What’s worn out faster than you expected?

Update: Getting a slight wobble in the front end again.

That one ton drag link won't give so I guess the tie rod or the ball joints are showing their weakness now.

So 42,000 miles on stock size tires and the Dollar Store, lowest bidder, poorly designed front end parts have all just about failed.

Just keep updating with heavy replacements thats what I did . Bought one piece at a time. Rock jock current lynx tierods and bar ,Ter flex draglink , Rubicon express forged track bar. Springs from tera flex , falcon shocks tera flex sway bar end links. Etc.. I bought each piece one at a time each for its extra over and above size and strength.

It is applied externally and is designed for racing applications so can handle the heat

Peel off For Racing makes me visualize leaning out the Gladiators window and peeling it off while speeding along the trail like you would goggles.

Also how about cleaning It? We get bugs covering our windows every time we drive a certain hwy. Enough that one has to actually scrub the window with cleaner to get them off.

Oh yeah… those bug-heavy highways are brutal

It’s not even a quick wipe either — once they bake on there you’re basically scrubbing at that point.

Is there a particular cleaner that you've found better than others?

The sun visors, door nets, shocks. Off top of my head of early demise things. I'm definitely starting to feel steering linkage/ ball joints now at 6 years /107000 miles. I went with extended warranty also. Did oil change yesterday.

Absolutely nothing. 2020 Gladiator Overland 112,000 miles
2nd set of tires - have stayed with original size 275-70R18 in Goodyear Wrangler ATA cause I love the 18-20 mpg gas mileage and still on original brakes and rotors just now getting close. Only repair to date is drivers side cam position sensor and an immaculate body scrape repair and taillight replace from a side-swipe at 18,000 miles. This is my fourth Jeep (Wrangler, Liberty, Grand Cherokee) since 1998 and favorite vehicle overall to date.

I'm on 3rd set tires, first 2 sets were 245r17 OEM and rims. A set of take-off from a member here years ago. His came with the s### HT tires mine had AT's I got better mpgs with along with better handling. Current tires are will need swapped out around next oil change or so. Your 5000 miles above me right now. My OEM AT's were good the HT's I got sick of plugging them from road debris roofing nails, screws ect. 3 tires in one day, on other days 1-2 tires. Brakes are likely soon also.

I know. I’ve caught my eye wandering driving past the Ram dealership.

My replacement AUX battery. The Duralast didn’t. Only made it about 9 months. Replaced it today. Looking at the Genesis kit to move it up above the fuse box.

Wow. Did you charge it before you installed it?
