Actually the alignment wasn't the issue, it was just holding the mounting plate still. I didn't have a clamp or even any tape handy (and couldn't get my second hand in there), so every time I touched the pedal bracket to the screws the whole mounting plate would slide backwards. Very...
Don't forget that there is a massive military market outside the US. Jeep is not uncommon at all in a number of the world's militaries, and most can't afford to armor all of their vehicles. Not to mention, when we first got HMMWVs in SF, armor kits didn't even exist... I eventually had to...
Update: Maybe I'm learning how to drive it better or maybe the vehicle is just breaking in nicely now that I've surpassed 2000 miles on the odometer, but my average mpg is now just over 16. That's a running average from Day 1 of driving, so the increase over just the past four days from about...
I had the dealer install the 37s as soon as it was delivered from the factory, so I can't really say. I've heard others say that you lose about 1 or 2 mpg when you go up from 33s to 37s, and I've also heard that you can get a small improvement in mpg when you go up form 33s to 35s (35s...
I commute 96 miles each way every day. Putting 1000 miles per week on my JT, plus whatever fun I'm having with it on the weekend. My commute is 2.5 to 3 hours each way, with 1 to 1.5 of that struggling through about 20 miles of stop and go rush hour Interstate traffic. The rest is split pretty...
And the last thing I did to my Gladiator today was get it dirty! On the Long Run Road trail in the Washington National Forest. Just a dirt road, really, but easy opportunity to get comfortable with all the controls. I drove it up, my wife drove it down!
And finally, this weekend I installed a M.O.R.E dead pedal (actually, my wife did, since I can’t get both of my arms into the seat well at the same time...)...
...a pair of Rockblokz mud flaps...
And an Auto Vent Shade hood deflector.
So I’m a little behind the curve on this... Picked mine up about 3 weeks ago, had the dealer install a Mopar 2” lift as well as Nitto 37” Trail Grapplers on 17” Black Rhino Armory wheels. The gunmetal-color Armories (sp???) match the Sting Gray perfectly.
Took it home and stuck in the...
Thanks. I’m extremely happy with it. The color is amazing - it even looks cool in the dark - and the soft top gives it a real retro look, almost like a 1941 model... The Black Rhino wheels in gunmetal grey turned out to be a perfect match, too.
Took it to the Overland Expo East yesterday and...
Picked up my Overland on 28 SEP - only waited about 5 weeks for build and delivery. Love it!
