Out here in the desert southwest, I have adopted a policy that I do not go beyond 36 months on the same battery. After the first 36 months; you are on "borrowed time".

Firstly, I never go to Mexico with this truck. I don't want to give the Mexican cartels anything more than a weird smile as I pass by. There, they just take what you have and stick you in a jail waiting for ransoms to get paid. And as for Canada, who cares. Not issued a front plate in New Mexico...

New Mexico, no front plate needed and none applied. I love the look without the plate...!

Well, I came over from a 2021 TRD Pro Tacoma. I loved it except for the long drives. Until then, I had never even considered Jeeps (at all). I cut my teeth in high school and beyond with FJ-40's. Had one in high school and one later in life. I always enjoyed the reliability of Toyota's. But, my...

My wife's Wrangler Sahara Unlimited had AUX switches in it. Not sure why, but it is handy... My Gladiator Rubicon has them and I use them for a few things....

The higher density populations tend to be less enthused about the wave.

The problem with GMRS/FRS is they are pretty much line of sight. If you can see it you should be able to talk to it (provided you are on the same channel). Now, that doesn't mean if you can see someone across the valley 20 miles away you should be able to talk to them. There are limits to the...

Lovin the lockers here. On a ride in February south of Caballo Lake, the folks in the club were impressed how well the Gladiator did with the lockers... But this guy in the Gladiator was doing ok for it being just after demonstrating the crash bar function.

Aw, now he is going to have to wait 30 minutes before he can go for a ride....!

This will work for CB/Ham Radios out to 440 MHZ band (good enough for FRS/GMRS. I use something called an ATAS 120 for comms on VHF/UHF and in the HF frequencies from 1 radio. I have mdded my FT-857D to operate in the CB/FRS/GMRS frequencies as well as the HAM bands...

I'd just worry about going over a bump and the whole thing being bricked.

Happy wife, happy life. Here is what it took to make mine happy......

Hotheads!. I have the OEM liner on my Rubicon Gladiator and I put a Hotheads on my wife's Overland. The Hotheads with the sound assassin is a better replacement.

I can put stickers on anything and call it a Jeep. Hell they even put Jeep stickers on Chrysler and Fiat cars and sell them as Jeeps. I am going to print some Jeep stickers for my toilet and charge folks to sit down on it......

Getting into the Duck thing here. We have "ducked" about 35 Jeeps here in Las Cruces, NM.

I like the Gladiator the way it is. I have both the Wrangler (22 JL with the 4 cyl) and the Gladiator. They both look great. As for the 4 cyl, I was very surprised in the performance on the road. I haven't even taken it on the dirt yet. It is after all for the wife and she would have a cow if I...

I really only care that the fob works. I got used to being able to check the lock status of the Jeep from far away, but that was a novelty. I do wish that the apps that communicate with the vehicle were open sourced so we could modify it for our own use, but that won't happen any time soon.

I effectively did the same thing. Went from a 2018 Tundra TRD Sport to a 2021 Tacoma TRD Pro, then over to the 2021 Gladiator Rubicon. My personal experience is the Tundra is great for hauling around big kids in the back seat but the Gladiator comes in a close second. Don't even think of the...

I decided to mount a ham radio in the truck. I was trying to figure out where the best place to mount it was. I opted for in the back of the truck but wanted to keep it closer to the cab. So, I mounted it on the front of the bed. The Tonneau cover [not pictured] fits over the mounting (with a...
