  1. Aux batt system - Where to tap into the jeep?

    Where I’m at now- I have a small AGM aux battery mounted in the bed. All it does is power the Dometic fridge. It is charged by a Renogy DC-DC charger/isolator (DCC1212-20). I have it set up on one of the high current Aux switch outputs, which acts as an isolator, so I just have the D+IGN running...
  2. Any reason not to get a spray in bed liner? Any considerations I'm missing?

    There are two reasons I don't like bed liner for my jeep. One is weight. It all adds up. Not sure what the weight of a liner is... Maybe 20#. The second it that it is dark. With a cap on the bed the dark color makes it harder to see stuff in the bed. I see why other like them. They are tidy and...
  3. Here is what I did about my diesel bottoming out.

    Death Valley was a good test of the suspension and overall I am very, please. We spend all of the first two days on rough corrugated roads or worse and parts of the third and fourth day. I ran 24 psi for a lot of it and dropped down to 14 for parts as well. At no point did I feel the suspension...
  4. Here is what I did about my diesel bottoming out.

    I did confirm that on the old springs, both sides are the same 6377AA number. I have about 100 miles or so on the road now with the truck mostly packed for our trip including the RTT and I am still feeling like this has been the right move. Handling is way better. It does not have excessive...
  5. How hard have you pushed your stock Gladiator?

    I don't think you need to do anything to bring that thing out west and have a great time. Are there trails you will not be suited to do? Yes. If you lift it X amount or put X tires on there will still be trails you have no business on. Take what you got and learn what its weak spots are and then...
  6. Here is what I did about my diesel bottoming out.

    The springs are at home, so I'll have to look tonight after work. I just pulled that number from a picture I had. My build date was March 12, 2021
  7. Here is what I did about my diesel bottoming out.

    That is a fair question. I should look and see if I can read the tags. Stand by. Looks like the one I have a picture of says 6377AA.
  8. Here is what I did about my diesel bottoming out.

    I have a 21 diesel Sport. I was looking for a better solution for the front suspension. I use it for touring with five people. I don't daily drive it, so it is all about long highway miles followed by a few days on trails or in the woods and then back home on the highway. The vehicle's max rated...
  9. Offroad Tips for newbie

    Ya, maybe jeep calls it something else... off-road cause control or something... whatever... the brakey, slow, computer, fancy button, careful mode.
  10. Offroad Tips for newbie

    My advice is to play. Don't take it or anyone else opinions too seriously. Learn from everyone but remember that people have different experiences and biases so keep an open mind too. There really is not one answer to most questions. You are not doing it wrong if it is working for you. You are...
  11. 3rd shock over rear axle

    I have a 21 Diesel sport S that did not come with one, but I was surprised to experience significant wheel hope in deep snow offroad. I wonder if this would help. These things have the upper and lower links so close together to fit under the bed (I guess) that it does not take much compression...
  12. Recommendations for heavy duty springs?

    I put air springs in to handle extra weight and they are really effective. Low cost easy to install and adjustable for any load.
  13. wheel hop in fresh snow

    I had it some under similar conditions but it was manageable. More or less throttle always seemed to find a spot that worked. I was a bit surprised because I always figured it was a property of leaf spring suspension.
  14. Draining water from separator ONLY when warned?

    Thanks. If anyone has dimensions of a new not swollen one, I can find the size. If viton swells it's from the water, not the fuel but it is fairly good with water too. (I design fuel pumps for a living.)
  15. Draining water from separator ONLY when warned?

    I assume you are talking about a Viton O ring that would not be prone to swelling with contact with fuel oil. Do you have a McMaster part number of what you used?
  16. bigger tires on unlifted Sport S

    Jeep is 100% stock sport S with a diesel. The tire are E load rated Falkon WildPeak A/T3W - Size: LT255/80R17 that are spec'ed at 33.1" tall and 10" wide and a weight of 52.5Lbs each. Rubicon Falkons for reference, are C rated, 285/70R17, 32.8" tall, and 11.1" wide with a weight of 63.7Lbs...
  17. Cap for Gladiator

    RLD with the top off.
  18. Mopar AUX + Mopar Offroad Lights Question

    If you are going to put two sets of lights on one aux circuit, an inline fuse at the point they split would protect each leg with its appropriate fuse. Again the fuse protects the wire, not the device. Also, keep in mind that automotive fuses are slow. If you pull say 16 amps through a 15 amp...

    Love mine.
