if you are doing RTO events, absolutely get the quick adjusters. You'll be able to tune your shocks for trail running/street driving, then when you hit the RTO events, you'll be able to quickly dial in all of the rebound that you have for the jumps. ( you want your rebound cranked as far as...

they bind, just like everyone else's with extended shackles. yes, I'd seen it in person on multiple trucks. In one scenario, it actually ruined someone's baja trip because it handled so poorly. Plus, Rogue racing is a trash company run by crooks. I don't care if they released a new suspension...

well, I guess the good news ( for my wallet ) is that I've pretty much run out of real estate for lighting. I guess I'll have to wait until I get going on the new prerunner for the TT to call you :P (I'm planning to build a new truck to support the CY21 race year. going racing in a new TT...

the factory rubber bump stops are a much harder durometer and really aren't designed to handle what any truck needs when "airing it out". They are designed to deter metal to metal contact. Helio Muiro tried not doing bump cans. Now while he didn't tweak the frame as many gen1 owners did, he...

I did the lights on my raptor before the LP series was available, but I have them on my super duty and they work well. I've gotten most of my lights from Adam at 4x4truckleds . He always gives me the right price and the lights arrive faster than I expect every time.

so I think about it this way... The mirrors on a raptor are no further apart than those on a regular f-150. No matter where you're "squeezing" the truck, it is in all actuality just as wide as a regular f-150. I was kinda shocked by how "skinny" my F-250 looks and feels compared to my...

not for a single solitary minute in the dirt. Others have given it a whirl. Generally, the outcome has been damaging the frame enough that when attempting to install a bump kit at a later date, a difficult time was had when trying to complete the install due to frame deformation.

Texas Motorworx built the large majority of my truck. ( whatever they didn't do, I did myself). you can absolutely trust that they can do an excellent job on all things raptor, including a cobb stage 2 set up.

If I were you, Id try to give Corey ( The Owner of RPG) a call and verify that he's tested the fitment with icon springs.

btw. you have the shackles on backwards.

extended length shackles will: Shorten spring life Shorten driveshaft life Create the potential for increased spring wrap They are not compatible with traction bars. The extended shackles allow the rear axle to move a few inches farther forward during droop travel to gain the additional...

yeah, that ain't gonna work. Edit: shackles are on backwards.

I think it is worth talking to baja kits and RPG. I also think that it is worth talking to ADD about the same thing. RPG, Baja Kits, Camburg or ADD should not only be able to give you the extended and compresed measurements, but realistically, they should be able to give you the spec that they...

i still kick myself in the ass for not picking up a cherry CJ-6 that I came across about 15 years ago. It was a retired USMC vehicle and still had bullet holes in the side of it. I'd still rather have an LJ over a gladiator, but the LJ prices have gone through the roof lately.

The press reviews that Ive watched have made it sound like The Mojave is a night and day difference when compared to the gladiator rubicon. That makes me a little curious. I can see how one of these on 37s might be a pretty cool option for slightly slower paced Baja runs, or as a class...

so you've driven one of the not-yet-available Gladiator Mojave Edition trucks with the fox shocks and offroad+ mode? I can't even find one at a dealer anywhere in the US.

I really want to drive one of the new jeep gladiator mojave trucks in the desert. I have a feeling it might feel like driving a golf cart with a lift kit when compared to driving my truck, but I still think it might be a hoot.

Most gen2 owners will sell you their take-offs for less than a rebuild costs. The gen2 shocks would be a pretty good upgrade. if someone else wont, I'll cut you a deal on mine.

ok, let me more direct and clear. Mishimoto quality is less than ideal. The diatribe about the overflow tank was to illustrate the lack of attention to design and detail, including materials, that mishimoto shows their products. In short: Anything before mishimoto. Buy the highest...

icon uses a different military wrap to their springs than deaver. any company making shackles has generally redesigned their shackles to work with the icon springs. depending on how long ago you purchased the shackles, there is a high probability that they are the redesigned version that...

mob armor . 100% 6 baja runs and about 10K dirt miles on my current mount and my phone hasn't ever moved from the mount unless I pull it off.

i can say it, because I don't sell parts or have to worry about what mishimoto thinks of my commentary... I would use any other option out there before mishimoto. Same goes for their overflow tank. Whoever is designing mishimoto parts tends to forget about the properties of the materials...

From the icon perspective, They believe that if you get to the point that you want or need a secondary bypass up front, the rear should be shock through bed with a bypass rack so the front and rear suspensions are "matched", which is spot on to what I've come to learn. The Gen1 version that IVD...

With the RXTs. because of the way they mount, they actually improve the shock geometry and allow for additional travel. Gen2s can cycle up to about 20-21" ( full droop to full bump) when the shock mounts are set up right (through bed) with factory length shackles when the SVC adjustable bump...

people used to go apeshit over a 67 Ford Osi that I owned for a little while. I was actually shocked by how many people knew what it was. ( they never imported them to the U.S.). I bought it from a farmer, out of a barn in Tennessee. I didn't know what it was when I bought it, I just knew it...
