How do you feel about running a higher GVM than the Gladiator was ever designed for anywhere in the world? The brakes, transmission, frame, axles, driveshafts and everything else you have not upgraded were never designed to carry that much weight. How much long term testing have you done?

Stellantis just canned the CEO and replaced him with the retired Jeep Ram design head. Jeep is not going down, but going up. The death nail to the CEO was his plan to eliminate the HEMI V8. Bad move to remove their Nascar V8s. I already see Stellantis USA listening to their dealers and customers. Maybe the Gladiator will be able to have a 392 V8 Hemi and Dana 60 axles afterall. Right now you have to get America's Most wanted V8 swaps to do that, complete with axles. I have regeared my Dana 44 differentials to 5:13 gearing, and plan to truss the axles, with at least a 4.5 or 6.5 inch lift, with 38 inch tires, with a stubby bumper, and Auxbeam bumper mounted 360 7 inch Pros 33K lumens pair, with amber covers, and on the hood a-pillar Auxbeam 5 inch V-Ultra 20K pair lumens, amber. To push backcountry snow, I have the Smittybilt 12 K winch, and plan to install a 52 inch 55k lumen light bar, as the bumper lights get covered with the front plowed deep snow. I see guys running 42 or 43 inch tires here in Alberta, Canada. The Jeep is the adult LEGO set. Just empty every pocket.

Great stuff, but what is the hurdle to doing these kits (long and mid-arm) post-rego? You'd have a line up of current Gladiator owners knocking your door down if there was any way to offer a legal post-rego 37" kit. Your market for pre-rego is pretty limited.
@superiorengineeringАй бұрын
A very large hurdle of ESC testing which is not readily available in Australia and extremely expensive, the issue we then run into is Queensland would be the only state to accept a 4 inch lift post rego.

@@superiorengineering it makes zero sense. There has been effectively no change to the truck since it was introduced to Aus in 2020. Every Gladiator Rubicon has the exact same drivetrain, running gear, frame, brakes, electronics and safety features from 2020 to the current model. I realise that this is not your fault, but it's regulatory insanity to say that the kit is fine on a brand new vehicle, but not one that is already registered. If the whole kit is being installed, what's the difference?? The backwater obstructionist rules over here in Aus are beyond ridiculous. They have effectively cut your potential market for this kit by 90%+. Again, not your fault, but that's the reality. I wish you luck.

Honestly, this isn’t a real test-it’s just a marketing trick to attract more customers to the 2.8 model. Superior engineering won’t favour the V8 much longer, as its production has been halted due to new agenda reasons. You guys emphasise the modified V8 against the standard 2.8 without mentioning that the V8 comes from the factory nearly at the lowest point of its potential in an under-tuned version, while the 2.8 is already pushed close to its maximum performance. I’m sure you know this but choose not to say it. In short, it’s more about marketing than actual performance. V8 is always the winner, noithing personal just pure engineering (not superior 😉)

@@Andrew-hu1bx Oh, my insecurities! I laughed so hard at that one, I almost missed the part where the LC 70 with the V8 went on pause in 2022 because of-you guessed it-sky-high demand. Not much of a 'laughing stock' when everyone’s scrambling to get their hands on one, eh? For a dose of reality, I owned an LC VDJ76 from 2015 to 2022. Bought it for $75k, and sold it seven years later for $83k with 150,000 km on the clock. Seems like the joke’s on those who bet against it, wouldn’t you agree? Since then? I tackled the Simpson Desert, Cape York, and an off-road adventure from Cairns to Hobart and back through central Australia-all off-road-with that very LC 76. Not a single hiccup. As for my LC 79 Series, I waited two years to get it-and yes, it was worth it. So far, it’s living up to its reputation as Australia’s most popular off-road vehicle. So, what exactly are you talking about? Maybe it’s time to take a step into objective reality-or book that doctor’s appointment.
