Exactly. My Gladiator replaced my 2014 JKU, which couldn't tow shit for a trailer, so we bought a 2005 F250 diesel that we paid cash for three years ago that tows the 7,000 lb 26 foot trailer. The F250 goes to Lowe's and tows the trailer 4-5 times a year. That's why it only has 80,000 original...
I don't have these but a friend with a F250 put a set on and they seem pretty bright for what he paid. And HF will replace if defective, but for that price it seems like a fair gamble.
Don't talk about mining! The EPA sucks, remember! Although there was something about a data mine collapse in Seattle trapping a bunch of Amazon miners...Jeff Bezos sent a sub filled with Starbuck's macchiattos to rescue them.
You know, I just read this thread from start to finish. With one short statement from the OP, I am completely satisfied in my knowledge of what constitutes a real Jeep, what the correct purse is to keep one's balls in, the multiple engine displacements of a V-8, the Alabama educational system...
I agree with @ACAD_Cowboy's comment that while HF may have a big recall, it's just a matter of time before more companies are impacted (if they come clean). My six ton were not bought at HF, but they look identical, made in China, and I wouldn't doubt they were made in the same factory. They...
I agree that the head unit is good to go minus the EQ, but I am upgrading everything else. I have the base 7" system; I would be crying if I had paid for the Alpine premium, because it's not much better (IMO).
Any idea on the internal volume? I am about to start building a box and need .5-.6 per chamber. I imagine the width could go another foot if the amp was relocated?
And obviously after we buy the damn things all we do is keep researching for the next mod! I call a year and a half the beginning of an ongoing quest for bigger, better and more!
I have had no leaks yet, but it doesn't rain much here either. My previous JKU had never leaked, but I was parked at a funky angle in Seattle a couple years back during a thunderstorm and came back to small puddle on the driver side mat. No biggie...it's a Jeep! In July with the top and doors...
