that’s my plan for this truck - an overlander. I don’t plan any engine or mechanical upgrades aside from suspension - probably a 2.5 Clayton overland with 37” Patagonias.
I forgot a couple of things I’d like to see on the gladiator:
1. A truck/towing page on the Uconnect that shows all of the relevant gauges for towing a trailer - for the eco diesel, that would include exhaust gas temp and turbo PSI.
I know we have the off-road pages, but they won’t load if...
Is the close out panel between the front bumper and the grille a necessary price of equipment? When you get an aftermarket bumper is it discarded?
if it’s not necessary and it gets discarded by almost any front upgrade (including an option to toss it when installing the MOPAR front aux light...
Next install I did was the MOPAR trailer brake controller (TBC). The other guys here on the forum have done a fantastic job with their installation write-ups, so I won't go into any of the installation details. I will say that I didn't realize I was going to lose the only 12V outlet in the...
Hey Guys,
Here's my first build thread... it's on the Rockslide Engineering steps install. I'm going to write my notes out first, then add the photos.
The first thing I did, was lay out all of the parts to make sure I had everything the instructions said I should have. In fact, I did not. I...
the manual says what the max GCWR is. You’ll have to get your curb weight (GVWR on the sticker on your door) and subtract your maximum loading capacity (the other sticker on the door) and subtract that from the GCWR.
So the formula will look something like this:
Max trailer weight = GCWR -...
Hey guys,
I've had my JT for almost three weeks. I picked it up the Saturday prior to thanksgiving. Since then, I've put Rock Slide Engineering steps, the MOPAR trailer brake controller, the 67 rail and phone holder, and a couple of cosmetic things like sill protectors, window vent shades...
I have JL rubicon rock rails for sale. Yes, I have two pairs of rock rails, one for the JT and one for the JL.
price: $150
the JL rails have been in the garage since we drove off the lot (replaced at the dealer before we left, put the rails in the truck bed (old vehicle). Sorry, no...
Awesome! I guess I can go hitch up then. Thanks!
— off-topic alert!
Unfortunately I still need to go visit the service department for body bolt issues while installing rockslide steps. One of the bolts wasn’t even tightened from the factory, and I don’t think can be. It’s really hard to...
Installing the MOPAR controller now. Thanks for the note on that upper strap. I was having a lot of difficulty following that part of the instructions.
(Caveat... I didn’t read all 13 pages) has anyone thought that we could unscrew the “box” from the bracket to make the whole kit look like...
I don’t have my gladiator yet (maybe next week), but I took our JL to a local (brand new) car wash and was pretty disappointed. Maybe it’s because we don’t wash the JL very often, but I don’t think it did a very good job- left lots of dirt - especially In places with right angles like where the...
It seems that Ford will have the bronco truck, the F-150, the Ranger, and something called the the Maverick. They’re scrapping all the different car types and adding more truck types.
It seems like the ranger, and maverick would get in each other’s market. But what do I know.
