  1. 2021 Ecodiesel Big Issues beaware

    After they get it "fixed" this time, immediately trade it.
  2. Wrangler Has Priority Over Gladiator

    I'm not saying they don't sell, but they don't fly off the lot as fast. My truck was built in January 2021 and purchased off the lot in July. I live in central TX which is probably as truck heavy market as there is. I got mine for a good bit under MSRP plus a $1000 incentive. (I know it's not...
  3. Wrangler Has Priority Over Gladiator

    I don't think the Gladiator sells that well. When I was shopping the local Jeep dealers have tons of Gladiators and only 1 or 2 oddball Wranglers.
  4. Tampa Bay Jeep Fest Pics

    Darn. Someone should mass produce that sucker.
  5. Tampa Bay Jeep Fest Pics

    What bed box is that?
  6. Weight or Diameter? Biggest MPG killer

    You jogged a memory ... I = mr^2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia
  7. Weight or Diameter? Biggest MPG killer

    It's not as simple as adding 40-60 lbs of unsprung weight. Adding weight in the driveline adds resistance that takes extra engine torque (fuel) to move and in this case braking force to stop. It's a much bigger penalty than say having a heavier axle housing. (Trying to keep it Jeep focused.)...
  8. Put my Gladiator on the scales

    Took some metal to the scrap yard today. 5660 lbs with me and my son and some junk they wouldn't take still in the bed. I'm 270, my son is 170 and I'd guess the junk was about 50 lbs. Roughly 5100 lbs I'd say by itself.
  9. Chip shortage is finally affecting Gladiator production

    I know waiting sucks, but these wait times don't sound that bad. I waited over a year for my C8 Corvette and it'll probably be 3 years before my deposit for a Z06 gets turned into a car. I just bought the JTR off the lot. Instant gratification.
  10. JT vs Bronco Engine Bay

    When I was cross shopping the F250 and Ram 2500 diesels, it was a huge difference. I figured I had at least half a chance of being able to work on the Cummins myself if I had to and no chance on the F250.
  11. Violent shudder at 85mph

    If it goes from fine to violently shaking with little in between, that's death wobble.
  12. I know I’m going to catch grief for this question. Why go larger wheels and tires

    That's why I'm not even considering it and I feel no shame. If that was important to me, I would just buy a Wrangler.
  13. I know I’m going to catch grief for this question. Why go larger wheels and tires

    The chart has no idea what your engine load is going to be.
  14. I know I’m going to catch grief for this question. Why go larger wheels and tires

    I like the performance with 33's and 4.10's. Once you air down the difference between a tire and the next size up becomes smaller. It's not worth the tradeoff to gain .5-.75 under the diff to me.
  15. What did you HAUL in your JT today?

    I picked up a 16 year old tranny.
  16. Gun guys (and gals)

    Too hard. It's like picking your favorite kid. Anything that has come via a family member gets me sentimental. I'm partial to Glocks, 1911's, and ARs. They follow me home just like puppies.
  17. Gas mileage: A/C versus Windows down

    I doubt the difference is enough to worry about when driving a brick.
  18. So many doodads

    I have 20+ browser windows open of stuff I want for my JT. I'm not even planning on lifting it or anything "extreme" to it, just stuff to make life easier. Floor mats, grab handles, seat jackers, phone mounts, and the list goes on. This thing is costing me more than my Corvette. :CWL: Not my...
