That's the 305 bumper. It came on the 305 Edition sold locally in Miami, but is/was available through the Mopar catalog. Had a pretty big product launch when it came out. Lots of pictures if you Google Gladiator 305.
They say that getting your GMRS license is your reward for successfully navigating the FCC website. I'd do it on an actual computer and just be ready to spend 2 hours to finally get it paid for. It's hands down the worst designed website I have ever visited.
My order got placed July 2019, Aug 2019 build, took possession September 2019. 37k miles and 29 months later still absolutely no issues with my aluminum steering box. I think both parties have valid points on this. Guys have had the new box installed, complained, received a 2nd new box, and...
The NMO mounts I've used that weren't magnetic all had the little bitey toothed thing to grip into whatever surface you mount them on. I will sand powdercoat and paint off where that thing bites to help with grounding, I've not had an issue at all. It does need some sort of ground plane. But as...
Just some food for thought, you're not stuck with just LED or Halogen. I've retrofitted so many of these headlights now I'm making the little Jeep halogen bulb covers into coat hangers. The longest part of the process is waiting for epoxy and paint to dry. When you're done you'll have the snow...
Haven't been around the forum so I'm sure it was posted but Midland did release the MXT500. Looked like a simple radio with not a lot of features but really easy to use. I'd like to see what its actual output power is. But that is one I'd be interested in for the wife's truck/our towing rig.
That is the Waylife CB Bar. It's a little spendy but it puts the radio in a super convenient spot to be able to monitor the radio. The passenger footwell mounts or underseat you'd better be really good with your keypad or have a removable faceplate. I cycle through 2 repeaters, 1 simplex channel...
This I agree with 1000%. The Btech I have is a pretty feature packed radio that can do a lot, with CHIRP. Otherwise especially for a new user everything in the manual is pretty confusing, and it's supposedly much easier to comprehend than some of the others. I still have yet to find someone make...
This is my setup in my Jeep. 50W BTech. Very clean setup you will not see an exposed wire anywhere except where it enters and exits the radio everywhere else it is all run behind the trim. It works super well I was using simplex Saturday to talk to my brother in law and was picking him up fine...
Oh that is a bummer. The one on the SuperWinch has a big reinforced eye on the end. Could easily replace it for a soft shackle or something instead of that big heavy hook.
My last Warn Zeon had the threads cast into the feet was pretty nice. It makes sense on a budget winch to not I suppose but it sure would be nice. I didn't realize you could clock the handle that would be good to keep it better protected from debris and weather.
Got mine in yesterday. Got it mounted and it started snowing hard on me. Garage is full of flooring right now so I didn't get it inside to warm the plastic grill up before I go pulling it apart to finish wiring it. Impressions were it's a sturdy unit, has a good finish on it, has enough wiring...
I ordered that one. On paper it's a better deal than the Smittybilt or HF winches. It looks like it's a new winch line from them since they got bought out. I'm willing to give it a try for 200+ less than the Warn. It's also on sale on Amazon today for 645 with free shipping which is a big deal...
That's why I say on paper, I really only bring it up because Jeep never advertises the 77:1, they only advertise the manuals on paper 84:1. Like I said, there's really not going to be much difference offroad. I either idle across a river in 1st or for almost everything else I use 3rd. There's...
There are 2 that I can say without doubt from the spec sheet. Highway MPG is 1mpg higher in the manual, and the crawl ratio on paper is lower in the manual vs the auto. There really is no difference between the manual and the auto in low as far as shifting goes. 3rd gear works from 0-15ish mph...
