  1. Just looked my truck up on the mopar site...

    Maybe they use the lowest common weight for each trim level of JT in their printed materials for the sake of simplicity and compliance, but can give numbers more specific to the individual vehicle on their website. Assuming the website's weights are actually correct for our individual trucks...
  2. Stickers and decal pics!

    Here's my only sticker so far:
  3. Rear seat issues?

    Before I shot the above picture of the strap, I tried the seatbelt. It may have slowed down the seat bottom a little on its way down, but didn't stop it from moving.
  4. Rear seat issues?

    Ha! Actually I hated it too, but there was a limit on how much time I was willing to spend on making it look great. It was raining on my back. lol
  5. Rear seat issues?

    Possible solution using a cheap Harbor Freight tie down strap:
  6. Just looked my truck up on the mopar site...

    I don't expect to ever reach the 6,000 lbs shown in my owner's manual, but I still printed my Mopar info and sealed it in plastic just in case it's ever close and Murphy's Law kicks in. It's going in the glove box. The max tow number they show here, as far as I can tell, is legit for my...
  7. Just looked my truck up on the mopar site...

    Based on what ShadowsPapa said, maybe it’s a good idea to save a screen shot of your towing capacity on the Mopar site. You know, just in case you need it in court sometime in the future.
  8. Adding Options to JTR Build- Regrets/Wishes?

    I don't have any regrets, at least not yet. I bought my Sport S with towing off the lot, and it checked every box in my checklist. My checklist included things I didn't want as well as things I did want. I don't rock crawl or even ride trails, and my towing needs are met plenty well without...
  9. Installation Issues on Installing Decal Above Glove Box

    I wonder if the whole dash is treated with something unique for water resistance, and that makes it resistant to adhesive. I tried to stick a command strip hook to mine to the left of the glove box. I went through 5 strips and never got it to stick for more than a couple of days. That's...
  10. Water and Profanity

    Yes! It reminds me of my old Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am with T-tops I used to have many years ago. Water would fill up the top channel and when you opened the door it would run right into your lap. It was a LOT of water, and the curvature of the top centered it almost right over, well...
  11. How long do you plan to keep this truck?

    At first glance I about choked on my coffee. I thought you had been towing that 5th wheel until I looked closer. lol
  12. How long do you plan to keep this truck?

    I drive a lot of miles so I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm planning to keep it for as long as possible. Maybe 7 years or more? We'll see. Anyway, I like the idea of a real truck that I can use as such, but also have Jeep fun and looks with the same vehicle. I think it's just great the...
  13. Stock Jeep Support Group

    That looks very good on your truck. I personally think the stock tires are great, and I'll likely replace them with same when they're worn out. I'm undecided about getting a snow tire for winter NC mountain snow driving. The stock ones may do just fine.
  14. Wheel Color For Black Rubicon???

    Granted, my truck isn't black and I'm running stock wheels, but I think the longer spoke in the Icons might make them look slightly better while in motion. Otherwise I like both of your choices, and I like that you're going for a little contrast with the body color rather than going solid black.
  15. Extended warranty... who’s getting them, and how much?.

    Oh my gosh yes. I had a 2003 LR and wow, that thing ate my lunch. I was at a point of dreading my next trip, wondering what was going to cost another two or three grand this time. If you ever buy a LR, for the love of everything that is holy, get the extended warranty.
  16. Is it weird or a compliment if someone made the exact same Gladiator as me?

    It is interesting for sure, but I would just chalk it up to coincidence since the Raleigh area is chock full of people and a lot of Jeeps. BTW - for the record, I didn't copy your avatar picture. Any similarity is unintentional. :)
  17. So how did your first 1000 miles go?

    A rock cracked my windshield at 200 miles! I couldn’t believe it. At least my insurance paid for repair.
  18. Extended warranty... who’s getting them, and how much?.

    Oh okay - makes sense. Actually 7 And unlimited would work for me. I drive a ot of business miles and I’ll be out of warranty way faster than most people.
  19. Extended warranty... who’s getting them, and how much?.

    True. I've had nice refunds on several car warranties over the years, and I sold an Infiniti last year with the unlimited mile 4 year warranty transferring to the buyer. It was a fast sale for full asking price when I told him that. Cool stuff there. Just curious - what about the Mopar...
  20. TWILL Material Tonneau cover

    I never really checked the mileage before installing the cover, but it would have been interesting to know. If I think about it next time I'm on the interstate I'll check it with it opened up. Anway, I'm sure it's got to help at least some. With the cover on I'm getting just over 19 mpg...
