Registration opens Tuesday, I believe, for the general public. It opened yesterday for Red Rock 4-Wheeler Club members. This year's Safari magazine is available on the RR4W website now.

What many Jeep drivers call Death Wobble is simply a shimmy. If their Jeep develops a shimmy, they think it is the well-publicized Death Wobble. A speed-related shimmy, even a bad one, is not Death Wobble. Death Wobble is aptly named. It can kill. It makes the Jeep sound and feel like it is...

Just about any of the major brand fridges will work great. I've had Waeco (now Dometic), ARB, FridgeFreeze, and Dometic. Every one of them functioned perfectly. The only reason I've switched from one to another was because of size or more modern feaures. My first fridge, a Waeco purchased at...

When the battery is disconnected, you will lose apps, Sirius XM, some automatic HVAC controls, and I don't remember what else. But there appears to be a Mother Ship that the vehicles check in with every day or so. I lost all of that when I disconnected my battery a month ago. The next...

More than that. You'll need a lift if you plan to run 37s off-road. And I would not put anything over 35s on the stock rims...so you'll need wheels too.

There's nothing better than dropping the windshield, opening up the top, and singing along with Willie and Leon on "Don't Fence Me In" while cruising in low range along a Moab backcountry trail. The 3 of us have serenaded more than our share of coyotes, jackrabbits, and deer through the years.

I've owned mine since August and have been impressed with both the AC (at 110F) and heat (it was 3 degrees yesterday). The only time I've taken it off of auto is first thing on a very cold morning. It warms up quicker if I increase the fan speed and set the air coming out of the floor and...

Gladiators are pretty dang quiet...for a Jeep. I installed the Hotheads with Sound Assassin strips a couple of weeks ago. While there may have been some reduction in low level background noise, there was no measureable difference in maximum sound level. I measured before and after sound...

Wow...that looks like a really great option!

I've read this in several places...including the owner's manual if I remember right. Any clue on where these might be? I could not find any. I wired my BD LP6 lights to one of the wires under the hood and a radio to one of the interior wires. The aux switches may be one of the best options...

Exactly...when 8-10 weeks is par for the course on special-ordering vehicles and the OP is just approaching 2 months. Mine took 103 days from order to delivery. I've ordered from FCA, Toyota, Ford and GM and never got any order quicker than 8 weeks.

Not a Ham, but I made this for the mag mount antenna on my county-issued VHF Low-Band Vertex. I had to get an antenna that did not require a ground plane.

So it appears the only time I'll get my money's worth for the Sound Assassin strips is when it's raining or someone is pounding on the roof of the Gladiator. Jeeps are notoriously loud, and since Hotheads claims their product will make things quieter, I can see a lot of folks buying these in...

I installed my headliners, side panels and Sound Assassin strips a couple of days ago when the outside temp was 22 degrees F. The medium grey does a great job of matching the graphite Bartact seat covers. I brought the Freedom Panels into the living room for the install, and ran the Jeep with...

I guess I'm not familiar with "relay mode". Is that just another name for accessory mode? Are your Rock Slide steps or radio using power all the time? I powered my radio (not a HAM) through one of the 40-amp AUX circuits and leave the switch on all the time, with the radio turned off when the...

I spent 18 years with a volunteer fire dept. and your point is somewhat correct. But long-term storage in any position in a vibrating vehicle could cause the dry chemical to become compacted. However the extinguisher is mounted, it is a good practice to remove the extinguisher from its mount...

Sorry, I should have been more clear.. It is not a ham radio. It's a county-issued Vertex. But here are some photos. The sizeable main body of the 100-watt radio is under the passenger seat and wired to one of the 40-amp factory aux switches which is programmed to be hot all the time. I...

I hooked my 100-watt VHF radio used for Search and Rescue up to one of the 40-amp factory aux switch connections inside the cab. It works perfectly. I've installed radios in a lot of vehicles through the years and the Gladiator install was, by far, the easiest since it was not necessary to run...

Being Facebookless and anti-social media has its price....and it is totally worth it. I just placed my order...$345.56 for the headliners, side panels and sound assassin strips after a 10% discount. But I'll still take a free set if, as the rules say, "your post # will become your virtual...

I had a bizarre issue last night that apparently led to the Jeep checking in with The Mothership overnight. When I tried to make a phone call, I got a peristent message on the screen that it was "Initializing Voice Recognition." I had just made a call an hour earlier and had received several...
