@raheemdaya9055 Thanks! If you're talking about the red/amber marker lights, I have a whole video dedicated to those. Feel free to check that out for the details, and let me know if you have any questions.

Dang, since December? That's quite some time. I still love it. The ride is better than factory. No wallowing or sway, regardless of the situation. It's exactly what I was looking for. Admittedly, the ride in the rear is a tiny bit firmer than I'd like when unloaded. I opted for the HD rear springs. On the other hand, it rides perfectly when loaded down, so that's a reasonable tradeoff for me. Overall, I'd make the same choice again without hesitation. Hope you enjoy it!

@@TerraOutdoors nice. I opted for the HD springs as well. I have a shell and all the gear. Plus I just got my OGT Expedition trailer which is what really prompted the urgency to get the lift on. I’ll be posting about it soon. Yeah, long time but I’m a trucker so to me that was like a couple weeks ago. Lol

@@TerraFirmaX Haha, nice. Yeah, I suppose that's true. I'm certainly not mad about going with the HD springs. I'd rather have a slightly harsher ride unloaded than be unsafe when loaded. I also run SumoSpring bump stop replacements in the rear, and they've been great.

I had heard there were some negative reviews here and there, but the suspicion on forums and whatnot was that it came from improper installation. From my experience, Clayton reviews have been mostly positive. I don't have anything bad to say about the kit, myself. Easy install, and it has performed flawlessly. I love the adjustable shocks. If I could change one thing, I *may* go with softer springs in the rear. I upgraded to the HD because of my setup. It rides perfect when loaded down for a trip, but it's a bit stiff daily driving. All in all, I'd say don't hesitate if you're in the market for a kit.

@@TerraOutdoors I really appreciate the response. I went ahead and ordered it…. Minus the HD rear springs. Still deciding on shocks. Thanks!

@noneckjoe948 No problem at all. Nice! I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've heard great things about Fox as well, so I'm sure you can't go wrong with either. Enjoy!

Just look up Clayton's Gladiator Overland Plus kits. That should give you all the available options.

Just a personal choice, really. Mainly for isolation and vibration. I figured it may help, since it's not flush mounted like it was on the rollbar.

Ok thanks. So I just finished my install and my reception is crap in that same spot - Almost as bad as under the rack in the original spot!

@@cdnjeepoverland Oof. I've had some intermittent issues when driving north--I imagine because the satellites are off to my south, and the signal is trying to reach back through my vehicle--but overall it was a drastic improvement for me, personally.

@@TerraOutdoors I might just mount the antenna to the actual rack. Another day.

@@cdnjeepoverland I've considered doing that myself. I'll update here if I ever get around to it.

I don't have an RSI roof rack. They're both Frontrunner racks. The over-the-cab rack is a JT-specific kit that drills through the roof and attaches to the roll bars, and also ties in to the cowl bolts with supports on the front side. Feel free to check out my build walkaround video for additional details. I believe I cover it in decent depth over there.

Nice! Glad it worked out!

At the time of this video, it was a stock Rubicon suspension on 35s. Today, it's on 37s with a Clayton 2.5" lift kit, Falcon 3.3s, HD rear springs, and SumoSprings bump stops replacements. No noticeable sag from just the cap on either suspension setup. If I recall, it barely weighs 100 lb and is pretty well distributed. I was able to put it on my back like a turtle shell and step up into the bed to mount it.

Thank you so much for the reply!!! I really appreciate it. Your videos have been a huge help throughout my spec’ing and build.

@JamesMcGinn14 For sure. Glad to hear they've helped! Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions, and if you want a closer look at my current suspension setup, check out the Clayton video I posted a while back. 👍🏽

Please disregard my last message if you saw it. I somehow managed to completely miss the part number that you posted... I added the rack prior to Frontrunner coming out with a specific kit. I ordered the universal canopy tray, sized 1425mm(W) X 1358mm(L), part number RRSTJ07; a set of their RSI-specific track inserts, part number RRAC921; and a set of the 70-80mm feet, part number FASS013. It fits well, and I have had zero issues since install. If I did it again today, I would just fire and forget on the rack kit that you mentioned, since I imagine it is an all-in-one kit.

