41410990014670&currency=USD&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADx9_p54cSQzz-K_fq4ZwHJfqVZl6&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkcD-lPqFiAMVIimtBh1uyC0wEAQYAiABEgIRRPD_BwE And as far as the best top fender liners. I am yes. I mean for me I was looking for one already powder coated black. I liked the way the rear ones looked inside. But yes ultimately I am happy with them i have had a lot of offroad driving and they have held up great for the last 10 months. I did hear they quit making them. Not sure if that is true or not

Thank you! It is a game changer!!! In looks and clearance

My man!!

Thank ya. I have a Skydio 2+. It does really good but has some draw backs for sure

Hell yeah brotha thanks!!!

Yeah lil bit haha

Yeah man it’s crazy what they do or think. I am sure part of it is we need to make so they have to bring it back to the shop for work to be done but part of it is also not knowing. It reminds of working in the metal shop with draftsman that never have. And they detail things out that are impossible to build. Simply because they are uneducated in practical matters

Haha it was fun!!!

I did not have to redrill the holes for the mounting bars. And I did not have to trim them. I could have but chose to too. That tent is an Overland Vehicle Systems TMBK. Size closed : 57”x49.5”x11” Size open : 56.5”x 94.5”x50.35” Sleeping footprint: 94.5”x55.25” All dimensions from their website.

@Vikingoff-Road , thanks for responding and answering my questions!

@SaltySeabee no worries hope the information helped

Yessir. I also found that the rasp is designed to twist in for easier insertion the first time. But the lube helps for sure!!

Yessir!!

Blessings to you as well. I actually found that one on Amazon. I am not a huge fan of that one after using it. I would get one that doesn’t have replaceable tips. Cause they work loose.

I think the best option for RWD is a little better planning and what I mean by that is use them more than you might need them. If there is a place that you might need them, then use them to be safe. Also you can get a small shovel and bring. I know people who pack a spade specifically for digging under tires to put these boards in

thanks for the information!, I have KO2 btw if that helps but no modifications for my 2018 4runner 2WD. I'm thinking going that route actually, traction board and shovel

@dslrjunkie the KO twos are a really good tire to trouble. You’ll have 2 Wheel Dr. it just be when you get to a point where you need a little articulation as soon as one tire comes off that becomes your drive tire and that’s where you’ll spend so plan just plan a little bit ahead and use them even when you’re not sure and you should be good.

Yeah if you remove it you would definitely need to re install before going to the dealership for service. $600 is a lot but hopefully you won’t have anymore problems

I did yes. I had a spare and an air compressor and had 30 miles of highway to travel. Didn’t want any other problems. So I fixed it.

Not sure anymore. I think at that time he had a 3.5” lift with method headlocks and 39” BFG’s. It is @crawllander build he would be the best one to ask. I know now it is in the middle of a getting a motorbike bed bob kit

I do love my 3.6 this is my second one. My first was a 2013 jk that I traded in for the Gladiator with 175k miles two years ago and now have 67k miles on my 2022 JT

I don’t believe so. That was on the qualifying lap 2 or 3 years ago. I wanna say that was up back behind the “Bronco” arch

Oh

Most definitely! I hate plugging tires cause it’s not as easy as you would think with there already being a hole there

That is a good thought. I have disconnected the battery and that didn’t fix anything and I do know it takes time to reset some things. I will try that tonight and leave it off all night.

You most likely will need to take it to a Jeep dealership and have them flash the IPC. There are some software updates to correct this. Should be free of charge.

Thank you for this info. I was hoping that isn’t what I needed to do but I have had a few people tell me this now. So I will be unmarrying the tazer and heading to the dealership. Thank you

Even when they aren’t on? That is interesting. I’m only ever said service locker and I couldn’t turn it on and it would show disconnected, but it will also show that I needed to service them

@Vikingoff-Road yeah they are not engaged. I got the by pass on the rear and it's still the same thing. I'm thinking of putting th by pass on the front to see if that will clear it up. Or I may have to get a second by-pass. I only get flashing when I got to engage the lockers and try to turn them off.

That is so interesting. I’ve never heard this side of it. Yeah I would try putting the bypass up front and see if that helps. If it does you might not need two.

@@Vikingoff-Road welp! Switching it to the front fixed it!!.

Well that is a good thing never heard of it on the front but I am glad that it worked for you!

Good note, thank you. I might have to try that in my next one

I am not sure about a JL side of it. To my knowledge that is the only model that came with the eTorque motor. The gladiators came with 3.6 liter pentastar and later with the 3.0 liter eco-diesel. The JL I believe had the ETorque with the 2.0 liter turbo.

Awesome. I like the sound of that sleeper!

That is awesome. I am a big fan of AGM batteries. And for me I would stick with a week known brand and you should be good

Dang that sucks. I’m sorry to hear that

@@Vikingoff-Road did ur turn on ro or stayed off?

Mine has not turned back on. So hopefully it continues to not turn back on. Maybe your main battery is no good?

@@Vikingoff-Road thanks for ur video

Your welcome. Thanks for watching hope it helped a little

Yes! Well lemme clarify by saying there have been times when I wish the bed was an extra foot longer. For packing stuff. And there are times where I wish the cab was longer also. I’m 6’5” so it gets tight in a Jeep sometimes.

OK cause the four-door bronco two that I’m working on building I measured the wheelbase cause I felt like it was really long and I’m actually 6 1/2 inches longer wheelbase than a gladiator so I wanted an opinion on how it does off-road that makes me feel a little bit better about the build. I felt like it was way too long. If I could add a photo, I would send you a photo of it because I know. You were interested in it when we ran into each other at Maverick

Yeah, there are definitely times were a lot longer. I want it shorter. You can always send me a picture on Instagram under viking off-road.

There is some on it on my RUclips channel as well

Thanks brotha

Yes it does for me

I have left mine in

Personally I agree still not sure why they do it, to be honest. About the only thing I can think of is that now a days with all the electronic components that are involved with them. They are trying to split the load on the battery.

@@Vikingoff-Road That, and a weak attempt to improve mpg numbers.

You are probably not wrong. I wondering if they get a discount or a kick back from Uncle Sam to do it that way

I would say for sure for about 95% of it but there is the one side on the back side that would require some serious driving. Depending on the weight and size it would be doable.

Great comment and I actually tried to but because of the modifications I had made already they said they wouldn’t warranty it. So this was my option. But good comment. And I agree if your Jeep is stock with no mods then warranty it for sure.

It work for the stopping that action but would it work for getting the light on the dash to stop blinking? I honestly don’t know

@@Vikingoff-Road we'll see. My wife is getting her 2023 gladiator today. I've had the eliminator in my wrangler for three years now with no issues. Either way I'm saving your video just in case. Excellent work brother.

Thank you and I hope it works out perfectly for you!!

It’s the only way I was aware of after doing my research

It wasn’t but it is now lol

Yeah it wasn’t out of warranty but it is now with the miles. That is the hard way of taking the aux battery out?

Yeah, it was pretty bad

There was a line of mud covered rigs at the car wash. We weren’t alone.

Truth!!

Would explain all the car washes in Utah.

I did use a few but mostly my local one out in Stansbury park. He welcomes off-roaders with a little clean up of the stall after.
