  1. Bestop teaser concept: folding soft cover / shell / topper for Gladiator bed

    I ordered premium twill on August 9th, and received this email on august 26th. So.... .any time now? 20 business days will be Friday, but no telling. "Hello James, We know that you are excited to get your recent Bestop order, and we are working hard to get it to you. We apologize for the...
  2. Why not buy a Centerforce dual friction clutch?

    @Bbannongmu gotcha… I read where a fella with a ā€˜21 had to have the pilot bearing machined open when his input shaft wouldn’t fit in… I get it, centerforce camt afford to make one model clutch per year model Jeep…. I’ve got a ā€˜20 so I wish they’d just ship me one… c’est la vie….
  3. Why not buy a Centerforce dual friction clutch?

    Where'd you order from? Dual Friction or CFII? I've had a Centerforce II (KCFT157077) on order from Quadratec since 8/25, its been listed as "Back ordered by vendor... I called Centerforce yesterday to see if they had a estimated fulfilment timeline, she just said "No, there are none. No date...
  4. How do you guys carry your kayaks?

    Here's my problem.... I've got a 17' aluminum canoe, it rides wonderfully on my FJ Cruiser's flat roof rack, from even with the front bumper to sticking off the back just 2 or 3 feet. I really want to figure out how to haul it with the gladiator, but I've got a soft top.... this is one of the...
  5. 2.5” lift with 35” tires

    100% agreed! When they pulled my truck around after the lift install (I had already been running 35s for a week or two), I was immediately happy with the proportions. The first time I showed someone at work a picture, I had that whole "Well, you'd have to see it in person" thing going on... hahaha
  6. (Another) New Windshield

    No clue. Its actually part of the "Frit", or the screen printed black border. I'm sure you could scrape it off... As far as the HGP vs Mopar? I don't know if they're neck and neck or not. I know that they were mentioning their orientation of the glass as being unique; they put the soda-lime...
  7. (Another) New Windshield

    This is me every time this discussion comes up. I mean it. Buy once, cry once, blah blah blah Jeep HyperformanceĀ® Tough Windshield (HTJ-DW02668) | HGP - Hyperformance Glass Products
  8. How long do you plan to keep this truck?

    I had to ask myself this question before starting serious mods... Is THIS Gladiator my FOREVER Gladiator? I bought it cause it was the first used one to pop up in central Arkansas, and was a really good deal at 3,500 miles. I Knew I wanted the 6MT if at all possible, I got it. The only thing I...
  9. Sun bonnet campaign issue

    Back at the bus factory I used to work at, a Quality Campaign was us canvasing the yard for a certain QC issue, with parts, tools, and knowledge. My guess is it's something between a TSB and a Safety recall, in this context?
  10. Music in your Gladiator

    If the top and doors off I get real picky.. as if folk are gonna care. Hahah Currently I’ve be blasting this at 22
  11. Black Lug Nuts

    caps | McMaster-Carr Yup.
  12. Black Lug Nuts

    I went with steelies, and turned 4WP down on the offer to sell me a set of black lugs.... I looked for some, they're all expensive. I got the se vinyl caps like others have mentioned, IMO even they're pretty high at $1 a pop. Seems like you could find them from McMaster for packing material for...
  13. 35s & 4.56 gears experience

    A good confirmation for my current plan. I’m in the exact same ā€œbeforeā€ boat, with the same headaches, did the math and arrived at the same decision for the same reason…. I’m glad I’m right and haven’t even done it yet!
  14. I want a Gladiator but I’m concerned it’s not safe enough for a family vehicle

    My opinion on a bottom line here: Assuming you're strapped in, the only time these vehicles are more dangerous than something else is with the doors off. Even the roof isn't going to make that big of a difference. I flipped my '06 TJ onto the drivers side and slid about 20ft with the door off...
  15. I want a Gladiator but I’m concerned it’s not safe enough for a family vehicle

    We've been hauling my offspring (almost 4yo now) for a couple years and have zero hesitancy about his safety... He rides forward facing in the middle seat in back. My wife objects to him riding on real roads (intersections or multiple lanes) with the doors off, so I got a set of JCR aluminum...
  16. Arkansas folks!

    We tried Carter's off-road park in Saline county a couple weeks back, it wasn't horrible... My other vehicle is an FJ Cruiser with lots of bells and whistles, I've wheeled it pretty hard in its day. The Ozarks (High Water Mark trail), HS ORV, Barnwell TX, we've ran about every 3 diamond trail...
  17. Arkansas folks!

    Truthfully i'd really like to get past the last of my drivetrain upgrades before I do any serious wheeling.... Regear, lockers, and a Centerforce clutch....
  18. Arkansas folks!

    First I've heard of it. We've been keeping an eye out for similar type events, but looks like that one would require time off.... so Maybe? maybe not?
  19. It's cute???

    Women use that word a lot more freely than men do... You don't need to worry until they call your "outfit" "cute".... And to be honest, what she probably saw in the truck to call it "Cute" is exactly what I saw and first fell in love with: A...
