As long as you are not harsh with it no problem. You could just use her truck and instruct her how to spot you. She may want to look into getting a front receiver just to make it easier for her when you are not there to save the day with your Jeep. i always used my TJ to move trailers in close...
I would say they are all rip offs of the factory MOPAR bumpers or at the least they made what they consider enough modifications, improvements to try to avoid patent issues.
This may not be exactly what happened with the Mopar look alike bumpers often the knockoffs start with the design from a...
It does look good with the black grill. I would guess it is being made using the same specs as the steel knockoffs of the MOPAR bumper probably in the same manufacturing facility.
The recovery ropes work well with more stretch to bungee others out but are more fragile. The recovery strap has been around a long time because it is more durable, can stand up to the elements and rolls up easily for storage. I see people using bungee ropes, a lot of Youtubers use soft...
It does look like the same images of the steel version. If it is the same three piece bumper design made of aluminum that would be a great with the winch plate, license bracket, lights and tube guard. The only issue with the steel version is it says powder coated unfortunately it is not even...
It sounds great to get the vehicles the way you want I have never had the patience to order a vehicle and wait always just look around on lots to see what is available with my must haves and if i can get the price down to what i think it is worth to me make the deal.
Looking at what is...
That is a nice trailer always surprising what you can fit in a compact trailer. It looks like the draw bar could use flipping to raise the front of the trailer a bit that should be hardly noticible behind the JT. i used to tow a small box trailer with my TJ using a swagman bike rack that was...
I would weigh the truck and the truck with the boat to know exactly what each weighs. Axle weights would be helpful so you can compare actual loads with the axle ratings on the door tag. For the short distances you tow and the minor differences between the models with and without max tow i...
I could never get mileage in the 20s in a gladiator or when i had wranglers. Nothing to complain about with any of them if i had room would still have them all. Gladiator Mojave mpg in the high 12s in the city, a bit better highway towing and a record 17 mpg over all on a trip up the coast with...
I added a 10th anniversary knockoff bumper to my Mojave it needed a bit of trimming where it met the skid plate brackets it looked like it should have been trimmed that way to start with. The silver skid plate just needed the two (front) upper corners trimming about half an inch by a few inches...
It would be great to see a software patch to make existing and vehicles made in the immediate future have the stop/start a latching selection feature like you can the Aux switches. Everyone knows it should have been that way to start with.
That is a good looking hard top. I have not had any problems with the OEM hard top sealing or otherwise and the three piece make it easy to remove and put away yourself. With the quality of the top it would be great if they made molded half doors with factory quality latches that were similar...
That is interesting if it is not one of the aux wires. It seems a strange place to terminate a ground wire unless it is used for an option that is not selected and is already in the harness. I usually ground any additions near the item instead of wasting the effort to run a ground wire back to...
That perimeter wall thing holds a lot more than the locker. I never understood why they did not add a couple of hold down latches with a cable or something to a lever behind the locking seat back or to the seat back lock to secure it.

I read through the comments trying to see someone mention what the BDR, Idaho BDR is. Ended up googling it to find it is the back Country Discovery Route (BDR).
The gladiator does not make enough noise for me to worry about it even on MTs. but if sound is a priority Hot heads makes sound assassin sound deadening kits for Gladiators to do the floor areas at a decent price probably comparable to buying the deadening material and having to fit it. A set of...
