I stopped by NTB yesterday to see about getting those same tires; they'll sell me a set of four K03's for the price of K02's. He asked if I want the RWL inside or out, I said, "I'm old skool, let's go RWL out !!". He smiled and asked what I was driving, I pointed out the window. A younger...
Back in my mudding days, my Jeeps would be covered in muck. I learned real fast how beneficial a local car wash was. The kind where you drop the quarters and squirt everything yourself, not the nice ones where you sit inside and watch through a window as it get dragged through the wash then a...
When the weather warms, I'm seriously considering climbing underneath and give it a bath and look at everything. The local car wash does an "undercarriage treatment" as part of their cleaning packages, I may give it a go and then climb under to see what's what..
Today I took it in for it's first oil change. Well, first for ME. When I bought it in November, the dealer (non-Jeep) told me they changed the oil. I posted previously about how I do not trust used car dealerships, even company branded ones, not only private.
I have the Mopar Care package...
My late father-in-law bought a brand new 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. He freely admitted it was his "toy". It came with a hard and soft top, the soft top hung in his garage, never to be used. Quadratec was his friend. He bought many add-ons, I helped him (and also purchased for...
I never said anything to the guy, I follow my own ethic, "You Jeep, Your Rules". I always gave him a beep and a wave. He can do whatever he wants and I'm envious that he has the cash to DO all that to his Jeep. My whole ponderance was why do all that if you're not going to DO all that.
My...
While driving around my subdivision, I counted 24 Jeeps. Jeeps of all models, not just one. One neighbor has two Wranglers and a Gladiator in his driveway, really nice guy. There is another guy down the street that has a Wrangler totally kitted out like he's about to cross Africa. Huge...
Yep. In the early 90's I bought a bunch of parts from Japan (that you couldn't get in the U.S.) for my 1987 Suzuki Samurai Special Edition. I bought the windshield fold-down clamps (they put flat bars instead so you couldn't fold it..but still had hinges and a hood mounted footman's loop to...
I'm new to all things Gladiator, so I'll ask the ignorant questions....
drewcnit - What is that Genesis setup used for ? I've never heard of it, I had to Google it, and from what I can gather is it's an auxiliary battery setup. I assume to run some things while off-road ? Is all that rust...
I'm kicking around the idea of the flush tail lights. I like them. But the quirky, factory bulbous tail lights can't help but make you think "Why did Jeep do this ?" and so they have a certain ugly charm.
Busy day for me to start the new year !!
A couple days ago I put the Mopar flag decal cover-up set that my Mother-in-Law gave me for Christmas. She bought two sets in case I messed up. Little did she know I'm an RTA decal fool; I had to do it at work when I worked office building management...
Unfortunately, I'm not blessed enough to get the "wind in my hair" anymore, but I ride this to get my "knees in the breeze".... it's kinda close...
And yes, it has 2 wheel drive. Throw a lever on the bike, the sidecar wheel engages with an actual driveshaft tied to the bike rear diff.
p.s...
Considering your summer months temperatures equal Texas' winter month temperatures, I can see why.... (I'm a former Long Islander). I bet if I laid my mat out in August, it'd be pool table flat in about 30 minutes. Maybe even melt a wee bit.
That was for the "Mutts", the M151 series Jeeps. I had those in 1979 when I was in the Corps, except we had the M151-A2 series. The original 151's (Viet Nam) were famous for roll-overs, the then-new independent suspension let them puppies flip over like crazy. Most 151's were cut in half...
My Mother-in-Law gave me a heavy rubber Rough Country bedliner for Christmas. I didn't ask for it, she got it for me because my Father-in-Law (passed 2 years ago, awesome guy and Wrangler owner) always said if you have a truck bed, you need a rubber mat. She not only remembered that, she...
I should save this video for when the next newbie Jeep owner says my Willys grill tat "has too many slots, there should be 7, you screwed up" and lets out an unknowing chuckle... I just slowly shake my head and say, "Wrong....."
For me, the reason I don't drop the top or the doors more often, is Jeep made it more step intensive, especially with a full hard top. My old Willys M38A1 made pulling the top, side curtains AND doors a breeze. And the doors totally collapsed to sit behind the rear jump seat !! Side curtains...
When I was installing the Boom Mats, the instructions said to let the panels sit inverted for at least 25 minutes for the glue to set. Now, I am the Rare Male; I not only read instructions, beforehand and during, I actually follow what they say. It said to wait, so I waited. If I was to pull...
