  2. Great Current and Historical Jeep (and Other Brand) PDF Brochure Site

    Hard to hold onto everything forever, lots of folks in that same boat boat...Those CJ-7's were overall better then the early CJ-5's like ours, w/box frame and all. Value of the CJ-8 Scramblers is insane. Unfortunately the closest brochure we can get to that year in the offerings is either...

  5. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT 255/85/17 (35" Pizza Cutters).

    Understandably lots of Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T fans/users out there - they are well designed tires, and have been historically. As an FYI the Mickey Thompsons are under the Goodyear brand, after Goodyear bought Cooper in 2021... Cooper bought Mickey Thompson (AKA Max Track Tire Co.) in...

  7. Any update for wiring harness availability for a Gladiator being flat towed behind a RV?

    Ditto on the Curt 58964. --> Happened to finish an install of this product today. Ran an electrical fish wire (18 feet of spring steel) through the drivers side frame front to rear, then hooked/electrical taped the 4-pin harness and wiring to prevent snags and separation from fish...

  10. Battery charger, maintainer and propper use

    Lost1Wing: The Battery Minder Plus Model# 12117TC does have a port for a temp compensation sensor, however we've never used/needed that function as our temps are moderate all year... Manual says "Temperature Compensation Range 14°F - 122°F (-10°C - 50°C) In float and maintenance stages...
  11. Jeeps during the AMC years.........

    We respect our AMC Jeep Butterscotch Gold '74 CJ-5 which we alternately call "the farm tractor" or "the death machine" with ~52K original miles.

  13. Kenda Klever AT2 tread separation

    👍I'd say that $85 price was a smoking deal any truck/Jeep owner would love. Likely a listing mistake by Walmart - but if so, they honored that. There was a time quality imported tires had amazing prices, especially heavy duty All Steel Radial (ASR) trailer tires, as duties on non-vehicle...
  14. Kenda Klever AT2 tread separation

    👉 This is years late, info/thoughts/suggestion to others - however the info may benefit others reviewing/researching this or similar forum threads in follow-on years... Walmart sells tires on-line via/through many vendors. The vendor, if it is not Walmart directly, is listed on the Walmart...

    Germane to the topic of Radar Detectors... Came across this today... the general stereotype/assumption is all folks installing/ using radar detectors are "speed demons" No so in this survey by Cedar Electronics - owner of Escort and Cobra brands... " Most drivers identify as “smoother...

    JTs and JLs (and CJs, YJs, TJs, and JKs, as well as the Cherokee and the Grands) properly equipped, are great off roaders - but have all have aero characteristics of a brick when conducting high speed pavement OPS. We now drive more conservatively - mostly to avoid aggravating the challenged...
  18. Alternate liner to BedRug

    The Bed Rug is a well made, quality product, but is not cheap. We just ordered a Bed Rug Classic bed Liner (front and sides, bottom. including tailgate) for our JTRX. A Gladiator Bed Rug product would fit any year Gladiator since the beds are currently identical. BedRug Info is available at...
