I hated the red dash on the Rubicon when I was still shopping around. But then I found out that when it has the tan leather instead of black, then it came with the graphite dash. So that's what I got.

How about $17,000? Yeah.... that sounds better

I've worked with some aircraft sealants that would having you cuss into next week.... cuz that's how long it'll take to remove it :CWL:

Since working as an A&P mechanic, it has opened my eyes to a lot of what causes corrosion. I would recommend (long term fix) to "wet seal" the screws, preventing any galvanization between the 2 metals. Not sure what grade steel either of the 2 metals are, but they may have varying levels of...

Or buy a house, get a free Gladiator.... they can barely give them away these days :CWL:

Thank you! I appreciate the help and encouragement!

Finally got my custom center caps with Jeep emblems installed on the RockTrix wheels. And questions on the process, my post is here: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/rock-trix-custom-jeep-center-caps.76306/

Well, I got the caps all epoxied last night. Had some leak through around the edge of the inner Jeep cap, but after it fully set over night, I was able to remove the excess with a plastic scraper and some alcohol. I'm pretty pleased with the project overall. Any questions on it, let me know!

I've been working long hours this week, nearly 14 hrs/day so I have had zero time to finish up the other 3 center caps. I hope the weather holds out this weekend and I can get the truck washed, have all the caps installed Saturday and have pics for everyone.

I saw a similar one of these from SoFlo when I was in St Thomas.

I see a similar issue happening with the Gladiator that happened with the Commander. Ill-advised engine platforms, except the 5.7. But could many afford the 5.7 option? No way, especially in what ended up being a decently strong recession. My 5.7 Commander was almost 50K in 2006. That equates to...

I looked on the website and it says they're 4900 lbs "dry weight". Idk what that all does NOT account for, but fluid wise the 3 tanks hold a total of 79 gallons. That's 550 pounds extra by itself. Like another said, you could do it locally, but I would never move it long distance. That 18' would...

Also sucks that you'd prob be calling them to make a custom camper/rack for it too. I like it a lot, but I can see the future pain the owner would go thru getting parts/accessories for it. That money he saved will go somewhere else on it if he actually keeps it--which in all honesty would be an...

"Not easy to cut up a new Wrangler, but had to be done to build something that otherwise wouldn't exist." ....yes, we know. Because Jeep hates us.

Okay, it still seems like that's a vinyl decal just for the lettering. But let us know what it ends up being when it arrives.

I Imagine the dealers that have been holding on to manual trans JTs since around March of last year. Even if they had a buyer, they couldn't let them go. That hurts!

Yep, everywhere else I looked this was the deal, super low price, BS junk fees after finally getting the truth. I was nearly fed up to the point of getting something else. I happened on mine locally, not even 30 mins away on Black Friday. When I asked about any additional fees, they told me...

Jeez, glad everone is okay. Looking at that, it could have been a lot worse. I had something pop up from a car in front of me a few months ago while driving my Commander. Had plenty of room in front of me, but I was going at least 75. Went right under their back tire and before I could react it...

The other 3 caps went a lot smoother once I got the press set up properly. All of them are taped up ready to go. One issue dawned on me as I was prepping the caps for epoxy that I don't think the JL member had considered. I slung tires as a teenager for about a year and I remembered how I...

Yeah I have the 5.7 with the QDII, tow a lot with it and take it camping when it's decent weather. We throw down the back 2 rows and fit a full-size air mattress in it :LOL:
