I'm not directly familiar with that style of block heater but they're designed to be submerged into a fluid or in this case at least installed into a block. Regardless of how it's installed, you're testing it by removing the medium it's designed to heat. So where is that heat going to go? Air is...
I can confirm that the post where I said the AFE Rapid Induction intake works with the snorkel is accurate and it does in fact work with the snorkel in the way that I said it does.
Just passed 30k miles this week, 25k of the those on the Sy-Clone prefilter and Rapid Induction intake. Zero...
A full integrated under-bed high capacity diesel tank would be great.
Never thought finding diesel in small town America would be so difficult sometimes, all the local guys must just be filling up their OBS F350s from their AG tanks at home
That's the joke about Corvette owners in many automotive circles...
Mine's one of one, it's the only silver zo6 with automatic transmission and blue interior manufactured on the 29th of February during a late season snowstorm by a union worker named Ted.
Yessir, '04 SRT10, 8.3L V10 + Tremec T56 6 speed.
Few mods, 93 octane tune, racing clutch, 2" drop, dual 3" stainless, drag radials on the rear.
Old video of a little uphill pull to record the exhaust:
So not really today, it's been a project over the last week or so. Made a seat delete platform for the JT. Still needs carpeted. Mounted a JCT molle panel and wired a Bluetti Charger1 DC-DC converter to charge a Bluetti AC180 to power a Dometic CFX3 45. Charges at a solid 500 watts and not too...
I'm still running the factory fox shocks, I bump stopped and spaced down the shocks so I still maintain factory travel. I've wheeled all over and it's tackled everything just fine. Let's be honest, the limiting factor of the Gladiator wheeling isn't suspension travel so much as the wheelbase and...
I put together my own lift but I'm using the AEV high capacity diesel specific coils with my ecodiesel Rubicon. With a winch in the front and rebel rack with RTT on the rear I added a 1" spacer to the front and it has a bit of a rake that perfectly levels out when I hook up a trailer or really...
Threw together a rear seat delete panel really quick before a last minute trip. Cooler was much more usable but still a pain in the ass. I'll be carpeting the panel and adding an access hatch this weekend. Ordered a Dometic CFX3 45 and a Bluetti AC180 last night that will get installed where the...
My Jeep drives great with the longer Mopar lower arms and no Geometry brackets at all. I'm not sure why as the factory geometry has gotten more compliant over the years with longer arms people seem to think you need geometry correction brackets more often...
Not saying they aren't beneficial to...
If you're somehow actually getting better mpg with bigger tires it's an extreme outlier with some odd combo of factors at play, because that isn't the case pretty much ever, and for many reasons. Understand that at a base level in pure physics, it takes more energy to push that vehicle down the...
Installed an overpriced hoop and wired up some Harbor Freight special lights to go with my Harbor Freight special winch.
Does the hoop serve a purpose? No, not really.
I need to get myself a safety thimble.
Oh I'm not so worried about it at all. I've been doing the wheeling thing for about 20 years or so and this rig is a long term girl. What happens, happens. I built my TJ for rock crawling and lightness, keeping those fenders and stuff out of the way. But for the Gladiator I wanted to keep the...
The wife actually did take one little video, not exciting or anything but uploading for baby diesel sounds. Also, is anybody familiar with the creaking sound? Is that just the rotation in the OEM bushings? I've been on JJs on my TJ for over 10 years and they don't make any noise, just not used...
