  1. Rant on Buying a Torque Wrench: How Frustrating!

    I'm with ya. I try and spend the money where I feel it's appropriate, like on good tools. I don't mind spending cash, maybe more than some, less than others, I just don't want to have garbage. I don't need a professional, $2000 torque wrench for being a weekend warrior, but I don't want to think...
  2. Rant on Buying a Torque Wrench: How Frustrating!

    My dad still uses his Sears, beam-type and so far has always seemed to work. We tossed it on a calibration rig once 20 years ago and it was pretty accurate. Think he paid $30 for it!
  3. Rant on Buying a Torque Wrench: How Frustrating!

    Just trying to support my country as much as I can. I buy a s**t ton of foreign-made crap but where I can buy things made in the US, I still try to.
  4. Rant on Buying a Torque Wrench: How Frustrating!

    There is simply too much information out there. All I wanted to do was buy a 20-250lbs. range, American-made, 1/2 drive torque wrench. Down....down....down the rabbit hole I went. YouTube, Amazon, Google, various forums. Hours of reading, getting to the point where one seemed like a great...
  5. Willys Grill Color Killing Me!!

    :beer: Sorry man, misery loves company!
  6. Willys Grill Color Killing Me!!

    Correct. I am OK with the whole grille being black (although, should have been satin black not shiny) but I hate that 3/4 of the surround is that same shiny black and not body color. Again, it's a small thing to complain about when I LOVE the rest of the Jeep, but just in the off chance FCA...
  7. Willys Grill Color Killing Me!!

    I ALMOST was going to bitch about the shiny black too but I didn't want to push it:CWL: Truth is, this should have been more of a satin black too.
  8. Willys Grill Color Killing Me!!

    I tried for the last few weeks to just "get over it" but every time I walk by, it's like Austin Powers trying not to look at that mole! The grille and 3/4 of the "surround (called out in red arrows) are black. The natural line coming down from the hood is body color. You want than same line on...
  9. For your amusement: my rejected Amazon review of a lunette ring

    I have zero faith in any of the Amazon reviews! I've had several reviews canned for unknown reasons. In each, I methodically went through every single word and even inflection, just to ensure that I didn't violate any of their rules (i.e., "feelings") and found nothing wrong. Bottom line: Amazon...
  10. Struggling to find the perfect bumper

    There are 21 reviews on Amazon. If you can trust those reviews. Looks pretty nice.
  11. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    So far, I like the Nittos. They are quiet and seem to have plenty of lugs for the mud/snow when the time comes. It's a 315/70R17 - so almost a 35" tire. I had Duratracs on my last 2-Wranglers and loved them too. I would recommend them to anyone. I did a lot of reading on the Nitto first and...

  13. Noise After Lift

    **ROOKIE MISTAKE** I found my problem! I went back underneath to double-check all of the bolt torques and found out I forgot to tighten the upper control arm to the frame on the passenger side. 100% my fault. Thank you to all who responded, I'll try and shuddup now for a while!!
  14. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    2” Iron Rock, wheel spacers, Nitto Ridge Grapplers
  15. Good tire replacement for the Willys

    Just got home. They seem quieter compared to the Firestone mud tire that came on it.
  16. Good tire replacement for the Willys

    No, I got the 315/70 (close to a 35). I just added spacers and a 2” lift
  17. Nobody waves anymore.

    I wave, and get waves. I wasn’t sure if the Gladiator would get the Jeep wave but it does.
  18. Noise After Lift

    I forgot to loosen the bolts on the axle and only loosened the frame ones. Didn’t realize until the lift was in. Think that could have something to do with it?
