That would look great with wood side panels...

What's the procedure for ordering map updates?

As someone who spent most of my life in Wisconsin, here's what you do... 1) Wait for the last snowfall of the season, when you're sure it won't snow again. 2) Then wait for a couple days of moderate/heavy rain (washes remaining salt off road) 3) Pressure spray wash the hell out of the...

Dumb question, but they changed both the front and rear differential gears, correct? ...to the same ratio

I think the time estimate on the "fix" will be telling. Has anyone asked? Sounds like it's more than software this time.

I've spent the last several months going back and forth over camping options... Cab vs off-road trailer vs RV that can just pull the Jeep. I've ultimately settled on an off-road trailer. My Jeep is a daily driver that already gets shitty gas mileage. Even a few hundred more lbs up top will...

I came from Z71 Colorado (diesel) in March, to the Gladiator. No doubt the Colorado is a more comfortable road vehicle. I've also had a Blazer ZR2 back in the early 2000's, and a number of other GM vehicles. GM electrical issues always pop up about 5 years in ...and get worse and worse...

Unless you're hell-bent on a MT, I'd reconsider. Mine's a manual and I've owned about a half-dozen in my life-- this is the most janky manual I've owned. I'm not worried about the recall or my truck burning up, but my next mod will likely be one of the aftermarket clutches due to function...

Curious if you had passive entry (unlock) enabled? From what I understand, the key fob scanner they use can get the code simply by "listening" for the passive door lock response of this function. Also was your vehicle automatic transmission? I'm trying to, non-scientifically, determine...

4.63 It's a weird ratio as it's a 'mix' between 4.56/4.88. RPMs are slightly higher than when I had 33 tires/4.10 gear, to offset the added weight of the bumpers, full belly skid, etc.

So I'm replying to my own thread here to eat some crow. I just returned from a long road trip into BC and averaged 17.5 on the way home. Granted, that's after draining my reserve tanks that had non-ethanol premium onboard, but that's still the best I've seen, by far.

If Mojave came in diesel, I'd probably take it over my MT gasser, now that I have 6 months under my belt. Every pound of stuff you add makes a noticeable difference when you're lacking low end "power" (See torque vs HP thread). Regearing helped but there's only so much you can do with a...

Sorry, I was still typing, though I had considered leaving it at that. ;)

No. Even before my mods my best was 15-16mpg. Regardless of hwy vs city. Then again, I've never gotten advertised mileage on any vehicle I've owned. Ever.

I've been a huge fan of Goodyear Duratracs ...until yesterday. I ran over a baseball-sized rock in the road at about 40mph and it took out the sidewall in my front, passenger side F-150. I'd always heard the sidewalls on those tires were questionable-- now I know! I've got Nitto Ridge...

Yeah, while I also feel the 3.6 is underpowered (IF you have mods, like many of us do), you really can't squeeze more unless you add a turbo. As someone who has had and been forced to replace turbos in pretty much every car I've had, this was the first vehicle I've owned since the 90's without...

Went though this myself. Here's what you need to do: Disconnect BOTH batteries for several minutes, then reconnect. Drive at least 60mph in 6th gear for over 1 min. Your computer detects the new ratio and will reset, your gear indicator will work and the engine lights will go out, etc. This...

Curious what he means by "decent fuel economy". 10mpg? I'd be surprised if it gets any better with that setup. Also curious how those power steps hold up to New York winters...

Correct, as Hootbro said above, airbag deployment is not only detecting "crumple zones" but also inertia. In this case the deer didn't create enough of a stopping force to tell the airbags to deploy. Airbags are potentially dangerous when not needed. It's basically a controlled explosion...

Already?
