Looking at the Best top roll up Tonneau covers… I’m leaning towards the twill as my wife’s convertible has that material and I’ve had a vinyl cover on a past truck and couldn’t hardly use it when it got cold out. Comments… Go!

I'm the kinda person that changes their drink with the seasons... from frozen daquiris and seltzers in summer, to busch/miller (maybe a cider or 2) in the fall, to Guinness and Jameson through the winter, then normally Yuengling or red Stripes in the spring. That being said... I actually don't...

Thank you so much guys!!! I was originally looking at a JLU which is under my #5000 lb hitch…. Then my wife said, well you have always wanted a gladiator. Online I was reading I could upgrade my hitch, but the more research I did, I think I’m in the 14,050 with 18,000 GVWR. Which would mean I...

Ford (Mavrick) and Hyundai is definitely targeting a different crowd!!!!

I fear I may have made a mistake. I have a 2007 E450 Superduty Gulfstream RV. My plan after a big trip down to Florida and back after seeing tons of people flat towing Wranglers and Gladiators was to go that route instead of a tow dolly and little car. A quick google search made me feel I was...

This reminds me of the bottle rocket wars and 3 pump BB gun wars we used to have on our street growing up... Please tell me I'm not the only one who had those?

I don’t remember the exact diameters, but I can check tomorrow at work. If memory serves the AB outlet is close to 80mm. Our duct is an oval shape across the fan shroud for clearance (same equivalent diameter) then the 90 into the TB bellows has a very specific shape we optimize with CAE...

I just traded in my 2nd Ford Flex in for my Gladiator… on the outside, they were comparative with either people liking it or hating it! But I have to say for as comfy, roomy and great of a ride down the highway the flex was, this gladiator is so much more fun to drive! I actually enjoy the...

somewhat... Air density/pressure in the mountains (altitude) is thinner/lower... so if your aftermarket intake is a larger diameter and the filter is more porous it may be able to make up for the drop in air pressure/density. The other point of a "Cold Air Intake" was to pull fresh/cold air from...

If you have a GoPro or similar camera, you could move it around in the engine bay until you find the area the sound is the loudest. I considered doing that on another car that I was having suspension noises on, but figured it out before I had to take that step. Just a thought…

I smell a Troll...

Yes, I oversaw the design of the OEM "Clean Side Duct" is how we refer to it. From the Airbox to the Throttle. We designed and currently manufacture the 3.6L, 2.0L and the Diesel Clean side duct assemblies for the JL/JT. Actually I have a Patent on the Clip between the bellows and the Airbox on...

I’m a Tier 1/Tier 2 supplier to Stellantis… nothing but great engineers up there. Hopefully my first Jeep keeps me coming back and doesn’t turn as sour as the OP!

Took delivery of my 21 Willys just 2 weeks ago… first ever Jeep. Have wanted one for years and years, was finally able to pull the trigger. I get to drive a vehicle I designed parts for which is extra cool (nerd factor)! Main plan is to flat tow behind our RV and do some more adventuring!

Sorry, a little late to this discussion. (Just joined) I’m the Engineering Manager responsible for the Clean Side Duct from the AB to the TB. Long story short, unless you want a full blown novel, the stock system is optimized considering many items. Cold Air intakes on their own only let you...

So that connector (silver part) is made by HENN (Austrian). I design oem induction piping... they are known for have a "rocky" connection. It's normal. If you take it off, just make sure the seal is well seated back in it's groove and rub just a touch of soapy water on the seal before...
