  1. Hauk Engine Skid Plate?

    So the bracket/adapter plate is backwards in this picture. There are recesses in the adapter that will hide the bolts connecting it to the crossmember, then the bolts connecting it to the skid are exposed. There also should have been a bunch of rounded head hex bolts in the hardware kit...
  2. Why did jeep go with the ram 1500 style rear suspension instead of the JL rear suspension for the gladiator?

    All of that is true. The simplest answer to OP's question is: They already had a rear suspension design for a light truck sitting around, and it was far, far easier to just copy-paste the 1500 rear onto the Wrangler Front and call it a day than to custom design a new rear end, or custom...
  3. JT v. Taco: Which is objectively built better? 2021 Gladiator vs 2021 Tacoma comparison review by owner

    I went from a built 2013 taco to a 2020 gladiator overland. The comparison just isn't fair: the taco is fundamentally a 2006 design for a mid size, low price work truck; the gladiator was designed for the off-road enthusiast and jeep lifestyler to have a cool pickup. Frames: floppy C...
  4. Rock light tapped courtesy lights blink

    It's almost certainly a pulse width modulated dimmer, so it's not actually 6 volts; it's slamming back and forth between 12V and 0 V for varying % of time to produce whatever voltage is called for. The voltage converter should fix it though.
  5. Door Air Leak

    Check the torque on your windshield bolts. If they start to work loose you get wind noise in the exact sport you're describing.
  6. Hauk Engine Skid Plate?

    Install was a little weird, but I got mine in okay. Where did you run into trouble?
  7. Rock light tapped courtesy lights blink

    Driving around last night, when I push the button for bed lights they stayed on as long as I drove. And behaved like the fog-lights when I turned the truck off: went out and came back on when I restarted an hour later. This was a 2020 Overland edition, your software load my vary.
  8. Rock light tapped courtesy lights blink

    Is there a reason to use the footwell lights and not the bed lights? The bed lights behave as desired with door open/close and can be controlled while the truck is on with a button on the dashboard. ETA: mostly this thread has convinced me to put my rock and dust lights on the bed light...
  9. Rock light tapped courtesy lights blink

    JScan doesn't seem to have a setting for that voltage, but they do for other voltages. So perhaps it's adjustable and could be turned all the way up.
  10. Rock light tapped courtesy lights blink

    Any reason not to put the diode and switch on the line feeding into pin 86? That will reduce the power going through the switch as well.
  11. Rock light tapped courtesy lights blink

    "You should verify the sources can actually produce 12V open circuit (nothing hooked up to them). " Since the lights work correctly when the door is open apparently whatever circuit you've tapped is capable of producing enough voltage and current (sometimes) to drive the rock lights, but for...
  12. 4 Low humming/whining, 2H and 4H no sounds

    yeah, you can hear the T-case working in low range. true for most trucks.
  13. Aoaa or RC trip or somewhere else?

    If you're brave, and don't mind pulling rope, completely agree. Some of the black trails are doable without lockers, but you''ll want full armor and bumpers.
  14. Aoaa or RC trip or somewhere else?

    I might be in for either AOAA or RC.
  15. Looking for a unicorn phone mount. Any suggestions?

    The RAM mount systems work pretty well. I use one off the A pillar lower handle, but that violates two of the requirements you have.
  16. Heater/AC blowing hot air at 60 or higher

    TL;DR for this thread: a combination of shitty HVAC control logic, shitty sensor placement and system design, combined with #LegendaryMoparReliability means you have to use the LO and HI settings to make get the vent temperature you want. Or just take the roof and doors off; then drive fast to...
  17. Paint choice - new front bumper

    If you're not planning to bash the bumper on rocks, use it as a step ladder in muddy boots, etc. powder is definitely the way to go. I fuck up finished surfaces on bumpers and sliders like it's my job, so all the powder coat on my truck ends up covered in paint anyway.
  18. Paint choice - new front bumper

    Self etching primer followed by textured bed-liner.
