  1. WeatherTech Floor mats Installed / What they look like...

    I have always run weathertech but the last few sets I had in grand cherokees started to warp after about a year. Not a big deal, but the sides didn't sit tight against the carpet. Between that and the $100+ dollar shipping, I decided to try the mopar all weather floor liners. They fit as well as...
  2. Steel 3 piece bumper skid plate(s) -UPDATED now with happy ending

    If it makes you feel any better, I would absolutely be buying that skid plate if I were to get the factory bumper. Did you get the brackets for mounting the skid? If you have a Rubicon, they're the same as the ones for the skid plate that comes with the plastic bumper. If needed, here are the...
  3. Any ideas what this is ?

    Neat idea but I've heard and seen plenty of reports of these allowing water between the mat and floorboard, even with the newest revision. I'm not playing with another leak potential so I ordered extra plugs and cut off the "funnel" so they sit flat. No leaks to worry about and taking them out...
  4. Steel 3 piece bumper skid plate(s) -UPDATED now with happy ending

    It may help the fairlead part of the bumper but the skid is still thin in the grand scheme of things and I highly doubt FCA designed it that way for extreme angle pulls. The frame horns would be just fine if there were no bumper or skid. According to multiple JL owners, the winch plate the...
  5. Steel 3 piece bumper skid plate(s) -UPDATED now with happy ending

    Exactly. I'm not sure the skid plate has much to do with mounting a winch as far as strength goes. I was under the impression it was more to fit the winch plate that mopar uses. The winch plate ties to the frame and provides the actual platform that you pull from. The bumper and skid are...
  6. Steel 3 piece bumper skid plate(s) -UPDATED now with happy ending

    The second one is correct, not sure on the first. Confirmed from FCA parts diagram and with the service department. The drawing only references one part number for that skid plate.
  7. Steel bumper question

    If you have a Rubicon, you will already have the correct brackets to mount the steel bumper specific skid plate that covers the sway disconnect. You don't really need the new skid plate if you have a sport but it reinforces the bumper so it's not a bad idea. If you have a sport, you will also...
  8. QuickJack Portable Lift with the Gladiator

    No worries. A stack of medical bills means I won't be buying for a couple more months. I love my race ramps, but the quickjack will be much better and will make tire rotations a lot easier to complete.
  9. QuickJack Portable Lift with the Gladiator

    Another guy on a trackhawk forum was using a 5000EXT. Sketchy on the weight rating and I wouldn't be crawling under, but it let me know that I could fit the EXT so that solidified the plan for which model. You could also go with the shorter model if needed for a shorter rig and use their...
  10. QuickJack Portable Lift with the Gladiator

    I'm in the market for one as well. I wish the short 5000 pound model would work as they have it at costco for $1000. I'm looking at the 7000EXT at $1600 and $500 in shipping plus a couple hundred in accessories. I plan to use mine for both my trackhawk and gladiator. I have measured extensively...
  11. GPCA Hand Grip [ Grab Handle ] Install [ How too ]

    Interesting that yours came disassembled Mine all came fully assembled. They do not have left or right specific. They are all the same. I read reviews claiming they had to mount them backwards on the passenger side which looks stupid. I figured I would mount them all the same and just not...
  12. Overland fenders

    I would trade you straight up if I could. Probably best to either paint them with something that matches the hardtop or find someone to trade with.
  13. Fire Extinguisher Mounting Location

    Will do. I'm working with a dealer now on shipping and possible bulk discounts. His stock is low right now, but he has a shipment inbound. I will pass along that info as well when it's sorted out.
  14. More Dog Friendly

    That would be a nice option for the top of the door. The big issue is the rest of the door like the OP pointed out. I'm afraid that there won't be a perfect solution for everyone. On another note, I am still working on the modified Amazon covers. The shop I use is backed up with boat tops and...
  15. Fire Extinguisher Mounting Location

    I have the same concern as you. Like Halon, it is affected by wind so that's an issue. In fact, due to the low pressure output, I would imagine wind would affect this type more. That said, the principle of how it works is to cover the fire in a cloud to rob it of oxygen vs blasting it with a...
  16. Fire Extinguisher Mounting Location

    I'm seriously looking at a few of these per vehicle. They should fit in the front door pockets or at least be way easier to mount or find a home for. They also ship to Alaska without bending me over. https://elementfire.com
  17. We put our Spacer kit to the test - Broke in our JT -

    No, absolutely not...of course we're down for some Rubicon on Rubicon action.
  18. Am I too big for a gladiator?

    No worries. I'm seriously thinking about them myself to get a bit more leg room. One thing I forgot to mention is that at least with the Misch brand, they don't fit well with the Moper all weather mats. You may have to do some trimming of the mats for them to fit right. I would expect the same...
  19. Am I too big for a gladiator?

    Going lower is probably not going to happen due to design. You may be able to lower the rear some. JL owners have gone as far as to have an upholstery shop remove foam from the seat cushion. There are JL seat extension brackets available from Misch and ExtendMySeat. You get 6" with the Misch...
  20. A work around for the Steel Bumper issue

    I priced out buying the repair parts and putting it together myself. The skid plate brackets are the same for both the regular rubicon skid plate and the steel bumper skid. I would be looking at $925 with everything but hardware which saves about $175 over buying the bumper as a completed unit...
