  1. Possibly pointless, MPG hack for New front bumper & winch

    After I installed my winch in the Sport stock bumper, I was left with that same brace piece and a plastic air dam that didn’t fit quite right. Glad to see it reused for this purpose, but just as another option is what I ended up getting, in case you haven’t seen it...
  2. Source for a portable shower base

    They make large cement-mixing tubs that are pretty sturdy, like this one. Perhaps add a threaded drain plug? Just brainstorming. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/concrete-cement-masonry/concrete-accessories/shape-products-reg-all-purpose-tub/st3624/p-1444441881203-c-5642.htm or...
  3. Gas mileage on sand in four-wheel-drive mode?

    I don’t think he cares about the actual MPG, more like range. And obviously knowing MPG and tank capacity can help one plan their range. Calm down with the “maybe you shouldn’t be out there” sentiment. People are all different, some like to know what they’re getting into before getting into it...
  4. Small thing...maybe you all know already (Coat Hooks)

    Given the differences in Jeep tolerances, I doubt it’d fit anyways.

  6. Seat covers

    I also saw a review of aftermarket heaters on Qtech site that mentioned they worked great through neoprene covers. Since I don’t have them stock, I was going to take the opportunity to add them between the covers and stock seats. Great to hear they’re not slippy, now to settle on a color.
  7. Seat covers

    Thanks for the reply, but to clarify, I was wondering if the neoprene is more slick when you’re sitting in it. Like in cornering, with leather for example, it can feel like you are sliding sideways because it is typically less grippy than fabric. I have a neoprene center console cover and have...
  8. Seat covers

    Could you comment on how slippy/grippy they are compared to the cloth? I also have the tan cloth interior, love the look, but collecting some stains already with only 3 months of ownership. Been contemplating these covers myself.
  9. Installing Stock Rubicon Skid Plate on Sport

    I came across a couple of locations where my sport lacked the nutserts. After watching a couple of videos on them, I am not sure they serve any purpose where a bolt/nut could not be used instead. Except of course if you don’t have access to the backside of the item you’re trying to fasten to...
  10. Jack Points for Floor jack (3 Ton Professional type)

    I also love my harbor freight creeper https://www.harborfreight.com/300-lb-capacity-low-profile-creeper-gray-63372.html edit: I see they also make one that’s got at adjustable headrest, time for an upgrade!
  11. Jack Points for Floor jack (3 Ton Professional type)

    Yeah, the specified height is just over 8 inches, but the fact that all 4 corners are up somehow makes it feel quite luxurious under there. I bough the second pair from a local midwestern hardware store. I feel you on the age, I’m not quite up there like you but have a bad back...
  12. Jack Points for Floor jack (3 Ton Professional type)

    Howdy friend, I hope your experience with using a jack for general under-truck work is better than mine. I upgraded to that same jack when I got the gladiator from my 1.5 ton low profile racing-days one. But I found that while it’s the perfect tool for the job when you need to get a wheel off...
  13. Front axle hop

    I’m a 4x4 noob, but if you’re in 4-wheel drive and your rears are spinning, wouldn’t the fronts have to spin at the same rate? But since there’s less traction up front due to weight transfer to the rear on an uphil, the fronts hop as they try to keep up with the rears?
  14. Turns out Jeeps are not Toyotas

    Ha, when I was flying down to Gupton to pick up my gladiator, I asked a buddy for a ride to the airport. He unfortunately didn’t think his truck (2005 F-150) would make it to the airport and back (about 30 mins away). I said, “in a few days, I’ll also know how that feels!” Jeep jokes for the win.

  16. Turns out Jeeps are not Toyotas

    I’m also a Toyota guy, but look at the Jeep this way: it’s that crazy girlfriend that might stab you, but she’s a lot of fun. I fully knew Jeep reliability is the very definition of the poorly-made vehicle cliche. I figured if the roof leaks, or the engine ticks, or I get the death wobble (tm)...
  17. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    It is recommended in fact, I’ve been amazed how many items for the Jeep come with incorrect or missing hardware. My Truxedo cover came with 1 incorrect bolt, not even close to the style the others were (well, I guess it was black like the others). And my Rusty’s skids came with only 3 of 4...
  18. Do I really need/want a bed cover?

    It obviously depends on your use case. Without knowing more about it, the answer would be “maybe?” I’m sorry to sound sassy, but did you really expect people to give you helpful info knowing nothing about your setup? Depends where you live, how long you leave your truck unattended full of gear...
  19. $4 mirrors, couldn't be happier. Don't pay more.

    I know the panel that these screw into is plastic, but recommend a nylon washer if preserving the paint is important to you. I removed mine to day to put my doors on for a trip, and I guess I tightened them too much.
