I take my trifold off only to add something to the bed. First time, trail rails. Second time, Molle panels. Third time when I wanted to power buff wax my top. They say you can stand on it; I wasn't taking that chance. The cover is heavier than you'd think; easy with two people, it can be...

Agreed, the bodies of both locks are larger than I'd like, but they are that big for a reason; to accept your Jeep ignition key. Both are rubber coated and appear like they'll last, but I haven't gotten them wet or muddy yet. The hitch pin has a rubber flapper over the lock that snaps quite...

Well, since my garage is cluttered with a 1953 Willys CJ-3A and my Ural sidecar motorcycle (amongst other crap), my Gladiator been in the driveway since day 1. So yay me for having a cluttered garage !!

I have a waterproof tote and I bought one of those BOLT padlocks (the ones that self-key to your Jeep key) and use a cable to snake it through the D rings at the head of the bed. Locks the cover down and locks it to the bed at the same time. I also have a BOLT hitch pin, love it. For my...

My wife and I went there in the early '90's (?) in my 1985 VW Westfalia Campmobile. We loved it. We saw live on stage, Glenn Campbell and then Jim Stafford. We thought about seeing Boxcar Willie, just because of all the commercials on TV at the time about his music. My wife heard of Glenn...

K X L - Damn dude !! We have different levels of "pushing oneself". For me, it's seeing if I can make it home before I pee. Sometimes I make it, sometimes I gotta pull over.

Growing up, my Dad had a hand sledge that he called "The Persuader". I know he didn't make that up, but that was the first I heard of it. When I asked why, he said, "If the part don't fit, this'll make it fit.".

I have a hard trifold and it only flips back twice; the final panel stays fixed to the bed. It would be nice if that, too, flipped up, but it is what it is... Like others have said, I like the hard trifold for security reasons. In my soft top Jeeps of the past, I couldn't guess how many times...

Nice install, but I have to ask, looking at the tools in the driveway, where did the axe come into play ? :LOL:

I don't want to seem rude, but if you remove the tonneau cover "to save a few pounds", I'd be more inclined to inventory what you take camping; it seems you take everything including the kitchen sink...;) I'm a former backpacker, there have been times when the only thing in my vehicle is that...

I read that through the wheel well is easier. I replaced mine from up top and I found that way quite easy. For me, it's a lot easier to work while standing and leaning over than it is to be on my butt squeezed between that annoying flapping fender well liner and the front tire while reaching...

I joined a GMRS web site to ask a few questions. I told of my install and how the antenna wire was 19' long and my Gladiator from bumper to bumper is a tad over 18' so the wire is insanely long for my install and what would be the "ideal" length for the coax. I learned that length didn't...

Every time I see that bed carpeting I do the, "Me likes !!". Is it just form-fitted or is it glue-down, like commercial office building carpeting (it does resemble office carpeting) ?

As I noted in my GMRS radio install, I installed a 12v socket on AUX 3 and plugged the OEM plug from the Midland into it. Reason being for the socket as opposed to snipping the wires was I could re-purpose the radio in the future if needed and I have a secondary 12v socket for other things...

Now that there is a stellar idea !! Getting the passenger kick panel off to access the factory ground lug was a mutha, but now that I know how, it should go easier (he said optimistically).

No loop under the cowl, just a U bend. Actually less than the pic shows, I pull up some slack. I started with a antenna cable that was only 10' long, perfect for my setup. The connector and cable sucked BAD and was out of spec for the mount (even though the web site claimed otherwise)...

Agreed. Shepherds and Jeeps go together like donuts and coffee. He was named Killer. Jokingly because he was the kindest dog but looked scary as hell. All black with tan socks. When you approached, he stood directly in your way, frozen solid, staring at your face. Sizing you up. If he...

When you get into it, you'll see how easy it was, it's almost intuitive. This Jeep is designed well and promotes things like this. Make sure you get an antenna with a removeable connector, otherwise what I did will be impossible. I came to this Jeep from a Renegade. That piece of crap...

I didn't have to fold my windshield down. On the side of the windshield is a plastic gasket cover thingy (techie term) that is held on with two push pins. Pop that off, pull the gasket free (it's press fitted, not glued) and work the wire behind it, then press the gasket back in place. It...

At least I now know I'm not alone..... I retired last December, my wife still works. She's 7 years my junior. My wife was instrumental in me retiring; the long hours and what ended up being unfair pay prompted her. I agreed. We ran the numbers, I could retire with zero hit on our finances...
