  1. New guy or am I…….

    This is why I wheel now….my 8 year old at the helm of a lifted ZJ taking trails. Time to pass on what I know, then his little brother will be next.
  2. New guy or am I…….

    6 pack starter of Corona. 99 Ranger 4 low second gear could out do any Jeep any day!
  3. New guy or am I…….

    Facebook I left long time ago, in fact I don’t have any social media anymore. In fact my demise on FB was the Grand Cherokee forums. It was people in over their heads pretending they knew helping others who were equally in over their heads. Soon as I would chip in and help out, like meaningful...
  4. New guy or am I…….

    It’s hard man, I Jeep for realsies, and have for long ass time. Somewhere the whole thing went to looking off-road without doing it, like it’s a race to see who can bolt on the most expensive shit. There’s cats on here that use their trucks and plenty more that just decorate them and couldn’t...
  5. The Case For/Against Recovery Boards

    I have a set in the truck and my ZJ. The ZJ does have a winch but boards are useful. I have deployed them before in snow and soft ground where traction was lost. Winch in the high desert without trees is almost a last resort. Usually means you’re pounding a deadman in, so if I can get out with...
  6. How many of you want a more efficient 4 cylinder powerplant for the gladiator?

    As a Cummins field tech, I approve this message. Way better than some off brand Italian engine. Plus where Chrysler or who ever they are this month already supports the B6.7 would make more sense to one stop shop.
  7. New guy or am I…….

    So left because I couldn’t take it anymore and then……came back. I’m hear now until they kick me out. Different name though, didn’t like the other one. Admittedly much of what I read on here I either laugh or shake my head or both or sometimes want to take a hot bath with toaster…..that’s plugged...
  8. How many of you want a more efficient 4 cylinder powerplant for the gladiator?

    Sounds like a 4.7? I got a lead maybe on 2500 Ram with low mileage 5.9 and 46RE. Now that would be a solid winner
  9. How many of you want a more efficient 4 cylinder powerplant for the gladiator?

    It’s a great engine, I mean if ya have one that can hold together anyway. My last made it just short of 300 and flew apart cruising at 45, on a ā€˜03…weird. I handed so many Rubicons their fancy asses on trails with that WJ. I really want to stick this one I have now into this truck. Even have the...
  10. How many of you want a more efficient 4 cylinder powerplant for the gladiator?

    I would personally like just a 5.3 LS in one. That would wake up this truck so much. I also think the oldie but goodie 4.7 HO would be super nice. My Jeeping buddy and I were looking at options last weekend as I just happen to have a low mileage 4.7 HO from the WJ days laying around. We crawled...
  11. Drop Hitch Recommendations

    Chess this is many much true. Also why aside from the 5.9L better than 3.6L I use my 5.9 Limited ZJ to yank my ATVs around. Truck gets stupid squirrely with all that. Grand Cherokee not so muchy.
  12. Why does the owner's manual say no tow dollies?

    Just pull the rear driveline at the diff yoke and tie it up to frame or exhaust load it in the dolly and send it. This isn’t the man mission to mars half these guys are making it out to be. That disclaimer is in there because of yuppies and idiots who can’t even change their own oil would load...
  13. How many of you want a more efficient 4 cylinder powerplant for the gladiator?

    Back in the ole timey days OTR trucks had gilder kits. A glider kit was a chassis and cab, the guy or company that bought the truck would slide in what they wanted. N14 Cummins, 3406 Cat, Series 60 Detroit, any combination of 9,10,13,15,18 speed Eaton trans. Personally if they just sold a...
  14. Oil Pressure fluctations

    Not the same engine but the NT400 Cummins back in the day idled at 8 to 9 made 30 hot. That’s an over the road truck engine. I know why the design is being utilized to reduce parasitic loss, but I just can’t wrap my head around this oil thing. And your right it does pop up a lot.
  15. Used Rubicon diesel with 60k miles

    First off all the diesel threads that I have been part of since last year here I’ve come to the conclusion that most are 90% committed to doing it talking you out of or comparing the two it is pointless. But understand good or bad you are taking on more liability with any new diesel. PM...
  16. Get This $&%# Off My Screen!!!! Mopar Vehicle Protection Maximum Care Plans message

    That WL is an absolute pile, my wife had one. So many problems we dumped it in 8 months. It was so bad until her Highlander she reserved arrived I made her park it and she drove my 5.9 Limited around. I’m a Grand Cherokee geek through and through but these new ones are just junk
  17. What do u have coming in the mail?

    Hoyt VTM 34, SL side bar mount, QAD Integrate, MBG adapter. And of course long arm kit and tires for another ZJ project.
  18. Get This $&%# Off My Screen!!!! Mopar Vehicle Protection Maximum Care Plans message

    Very true and you are absolutely right marketing makes the world go round but no one buys a car to get adds. Somewhere along the way an email address and/or mobile phone is attached to that purchase, annoy them there. Pop ups in car moving or not is a distraction.
  19. My turn for Tuesday coffee

    That would be an awesome room to be in. I’m 45 but still value the old guys….maybe not erbody was an old hand but no doubt some were. I did my apprenticeship for diesel with some old cats that worked on old pre cup Cats and 220 Cummins. Stuff I’ve never even seen. I learned my best archery...
