  1. Went Camping This Weekend....

    My wife and I rented a 17' Casita camper and went camping this weekend. First off, the Gladiator towed that little camper like it wasn't even there... I'm not a duck fan at all, but I got ducked on Valentines Day; it was a pink duck covered in little red hearts. Goofy as all get out, but a...
  2. Main battery and Aux Battery replacement write up

    I don't mean to sound sarcastic or rude, but I gotta ask these questions.... Are you buying quality batteries ? Is the salesman saying "This battery is just like ___ brand batteries, trust me, no need to pay extra for those fancy names." kinda stuff ? Are you buying the same battery over and...

    I'm an OEM kinda guy, but after I dropped the coin in buying the vehicle, I was trying to save a little money. The price of the OEM panels gave me pause. Granted, I like them and the way they looked, and they are OEM, but I had sticker shock at the time.... I'm a true believer in "buy once...

    Those are the EXACT tires I have on my "next" list. And, I'm doing RWL out also, the guy said "going Old Skool....cool !!". It's the same place I've been buying tires for years (NTB) and he said he would sell me the K03's for the price of K02's. My used Freedom came with 265/70/17 Kenda AT2's...

    Shortly after purchase, I put in the Design Engineering Boom Mats. The instructions say to remove all panels and tops, install the headliner and leave it inverted for min 30 minutes to allow the (crazy sticky) adhesive to set. A lot of reviewers said you didn't have to if you don't mind a few...

    Good on ya !! I don't have the huevos anymore to even attempt such a project !! And this is coming from someone who at age 17 put in a new axle in a friend's Ford 150 while on the shoulder of a way-too-busy freeway to save the tow fee.... When you're young and poor, you will give the stupid a...

    When I see videos like that I can't help but wonder if it was staged... They did it because they KNOW the reaction the Gladiator owners will have and the more views, the more money the creator gets. Toyota Owner: Hey, pull your Jeep off the shoulder of the road like you're stuck. Jeep Owner...

    I always loved it when my grandparents came to visit. They usually stayed a week or two. Whenever my Dad was chastising or lecturing me about something (a constant), I could always count on my grandfather to intervene. "Did your Dad ever tell you about the time he...." and my Dad would cut...

    I've read all the pro's about the ESS. A much heavier duty starter, the engine is fine, no issue of "no oil pressure" on restarts, it's designed for it, yada-yada... That's all fine and dandy, I just don't want it at all. My Jeep, My Rules. Will I do a permanent bypass in the future ? Most...

    Nah, it doesn't make me madder each time. The first time is shuts down, I do the "dammit" (because I forgot to hit the button on start up) and hit the kill button.

    She is. 100% and I freely admit that without concern. And I don't feel like that's a ding on my Man Card in the slightest. I'm retired bringing in zero dollars until I start collecting Social Security. She retired from oil and gas after 38 years (accounting...so she's good at managing our...

    When my wife had her 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade, we used to tow my Ural Gear Up side car rig to rallies on a 17' flatbed. I live in Texas; if your not going 20+ over the speed limit, you're in the way, even in the far right lane. I just slowly let off the gas until I annoyed the bejesus out of...

    It's still new (to me) and I'm always leery about pulling connections and fuses in the beginning. If anything acts up, I'll always have that nudging feeling if I caused it. That passes over time, but at first I like to leave everything as OEM as possible. Plus, I just replaced my Main and Aux...

    Mine also. We were making many stops while cruising, we were checking out campgrounds around us for future trips, food and pee breaks, etc.. I guess I left that part vague....

    My wife and went for a Saturday drive, about 6 or 7 hours worth. First time I've taken my Freedom out for an extended run since I took ownership last November/December. Every time we stopped at a light, the Auto Stop would shut the engine down. I'd say, "I HATE this crap !!" and hit the...

    LOL !! My Dad always claimed he did the EXACT same thing but I thought he was making crap up. I guess it WAS done !! When he discharged in 1950/51, the first thing he did was buy a crapped-out Harley. He said he had a leather pouch on the side of his tank with spark plugs in it as he was...

    Clips ?? Holding the freaking fender on ?? That's depressing. External body parts on an off-road vehicle that has the potential to have the snot shaken out of it has plastic clips holding it together ? I made snap-together models when I was a kid, now I'm driving one ?? I know, I know, it...
