  1. Need some help picking a roof rack

    For both the rack and the Curt holders, the first component installation required some trial and error with the instructions. Then the rest were easy and quick. Regarding interstate driving, they should be fine. I’m still doing the initial towing 50mph for 500 miles break-in period (separate...
  2. Sunrider installation advice

    Install yourself. I'm older and a bit thick-fingered, so I got my son to help me with the Z clips. Just read instructions carefully more than once; then follow step-by-step when you do the install; and take your time. Never had any leaks and I leave it on year round (mid-Atlantic area).
  3. Need some help picking a roof rack

    MOPAR rails (installed/located per MOPAR instructions), 10' kayak on Curt holders; road bike on Yakima bike rail.
  4. Mopar Roof Rack + Besttop Sunrider

    I had forgotten about my post from 2021. I subsequently saw a Glad in a parking lot with the MOPAR roof rack and the Sunrider - Sunrider opened without problem. Just follow the specs in the MOPAR documentation that comes with the rack kit (read carefully - different measurements for a JT and a...
  5. First Major Tow with my Mojave

    From the Owner's Manual: "Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km) that a trailer is towed, do not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and do not make starts at full throttle. This helps the engine and other parts of the vehicle wear in at the heavier loads." I'm not anywhere near as technically...
  6. Rain gutter rack successfully carries 2x 10ft kayaks on highway

    A 2016 62cm Trek Emonda SLR - just over 16 lbs ready to ride. Normally though would carry a gravel bike that is a 20 couple lbs.
  7. Rain gutter rack successfully carries 2x 10ft kayaks on highway

    The MOPAR crossbars have the specs for mounting on either a JT or a JL. I just finished a trip with a 10’ kayak on one side and a (very light) road bike on the other. Around town I take off the kayak and bike mounting hardware but leave the crossbars on. Bestop Sunrider works great, by the...
  8. Kayak bed rack/cross bar recommendations

    The crossbars are MOPAR and the instructions (attached) specifically say for Wrangler and Gladiator. There are different mounting locations for each type of vehicle, so as long as you install correctly and then heed the load limits, I can't see how warranty voiding could be an issue. I bought...
  9. First Major Tow with my Mojave

    Manual tells you do go 50 mph for the first 500 miles of towing.
  10. Kayak bed rack/cross bar recommendations

    MOPAR crossbars and Curt Roof Kayak holders. Very happy with them!

  12. New York Bestop Twill Soft Doors Full set of fronts and rears

    Michael - Still interested in purchasing the set of soft doors - any plans to head south/ - Pete
  13. Delaware Steel bumper

    To reduce weight for improved towing?
  14. New York Bestop Twill Soft Doors Full set of fronts and rears

    Interested, but using Middletown as a destination in Orange County, I'm a good 4 1/2 hour drive away.
  15. Towing Break-In Period(s)

    I've been meaning to post this from my manual (2021 Gladiator Owner's Manual, page 219) : "Do not tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is driven. The engine, axle or other parts could be damaged. Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km) that a trailer is...
  16. Tire Pressure WILLYS BFG’s

    My tire shop insists that LT (light truck) tires are designed for 50 psi, which are what the Falkien MTs on my JT and the BFG MTs on my JKU are.

  19. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I've added a travel trailer, which means I'll need to keep the bed, with tonneau cover, for storage. Carrying my bike on the roof looks like the best option. I've gone to the MOPAR site to look at "accessories" and all I can find are "trail rail crossbars." Do yo have a part number for what...
  20. Tow Mirrors - Thorn-Engineering Adapters & Rampage JK Tow Mirrors

    Bought them a while back, “just in case,” even though I didn’t have a trailer that required them. But since I opted for the Max Tow, made sense to get them and stow under the back seat. Fast forward to this past weekend when I picked up our E-Pro 19FBS. Boy do tho tow mirrors work great...
