  1. JT aftermarket exhausts hardly seem worth it.

    I've periodically thought of an aftermarket exhaust. Then I think "what if I was presented with an exceptionally easy opportunity to save between $300-$1000" that I could either save or direct to something different where I see a lot more for it, and decide, nah. I agree with the comments here...
  2. Ham radio install

    Bravo on the install. I have done a past HF mobile install with a Hi-Q (I'd chosen and used the manually adjustable model, I don't think he promotes those anymore, not sure if he makes them) and I have avidly looked for and read about other peoples' installs and yours is among the topmost of the...
  3. Ham radio install

    Nicely done!! You mention wanting to put a mount on the side of the bed for HF. The usual ball mounts are generally really poor quality and much less sturdy than they look. Google: Breedlove Antenna mounts and you will find a guy who makes a wide range of really stout, well-made mounts...
  4. Any reason to avoid Manual Transmission?

    Don't like it, don't get it. Like it, get it. I like it, and so I have it. Glad I had the choice.
  5. Anecdotal observation of faster JT sales?

    This is nothing but anecdotal and I don't know if it is representative of an overall trend, but: up until recently my local CJDR dealer would have JTs, place them in a prominently visible location (in a row of three or four), and the same ones would be there for a considerable length of time...
  6. Why not buy a Centerforce dual friction clutch?

    This clutch's characteristics are a total mystery to me. The only people choosing and driving manual transmissions in this decade are people who truly, specifically want manual transmissions, and seek out the opportunity to find and buy (or order) an MT - who presumably also don't want a vague...
  7. Why not buy a Centerforce dual friction clutch?

    For whatever it's worth, I'm at about 8500 miles (the last year my driving has been very limited due to the plague and working remote (and I have a really short commute so I didn't rack up a lot of miles even before the work from home)) and I am noticing a recent significant improvement in the...
  8. Heated seat- adding switch to allow back-only heating (without seat cushion)?

    This is one of those "maybe you happen to know from something you have worked on" questions... I have an old back injury that flares up badly from time to time. The warmth of the heated seatback can be very welcome when it does. There are times that the weather happens to be warm enough...
  9. Oil has a shelf life?

    All those dinosaurs and cretaceous era giant fern trees that spent millions of years decomposing and getting squooshed into becoming hydrocarbon chains for our motoring pleasures can only hang in there so much longer before going rancid in the jug on the store shelf... More seriously, modern...
  10. Anyone install or use a Block or Battery heater in winter on the 3.6L?

    Not to disrespect your interest, but I live in VT where it gets very cold and I find that the 3.6 warms up as fast or faster than any other vehicle that I have had (low mass aluminum cylinder block), and starts instantly at any temperature I have encountered since I have had it, which has been...
  11. Cool Tech PowerPort

    Can you please point me to anywhere I can learn more details about the direct to battery wire in the passenger footwell - how to locate and identify it, and what amperage of fusing it runs on? I do not have the Aux switches and I had not been aware that there is unswitched power in this area and...
  12. Manual Trans odd observation.

    There's not a lot of torque on tap with this engine below 2000 rpm. If you want to accelerate up a hill or with a load, you need to downshift.
  13. Diamondback HD Mounts - Crushing side rails!

    Thanks for sharing this info. My HD has a bit of the same, the cover seems a bit raised at opposite corners on the front and back (front driver's, rear passengers). Can you please share what was the recommended way to pull the panels back into shape? I don't want to just randomly reef on...
  14. Recall: Manual Transmission / Clutch Recall for 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator (Notice: 21V-028)

    I think it is way too early to get torqued off about whether we are getting de-torqued in any way that has any practical effect - especially because of this observation by DaveCS1 who seems to have substantial tuning experience both in general and on the JT in particular...
  15. What have you MADE for your Gladiator?

    undrilled is available here, they shipped mine quickly https://www.cargoequipmentcorp.com/Heavy-Duty-L-Track?quantity=1&l_track_profile=Regular&l_track_mounting_option=No%20Mounting%20Holes
  16. Can you get a dealer to 'add in' a Freedom Top hardtop?

    I hadn't remembered this thread until I saw a notification of a reply... Ended up with a good result... August 2019 I found the "just right for me" Gladiator with 6MT and hardtop in Amsterdam NY- 7 hour round trip to go look at it and make the basic deal, and then another 7 hour round trip to go...
  17. Torsen/TrueTrac helical limited slip differential?

    VERY encouraging, thank you for sharing!
  18. Diamondback HD

    Another thought - Put some L-track down the tops of the covers: https://www.cargoequipmentcorp.com/Heavy-Duty-L-Track and then use some of the boltable hardware to bolt the rack o' your dreams on top (which you could make out of Unistrut and Unistrut hardware). Using the L track would make it...
  19. Diamondback HD

    The oldest original style Yakima "1A" towers, that they still make, that were designed to clamp to raingutters when near-all vehicles still had raingutters... are about the tallest racks I have come across (I still have some). And then they also make the Yakima "1A highrise spacers" that jack...
