  1. Possibly looking to get a camper trailer and have some questions with towing

    Yes, a combo anti-sway and WDH can improve performance, if everything is balanced accordingl. I found the 400 lb tongue weight of the YaB400 did push the back of the Gladiator down a bit more than I liked, but the max-tow springs and shocks corrected that, so the trai,r and JT are level. Good...
  2. Towing medium sized pop up camper with Tow packaged Overland

    I also use a Echo brake controller with a 3,500-3,900 lbs TaB400 trailer, it works great with the JT. Just be careful to follow connection instructions, you need to follow a setup sequence when connecting the trailer. cheers
  3. Possibly looking to get a camper trailer and have some questions with towing

    A note on WDHs, a WDH distributes the vehicle and trailer weight (on the axles) evenly across all the axles, TV and trailer,, so you are also taking weight from the JT and adding it to the trailer. If the trailer axle weight is less than the JT axle weight, you will be adding weight to the...
  4. So I didn't know what the Jeep wave program was

    The JT uses a synthetic type oil. If a dealership damages your vehicle while servicing it, they are libel for the repairs. That said, you can run an engine for several minutes, or more without replacing a drained oil pan, without damaging it. Most new engines will not even start without oil...
  5. Possibly looking to get a camper trailer and have some questions with towing

    I tow a TaB400 Outback, with a max load of 3900 lbs, I have it at around 3200 lbs loaded, and it tows quite nicely behind the JT, no bucking or sway issues. I also added the Jeep Max Tow rear progressive springs and shocks, which improved the towing handling. cheers
  6. Possibly looking to get a camper trailer and have some questions with towing

    Any trailer with a total weight of 3,000 lbs or more is required to have brakes, connected to TV in the case of electrical brakes, or a surge braking system. This is a US Federal law requirement, followed by all statea, some states have a brake requirment on smaller trailers, but everyone at or...
  7. Towing medium sized pop up camper with Tow packaged Overland

    Yes, the 1500 lbs Sea Pine trailer will tow without any issues, but since the OP’s trailer has electric brakes installed, as part of the RIVA requirements, the law requires they be Hooke up and working with the TV, regardless of the size of TV. A brake controller is less than $250, why take a...
  8. Towing medium sized pop up camper with Tow packaged Overland

    Robina, a 4,000 lbs GVW trailer is 1,000 over the minimum GVWR and US Federal and state regulations require the trailer to have working brakes connected to the TV. You are taking a risk, even if the trailer is not loaded to 3,000 lbs, and you get into an accident you are going to be libel, and...
  9. Towing medium sized pop up camper with Tow packaged Overland

    First, most state and US Federal regulations regarding towing trailers, require brakes on any trailer with a gross combined weight (trailer plus payload) of 3,000 or grater to have brakes. UHaul and most rental cargo trailers at 2,000 or more, and most larger boat trailers all have surge...
  10. Do not break your vent window to get in

    This is the Mopar listing for the part you referenced, https://www.moparwholesaleparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-door-glass-run-weatherstrip-left-68271659af seems to be available, and includes the vent glass, cost is $90. cheers
  11. Need information on panel between fender and bumper

    And it only really has an effect for freeway/highway driving where speeds are greater than 60mph. Most of my JT driving is either towing, going 50/55mph max or 45/50mph on our county rural roads. So the air dam is of little benefit to me. My plan is to replace it with the new, one piece...
  12. Need information on panel between fender and bumper

    It is called a Sport JT Closure Panel, you can replace it with a Rubicon stock bomber closure panel that does not have the air dam bit connection to the bumper. I tried ordering one, never got it, ended up getting a refund. I guess the Dremel tool is next. cheers
  13. Gladiator Bed Load Rating

    A MaxTow Sport is going to have a larger cargo capacity than the fully loaded Rubi. The weight of the additional Rubi bits reduces the truck’s cargo capacity. If you need to haul stuf or tow trailers, than the MaxTow package is what you need. On the other hand, if charging over difficult...
  14. Gladiator Bed Load Rating

    It depends on the specific trim package you get a d the extras you have added. The number is listed on the truck’s driver’s side door pilla, along with the Vin number. Hint, it is the rear axle max weight rating. In practice, the bed cargo and passengers and cargo in the cab all total must be...
  15. Help - Hard top issues

    Try tighten up the pax side latches. cheers
  16. Hidden/Buried features of the JT

    Yes, yes they do... cheers
  17. Shifting Issue into 4WD

    You are supposed to shift into neutral before shifting the transfer case to 4L, per the JT manual. I find shifting into 4H works best with engine in low RPMs, and coasting at 5-10 mph. cheers.
  18. Jeep Gladiator spotted on set of Jurassic World 3 Dominion movie

    Aubie and Len, I am with you, love the bed topper, but not the grill, I got my JT in part for that classic front grille (and becaus it’s a grand truck). cheers
  19. TSB steering issue fixed!

    Plan on a one day job, dropped mine off at mid day and got it back the next morning. The delay is the front end is realigned after the new stearing bits are put on. This adds the extra time, as not all dealers can do a front end align and farm this out. Mine was delayed at the alignment...
