So I've been running the numbers and I feel like I am probably stuck with my Gladiator for another 8 years or so. But I do a ton of miles every year, so I'm planning to maintain it religiously and get 250 - 300k miles out of it. I've already done the cam swap on this motor and at the...

I am preparing to head on my next big trip in a few weeks and one of the improvements I want to make is to prevent the back seat area from becoming a disorganized disaster again. Being a bit OCD I get stressed out when there's stuff lying about and as any of you who have done long roadtrips...

I figured out a symptom of a dying battery that may help others. These trucks of course have a "smart" alternator. Mine was generally sitting at 14.1-14.4 volts all the time. Not very smart, but at least it was charging. I only saw it drop down significanly during a very long road trip...

I am wondering if anybody has done any sort of underbody storage for the Gladiator? My thought is, it would be nice to carry recovery straps, soft shackles, winch extensions and so on all the time, but it takes up precious cargo space. I was thinking if there was some sneaky place to store...

My jeep came with the factory chrome running boards. Super functional, but I'm not big on the chrome. I've since replaced them with some sliders. I know I can answer this myself by posting them to marketplace or whatever and seeing what I get but I don't want to deal with the hassle, so...

I was just on a really long road trip, and about 1500 miles from home, the 2H light started to flicker. Then the "Service Transmission" message came on. It didn't make too much sense that my 6spd would give a service transmission message. I pulled over, looked underneath for anything bad...

Hi, I recently replaced the passenger side intake cam on my truck. Maybe a week earlier I had the clutch recall done, replacing the clutch. All was well, but pretty soon I noticed the dreaded 3000-3500 RPM rattle again. Most noticeable in 3rd, going uphill under load. I was fearing it...

Many years ago I had a sweet 1991 BMW 318is, and I had a set of tire chains in the trunk. I used them maybe once but boy did I feel smart to have them- it was chaos on the roads after a heavy snowstorm, cars were at 45 degree angles and on the sidewalks everywhere, but that little RWD BMW...

Just fixed my ticking 3.6 this weekend. Total repair time was 6 hours and it was an intermediate level repair. If you have a decent set of tools, some experience and no warranty its definitely possible for the backyard mechanic. Symptoms were a generally quiet engine, except over 3000rpm...

My truck does not have the optional inverter and 120V outlet. No problem, I've got an inverter lying around. Before I wire in the inverter to the spot where the factory 120V outlet normally would be, I am wondering if it is more practical to instead provide 12V via a panel mount Anderson...

I thought I'd start a build thread for my 2021 Sport S. Its pretty basic, but it fits my needs and my budget and should be a good platform to build what I want. My last vehicle was a 2006 Jeep Commander, which I had built out as an overland/extreme roadtrip vehicle. The Commander was...

Hi All, Just picked up a 2021 Sport S with the 6-speed to replace my aging Jeep Commander. To be honest, I haven't had a car payment in 20 years so moving to something newer was a mental and financial leap for me but I've wanted a JT for a while. I plan to build out another overland rig...
