Dealer replaced my back window. It was mostly painless, but took longer than expected because they were nervous handling it as their first replacement.
After reading through all of this I think the assumption that a 37 inch tire will inherently cause more wear than a 35 is overly simplified. It’s really about mass. The BFG KO2’s being on the lighter side of the 37’s, weighing less than many 35’s, should not cause more wear as long as they...
Awesome! Great commentary; really like how you talked through each of the rigs. Great job. Always impressed with your Gladiator. Can’t wait for part 2.
Summerville here. Don’t see a whole lot of JT’s around the Charleston area but more are popping up. Not much off-roading here either. Anyone been to Gulches? Curious how stock rubicon would handle it.
My model upgrade project isn’t going as plannned, which is probably more representative of real life. Although both of these were listed as 1/32, they are different sizes. Black one is much higher quality too. Heavier, working hood, front wheels turn, lights; which makes since; $10 vs $25.

I did same thing. I had a bought a black rubicon model, but it looked more like an overland. I just ordered this one so I can swap tires and upgrade from soft to hard top.
Figure modifications can always be done with super glue.
Really nice! Did you have to put shims for the part of the tonneau support that extends beyond the side rails? What length side rail is that? Would you mind showing picture from inside or with tonneau partially up so we can see attachment? Any water leaks after install? Really excited about this...
I was able to hold 20mpg during 2,100 mile round trip between SC and TX. I’m in stock Rubicon. Pretty impressed with some of the other numbers in this thread. Wonder if those little air dams in front of tires help the Overland that much more than rubicon.
Yeah I don’t know first hand. going off what has been released.

Nice truck! Still haven’t seen a Mojave in the wild yet.
Looks like the same steel skid plate that came with the Rubicon plastic bumper, except painted a different color. For reference, if you swap to the steel skid plate for the steel bumper, it will have a really nice closeout against the...
