This short video does a good job
of showing how to do it.
Straighten Your Jeep's Steering Wheel
A deep 15mm socket may be needed.
I did not have one.
At 76, I am so weak I used penetrating oil,
a long 15mm wrench with a cheater pipe
and a pipe wrench to turn the collar.
Just remember, turn...
In 2016, I almost bought Bitcoin.
But it had shot up to $900
so I passed on it.
In the '90s I bought stock in a gold mine.
Then gold went from $800 to $500.
Back on topic, as if exporting jobs is not bad enough
the H-1B and H-2B visa programs allowing foreign nationals
to work in the U.S...
Okay. Here you go.
Using the ugly 6-inch drop, ball mount from my 2500HD
it is clear how it destroys the departure angle.
I have plowed a furrow with that big Silverado
crossing shallow ditches.
Mounting it sideways tucks it up neatly out of the way,
restores departure angle
and provides a...
This thread is beginning to make me miss
my little old Toyota Tacoma.
It sure was handy.
One thing that appealed to me about the Gladiator
was the small size.
I could stand flat footed and reach the floor of the bed.
But that was a Sport owned by a friend.
But oh no,
I could not resist the...
What about a drop down drawbar for a step?
Most trailers, at least the ones from U-Haul,
have an 18-inch tongue height.
My stock JTR would need a ball mount with a 3.5 or 4-inch drop.
Lifted Gladiators would need a deeper drop.
That would help to get onto the bumper.
I mentioned in another...
Maybe I don't understand.
Is there a reason the tailgate is down?
At 76, 5'6" and 50 pounds overweight
I'm in better health than I deserve
but I step on the trailer hitch or bumper
and crawl over the tailgate of my JTR.
I've given up getting onto my 3/4-ton flatbed.
There is nothing to hold...
A batch of Rubicon Red doors might be a big seller.
It would give you a competitive edge over the competition.
They go with any Rubicon no matter its color.
A Rubicon owner can never have too much Rubicon Red.
On my naked TJ I have a Spider Web Shade.
It is great on hot sunny days
that burn your face and bake your brain.
Also turns rain into a fine mist.
Lets you be naked more.
And you can leave it on with or without Freedom Panels. https://www.spiderwebshade.com/collections/gladiator
The '98 TJ I bought in 2014 replaced my motorcycles.
As you age, you cage; the saying goes.
That Sahara stays naked and I have a Jeep Cave (garage)
to keep it and the doors and hardtop in.
Have not removed the top or doors on the '21 JT yet
and do not plan to anytime soon.
Although I must...
I do not rock crawl so really not qualified to answer.
But it seems like it would hold up better
and the contents would be safer
than containers and gear
jouncing, bucking and sliding around in the bed
like happens sometimes here on the property.
It would probably be good for mission critical...
My old toolbox in my Toyota was fairly tightly packed
and things did not slide around.
This new toolbox has very little in it
and ordinary turns throw stuff around.
So I recommend packing it full.
My new Craftsman toolbox from Tractor Supply
came with only one pair of skinny J-hooks.
I bought...
My '21 JT purchased in '23 with 35s came with no spare.
I tucked in a used OE JK alloy wheel given to me without difficulty.
When I traded by Fuel Fusion mounted 35s
for OE wheels off a '23 JT
we also traded spares.
The tire shop replaced the worn spare tire on the JK wheel
with a very nice used...
Why is Jeep so stingy with full time all wheel drive?
Do they get less gas mileage?
Could It have something to do with meeting CAFE standards?
I always liked it on a Subaru.
What does the cockpit look like?
Picture, anyone?
