  3. Anybody else using a wireless portable compressor?

    I have a little Ryobi one but it doesn't have the guts to blow up a pool float let alone a 33 tyre lol. I have been looking to upgrade to this Ryobi through https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/details/18v-one-3-8l-air-compressor-tool-only-r18ac-0 But not sure how it will go with larger tyres -...
  4. 35” vs. 37” tires and belly scraping

    I have stock OS spec JT Rubi on 33's I scrape the belly sometimes with the OEM skids and I am so glad they are there IMHO I would belly plate before bigger tyres The lift will raise you up for more space for bigger tyres, cool, but consider it like a triangle, as the wheelbase is so long the...
  5. What to expect if an Idler Pulley or Alternator fails

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge everyone. I can't cancel the trip so I did want to understand what to expect if it fails. Fingers crossed it won't. (Hadn't thought of the water pump, and didn't know the power steering was electric, ya learn something new everyday) As for diagnosis, the...
  6. What to expect if an Idler Pulley or Alternator fails

    Hi All, I will try and make this as short as I can. I had mentioned in a reply on another thread that I have a noisy idler pulley, wines pretty loud with the rev's of the engine. Finally got it to the dealer who believes it is the alternator not the idler pulley. They will be replaced the...

  8. Places to hide GMRS / CB / Ham radio

    Apologies for my crude drawing , for me I have a small form CB radio with mic, speaker and controls on the hand set. There is a channel in behind the dash where the red arrow points, it runs through from foot well to foot well and was large enough for me to run my cables and my small form CB...
  9. Alternator pulley leaking..

    I would consider getting it done myself but over here getting genuine JT mechanicals is only through Jeep dealers pretty much anyway (driveline components anyway) So odds are if the dealer will take a couple of weeks to get the part so would I. Add to that the prices for parts are dam steep, the...
  10. Alternator pulley leaking..

    sorry to revive the thread. Just had my JTR at the dealer, had a whining sound from the front of the motor that matches engine revs, took it to my local mechanic who thought it was probably the idler pulley next to the alternator. As the JT is still under warranty booked it in with the dealer...

    LOL, that's only a little fella And the snakes are so much more deadly than most of the spiders anyway We have red belly black snakes living under our side deck, they don't mind us and we don't mind them
  12. Freedom panel long term storage

    Hi all, Picked up a Bestop Sunrider for Xmas, took a couple of goes to get it to sit quite right and not leak but its probably the best thing I have bought for the Jeep So I intend on generally just leaving the Sunrider on all the time And at the moment I have the Freedom panels in the storage...
  13. 12-29-23 STOLEN GLADIATOR (MIAMI, FL)

    Glad you got it back, but sucks you had to go through it Unfortunately I have lost a couple of cars to thieves over the years, always got them back, but for me it just feels like the car is tainted from then on in. I, like you all have multiple deterrents I had seen these here is Australia, I...
  14. Auto Tranny Holds Gears Way Too Long

    21 JTR, I notice it on inclines when moving at some speed, just holding onto the gear Its a daily drive, I don't drive excessively but do give it a bit here and there so I thought I had caused the behaviour by the transmission learning something from my driving style. I don't remember it in the...

  18. Portable battery pack

    Hey all, I couldn't find any talk on this so reaching out for any advice or real life experience. To start I do not want to add a second battery to the JT. I just do not want to mess with the electricals for the time being. But I do want to get a fridge for camping adventures. So thinking an...
