  1. Do Method wheels require splined lug nuts?

    Just get someone else's factory take offs. Good quality, all the ease and compatibility, and you can often find them SUPER cheap. That's what I've done for all of mine and my parents' cars (including JK and JL Wranglers). Best I've done is a set of effectively new wheels and tires where I didn't...
  2. Gladiator 4xe Hybrid PHEV Not Coming Until 2024MY: Report

    Not the most reliable source, but reliable enough. BOOOOO!!!!!!! Lame. LAME! I get it. I understand it. Still BOOOOOOO!!!!!!! https://media.giphy.com/media/xNRBrdEaYym76/giphy-downsized-large.gif I guess that means more money for my other car, but boo!
  3. Keeping door handles clean (extended fender flares?)

    Any dirty photos with those RokBlokz? I'm curious to see the coverage area.
  4. No more drain plug?

    There are ways around that for sure though. My Bison had a diff skid, and it added maybe a 1/4" to the clearance. Granted, that boron steel is no joke. A drain plug is a very nice thing to have...
  5. Keeping door handles clean (extended fender flares?)

    I've been planning on getting some proper running board style sliders made for mine and the wife's. Sorta like what's on the Overlands, but steel and capable of holding the vehicle on a rock when needed. Sorta like buying sliders, and getting steps, mud flaps, and cool old-school running boards...
  6. No more drain plug?

    OK.... Why? It's not like drain plugs are subject to silicon shortages...
  7. Mysterious dealer added electical device?

    Probably a junk immobilizer, like you said. Might also be a GPS tracker. Doesn't really matter what it is, it's almost certainly not a good thing, and would do your buddy best if it were wired into the trashcan.
  8. Stuck in hospital for week after getting new Mojave.

    Nothing worse than some unavoidable stupid thing getting in the way of even the simplest of plans. It's worse when it's something you're excited about. Lame. Sauce
  9. Cut functional hood vents with what tool?

    The first tool you need is a manometer.
  10. Shower / Hot Water on-board system

    My wife dug the camp shower out this weekend for washing windows, and then this thread came to the top of the feed. I'm going to revise my cost estimate up because it's a bigger/nicer sprayer than I remember. I also need to add a wire coat hanger and a band clamp to the build list. The hose is...
  11. Is Now A Bad Time To Buy?

    https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/one-more-reason-to-flush-the-dealer-system.51179/page-2 Depends on from whom you buy... Lots of shitty dealers out there being shitty.
  12. Article: top price premiums paid for new vehicles -- JT is 4th on list

    Posted a thread about the same article. It's profiteering.
  13. One more reason to flush the dealer system

    https://247wallst.com/autos/2021/11/16/wrangler-is-the-car-that-dealers-overcharge-for-the-most/ This headline just crossed my feed. JL is #1 (28.6% over MSRP), JT is #4 (26.0% over MSRP), and JLU is #8 (24.2% over MSRP). It checks out with what I've been seeing around here.
  14. Has anyone installed the exhaust loop eliminator?

    The details are that the engine fires on an even 120° spacing. Exhaust gases (like air) are fluids, and they have mass, etc. All the requisite features. As an exhaust pulse travels down the exhaust pipe, the moving mass of fluid generates a high pressure zone in front of it, and a low pressure...
  15. Need WINTER Tire recommendations for 2021 Willy’s Diesel—KM2’s NOT cutting it!!

    Studded Nokian Hakkapeliittas on all our cars. We have pretty extreme winter conditions up here though. They come in 35"s now.
  16. Anyone take advantage of the wild resale values?

    I sold my '20 ZR2 Bison diesel back toward the beginning of summer. It was guzzling oil intermittently, and GM said they weren't going to do anything about it. Additionally, we had three cars and were suddenly both working from home and barely able to drive any of them enough to keep tires...
  17. Has anyone installed the exhaust loop eliminator?

    It's not going to get much better than stock without a lot of money, and that money starts with R&D that I don't know has been done. OEMs in the current era are very incentivized to maximize efficiency (not specifically fuel efficiency, but efficiency in an engineering sense). That sort of...
  18. Has anyone installed the exhaust loop eliminator?

    The loop is an exhaust tuning (as in performance tuning) feature. It's a good thing. As for sound... It's a V6... The best sounding V6 in the world sounds kinda like an OK I6, and only then on a good day with a tune. You can't make a V6 not sound like crap... Well... You can... But that...
  19. Anyone know of a colorado dealer giving big discounts?

    This is likely your best bet. The cash incentive makes it really good, but that's pretty much impossible to time/predict if you're ordering.
