  1. Best gears for regearing

    Within the last day or two, I saw a video that brought up an excellent point. When going into the 5.13 to 5.3x range, you're giving up significant pinion strength. A mechanic was indicating he has never had to repair a 4.10-4.88 (I think) gear set and he's repairing 5.xx almost exclusively.
  2. Best gears for regearing

    Dana Spicer has been in business and provided parts and complete units to manufacturers for how many decades? I'm not opposed to using newer manufactures, but on this expensive of an upgrade without question D/S would be my first choice. If I'm broken down 1500 miles from home, I'll take...
  3. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Luckily, the only time my butt complains is if I eat Mexican food that's been sitting out too long or years ago when I learned my lesson at Golden Corral.
  4. Hood Mounted Solar Panels

    I think the draw, no pun intended is the flexible nature of the panel, electronics have been sorted out and it's sold as a package. Hook it up and forget it. The Cascadia setup is only 30 watts, but again, easy set up...and your done. It's obvious why the Rubicon model has a smaller panel...
  5. Old, Grumpy, and yeah, sometimes I smell bad ..........

    Just keep thinking that Dan...LMAO
  6. Last Year of the Gladiator (2024) -- says dealer

    Sales ploy to create urgency.
  7. Bed rail package worth it?

    Don't forget, the rear seat backs themselves create lockable storage. Each have a lock keyed to the Jeep key and prevent it from folding down.
  8. ARB Twin Compressor Installed -- mounted under bed, above spare

    The cylinders are protected as long as you have a good air supply. To protect is as easy as adding a couple of fittings and running some airline to relocate the air filters. Additionally, there are electronics and fan in between the cylinders that you may have an issue with if not protected...
  9. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Bet that sounds great going down a washboard road! Good thing is, it's a relatively easy fix with a trip to a parts counter.
  10. What to do with old hardware after upgrades

    Unless you're needing the money, I'd strongly recommend keeping it or any parts you upgrade. Life happens and if you damage the part and can't justify a repurchase at least you have the stock part to get you by. Also, If you end up selling the vehicle either for an upgrade or again if life...
  11. I did a bad thing... a tree landed squarely on the hood and passenger fender

    I've been in the insurance business for almost 20 years. Not once has this been a factor other than who goes on the check. What I've said hundreds of time is if you're going to upgrade...during a repair is the time to do it, but it's not at the Ins. Co's expense. Unless there's a stipulation...
  12. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    is yours a 2020? Do the rears use the disc brakes for the e-brake or were there mini brake shoes that went into the hat of the rotor?
  13. Jefe’s Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel

    did you get the standard or the .188 wall thickness? Also, the black strip below the door and above the rubi rail...what is it and where did you get it? Looks like a good option for those of us that don't want to drill the sheet metal!
  14. Auto start stop not working?

    Are you wearing your seatbelt? It’s deactivated if it’s not buckled.
  15. GAIA Fastback installed

    Gunna have to increase the rear lift to about 10 and shorten the front lift by about 3 to get the RTT to be manageable.
  16. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Looks Great! Exceptionally well proportioned. Gotta have some specks please. Lift: Tire size: Wheel with back spacing More photos to include something taken looking down the side showing poke front and rear. Anything else you'd like to add. Thanks in advance.
  17. Silly $27 Accesory

    Nope. It looks like a TJ under throttle turning left, which were plagued with Torq wheel lift.
