Jeep Gladiator Rubicon vs Moab Cliff Hanger Trail
Рет қаралды 38,145
2 жыл бұрынNow that our Jeep Gladiator is on a 3" Rock Krawler X Factor lift and 37" Milestar Patagonia tires we wanted to take it to Moab to run the hardest trails Moab has to offer. Our second stop was the Cliff Hanger trail which is rated an 8 out of 10 in difficulty and is not for the faint of heart. The largest obstacle on this trail runs along the side of a very large cliff which adds to it's pucker factor. With us were our friends in their Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon on 37s, and a Jeep Wrangler JKU Sport on 35s.

I noticed your suspension squeeking a lot. If I remember right it is Rock Krawler. I have a Rock Krawler lift on my JLUR and had the same problem. I believe the noise is coming from the sway bar links. I called them and asked about it and was sent new sleeves for the swaybar links. Apparently some were cut too short and when torque to spec, the bushing is actually being smashed. Installed the new sleeves and the problem was fixed. Might be worth looking into as it could become a safety issue down the road.

Best thing you can do if youre running a spare off the back on a small lift JK is take a hitch and flip it upside down so it runs up and under the spare like a slider.. So it takes the slide on those drops and not grabbing your spare on it to rip off.
