Engineers are people too.

I just do it across all vehicles I've ever owned, Jeeps and all. It's always made sense to me, and when I have a habit that I think is a good one, I like to keep it simple and do the same thing. Wasted time? Maybe 1 or 2 minutes. Piece of mind? Eternal.

I've been doing this almost to a T all my life. The only thing I did different was 1. not skip a lug nut 2. tighten them finger tight first, rotating the wheel several times 3. lastly use the lug nut wrench to tighten them again before lowering to the ground and finally torquing them. I think...

I still do not like my Gladiator's big ass. But overall, I love that thing, big ass and all. Reminiscent of a girl I once knew...pretty to look at, plenty of fun, big ass.

I got to say that Alpine sound system is pretty awesome with the bass turned up.

I was wrong once. I righted it with a divorce.

I've owned 9 Subarus now, never a 3.6. The only one that ever drank oil was a 2018 Outback that I bought new. My current Subarus are all 4 cylinder, 2 are turbo and 1 is non T. I'd love to see your updates as your Gladiator's miles climb up. I live in the FL panhandle and am considering using...

I don't have a problem with an engine running 10º hotter, which my personal observation shows. You say people are missing the points; can you shed some light on them for me? Maybe I am also missing the points, and would like to not miss the points.

I saw this video on Reddit today and thought it seemed like a normal sounding pentastar. A few comments posted suggest some repairs are needed. While there are some decent people on Reddit, I tend to be a bit skeptical of the vast majority of users there, as they seem quick to attack your...

I had been pondering going higher viscosity than what's stamped on the oil filler cap for about 9 years now. I have 4 late model cars, including my '21 Gladiator. I have moved over from 0W20 in three of them in April; they are all 5W30 now. The last one will be done in a week when I get home. I...

I ordered the rubber tube that is linked here in the earlier pages of this thread and had a 'quick' look at shoving it in there. I'm on the fence about it as it can be shoved in too far and then it is loose in the gap. It's a great idea for sure, but I think there is something else. Possibly a...

I did not read all the posts on this topic, and have the rubber seal in hand. I used to rebuild insect screens (well I still do when my wife makes me), and have had good success with these type of rollers. Amazon roller Another fix for some could be the tube of black roofing repair silicone in...

Love your background story, thanks for sharing. That is awesome.

That's a heck of a trip. It's a pretty drive through WV; sometimes I go up there for work and take my Subaru. I've owned several houses in Houston, and moved several times to St Louis and back over the last 10 years. Life happens fast. The last 3 interstate moves I did on my own, I think I...

Wow did you make that trip more than once? I usually make about 7 trips with my enclosed trailer. Did a move in '18 with a Uhaul 6x12; that was expensive 3 days for $300 rental, or something like that. That prompted me to buy my own and I can get so much more gear in there. The wind resistance...

I have a 2021 Rubi; pulled my 6x12 enclosed trailer many times from St. Louis to Pensacola when I moved 3 years ago. I did the entire move with this trailer. And I loaded it to the roof; I'd say I was a fair bit over the rated load...just the weight of the trailer a third of the total weight...

I've also got a '21 JTR. I've always liked that sound. Sometimes I back up further than I need, just to hear it a little more. I feel like I'm in a space ship.

I want the Wanka tent.

I have Tyger brand roll up tonneau that is well 2 years old now and is holding up very well indeed. It was only $200, and I had one before on another truck I owned. That's genius about the wood. I made holes everywhere that could accommodate my hands; make it easier to pick up. You've inspired...
