Selling set of Builtright Bedside Molle Panels. Includes both front bed side panels and front cab wall panel. Had on my Jeep about a year- only selling as I no longer have my JT. Slight rust on some edges from moisture under tonneau- doesnt affect usability and could easily be touched up. These...

Again I have no idea- it’s just where my mind went when I got the letter and I wondered if anyone else thought the same. Remember alot of the attempted fixes at the beginning with the misfire issues were PCM flashes.

A while back I received the Carfax email about a “recall” on my Gladiator. It’s been debated in other threads whether this is truly a recall or not, but that’s besides the point. Today I received my actual letter in the mail- Y68 Emissions recall. The letter clearly states that the PCM may NOT...

Well the unfortunate reality is here. The Gladiator just doesnt cut it for my family needs. Trading it in tomorrow morning on an F150 Tremor. Over the past week Ive tried making the three across setup I previously described work. Ive also had all three of my kids in the truck more often due to...

Here is an update and I think the best that can be done with a JT or JL and 3 car seats in multiple age ranges. For infant carrier use the Graco Snugride 35 in center position fastened with seat belt, Diono Radian 3rxt at passenger side as harnessed booster fastened with seat belt, and high back...

Yes booster is still needed and will be for a while- my 7 year old daughter weighs 52lbs, my 5 year old daughter weighs 38lbs. Take after my 105lb wife haha. With my daughters so small I dont feel comfortable even going to a backless booster without side impact protection in the Jeep- just too...

Excellent info and pictures! Thank you so much- will be trying this tomorrow. The booster I have is very narrow, but is on the passenger side. I hadnt realized the difference between driver and passenger buckles but can confirm the passenger buckle is rigid and a pain in the ass!

Test drove one today! Still working to keep my JT, but if not it’s on my shortlist.

Rebel is on the reluctant short list (right behind powerwagon). Really hoping to keep the JT though by finding a seat solution.

Yea that seems like the easiest solution. So far I havent been able to find any extenders that are recommended for car seat use and all the car seat manuals state they are a no-go. Not sure why other than the obvious liability- maybe not realizing they came loose etc… Hard to believe that the...

We already sold my wife’s JL for an expedition. I need a truck…When i bought the JT we didnt plan on a 3rd, but 6 months later we decided we were getting old and it was now or never to try for a boy. Thank god it was a boy, and yes snipping is now on the table haha!

Yes, unfortunately we are both pharmacists which means crazy variable schedules (my work week might look like 1-9 monday, 8-4 tuesday, 10-6 wednesday, 1-9 thursday 8-4 friday…. with no consistency or routine plus weekends- just a jumbled mess basically) Most days one of us takes the kids to...

Yea we just bought the Expedition- love it so far. So much more relaxed when all the kids have space. Tows our 6500lb travel trailer like its not there. Just did a 12 hour each way camping trip a week ago and it was awesome. Never a Ford fan but very impressed so far. Cross shopped Tahoes and...

Part of the conundrum is that it’s not the primary family vehicle- my wife traded her JL a few months ago for this same reason and our towing needs (Ford Expedition). But we both need to be able to carry the kids each day, not always all 3 at the same time, but different combinations on any...

We welcomed our 3rd child this past July, now a family of 5 with a 7 year old, almost 5 year old and a newborn. My issue is with car seat fitment, specifically buckling the seat belt with our 7 year old’s belt positioning booster. I’ve already done some research and bought multiple different...

I hate to say it but I’m actually considering trading my JT Rubicon for a Power Wagon right now. I love my JT dearly and still not sure I can stomach letting it go. However, with a new baby this past July we are now a family of 5 with 3 kids in car seats. I’ve been making it work with the...

Well one more update. We welcomed our 3rd child July 23rd and very quickly realized that having 2 Jeeps (JL and JT) just wasnt practical for our family hauling needs. Dont get me wrong- you can physically fit 3 car seats, but to only have the Jeeps just wasnt working (no room to feed baby on...

Thanks for the reassurance! I am comfortable with my weights at this point since Im just over on the gvwr but as you state not on gcvwr, and have added air bags to help compensate for the gvwr. Im also swapping some things out like my sidesteps- going from steel to aluminum to save some weight...

Great info and awesome rig. I started my camper search positive I was going with a geopro. If you havent already on your next trip try manually shifting instead of auto. Makes a massive difference. I get up to speed then set the cruise- usually 63mph, then move the shifter over to maual mode...

Exactly… When I bought my Rubicon gasser I knew I would be towing. But I also wanted offroad capability. In my opinion the gas Rubicon with auto trans is still the most versatile and dare I say best value trim level for someone who needs to do truck duty AND offroad jeep stuff.