Edit: I checked the instructions, and I don't see a min/max range as you mentioned. Clayton gives a specific target value for each height of lift. That's what I used. For the 2.5" Lift Front lowers: 24.336" Front uppers: 20.272" Rear lowers: 23.962" Rear uppers: 16.577" Front track bar: 34.090" Rear track bar: 33.869" Obviously, those are pretty dang precise. Mine aren't exactly that, but I got them as close as I could and made sure all matching components were even in length.

Happy to help!

Nice! I loved the area. I did consider that but ultimately decided that I wasn't feeling that bold, especially in the rain. I knew I could get back up the track behind me, but the way ahead was looking pretty sketchy. I still had a blast either way!

Appreciate it! I like it a lot. It has been used and you can tell, but the deck is still holding up very well and hasnt worn through anywhere. No signs of stress/damage anywhere. It adds a lot of value and utility to the bed, I think. You do lose a little bit of vertical space, but being able to slide out my fridge, my sleeping gear, my kitchen, my spare clothes, my lantern, etc., all at once, is very handy vs. just a fridge slide. I wouldn't change my choice!

Those Ursa Minor units are incredibly cool. I'm still holding out hope they may make one for the JT. They claimed they would. We'll see! Appreciate it! FYI, I do notice some hiccups when driving basically due north, I assume because the antenna is trying to "reach back" to the south through my front roof rack/solar panel. It is performing far better than it was before, however. I went from having reception maybe 10% of the time (on a good day) to 95% of the time. That's a win to me!

At this point, yes. I never experienced rub, and I ran this wheel/tire/suspension setup for over 3 years.

I took them off at around 40,000 miles (I went up in size). No major complaints. I never got them into any significant snow accumulation--6" to 8" tops. They're decidedly not winter tires, but they performed well enough in every situation I threw at them.

The product page says they're GIIRO dual durometer, self-centering joints.

@@TerraOutdoors Thanks!

@@jerrymcgeorge4117 No problem!

Thanks, Joe! Admittedly, I never noticed any huge issues with GPS. It was mainly the Sirius. I'm sure it couldn't hurt to do the relocation, though!

That definitely sounds like the best option for your road conditions up there! I really would like to try out some dedicated winter tires on the Gladiator someday. Appreciate the kind words!

I don't think you'll be disappointed! It's the best purchase that I've made for the Gladiator to date.

It's far better than it was before. The steering doesn't feel like it's on rails or anything, and it's not comparable to a standard passenger sedan or SUV, but it's comfortable enough for me.

Appreciate it! I really do try to be better about posting more frequently. Life is crazy, though!

Appreciate it! Even before the lift (just 35s), I couldn't get into the garage with the tent on. There's no chance now, unfortunately.

Thanks for the quick reply and info. I’m considering a gladiator to replace my 2015 JKUR. Fitting into garage is a nice to have but not essential

@JR-ro5kv No problem! Yeah, it definitely is nice. Some day, I'll have a large enough garage/workshop!

It *can* be safe, but here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. Be careful airing down in the cold. If you park in a garage and your tires are warm at the time you air down, once your tires cool down, your tire pressure may drop significantly more than you expected. A good rule of thumb is to plan for 1 PSI drop per 10 degrees F drop in temperature. Your target of 10 PSI could end up becoming 6 PSI, for example. This unexpected drop could create a dangerous conditions. 2. You may need specialized wheels, such as beadlocks, for tire pressures that low. The lowest that I personally go without beadlocks is around 15 PSI. The safe amount will vary based on your vehicle weight and your tires. 3. Puncture resistance may be slightly reduced, but in general, you shouldn't have any issues aired down on mild-moderate terrain. Having said all of that: 4. If we're talking winter tires and not all-terrain, you shouldn't really need to air them down. Winter tires are designed to provide superior grip in winter conditions at road pressure. Ultimately, be sure to refer to the tire manufacturer's guidance to determine safe operating limits.

