...wheel spacers. Front geometry drop brackets as well.
Afterward a few small changes were made like changing the cowl light mounts to Maximus-3 Sideshooter mounts, and eBay rear bumper light mounts with Auxbeam 3inch pods.
Next up, were new wheels. I do not like the look of fake beadlocks or...
Thank you, sounds like you have definitely had your share of experiences with it. I’m leaning towards the side of normal. Mostly since it’s so intermittent ….. was the whine pretty consistent on the ones you replaced ?
Thank you! Sure thing! The mounts are called side shooters by Maximus-3. Originally I could only find them on Tyri’s website but I see extreme terrain sells them, same price.
highly recommend them, very stout, no vibrations. Perfect spot to aim to the side and not be too buggy or “same” looking...
Not sure exact temp but over 120 and at the end when I checked once more the plug was uncomfortable to touch. At almost 11k miles and no service other than motor oil and tire rotations.
Just seems that rough shifting is odd and the fact with it hot fluid came out and it was not a dribble. When...
If I didn’t want the privacy of hauling things out of sight, I might take it off more often. It’s super easy to take off. I think it just doesn’t occur to me. Functionally I love it. It’s a cosmetic thing for me.
...It's great for keeping most things dry but since I installed the decked drawer system, it's not needed as much. And since the deck is so high, I can't put as much big stuff back there. And I've been drooling on the Maximus-3 Sport Bar ever since it was on the Honcho Concept Gladiator from '25.
The VEVOR YS-089 (10L) fill pump is designed primarily to be used with an air compressor. The hand pump on the 10L VEVOR unit is intended only for small adjustments. @Maximus Gladius advised me that moisture can build up in an air compressor and contaminate the ATF.
There are 2-gallon / 7.5L...
This is a list of information sources for Jeep Gladiator maintenance & repair. There are others, of course. If you know of a proven source that should be on this list, please send me a DM or leave it in the comments. The source needs to be reputable.

If you close the door to the first click it won't sound the horn. The problem is that I always forget and close it normally...
I have not! But I’ll check it out when I change the fluid again. Thanks! I don’t need the drop the pan as I now have a drain plug, but the fill procedure will be great.
You may not have seen the Pan Drop Instructions that I coauthored with @Maximus Gladius. Very carefully written. No shortage of detail. A pan drop is now a one-person job and there's no mess.
Problem: Removing the Transmission Oil Pan makes a mess
Solution: J-shaped pickup tube

I bought a massive rectangular funnel, and duct taped it to a 3 gallon bucket. Rectangle is twice the size of the pan. It made it quite doable. The two person thing is the fill while someone is in the cab watching the temps.
Good question. I will use the automatic transmission as an example.
Update: This reply has been revised to include an overfill of 0.5 liters (0.53 quarts, simplified to 0.5 quarts) as shown in the ZF instructions (see first attachment in Pan Drop Instructions).
One of the goals is indeed to...
Here are three jobs that are or were part of my monthly maintenance routine. I learned about these after I joined this forum. In addition to keeping parts or systems in good working order, these jobs involve lifting the hood and crawling under the vehicle every month. Needless to say, this...

Nice! I will add this technique to the original post, with credit, as long as it is approved by the committee (one person, @Maximus Gladius).
