This video blows the Motor Trend review out of the water ...

Unless one of the newer spurs enters Kentucky, the TAT (TransAmerica Trail) doesn't cross it. It does cross Tennessee, but toward the south. This is a few years old, but I doubt it has changed that much ...

I had a fellow at a red light in a Gladiator ask me what size tires, lift and wheel offset I was running.

Perhaps if you presented the problem, you might get a better answer. You asked a question that no one can answer: How long is the battery going to last? What's the problem? Are you trying to camp for three weeks without ever running your engine?

I was a 301XX/328XX (avionics comm-nav), then later a 118XX (primary aircrew comm maintenance). My last fifteen years or so I worked the development, build and deployment of a replacement ABCCC capsule--the box that held 23 of those radios I mentioned in my prior post, as well as both data...

Just a few random thoughts on this ... The dual-antenna array reforms the radiation pattern for the antennas. Instead of it being circular, as it would be for a single antenna mounted on a perfect ground plane, it is ideally shaped to provide more power (and receive sensitivity) to the front...

Ace Engineering rock rails are compatible with the OEM Rubi rock rails, which I'm assuming is what someone has called "rock protection sill guards". They serve me well as a step..

Bet if you want to add lights on it, you could find a welding shop to do the work to add mounting tabs, then a powdercoating shop to take care of the finish.

If you'd like to see a little bit of video of it, I have some here (starting about 3:47). The fellow I'm traveling with (Fred) has been a volunteer out at the park for years. He'd contacted me and asked if I'd like to film a trip out there that he would guide. My folks live in San Diego, so I...

Thanks! Pretty much everyone in the neighborhood knows me as "The Jeep Guy", LOL. I walk the neighborhood most mornings and wave at folks driving by on their way to work. And some will stop and ask what my latest or next adventure is. I do make a point of leaving whichever rig I took parked...

Well, I kept both ... And the Wrangler makes the better overlanding rig ... But that doesn't mean that I don't ever take the Gladiator out on a trip (photo at Black Gap, a Jeep Badge of Honor trail, shot by Susan Dragoo. You can find her work in OutdoorX4 and Overland Journal magazines)...

That covers a lot of ground. A couple years back I drove the western half of the TransAmerica Trail( which also covers a lot of ground, LOL). I put together a ten part series of videos about the trip. After each part, I have what I call a Studio Chat, each one covering a different aspect of...

Here's my prior response in a similar thread ... https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/aux-switches-what-are-you-putting-on-them.29018/#post-471337 The KC LZR lights are now installed as described there ...

I opted for a Warn Zeon 10-S. A 10,000 pound winch is sufficient for the Gladiator (5,000 pounds curb weight doubled to 10,000 pounds is the common rule of thumb). The advantage with the 12,000 pound is, you can pull yourself out along with a trailer. If that's not your use case, then...

Basics have been pretty well covered. But there are things beyond basic that make more difficult tasks achievable to the home mechanic. Once you have your must-have tools, consider a tool-a-month purchase. During times when cash is a little short, purchase something small. In months when you...

Yes. I was puzzled by that until I actually installed them (they arrived with no instructions). There is tab on the mirror that you trap behind the hook that would normally secure the cloth loom for the wire bundle. There's not much clearance to make that happen, but it did go with a slight...

Yesterday was a gorgeous one in OKC. Started off in low 40s, but would end up about 70° before day's end. Decided to remove the doors and top from the Gladiator while I ran some errands around the metro. I knew it was forecast to rain the next day, so put it all back together again in the...

Excellent shot.

I had a similar thing happen to me while driving my JK, except on a backroad highway while driving from OKC to Atlanta. I had just turned off some small road onto a two laner. And immediately saw a sign that said, "Left Lane Ends 1/2 mile". Remember, two lane road. Uhhh, and then I notice a...
