Are there any hard points (hinges, etc) when it's laid flat, or is the gap between them gonna be the only hinderance to sleeping across 2?

As soon as I open the door, I take my finger and wipe from the rain gutter to the A-pillar, it sets up enough surface tension to control the flow, then it runs down the pillar instead of dripping free to the seat.

@Bestop , If this is still a functional wishlist of customer needs, one thing I'd really like to see is the tailgate flap secured down with the same green plastic pop-into-track system the soft back window on the JT has, rather than stick-on velcro. It may be a more invasive install, but if the...

These are the Length, thickness, and height measurements from their website; I beleive the 35" would be ground to top of seatback, as set up. How wide is it laid flat thought? Basically, if you put two down with the tailgate open, laid cross-ways, will it be more than 6.5ft? Cause I agree; I...

I'm considering putting a loop of paracord through the bolt hole and shoving the tentioners in during the last of the doors-off weather, and pull them back out with the cord when they're needed again. Everything I can do to make taking the doors of quicker and easier will mean more time with the...

Something akin to a creek/click when opening and closing it? My driver's door started doing that after one of the first times I took the doors off.. I had kinda assumed it was a missalignment of some sort, especially after seeing other folks mention how easily the hinges are moved (I rest my...

For me it's 2nd gear; its chuga chugging, then hits 2Krpm and takes the hell off... 3rd doesn't really do it, my guess its the VVT finally giving some decent torque. If i'm not paying attention and hit 2k in 2nd while turning onto a road, it'll break em loose... a little bit... in the rain...

It's a Hardigg box (mil surp, company owned by Pelican) I stumbled across at a gun show; tough roto-molded HDPE, sits on felt-padded aluminum legs I made and attaches to the d-rings with two stainless turnbuckles.

It will likely only get worse. I used to align 18wheelers, we had a spec of 0.050" runout... anything worse in the egg-shaped direction, we'd cut tread. Call around to your local 18 wheeler shops, see who offers tread shaving. It'll save your tires and run a LOT smoother. it looks something...

My, again, guess.... is its an expensive solution to a low-occurance problem. they probably had them in there as an overly-cautious move from the factory, and did some additional testing, and watched the field...

If it's made up, it wasn't me.... https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/3rd-shock-over-rear-axle.24997/

From what I've seen/read here, the manual transmission is the only Gladiator with the 5th (6th, i guess?) over the rear axle, in an orientation that dampen axle rotation. It would, to me, be a logical conclusion that it is only there to dampen the lurching of the drive train in first gear. I...

Fly-by-wire has all kinds of new gimmicks to learn... I tried this in traffic yesterday and it worked really well. Should save the 5th shock from working too hard, and some clutch life.... I need it more in reverse than in 1st, though.... THANKS!

I just got back from a family road trip to Crested Butte, CO. before the trip, I did some quick research and learned about Pearl Pass Rd, and was intrigued; not just by a trail over the mountain, but a trail that cut the 3hr drive to aspen down to 22 miles (and probably 6hrs? dunno). I only...

I took mine for the first "legit" mild off-roading last week, and generally agree that it will crawl as needed in 1st gear, 4L, 285s, stock Sport gears, etc., in Arkansas. EXCEPT: I wasn't in Arkansas, I was on Pearl Pass Rd. in Crested Butte, CO. at 10,000ft.. this engine has NO 'go' up there...

I'd be interested, but keep in mind: The body roll between the cab and bed will not only make that interface/gap a challenge to seal, it'll make the top "flat" structure bind on the bias (diagonal direction) in a full-flex scenario. This means you'll either have to design the frame absorb the...

Ooh ooh, my truck! mount it in my truck!

FWIW, I bought mine "used" last November with 3,500 miles on it, from the Mercedes dealer... Someone traded it in for a C-class. Its a soft top Sport with a manual trans, and it STILL stickered for $39,450. They had it listed for $34,850. Some person lost almost $1.50 per mile to break my...

Roll it the rest of the way down the gully, part it out on the beach from a Jon Boat.

Yeah but the Foster Child is a hard top... Mine (and this rig) are soft tops. I definitely like the way theirs turned out.
