I don’t really know. My 13’ was garbage, but they’ve gotten better. So I asked Bing AI what it thinks about the 3.6. Here’s what it produced. Now just to be fair, I also asked it about the Motori Ecodiesel….

Finally got my Safariland QLS holster installed! Disclaimer: Please follow all applicable state laws regarding concealed carry. In Va, CCW holders may carry a weapon anywhere in their car. Even so, realize that a readily available weapon can reasonably make law enforcement nervous during stops...

Free stuff is free stuff. My last oil change cost me $140 in parts/oil. My dealership quoted me $500 to change the oil in the diesel. But I haven’t had good experiences even with the mindlessly simple oil change on the diesel. They’ve made a mess and left the truck stranded throwing codes. I...

I keyed a new locking fuel cap. I decided that although it’s unlikely I’ll ever need this, it’s cheap insurance from thieves and vandal scumbags. This is the part I bought for the diesel: https://www.moparwholesaleparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-fuel-cap-82215418ab This video from @Quadratec is...

Admittedly, it’s pretty cool. I want a Jeep GTA6 Vice City Edition. I’m sure there will be a part number for that sticker pack.

I do have the passenger side spring spacer from AEV for the gas engine. It’s about 1/4 inch thick.

Nothing says beach wheeling like rock rails and adaptive cruise control. If they really wanted to make a Beach Edition it would come with a full rubberized floor, and tire inflation system or at least a 12v compressor. It would also come standard with a Bluetooth speaker. That’s an easy miss on...

This is my hard tonneau solution. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/enhanced-bed-lighting-project.76496/ I’m about to start phase 2 of this with external lighting controlled by a Garmin Power Switch. I’ve also got led strips on the awning. I power all of it off of a second house...

Also if he’s doing a dual battery, he’s running a cover and probably no longer needs those rear tie downs. That’s another hole. There’s also another random hole on the side near the bed lights near the tailgate that’s pinky size. I’m not even sure what that ones for.

Correct, there are more holes. If memory serves me, I believe there are two on each side up at the top, at least one is threaded on each side too I think for the soft tonneau. I’ve got air inflation ports on either side of the truck going through those with brass bulkhead fittings. I think I’m...

For anyone in Hampton Roads I would add: Carefully check and double check and triple check the weather forecast on WVEC, Wavy, NOAA, et al. knowing full well there’s no such thing as a weather forecast in HR. If it’s 7 days of sunny weather forecasted inevitably it will rain and there be 50...

You have to carefully cut around the bedliner. You can then carefully pry it out. It clips in on the top and bottom, maybe the sides too. It has ribbing on the outside for stiffness. I was still able to cut 3 holes in it so that I could install 3 waterproof glands in mine. I sealed around those...

On their lift AEV says the gasser requires a spacer that the diesel doesn’t: “EcoDiesel does not need the shim due to more equal side-to-side weight balance” Not knowing the Mopar lift (although I have the best part of that kit rolling around on casters in my workshop), I’m going to assume...

Mmmmm. A fine smuggling cache it will make and hide you can, from the Imperial Inspectorate.

This is the insidious effect of the tech industries goofy shit on the greater economy. Jeeps will now be iterative like software. It’s what’s called a “minimally viable product.” The DoD calls it “concurrency,” but it’s basically iterative “agile” development of physical products. It’s how you...

Finally installed some aftermarket seat RMPs. The factory system is just too small and limited. I thought about Grey Man Tactical, but they were too expensive and these cheaper ones work fine. I don’t mount guns to these. I’ve got a much better place for my truck gun. https://a.co/d/4J3nWFB...

I’m not sure how much they hang down. The brackets are the same regardless of AEV lift. I had 2.5 lift and switched to the 3” springs. It’s more like 3.5 - 4”. I didn’t change brackets. The big issues AEV claims they correct is braking and pinion angle, which they claim you can’t correct with...

AEV sometimes does a poor job of advertising their own stuff. Here’s what they say they do https://www.aev-conversions.com/product/jl-geometry-correction-brackets/ In plain English, they significantly lower the upper control arms too.

It’s been known for a while that Tesla’s interior cameras record and collect the driver and passengers behavior. A lot of drivers know this. Why would anyone accept that? All of this is concerning, but again it’s strange to me that this upsets the same people who give no thought to using social...

I get what you’re saying. I’m not sure it’s a straw man, but I’m using a rhetorical trick of sorts. Maybe it’s straw man adjacent. For the record, I do most of the things on that list or consider them and take steps aligning with my comfort level. Here’s a more clear version of my point...
