  1. Does a stationary frame mounted side step exist?

    Just need a step, but only sometimes? https://aspenadrenaline.com/products/adrenaline-stirrup-step-as0001
  2. What is everyone using to deflate / inflate their tires?

    I have some cheapie screw-on deflators I got as a door prize years go. Work fine. The Gladiator has OBA. Made a bracket that mounts an electric compressor and small air tank under the body, ahead of the muffler. Activated by one of the dash switches and a pressure switch. Inlet is tucked up...
  3. Intermittent squeaky sound from back area

    I've run across several threads on here describing noise from shocks. I also get a bit of noise from my spare tire when it starts to work loose.
  4. Gladiator/Wrangler Theory

    Goes to the point: what makes a Jeep a jeep? A lot of folks cringed at the 4-door. Same with square headlights, back in the day. For me, it is the body-on-frame, solid axles, t-case with a lever (not AWD), removable top and doors, and ROUND headlights (gotta draw the line somewhere). I...
  5. Gladiator/Wrangler Theory

    The 4-door Wrangler REALLY opened the Jeep market to families. I've had some sort of Jeep for years, but my wife would never have entertained one of her own. Until the JKU. It is her favorite vehicle by far. Room for the whole family, the dog, and groceries (literally). AND it is a real 4x4. Not...
  6. Did you name your Gladiator?

    Never named vehicles. My kiddo calls it the "Juck" to distinguish it from mom's "Jeep" and my other pickup truck. Other than that, no. Not that I don't CALL it names... usually when working on it and busting knuckles for the millionth time. Nothing I could stencil on the hood.....
  7. What other Jeeps do you own?

    Almost 100% Jeep family here. Other than my GMC pickup, we have a total of 5 Jeeps. My Gladiator, my wife's JKU, a basket case '88 YJ, and two CJ-7s in various states of assembly. Sold my little TJ a few years ago. I may have a problem.....
  8. Can I tow this?

    As others have posted, likely enough over your capacity to simply not be safe. I'd be more concerned with brakes than power. I've pulled 7K with no trailer brakes (but a 2500 series truck) and it was noticeable. Rent a pickup from Home Depot or some other Big Box home improvement store, and...
  9. Map update

    So, just updated the map on my Uconnect 4c 8.4” touchscreen. What an overly complicated, time consuming, absolute pain in the rear, and completely unnecessary process. for starters, these things have an internet connection. Why the usb drives and all of the typing of codes? Gotta order the...
  10. Should we have a tax miles driven?

    Already taxed on the fuel I use. Already pay a "road tax" at registration. Both of these are already used for non-road things. Why would I WANT to pay more?
  11. Indiana Used Truxedo Lo-Pro Tonneau Cover

    We should be down in the Madison, IN area late in September for a weekend. If the cover is still sitting here the week before, I'll drop you a note.
  12. Indiana Used Truxedo Lo-Pro Tonneau Cover

    Wish you all were closer too! I’ll be driving from Indy to roughly Portland, ME via I-86 in upstate New York at the end of the month (and back a week later) if anyone is near enough to that route. Otherwise, would have to be pretty close to Indy at this price point.
  13. Ball Joint Delete

    Yeah. Looks kinda like the kingpin on my Dana 60. Balljoints are inexpensive and likely fine for most uses. No sure how much you gain on something the size of a Dana 44.
  14. Indiana Used Truxedo Lo-Pro Tonneau Cover

    Anyone want to make an offer?
  15. Where do you carry Freedom Panels in the vehicle?

    I've got two sets of Freedom panels, in their bags, in the garage. Both my wife's JK and my JT have Sunriders. The panels are just too cumbersome to deal with. And, yes, you can use a mesh sunscreen with the Sunrider. Can't remember my brand, but it works great. Bestop is making a retractable...
  16. 35s and No Lift Thread

    35" (well, the metric version) BFG MTs on otherwise factory wheels/suspension.
  17. Baby friendly Gladiator build!?

    Congrats! You, your wife, and your baby will be more than fine in a Gladiator. I had a lifted TJ when our kiddo was born. Yeah, my wife had to "hop" to get in, but the Gladiator will be SO much easier. The Gladiator will also ride SO much better. Heck, we managed to pack the kid in a carrier...
  18. Indiana Sold: Used Truxedo Lo-Pro Tonneau Cover

    Truxedo Lo-Pro soft roll-up bed cover for Gladiator. Includes all hardware. Will likely need new foam weather stripping. Works with and without factory trail rails (I have the right brackets for both). This was on my JT when I got it, and I've since removed for another option. $100 You pick...
  19. Stubby winch bumper

    Rugged Ridge HD stubby. One of the few that I liked that let me keep the factory LED fog lights and still mount the winch low.
  20. Need advice: added sway bar disconnects. Now wheels rub when offroading.

    You could extend your bump stops, if the rubbing happens at (or near) full compression. You would be limiting up travel. With the sway bar disconnected, you would still have more down-travel. Where does it rub, and how bad?
