  1. Oil change at dealership led to huge engine problems

    Know what? That it takes a PhD or a degree in rocket science to do an oil change? I’m not denying that people don’t have issues, but tens of thousands of people get their vehicles serviced at dealers across the country without any problems. I love working on my own truck but they doesn’t mean I...
  2. Oil change at dealership led to huge engine problems

    I just got my first Jeep Wave oil change... with 9qts of oil and a $50+ filter in the diesel I'm happy to take it. Aside from doing a horrible job dripping used oil everywhere, they did fine. I'll gladly take my Jeep in for my 2 more free changes. Some folks around here have an unreasonable fear...
  3. Final Edition of Diesel Wrangler - Farout Rubicon

    RIP. The writing was on the wall when they announced the end for the Ram. I’ll enjoy mine and hope it lasts a long time!
  4. Adventure Academy: Vermont

    Vermont is fun. Beautiful at this time of year. Lots of great trails up there if you know where to look. Have fun!
  5. Diesel gladiators-unicorns?

    Too late. Already jumped off a cliff...
  6. Diesel gladiators-unicorns?

    Sure, but hard to find =/= valuable. Someone has to want them. The used car market of the last 2 years has been bananas. You could sell a clapped out 20yo Corolla to Carmax for $5K. I'm definitely not arguing that the last few years of non-depreciation haven't been great as a Jeep owner, just...
  7. Where is the instant MPG display setting?

    Mine was there when I first got it a few months ago, disappeared and came back, and now it's gone again. Must be a sign for me to use more skinny pedal.
  8. Rusty's vs Rock Hard - frame side rear control arm skids

    For anyone reading this worrying about the fit of Rusty's skids, I installed mine today in about 15 minutes. I actually reached out to them because with a "dry fit" I was 100% convinced they weren't going to fit. (Pic below... the control arm bolt is right under the big hole at center. Yes, I...
  9. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Put some frame-side LCA skids on in anticipation of my trip to Moab next month. Between this and my diff skid I think I have all my low-hanging bases covered for wheeling this land yacht, but we'll see. Still somewhat worried about the fuel filter housing...
  10. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    You could do Fins in a Subaru. Give it a rip--it's a fun, scenic trail and a great way to familiarize yourself with what Moab has to offer.
  11. Diesel gladiators-unicorns?

    Amen. Anyone buying ANY modern vehicle as an investment is fooling themselves. The insane used market of the last few years has got people thinking their vehicles won't depreciate in the future. Bad thinking... it's a vehicle, not an investment vehicle. (See what I did there?) I'll gladly enjoy...
  12. How often has your exhaust system done a Regen

    Sorry, I guess I am just going by what the iDash says. The only regen statuses I've ever seen are "off' or "pass." I think of the passive, background regen as different than a regen where your Jeep dash tells you to maintain current driving condition until the process is complete, but maybe...
  13. How often has your exhaust system done a Regen

    I have an iDash. My trip to work is about 15 minutes each way. I have probably seen 6-7 passive regens over the course of 3500 miles. Soot level gets to 80 or so, passive regen kicks in, EGT 3 goes north of 1000 degrees and the regen shuts off with DPF under 10% if I let it run all the way. Have...
  14. How quickly can I put longer springs in the front

    If you have the right jack stands to get the frame rails high up enough, you should be able to do it in 2 hours tops. I installed my front spacers in like 90 minutes (included dropping the axle and pulling the springs), and that was while worrying about chasing a toddler around. Pretty simple...
  15. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    That’s what I’m hoping for. I dragged my diff a decent amount on my JKU and the JT is even longer, so I figured it needed some coverage.
  16. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Threw on a Motobilt diff cover and Next Venture diff skid I picked up (brand new and powdercoated!) off a dude on the JL forums. Super beefy and I like that the skid covers the pinion seal and yoke.
  17. Cowl Body Armor

    To protect your vulnerable cowls from… things. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel you need cowl armor, you’re probably up a creek!
  18. Remove carpet

    Prepare for a lot more road noise and heat if you just remove and/or remove and Rhino Line or Line-X. I have no experience with the ArmorLite listed above (looks nice) but had the carpet out of my old JK and regretted it any time I wasn’t wheeling.
  19. Regearing for Dummies

    This is one job I won’t tackle myself. Pay a shop to do it—it’s worth it.
  20. Several interesting Gladiator mod options at Pigeon Forge today

    Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the passion and work that went into all of these. Live and let live. If I had to pick one, I’m going with the 6-wheeler!