Oh, dang, that sucks! I thought they were a relatively new company? I had my eye on those as well, but ultimately decided to go with the RSI for various reasons. No regrets!

For sure! Happy it helped!

It does (did). No issues! I actually have a new tent and awning setup now, and there are no issues with that one either.

I've used those before on other jobs (both successfully and unsuccessfully) and speaking from that experience, there is a 0% chance that those types of compressors would have been effective on these. Those struggle with light duty spring jobs: these springs were too tall, and far, far too stiff.

Yup, that's correct. Sorry for the irregular content schedule. Unfortunately, between a family, full-time job+, and two concurrent graduate degree programs, I haven't had nearly enough free time to make videos (or even get out and camp...) on a regular basis. I've been trying to carve out more time for a while now, as I really do enjoy putting these videos together for you guys. I'm hoping to put together a couple of snow camping/wheeling videos this winter and a build update in the near future. Fingers crossed, I can start working on those within the next month or two. Thanks for checking out the content!

@@TerraOutdoors Totally understandable. Enjoy life and get things done you you and yours!. However, if you ever get a chance to post a walk around or some pics showing how the lift looks it would be awesome. I am at the stage where I am making my decisions and your rig and such is very close to what I have and what I plan with my red Rubicon.. It would be a perfect example so would love to see the result a little better.

@johngeers4023 Appreciate it! I really do need to do that. I've had a great experience with the lift thus far. The ride and aesthetics are top tier, in my opinion. There are a couple of creaks and clunks here and there, but nothing abnormal (to my lnowledge). I've also since moved up to 37s (from the 35s in the video). I plan on putting together a brief impressions video of that change as well. Hope you have an excellent New Year!

Tell me about it. 😂 I didn't look into the sizes beforehand, and that was all I had on hand to make it happen at the time. Rookie move.

@@TerraOutdoors Hey man, sometimes you gotta make do. You'd be surprised what I can rebuild in the middle of the desert with a rock and a pair of pliers Thanks for the great vid, just ordered the same kit

@@TerraFirmaX That's the truth. Desperate times call for desperate measures! As long as it gets the job (safely) done. For sure, thanks for checking it out. Hope the kit treats you well! I'm a big fan so far.

Hi there! The Jetboil comes with a fuel regulator. You hook that to the Jetboil, and then attach a standard propane hose between the tank and the fuel regulator. No special equipment required!

Thanks man! Certainly no regrets. I think it's the best all-around cap out there. The only thing I'd improve are the latches. They're sturdy, and have great action to them, but they suck (get stuck/jammed) in the cold.

I'm not sure if there's a specific question wrapped up in here to be addressed! There are some talking points though. I don't understand the vent, I just know what it was described as by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to throw around to sacrifice the roof panel by pulling it apart in the name of science. 😅 I will say however that over 2 years later, it has yet to leak. In terms of the roof panel, it is installed correctly. You can also see that the position on the manufacturer's page matches mine.

No issues at all. I'll get a little dust around the tailgate if I'm hitting dusty trails at high speed, but that's more the tailgate than it is the cap. I've never had water leakage. His seal is either damaged/not seated properly or he didn't retighten hardware after installation. I retightened after my first 500 miles or so and found a *lot* of loose nuts. Then I did it again after maybe 5,000 miles and found a couple. I checked again a couple of months ago, and they were all still tight, so I don't expect any more issues.

As long as it's the standard LP hose, it should work just fine.

@@TerraOutdoors thank you 🤙

@@pineyken1251 No problem! It's a great stove. If you go with it, I'm sure you won't be sorry.

