Ah! We’ll, color me educated. Thanks guys!

interesting. I actually just got out in my Rubicon (had to run an errand), and yeah, it just a manual dimmer. Do you have the forward collision sensor? I don’t, and I wonder if this is something you get with that.

Sometimes the heated seats will make you sweat it though. I find I have to turn them down to 2 or 1 after the first 10-15 minutes of driving.

Wait, is this some special package or something? I don't ever use the dimmer in any of my vehicles, so I know I've never looked at the one in my Gladiator. Is it not just a regular tab-thing that you flip that changes the angle of the mirror?

Don't get me started on my fuel door - if only that thing had opened 90 degrees not 80 degrees.

Here's my 2-cents; On my JK I went the path of lifting and 35s. On my Gladiator I'm staying stock with my Rubicon. Personally I don't think the effort, cost, and hassle is worth it - and why I'm not going that route again. For the type of off-roading I do 35s vs 33s doesn't make a bit of...

I think we're discussing if it's possible to get an oil change in the diesel JT. ?

squirrel ?

Mine just arrived today.

In the Tulsa metro I’ve seen LOTS of Broncos (both regular and sports), but no Santa Cruz or mavericks. I did see my first pair of Mach-es this past week though.

I stand corrected.

No, but as has been said, if these are the tires they force you to buy to get the cold weather package, then just buy them. Tires can be easily replaced, but that cold weather package is a must unless you live in a desert.

Also keep in mind that if you're going to go through with all this time and expense of re-gearing, it's worth going for better than stock. So, while the math might say that 4.10 is a 1:1 after you upgrade tires, but in reality does anyone want to go through all of this to "keep what they have"...

Thanks for sharing. That was very interesting to watch.

Big tires are hard to balance, and what you're describing is characteristic of being out of balance. Did this Discount Tire have a road force balancer? Most do, but I understand that not all do. I ran 35s on my JK, and had no end of difficulties finding a shop that could properly balance them...

Is that right? I've (thankfull) never had one, or seen one, break. Just going off what I was told. Guess I was wrong.

Bingo. It's all about risk tolerance. I'd rather keep that $2K invested in the market, and when/if I need repairs I'll just pay out of pocket. Over the long run this will work out better financially, but you have to be willing to tolerate that risk yourself. Some people would just rather pay...

Good point. I remember on the YJs it was behind the license plate. Talk about a PITA filling up.

This needs repeating. 100% go with synthetic. If/when your line breaks synthetic will drop, whereas steel will recoil and do damage to anything in it's path - which is hopefully not yourself, someone else, or a vehicle. This is why you'll see people place towels, etc., over a steel line when...

Damn, I forgot they started offering half-doors on the Gladiator. There's really part of me that's tempted to buy them, but I cannot imagine how much they'd cost after the fact.
