Definitely air down (Maybe low teens) and lock front and rear. Try 4 low to see if you can crawl on top of the snow. you might have to back up and forward a couple time to create a ramp to get up on the snow.
I can see and respect your point of view here which is why I was open to critiquing my idea. Any respectable owner would disclose or remove a modification that changed the trailer 12V from constant to switched before they sold it. In my case I moved to the Gladiator from a full size pickup...
I want to do the same thing but have an idea to go at it a different way. This is my plan but have not tested any of it yet but should work.
Step 1 - Make the 30 amp hitch fuses (36 and/or 37??) , "Switched" similar to the USB switched writeup here: center console USB switched
This step is...
I ended up ordering the MetalCloak UnderCloak Integrated Armor System . A total of 15% of with the military discount was to good to pass up.
UnderCloak
Picking mine up today from getting the steering box replaced. I had to take my Gladiator in for other warranty work, leaking motor mount???, so I mentioned that it wandered since day one and the TSB number. They replaced it with no questions. We will se if it makes a difference since it didn't...
That is a wide open question. If snow is your main concern look for 3-peak rated tires.
For my use which is about 95% on road, 5% off road I am enjoying my 37" BFG KO2s. They handled what snow we had last year in MD.
I am currently running 37's with stock 4.10's. I have driven and wheeled up and down the east coast with this setup. I get decent mileage on the road and I see 8th gear on the highway more than what seems to be the norm. With the Rubicon 4.0:1 transfer case wheeling in 4 low is fine. However, I...
Nope, They should combine the best of the Rubicon and the Mojave and name it Jackhammer or Sledgehammer in homage to the KOH race, than both would die due to lack of interest :rock:
Until I bought the Gladiator I was a die-hard Toyota-fan and most of my friends still drive Toyota's this was a good video. I knew I wanted a new mid size truck that could wheel. I drove both a new Tacoma and the Gladiator and their was no comparison in "off-road ability". I am so enjoying the...
Sounds like you will not be happy with a Gladiator.
I traded my 2019 RAM Bighorn 4X4 5.7 Hemi for my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon based on my personal wants and needs and never looked back. I decided I missed wheeling, took a 4 year break, and also needed a truck while limiting myself to one...
I will be curious as to what others say that have been there. I am about the same distance and have the same thoughts. I think if I ever have a reason to be close to there I will go, but to go out of my way for that badge is not worth the overall cost to me.
Not feeling the love on this one:
-Affordable and $20,000.00 should not be used in the same article in my opinion.
-(although upgraded axle housings are recommended for tires over 35 inches, with or without portals) - very conservative and would require more $$$$$
Add to that, 4.10 X1.19 =...
I have the 37" load range Cs on my Gladiator on stock Rubicon rims and chose that package based on the rotational weight savings and that I try to keep a light payload while wheeling. So far with 8,000 miles on them I have been impressed including wheeling at Windrock, Uwharrie, AOAA and a few...
I decided to take the plunge and buy this and the chucks that I mentioned above. Both got here this week so did some work and testing. For a little over $35.00 with tax it was worth the try. the hoses are 1/4" outside diameter 100 psi hose and the fittings are quick disconnects. One of the hoses...
add these and it is under $35.00 total: https://www.amazon.com/CZC-AUTO-Straight-Compressor-Accessories/dp/B07Y2Z4BS1/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2813P3BR3WLB4&keywords=closed%2Bflow%2Bair%2Bchuck&qid=1663596677&s=automotive&sprefix=closed%2Bair%2Bchuck%2Cautomotive%2C89&sr=1-3&th=1
