  1. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I just unbolted them, and put black duct tape on them to keep them from clanking. What method did you use to break them free? I've seen a few brave enough to use an angle grinder to cut through the back side.
  2. Latest MT Clutch Recall - Should It Be Skipped??

    Got the recall done last fall, and zero issues since. I've put it through a 3000 mile road trip, with Ouray and Moab trails thrown in, with situations slipping the clutch and again, no issues or limp mode. It's a completely different clutch feel than original, it's actually useable, and I can...
  3. Would Jeep ever off a 3/4 Ton Gladiator?

    Jeep actually has built such a vehicle. It's called a Ram truck. 🤯
  4. Factory Steel Bumpers Are Hard to Find

    I had originally picked a front steel up 4 years ago through BAM, for about $800 with no sensors, but that link now shows unavailable. I picked up my rear steel bumper as a take-off for $200. No sensors also, so not as many were after that luckily. Patience and timing is key for finding them...
  5. Looking for tire buying advice from those with more experience than me.

    That tire pressure was specific to my Jeep. Mickey Thompson will ask for your original tires size, and gvwr and calculate for you the pressure recommended. It is an E load rated tire, so higher pressures are expected.
  6. Looking for tire buying advice from those with more experience than me.

    I've got about 15k miles on this set. Wear has been very minimal. Call Mickey Thompson when you get them, give them the info off your door tag for original tires and size, gvwr, and what tires you bought, and they will calculate the correct psi for your vehicle with the new tires. Happy to help.
  7. Looking for tire buying advice from those with more experience than me.

    No rubbing, whereas the wider stock Wildpeaks did against the lower control arm at full lock. I have a Sport S, so a narrower axle than a Rubicon. A mild lift would keep it out of the fender a little more, but it flexes well at full stuff without significant rubbing. I'm running 1.5" spacer lift...
  8. Looking for tire buying advice from those with more experience than me.

    I have stock Launch Edition Rubicon rims, 7.5" width. Here's the video that helped me make my decision. Very informative. As you can see by my photos, those tires "caterpillar" very well on low psi. I wouldn't go lower than 15psi though, as you're more likely to pop a bead.
  9. Looking for tire buying advice from those with more experience than me.

    I also have a manual transmission. I went with the 255/85/R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss, and they feel near stock while driving around, on the stock rims. They are lighter than the 12.5 wide units by about 8lbs per tire. When I go off-road with them, I air down to 15psi, and they are super...
  10. More Gladiators than Sand Flees

    RGV South Texas, and you would never guess that the Gladiator is a slow seller by the amount of them here, they are everywhere. Back in Colorado, I would see 4-5 average a day, here 4-5 every 3-5 blocks. They're all Texas Trail editions.
  11. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Since I didn't get the Mopar windshield when I replaced it, I added some fun decals instead.
  12. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    I would love to do any of this today. Happy Groundhog day...... again?
  13. What's Your Body Count?

    Originally in its life yes. I bought it for with a Chevy V8 already transplanted in it. It got about 5mpg-8mph tops
  14. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Added a Chinese knockoff low bar to the Mopar bumper, painted with Rust-Oleum textured black to help it match, and not rust.
  15. Looking to retouch my bumper - not sure what to use.

    I just used the Rust-Oleum textured black for the Chinese knockoff low bar. Texture is an exact match, it's slightly more shiny at first, but will even out.
  16. What's Your Body Count?

    '69 CJ-5, '20 JT, and my wife's '19 JLU.
  17. Anyone go with more narrow 35” tires?

    Nope, they're good everywhere.
  18. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Definitely give it a shot. Doesn't hurt to try.
  19. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    They can test both batteries, and let you know which one is dying, can't say if they'll do that no charge though. With both our JLU and JT, when the aux battery died, it gave the @SS warning, and when the main was dying, the aux switches were the warning given.
