  1. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    More eating and drinking than wheeling, but she needed the break and every time we went through high water, she said, "SO glad we got a Jeep !!". She saw a full size Dodge truck making a U-turn (surprising, as the water wasn't that deep at all) and she shouted, "WUSSY !!!! GET A JEEP !!". I...
  2. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Spent Wednesday through Saturday on Galveston Island. My wife had a rough 2 weeks at work and wanted to relax, so we checked into Moody Gardens resort. Nice joint. Of course on the day we headed out, Tropical Storm Arthur decided HE wanted to spend time on the island, also. It had already...
  3. would you let your 18 year old have a Jeep

    In 1975, at age 14, my Dad brought home a non-running 1954 M38A1 (military Jeep) 24 volt system, waterproof engine (NOT water resistant, waterPROOF). Still OD green with U.S. Army and stars all over it. The Real Deal, no civilian CJ.. He told me, "Get it running and inspected before you get...
  4. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Unless I misread, AUX 1 and 2 are 40 amp, AUX 3 and 4 are 15 amp. If you wired in a 50 amp to AUX 3, won't it still trip at 15 amp ? The factory pigtails for AUX 3 and 4 are considerably thinner than AUX 1 and 2. Admittedly, electrics are not my strong suit....just hypothesizing out loud....
  5. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I've purchased many a decal from Extreme Terrian, good company, good decals. I've also purchased from Adventure Life USA (I especially like their custom hood decals), another good company.
  6. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    About as wrong a test as there could be. I was sitting in my driveway in the middle of a subdivision, 2 story houses all around. BUNCH of whatnot between me and the repeater. My wife and I are about to hit the road for the rest of the week, I'm going to give both antenna's a shakedown. Right...
  7. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Replaced the MXTA 25 3db gain Ghost antenna (looks like a V8 juice can) for a MXTA 26 6db whip (about 32" tall). While sitting in my driveway, tried hitting a repeater about 25-30 miles away with the Ghost, wasn't happening. Tried with the whip, nice and loud and clear. So the whip for road...
  8. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    Just imagine how happy we'd all be if Jeep didn't say anything until they had a fix ready. LOL My plan is; if they release a fix in say, August, I ain't jumping on it. I'm not going to be at the dealership that morning jumping and turning in tiny circles saying, "Me !! Me !! Me !!". I'm...
  9. Pickup Trucks Crash Tests: Gladiator, Ram 1500, Tundra, Colorado, Lightning, R1T, Cybertruck

    Okay, gotta ask....why is there the constant comparison of Jeep against Toyota ? Is this just another variation of the ongoing Ford vs Chevy battle ? You know both "battles" are silly as hell, right ? More or less an adult version of "My Dad can beat up your Dad". I had a somewhat similar...
  10. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Exactly !! We were at my Mother-in-Law's house yesterday and my MIL asked, "Are you about done doing things to this Jeep ?", my wife immediately says, "HAH !!!".
  11. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    My concern isn't the repair; it's what other shit will go wrong after they ham-fist this repair to get it out the door....
  12. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    As did mine. I tried calling this guy, he retired in 1968. (For those too young to understand, he went by Agent 000) Yeah, I haven't had my coffee yet....
  13. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    Not me !! My house is where I keep all my cool stuff !!
  14. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    I called my dealer today to schedule an appointment (like the web site said, although I already knew the answer...) Jeep receptionist: Hello Me: Can I have service, please (call transferred) Service: How can I help you ? Me: I may be the first to call about the recent recall... (silence) Me...
  15. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    And not too long ago I was teasing my buddy that owns a Taco and a Tundra...Pulling up my Jeep on the Jeep app, "Look....NO recalls, no nothing !! Can YOU say that ??". I'm just waiting on that phone call..... His Tundra infotainment screen issue of it blacking out ain't nothing compared to...
  16. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    Same here, I ran the Jeep app AND went to the Mopar site. My VIN is on both.....with "parts unavailable". Yeah, no kidding....
  17. Installing and removing a tonneau cover, depending on situation?

    I always leave my tonneau on for a few reasons. Security of what I have in there, of course, and many years ago when I had my first truck, it had no cover. Many, many times when coming up to my truck, I'd find empty soda cans, beer cans, McDonald's bags, cigarette butts, all sorts of trash...
  18. Installing and removing a tonneau cover, depending on situation?

    Mine stays in my cargo box as I do not leave my hitch on unless I need it. I've whacked my shins one too many times on that blasted thing. That nice rubber Jeep hitch cover plug is mighty nice.
  19. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    I'm not worrying about it....it does no good. If I made the list and get notified, I'll stand in line like everyone else and not have my Jeep for a month or so....
  20. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    I told my wife about this whole thing, she shrugged her shoulders then says, "If it burns, you can get a 2026, no worries.". Then she adds, "Y'think you should take the big-ass fire extinguisher out of the bed ?", then smiles. :LOL:
