  1. Who was this, and is was this Softopper FOR JT?

    Driving down I-40w, east of Little Rock, saw this JTR with NC tags. I'm interested in a folding topper, and Softopper has the only one out for Gladiator right now; I plan to wait for the Twill Bestop version, but wasn't sold completely. If this is indeed the way a Softopper fits a soft top...
  2. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) For Gladiator Manual Transmiss [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    How many miles do [did?] you have? Were you just driving around normally when the cabin smoked up?
  3. Man bun?

    My first opportunity to take the doors off for a couple days coincided with our pollen bloom.... My interior was absolutely dusted green, and got a few bird bombs as well. We ain't worried about bugs.... It other words, "Its a jeep thing". hahhaha
  4. Man bun?

    its extremely convenient, though. Everyone wants it to fold back into the bed, but then you have to work around that for other bed options, including a full load of cargo... My favorite thing i've learned to do so far is to unbuckle it at a red light, push it up about 8", and watch it fold...
  5. Lets talk manual transmission and stalling.

    IMO, reverse is a little on the short side from a gearing standpoint.. it seems to be somewhere between 1st and 2nd. But I don't like driving full speed reverse, so i do a lot of feathering/riding the clutch. if i back up up hill or a long way, its gonna smell like clutch... I doubt you'll blow...
  6. Can anyone show me this photo, please?

    I see it in the background of the banner every so often and it gets hidden by the ads. I'd really like to see a Billet Silver with the soft top up, the back window off, and all 4 doors gone. I have basically the same truck, and wanna see how stupid the over hang looks like toward the back of the...
  7. Brand new gladiator, hood dented!

    Looks like someone flopped it back to the windshield and lost control... I kinda wish they had put bumpers on the hood for that. Keep in mind your hood can be opened by anyone, anywhere...
  8. JT: Teraflex 1.5” Performance Spacer Leveling Kit

    I was very satisfied with the visual improvement with my 285 BFG TA/KO2, and pretty pleased with how easy the install was. I was NOT pleased with the stupid torque specs... "125ft-lb + 135 degrees".... it would click, then move like another 90 with every ounce of hernia I could give it, so...
  9. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) For Gladiator Manual Transmiss [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    Yup. if you to let out and try to lug low RPM, you get the UGGACHUGGA back and forth oscillation with can't be great for the driveline... and I believe is probably the reason for the 5th shock over the rear axle. Needs more low end torque or more gears... otherwise you're really pumping clutch.
  10. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) For Gladiator Manual Transmiss [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    Same. I have to imagine it is toward the end of the clutch's life, and happens when it slips at higher RPM. i don't see taking off getting it hot enough to grenade, I'm thinking of driving into the wind in 5th gear at 70mph....
  11. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) For Gladiator Manual Transmiss [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    Sounds like some folks grenaded their clutch, by either slipping or riding it too much? I just signed up to be notified, and in the comments section, said: "Just buy us this: https://www.quadratec.com/p/centerforce/dual-friction-clutch-kit-flywheel-jeep-wrangler-jl-and-gladiator-jt-KDF157077 "
  12. Toy/Hobby Pictures

    I've got a lot, but here are my 2 faves: Best rifle goes to.... Zeus! Best in show goes to.... the Tac14!
  13. Heated Mirrors with Soft Top?

    Wellp, that answers that. As you were!
  14. Heated Mirrors with Soft Top?

    I've searched, and looked in the manual, but not found anything. The manual states that "heated mirrors, if equipped, will be activated whenever the rear window defroster (if equipped) is activated." My JT is a soft top, so there is no rear window defroster (that i know of?). NOW, my mirrors...
  15. 1” diameter worth worrying about odometer or speedometer?

    I went to 285/70/17 BFG TA/KO2. I did not take a "before" measurement, but cruising at 80mph, my GPS read 82.7mph. My decision, for my truck, was that's not enough to worry about.
  16. JT Tube Doors: Ask, discuss, show, and tell.

    I really wanna see what these'd look like on a JT with no top of any kind. Wife won't let the kid ride in his seat in the back with the doors off... she said the Tube doors would give her enough comfort, but I'd prefer something like these over tubes, just to keep junk from flying out as bad...
  17. HAUK TAILGATE GLADIATOR LETTERING

    My result, guaranteed:
  18. Class II Receiver Recovery point?

    I have one of these, and love it. makes stepping up in the bed with the tailgate up a hands free operation. This one is forged steel, and you gotta add skateboard grip tape cause its slick when wet or muddy...
  19. just a weird thing I noticed at night

    Now, just imagine its a soft top back window, and the whole reflection dances around....
  20. Lets talk manual transmission and stalling.

    I wondered if anyone would get that.... I didn't even get it till after I posted it. hahahah
