I went with the Rockhard full width steel. The bumper and winch compressed my suspension 1/4". The Rockhard bumper eliminates the factory Rubicon Skid Plate. I picked the Rockhard for the way it provides a place for tow bar brackets. Not having to buy a baseplate for towing makes the price...

I did a 3/4" spacer in the front this morning. My Jeep is a 2020 Rubicon and my spacers came from Daystar. It was easy peasy. Loosen lugnuts, jack up Jeep from under the differential, place jackstand, remove lug nuts and wheel. disconnect sway bar link, disconnect lower end of shock, lower...

I haven't seen many solid core wires in automobiles. I'm not sure how your writing applies to the discussion. Anyway, it might be easier to settle the "right" kind of oil to use than to decide on the right way to splice wires. FWIW, I could NOT open NASA-STD 8739.4. I could open 8739.3...

There are choices - Patriot series Aluminum or steel - I chose steel width - stubby, medium, full - I chose full width winch plate - on top, recessed, no winch plate - I chose recessed tow brackets - mine are blue ox I ordered form Rubitrux in Boone, NC because they had the best shipping...

I judged the full width Rockhard bumper to be ~30 pounds heavier than the stock plastic bumper and skid plate. My front sank 1/8 of and inch when I installed the bumper. The Rockhard installation video shows a guy handling the bumper like it was a paper weight. I'm thinking he was...

I wrote up my install for this forum. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/rockhard-full-width-bumper-install.38206/post-617563

I should have written that crimped connections are as good as soldered connections, not better. We ended up discussing the subject for too long. I never felt flamed, but "Google is your friend" is kind of a flip answer. Sorry that came out. Some of my thought process for championing crimp...

The Navy likes solder. The Air force like crimps. I'm not surprised they are dirrerent. :) Here's how (aircraft specs). I've never seen a solder joint like this. Everybody seems to think the more solder, the better. And if you are really OCD: AC 21-99 Aircraft Wiring and Bonding...

In your next post you said making a good solder joint is an art. I agree with this. You still need a good mechanical connection (twist or square knot), clean wire, the right kind of solder, the right size of solder iron with the right tip on it, good quality heat shrink, a tool to make the...

I agree with you. Anything done poorly is poorly done. In the case of solder vs crimp, I think the joints are similar. The effects of the heat and flux on the wire and the insulation outside the joint are the primary concern. Putting wires together is not the rocket science that you could...

Say again you current symptoms. Here is the fuse layout: https://fuse-box.info/jeep/jeep-gladiator-2020-fuses/amp

You said you never heard of crimped being better than soldered. Now you have. Congrats on your advanced age and accomplishments. https://lateral-g.net/crimping-soldering-whats-best-wiring-connection/

Crimped connections are much better than soldered connection in a car. A few post back, somebody said fuses. I'd check those. I doubt you fried anything. You might have deprogrammed something. I am not a can bus expert, but electrons are electrons. I'm going to send this without...

They can refuse warranty work if they think your mod is causing the issue. I believe that lift kits and big tires are an easy out for the dealer/company when you are having handling issues. Given how my new un-modded Gladiator drives (very good), I'd tend to agree with them. It's not going...

It's called "living large". Some people always stay in their box. Other venture out to explore the outer limits. There is room for everybody. Even you.

Still looking at the system. Activating a remote command also requires a pin number (you sirrus pin number). You could change that too. The system seems secure to me.

My Gladiator is new. My others cars and trucks are old, so this is my first experience with this kind of technology in a vehicle. I hadn't logged in to my account till I saw your post. I have received a couple of email reports regarding mileage and service. My first recommendation is...