Hi there! The product has been exceptional. After a couple of years of daily use, it still works as if it was brand new. This is a modification that was kind of a random purchase of opportunity--I never knew I needed one until I bought it. It's one of my favorite functions of the Jeep now.

@@TerraOutdoors you have the 70% right

@avinashkav7258 75% extension, 1,000 pound capacity. Cargo Glide part number: CG1000-5842. It was advertised as being for the new Ford Ranger, but also said it would fit 5ft truck beds and it worked great. I'm unsure if Cargo Glide has released a Gladiator-specific version since I made my purchase, but I would still confidently recommend this part number if not.

@@TerraOutdoors thanks for being so helpful

@@avinashkav7258 All good! I'm here to help!

The shock kit included with this particular lift is Falcon part number FAL-14-02-33-400-150. According to their website, they are for 2" - 3" of lift.

Not that I ever noticed. I don't think I had the SmartCap on for more than a week prior to adding the roof rack though. The rack arrived before the cap, if I recall correctly. Is it your pressure vent? You could check that out. If so, perhaps something like an adhesive moonroof wind deflector may help?

Same! It's been incredibly useful since install. Zero regrets.

Not sure if that's a question or a statement? The tires are 35s.

Appreciate it!

That means a lot! Appreciate it. I wish I had more time and opportunity to put videos together. I enjoy taking the trips and logging them. Love the Raptors as well! Awesome machines for sure. For sure! Reach out any time.

Dang, that sucks. I love mine so far. If anything, I thought they were a bit soft, but I do have a lot of extra weight on my Jeep. I think I run the rears at 8/10, and the fronts at 6/10. I love being able to dial it in, and the change is very noticeable. No regrets on my end.

@@TerraOutdoors I spoke with the Clayton support about their kit and the sitffness of the falcons. They told me that stiffness is often due to bad geometry and binding. I'm pretty sure that the shop that installed my lift (not clayton at the moment) probably tightened down the control arms while the Jeep was lifted which apparently is a no-no. I think a month from now I'll have the exact same setup as you. And like you I have extra weight on my Jeep (it weighs 5450 lbs from the dealer floor - bone stock - 4xe).

I've honestly never measured, and I'm currently out of town for a bit so I'm unable to check currently. Based off of what I was able to find online though, the smartcap sides are listed by RSI as 21.65" tall. Add that to whatever the box depth is and it should put you ballpark. A quick search on the forums yielded about 17.5", so I'd estimate around 38"-40". If you need exact, I can try to remember to measure when I get back home next week. My personal head room will be lower due to my bedslide, but I may be able to get a rough measurement from a corner.

Worth it!

Ain't that the truth!

Negative, the entire surround is metal. Aluminum, I believe. I was put off by the plywood at first, but it's honestly pretty beefy. It hasn't let me down since installing, and I use it almost daily.

@@TerraOutdoors so the deck being mad out plywood would prob not hold well an additional fridge slide! How did you attach your fridge so it wouldn’t move?

@DgGh0stKilla So, I have a fridge slide for my fridge, and I've seen it done, but I opted not to use it. Mine is beefy enough (95 qt) that it doesn't even really need anchored. It takes up pretty much the entire left side of my bed, so it doesn't need to compete for space really. Having said that, I wouldn't hesitate to use it on this deck if I needed to.

Man, that they were. I had a heck of a time squeezing those springs in, especially considering I got the HD upgraded ones. I agree. It was annoying...but it did result in me getting a new tool to accomplish the job so I wasn't too mad about it! I've heard Fox goes great with these kits. No regrets on the Falcons thus far. They've been great.

I honestly don't recall. I believe it was 20% - 25% off MSRP though at the time.

@@TerraOutdoors nice

Any available wheel/tire information is posted on the kit pages at Clayton. I don't think this one specified a width, but it did say 4.75 backspacing recommended.
