If getting a motorhome, why not have a LJ to tow behind it? That extra 10 inches of wheelbase sure does make it ride nice. It's funny actually my TJ on a 4" currie rock jock (first of the Johnny Joints) and 33s rides like absolute garbage. Mostly because the Fox 2.0's need to be rebuilt and...

Yeah I have a feeling that guy really has no clue what he's talking about. I just enjoyed the vehicles side by side, and to see his unscientific comparisons. I mean he didn't even air down, and the tires on the TJ were street tires compared to MTs on the JL. But still it was cool to see them...

It will be getting replaced for sure. I'm just waiting to replace it until I have the 2Lo transfer case kit from teraflex and the OME 2" HD suspension - probably will go with a Tom Woods drive shaft as that is what is in the TJ and it has never failed or vibrated, even over 10 years of total...

I agree 100%. I absolutely love the JT. Being a truck, it is loaded down, heavy, and still performs. It is definitely more comfortable with the AEV lift. I can carry way more than I really need for a camping trip. But, it doesn't make me smile the way my little old TJ does. That thing is...

Not Gladiator specific, but it is a cool comparison of vehicles 20 years apart. Some of his comparisons had some big holes in them IMO but I enjoyed it. Saw someone post it elsewhere and thought some folks here might enjoy as well.

It appears this is just a diesel issue. I looked under my JTR (gasser) and saw no major or obvious wire rubbing issues. I was not able to see on top of the trans though so couldn't check that area. I'll try and post pics tomorrow if I can get back to it - just for comparison sake since...

Underbody and frame work on the LJ today. Detail shop did the cleaning, I am just doing the Rust Converter 3M and HD metal protect coatings for rust prevention. Does @Lunentucker approve?

While I am still waiting on some things for the JT I opted to start rust prevention work on the LJ today. The detail shop I took it to yesterday did a fantastic job under it and cleaned things off better than I expected for a good price too. So I began on the rusty spots and spraying with...

A new product arrived today. Thanks to @cug for pointing it out. Since last year working with the poop bucket...

I have never considered Europe to be part of the 'western' world.

Well you just contradicted yourself then. Europe is not the western world, but said that Europe has stricter emissions than the US. It's past my brain's bedtime so there is that too. $685. Thats honestly shockingly low to me.

Hmm. Maybe I'm thinking of a particular country.

I agree with this as well. As much as it saddens me to say, because I always wanted a diesel Jeep, but today's laws and policies.....I will never own one unless there is an absolute need. I loved my old 7.3L because it was basic. Easy to work on. Relatively cheap. A IDI would have been...

Agreed. At $500 I would have bought it. Goose gear is high selling their plywood for almost a G. They must be smoking some good stuff over there. $500 is still steep, but I am willing to bet their rhino coat is better than what I would do - things are usually always better when done in a...

yeah I gave big consideration to my wiring as well and tried running most along the body so it would all lift off together. But of course the 4 and 2 ga wires going to the bed along the frame would be an issue. And the wires on the driver side going to the rear taillights I ran inside the frame...

That goes for the medical field as well. I had 3 different well known contractors take advantage of me big time on some house repair work so I have vowed to never hire a contractor again and learn how to do it myself for everything, unless big equipment is necessary. It's a shame to have to...

I can't imagine having to take the cab off on some of these vehicles with all the aftermarket accessories. You know wires going everywhere, cable for a CB or GMRS radio - I doubt anybody with any of that added in some type of electrical connector for quick release in case the cab gets pulled...

Wow that's garbage. if that is the case then I would be expecting someone somewhere to file a class action lawsuit, especially since this paint stuff was pretty well known early on.

Well I had other plans this weekend. Guess they're canceled now. Thanks for sharing so we all can get on the game before a failure occurs. I was wondering about about the wiring as well when under the JT months ago running some more wires. Man, nothing more frustrating than having to fix...

$5,500 for that???? Please tell me you are not paying that.... This is 'warranty' correct? Unfortunately, ever since the 2010'ish era - they have all become throwaway cars. It's sad. So much emphasis is put into design/engineering and very little if any support given to dealerships to...
