yeah and go drive an old cj with the 134 in it and first gear is your uphill gear, a steep downhill is the only way you are ever seeing 60mph!

This seems like a silly conversation as it’s not even about the transmission, it’s the engine it’s pared with, it has no power in the low end. thats why with the manual you have to rev to shift or reverse feels too tall (it’s 4.49:1, like most transmissions, even lower than some, i guess it...

Be nice if “Dark Sky” meant a top you could easily view a dark sky with. I guess they do only show it topless but a dark sky could be a rainy sky.

Thanks, but do you know what the tubes are for? I’m still unclear.

Yep But really, I don’ t get it, I mean what are the tubes really for anyway, just decoration?

I don’t know if I would exactly call the original rubicon’s 31” Wrangler MTR’s car like, that was pretty beefy tire for the time, kinda still is. remember the old yj base S platform came with p205/75 r15’s. of course a short wheel base precludes having to need giant tires for break over...

The auxiliary battery Is not like a dual battery (just for start/stop mostly), there are set ups for a dual system. But it’s not just bolt on, so you’re going to need help if you can’t install a winch (not judging, just an observation), if a winch may void the battery, a dual system definitely...

?? what problems? The winch is not wired into the jeep, just directly to the battery. And an external power source? He wants you to lug around another battery? When you’ve got a perfectly good one right there already? Where does he want you to store it? Farther away and you need bigger cables...

Shouldn’t you measure base of cowl to top of cowl? Measuring hinge height is like measuring the moon diameter to find to find out the distance earth to sun. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/swap-hoods-mojave-hood-vs-rubicon-hood-vs-overland-hood.32901/ Different part numbers I...

Gotta say this has got to be one of the most uninspiring jeep safari reveals, nothing new at all unless you’ve never seen a safari reveal in your life. The poor engineers must be really constrained by jeep’s poor bottom line, I mean another j6 model, a 70’s front end gladiator, a scrambler...

I thought this was a thread about your favorite part “on” your Jeep, which made me think, obviously, of the 3rd bolt on the front passenger wheel, but my favorite part about my Jeep is being able to fit a sheet of plywood in the bed.

Only 2 wrong photos, not bad for an internet article.

I think your issue is where did you get 8.5L/100? It’s more like 11.77/100. if you had 8.5L over the first 100km, that means the next 13.7 km you used 4.8L. (35.04L/100km!)

I suppose that’s a bit existential. Is anything really worth having? And why do we exist? And if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

Had a YJ that was hit 6 times, rear ended twice (got hit 3 times in a 6 month stretch), figured it must be so small no one could see it?

Two jeeps drag racing? You should have seen who could go slower at idle.Then see who’s got 5.38s and Klune-V under drive and a multi speed Atlas transfer case, like 300-400:1 crawl ratio, now that would be impressive.

C’mon, if your leg can’t hold up a 5,000 lb vehicle, you need to up your workouts on leg day. Typically most people remove the roll cage so there is no intereference reaching overhead in a roll over so they can toss the Jeep back onto all 4 wheels. By the by, your occupation is prime minister...

Well it sounds like you only want one gear. 🙂 you don’t want an overdrive and 2nd closer to third. 2nd needs to be deeper to get closer to 1st and allow improved 2nd gear starts (1st is only an inertia breaker due to no power in the V6 at low rpm), 3rd in the JT seems pretty good, you can use...

JT: JK: 1st.... 4.46 2nd.... 2.61 3rd.... 1.72 4th.... 1.25 5th.... 1.00 6th.... 0.84 Reverse.... 4.06 ‘bout the same, other than a deeper granny gear and an extra overdrive

Wait…you just received in July? Warranty issue?
