That would be bad ass out in the middle of a desert!

Thanks, My KC lights had the caps on. And only 4 with the amber covers. With all lights on she is very bright.

Last wheeling trip two weeks ago. Wife snagged some cool pictures as we went through this section.

Are you running the stock wheels? Are you using spacers?

Stock wheels with Nitto Trail Grapplers 37x12.50r17 and 1.75” wheel spacers. We will swap wheels eventually to something from the Method Bead Grip line.

How does it drive now? Do you think a long arm is required at that height?

The ride quality is better than stock in my opinion with the exception of a little more left to right sway as I would expect from any lift when adding 4.5”. I did have my heart set on the MC 4.5” longarm until I realized it required me to cut off the front brackets. I just wasn’t prepared to do that at this point with just over 5k miles on it. I just like the idea of being able to return it to completely stock in a weekend if I run into any major mechanical issues and the warranty is in question. Not looking to have anything covered that shouldn’t be due to my mods but I’ve heard of some questionable warranty denials on this forum that I’d just rather not deal with. I’m extremely happy with the lift from MC so far but I haven’t truly tested it off-road to much at this point. I still need to install the new front drive shaft and add a winch and probably a few other minor things before I head out.

Is that hood functioning? If so, where do I get one, lol.

I could be wrong, but it looks like one of those there Jeep Gladiator Mojave hoods!

I believe @Tredsdert is correct and that would make it a non functioning hood.

@greek_fire have you seen our H.E.R.O. Hood? Fully functioning and we have a 3.0 specific version for the driver's side air box.

Do you think a 392 or Mohave hood would be easier? I heard the Mohave might have some work to do or buy in addition at least.

The Mojave Hood requires all of the cowl pieces in additional to the hood. Same goes for the 392 hood. The 392 hood also pairs with a custom air box so it wont work with the 3.0 airbox.

Personally, on the 3.0 EcoDiesel RAM air intake is a bad idea. I forget exactly which thread, but anyone running the 3.0 EcoDiesel with a snorkel, and the opening pointing forward seems to start getting codes thrown. However the simple fix seems to be turning the intake port around so it's facing the rear of the vehicle. The EcoDiesel sucks in air just fine. I would not recommend doing a functional ram Air intake on the EcoDiesel. I personally plan on getting a snorkel at some point and using a mushroom intake myself.

Just my personal thoughts on this one, but if you're trying to reduce engine heat on the EcoDiesel, I would recommend upgrading your radiator. There is products on the market specifically for the gladiators which do just this. I'm pretty sure you could port it over to the Wrangler pretty easy, though I haven't seen anyone do it yet myself.

Got to the orv park this weekend!

 

[greek_fire]

I’m in knoxville. What trails do you like here in TN?

 

[zouch]

as far as i know all Mojaves are gassers, so the air intake is on the opposite side of the Diesel. would take a good bit of plumbing to make that work.

i've seen the inside of the hood of the 392, but was so distracted by what a freakin' heavy monster that hood is that i don't remember which side the air intake is on.

Intake is on the driver's side same as the diesel but it has a completely different airbox set up to sync up with the hood
