  1. Anyone install the ICON Vehicle Dynamics Stage 8 suspension?

    I don't have a dog in this fight. I looked at it and at best that is STUPID money. First of all, you get reservoir shocks. Just not a need item and bring nothing to the table unless you are doing the Baja 1000. You need those like you need an accordion to go deer hunting with. and then...
  2. My JT came in, not buying it

    Poor mpg for a 6, low hp, strains at anything over 55 mph. That said it is a bulletproof engine, will run forever and burn just about anything you can pour in the tank. Compression was so low that you can just about turn the engine over by hand. Find one in a junkyard from an old Jeep that...
  3. Gladiator Fiberglass Shell

    I think even better it would just mount to the top of the bed like this and only go halfway over the cab. That way the wife could still pop the top over the driver and passenger seats and the husband can still keep all the gear on top. With no problem of articulation. And the winner IS!
  4. Real world monthly payments

    Lot of dealers will sell their soul to get you deep in high and long-time %, make more money than they ever make off the sale. In fact, since you pay % upfront, I have seen folks 3 years into a deal and be upside down so bad the dealer could not make the deal on a new one due to the amount...
  5. Real world monthly payments

    As the price of a Sport is $35040 then it must have some options to come up with $38985??? That is a $4k delta...there is NO SUCH thing as a "Market Value Selling Price". All that is is a BOHICA price...RUN!
  6. My JT came in, not buying it

    SIT DOWN with Jay, no one at the dealer can make a better deal. I tried to buy a truck from McHaik, after devoting almost 3 mo to it and driving over there numerous times (OVER 1 1/2 hr from my place) I still did not have a firm price nor did I have a good order. I asked REPEATEDLY to sit down...
  7. My JT came in, not buying it

    I am going to guess based upon the numbers that it is all in the ECU unless the Dodge engine has a different cam profile, used to be COMMON, you could get diff HP/Torque by ordering a different cam to be installed, I did once and it was a $10 buck upgrade, which gave me 10 HP... That said...
  8. My JT came in, not buying it

    Looking at the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Engine Options and Power Outputs The first 3.6L V6Pentastar engine. This produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Yet the 3.6 liter in the Dodge Challenger is rated at 305horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque in the Dodge Challenger; 90% of torque is...
  9. My JT came in, not buying it

    My tow requirement < 5000 lbs for business use so yes, its a torque thing for sure. To get more out of the Anemic V6 the best you can do is a SC and a chip, but no matter what you do the curve is dictated by the cam profile and we are looking at an engine that spreads its job from 800 rpm -...
  10. My JT came in, not buying it

    True, I am on my 5th F 350 and as soon as I can place an order for a 2020 F 450 I will, but I don't buy these because I want to, its because I have a NEED for them...
  11. My JT came in, not buying it

    Got a call from dealer your Jeep is here, I turned it down as we have decided to wait on the diesel, Dealer knew that way back and decided to go forward with it anyhow. One great looking Jeep. IF you are looking for a JT Rubicon this Jeep can be had on a great deal. It is at Ancira Jeep, the...
  12. Where have you been all my life, Gladys?

    I tried but not being a member of the Club Burnt Foot it just did not get hot enough.

  14. Decided I hadn’t gone far enough....

    Speaks highly of not just you but taking a JT off th lot and hammering it for 12 mi and you are not finished yet speaks how tough a rig it is. I expected nothing less from you as I am guessing you are an old tanker so tough is a middle name. Me, just an old 11B Leg...soldier on and are you...
  15. Trail Testing - Felicity Driving - Frist JT to Finish Strawberry Pass

    Here are some trails, nothing hard but lots of scenery. Table Mesa Exit off I 17 N just outside of Phoenix is THE gathering spot. Its BLM land tons of trails and always people there. I have run it all, most of them are challenging to a degree as most are in the washes and dry creek beds...
  16. Trail Testing - Felicity Driving - Frist JT to Finish Strawberry Pass

    Got BooKoo time in the Eldorado and in AZ. Done part of the Strawberry, but ran out of time to do the whole thing as I had some stuff over in the Eastern side I wanted to get at. Especially loved the drive down PCH from Carmel and up and over into the Eldorado. If you are heading to AZ this...

    About 10 am, yesterday coming out of the HEB parking lot are you on here? If so I saw you!
  20. K&N Cold Air Intake

    I did play with it and it really worked, almost too good. I had a hood and cut a hole in the side and used 2 OEM plastic tubes + OEM filter box and a # 10 Folgers can. It was quite comical but worked great. The snorkel does have a drawback albeit minor. Due to the intake runner length, the...
