  1. Large wire crimpers

    This or something like it. Have had one similar for about 12 years. It has done everything from 8 to 4/0 gauge cables. Built and repaired many on mining haul trucks and heavy equipment, OTR trucks lots of junk. Have done all my Jeeps with it. Came from Amazon or EBay, one of the two. I wouldn’t...
  2. My real world MPG... yours may differ!

    My house is 5100 feet, elevation around me goes up or stays the same, stock everything right down to 255/75 17 BFG MTs it came with. Best ever had is just touch under 22 and that was 20 mile commute on interstate and kept it at 70. Run it at 80 and it struggles to keep 18.5. Average around town...
  3. 3.6 Durability...real world torture test examples

    I honestly never guessed any LE depts. even utilized the 3.6, figured they’d have V8,s in those. That’s crazy, crazier still I’m sure those poor cars are beat on pretty hard, how they’re not on a crate engine already is nuts. You mention Crown Vic, our taxi service here still has some old ass...
  4. HELP! (Solved Kinda…)

    Low batteries maybe, with most everything on CAN BUS any voltage decay or ground issue will make anything on that backbone freak out, problem is it would have similar backbone issue @ start request also, in theory anyway. I’ve seen batteries cause all sorts of havoc with multiplexed networks. Do...
  5. Said goodbye to my Gladiator Willys.

    That makes sense man. I bought mine and then learned all the details after being here on this forum and in hindsight should have done a Mohave or even a Rubicon. Not near the deal, paid peanuts for this truck but still would have been worth it. Your right on that, lot of work to get a Willys to...
  6. Power steering failure….again

    I just downloaded that, good info for pinouts later, thank you.
  7. 2024 Gladiator NightHawk Package announced to coincide with total solar eclipse

    Just what I was thinking….whats not grey is black on mine, even wheels.
  8. 2025 Gladiator

    Body off….damn. Haven’t seen under the skirt of a Wagoneer so have no scale to go by. Only pictures I’ve seen of engine it’s covered in plastic what nots so can’t see what’s actually stacked on it. I’ve done that on some Super Duties and it sucks
  9. Show us what camper / trailer / RV you're towing with your JT

    I’ve got a 5x10 utility trailer been thinking of something like that. Jumping Jack makes cool setups over in Utah but good hell, it’s 8K for a canvas tent on a utility trailer.
  10. 2025 Gladiator

    Yeah I might have too…..maybe. For what I use this truck for I’d get more out a turbo than NA 3.6. I don’t seriously wheel this thing enough, got other junk for that, but it does pull junk around a lot.
  11. Well, guess I'll never get a dealer alignment again.

    When I got my last ZJ build done went and had the Coopers mounted at a Big O, dude asked about an alignment, stupid me said sure. Nothing under this thing is stock, nothing. So I told he/him don’t be going batshit under there, if it looks weird call me or leave it alone because it’s going to...
  12. Just a couple mods today.

    No worries, fair enough have been thinking about something just like that but concerned about elevation sickness with it
  13. Just a couple mods today.

    You quoted but no reply on that, or that was the reply…idk. I’m really curious how it runs with that set up.
  14. 2025 Gladiator

    I did not know the I6 was being used already, hopefully by ā€˜25 might have some of technical wrinkles ironed out that will pop up. What an increase to 420HP and back to an inline engine to boot. Plus LED package on everything also. Not big on LEDs but at least won’t be the crap shoot with...
  15. Gladiator Rubicon Gets Stuck Pretty Good -- "This Will Be The HARDEST Rescue Ever" (Matt's Off-Road Recovery)

    Ok, I’ll run right over and sign up with my 4 Jeeps. Thanks for the tip
  16. Gladiator Rubicon Gets Stuck Pretty Good -- "This Will Be The HARDEST Rescue Ever" (Matt's Off-Road Recovery)

    So much for Rubinot. Simple trail walk and understanding the break over angle and lack of it was needed. No gear and a kid whining about trashing it, and attempting shit he shouldn’t have apparently solo. The good news is somebody brought a real Jeep. That XJ could walk all over the truck any...
  17. Show us what camper / trailer / RV you're towing with your JT

    I don’t tow a camper, just a 7x14 aluminum trailer usually with a 570 Sportsman, Kodiak 700 and my son’s KFX50. Total gross of trailer is 2400. It does ok, but not great. I’m patient so it isn’t that annoying, I’m a get there when we get there type. If I go any decent distance with those ATVs I...
  18. Just a couple mods today.

    Dave Smith….your in mountain country. That have 3.73s under it? If it does how does it run up there with 35s? Feel like it’s lost 100hp?
  19. Debating Debadging Rubi

    You can’t stuff like that here, the driveway art posse will show up at your house with pitchforks.
