  1. Rubicon Incentives? (July 21)

    Seconded. This is news. Inquiring minds want to know.
  2. 4 auto selec track....

    I live in the mountains and canyons above Denver. I think it says in the manual it's for "conditions with variable traction" or something to that effect. When it snows up here, it doesn't always snow down in the flats. When it rains in the flats and snows up here, there's a narrow section on the...
  3. Rubicon Incentives? (July 21)

    Tread Lightly is a 1% discount for $100 if you plan 30 days in advance. With that and a plane ticket (super cheap these days) or a day's road trip (less cheap, more fun), you can get 8% under invoice at SLC. Tied for the best deal in the country. I'm not affiliated or anything, but these posts...
  4. Strange guy I met this morning

    Yeah... Forum people are a minority. People who research major purchases before blowing their load are an even smaller minority. It blows my mind how someone could spend many tens of thousands of dollars without making sure they're spending it well first, but people blow my mind daily.
  5. 488s or 456s. That is the question

    For those not at altitude in the conversation, it's worth noting that @DocMike is short 51 hp right off the bat, @WK2JT is down 43 hp (assuming he's at 5K'), and I'll eventually shave fully 60 hp (an entire VW beetle, and a late production, most powerful engine they got version at that)... Air...
  6. I wish the gladiator had a wireless charging pad

    I already pointed to a thread on another forum where one was installed, but I'll weigh in on a slightly different angle as well: My ZR2 Bison had a wireless charger in the center console from the factory. A lot of people complain about their phones being too big, but the issue there is that...
  7. I wish the gladiator had a wireless charging pad

    Different platform, but pretty easily applied if you can find a good spot for it: https://www.coloradofans.com/threads/wireless-charging-relocation-center-console-front-pocket-for-large-phones.419729/#post-5320971
  8. 488s or 456s. That is the question

    Admittedly not on a Jeep, but I have seen people regretting deep gearing. Different application, platform, and all sorts of stuff though. You definitely can go too deep, just probably not within the bounds of this conversation. @DocMike , that looks like the chart. Thanks for the memory...
  9. 488s or 456s. That is the question

    A RTT would only affect things at speed. It doesn't weigh much, just frontal area and drag. Not sure what you mean by "camper". There are a number of colloquial meanings. A topper? Camping trailer? Something else? Topper won't affect much, trailer might. Rubicons, Mojaves, and Max Tows have...
  10. 488s or 456s. That is the question

    Well... Jeep themselves have pretty well spoken on the topic when they announced the 35" tires on the Recon (or whatever it's called) package trotted out to throw water on Ford's Bronco fire. 4.56 is the standard, but you can option up to 4.88. Exercising that option gets you a 100:1 crawl ratio...
  11. Frame rust.

    Shortly after we brought my wife's JKUR home from the dealer (new in '16), I noticed some spots on the frame that looked like the frame had been shipped stacked after paint and before assembly. Little wear spots through the paint in places where another frame would touch top/bottom. She got a...
  12. Gupton Motors up to 8% below invoice

    When we bought my wife's JK, the manual had a specific break in procedure (and I'm sure still does). You are supposed to keep it under 55 and vary the speed for some number of miles. 300 is what I recall doing with the JK and reading for the JT. Personally, I'd do it for 500 miles. That's a...
  13. Interesting fleet of JT test mules in Colorado mountains 6-28-21 PIX ATTACHED

    Aside from the red one with the half suite of mud flaps, and the single electric doodad on the other, I don't see a single thing in any of those photos that gives away anything insightful. Things expected to be coming down the pipes are 35" tires from the factory and 4XE. That's all that's made...
  14. Below Invoice Questions

    Invoice prices are pretty readily available for most makes and models if you look. There are services that you can pay to get this info (which may be required for some makes/models), but often google will tell you if you ask nice enough. It's not really much of a secret. The easiest way to find...
  15. Interesting fleet of JT test mules in Colorado mountains 6-28-21 PIX ATTACHED

    When I lived in Coal Creek Canyon, we used to see test mules all the time. Audi and Toyota mostly, IIRC. Also Hyundai a time or two.
  16. Dear general mint

    Supposedly, you can route through it remotely via VPN. I say "supposedly" only because I've not personally done it.
  17. Dear general mint

    Won't help much if you're not at home, but for less than $50 all in you can set up a PiHole on your home network. It varies depending on what you're doing, but it cuts down data throughput by as much as ~25% by diverting all traffic from ad servers to nowhere where they never actually load. As a...
  18. Using brakes to turn sharper like the new bronco and LC200

    Came here to suggest cutting brakes. Renegade beat me to it.
  19. Additional bed anchors

    A few people have installed commercial L-Track. It's used in aircraft and such to tie down loads, and is only slightly overkill. Super versatile, lots of attachments, and relatively inexpensive. Some commercial group recently started selling kits to go around the periphery of the bed up top with...
  20. Opinions on putting stickers on the inside roof of your freedom panels?

    I can't speak to stickers on the textured plastic, but I used to keep magnets on the roof vent of my '62 VW bus. Places we'd been. We got a few magnets gifted to us. That sort of thing. Bus left a decade ago, but most of the magnets are on the fridge still. It was fun, and added character (not...
