  1. Show us what camper / trailer / RV you're towing with your JT

    I second the K-Source mirrors. I tow often enough right now that I leave them on most of the time as well.
  2. Show us what camper / trailer / RV you're towing with your JT

    Oooh, NICE! A great touring set there! If we'd had the Max Tow instead of the Overland I might have been tempted to go to a 25' FB as well, but I can tell you that the GT 23 FBQ is about as big as I want to go with the FT. It was the smallest Airstream builds with the front island bed...
  3. No Ducks For Me(Beware, rant/negative duck comments)

    I just wasted twenty minutes of my life reading every post in this thread. I am amazed at the enmity some people harbor about something so silly. If rubber ducks is the main complaint of the day, I'd say you've got a pretty decent life. Perspective... I'm nearly 70. I drove my first Jeep, a...
  4. Track bar question

    My Gladiator rides a little more like my JKU Rubicon now than a plush luxo-car. I suspect they used a really light anti-sway bar on the Overland for the more plush ride, the Overland being the "old man's jeep" that it is. But I'm an old man... so it's ok. Lol
  5. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I had a Hellwig anti-sway bar installed on the rear axle on its stiffest adjustment. Just with a short drive home, it seemed to tighten up the rear suspension quite a lot.
  6. Track bar question

    It was hollow on the rear of my Overland.
  7. Track bar question

    I had the Hellwig anti-sway bar installed today. It was $304 from JeepandTruckParts.com, shipped. An amazing buy. It arrived in three days after ordering it. My buddy installed it at his shop and said the instal was pretty straight-forward. I had him install in at the stiffest setting...
  8. Track bar question

    I ordered a Hellwig anti-sway bar last night from Jeep and Truck Parts.com. My buddy's shop is on tap to install it as soon as it arrives. Hopefully it'll make some difference. Thanks!
  9. Track bar question

    I was in a similar situation twenty years ago with the 3/4 ton, 7200 lb Excursion and 9500 lb Airstream tri-axle where the Great Dane was walking the 5 year old (a great analogy, btw.) Axle wrap was particularly noticeable on the Excursion because they had front/rear placement of the shocks on...
  10. Track bar question

    This may get a bit long, so please bear with me. Although I've had many Jeeps and Land Cruisers over the years, I'm not big on lifts, big tires and mods, so my experience with suspension mods is very limited. I'm looking for advice here from some of you who know this stuff inside and out...
  11. Bed is made of a tin can

    I don't have one, so I can't really tell you anything about it. I just found the company in an online search and their product is similar to what I had in my '77 F250 in the late '80s. I'd suggest you contact them for exact fitment details.
  12. So, what is everybody towing?

    I've posted this in a couple of other threads... but it's still appropriate here.
  13. Bed is made of a tin can

    Hmmm... like this perhaps?
  14. Bed is made of a tin can

    If you're going to abuse your truck like that, something like this will help... a lot. You REALLY have to abuse it hard to dent it through a drop-in bedliner. I carried a cord at a time for three years in my '77 F250 SuperCab. It had a plastic bedliner and the bed never did dent...
  15. Bent Frames - Big Thing or isolated?

    I just sold my '04 Airstream Interstate on the T1N Sprinter chassis to pay for my new-to-me 2020 travel trailer. The Chinooks are amazing little class C mohos. You might also look for a Born Free "Built for Two."
  16. Bent Frames - Big Thing or isolated?

    After 45 years of camping with Jeeps, that's exactly what I do. And I want to be COMFORTABLE in my trailer when it's miserable outside. I've hauled a number of trailers over the years, tent campers included. The "overland" trailers, hybrids, and tent trailers all have all of the...
  17. Bent Frames - Big Thing or isolated?

    I'm from the old school. We didn't have computers, we had calculators, formulas and accident templates and did our drawings and calculations by hand. I'd have a bit of a problem using a pintle on-road. The military gets by with it because of the relatively slow speeds of their convoys. They...

    Disclaimer: I am NOT a structural engineer, nor have I ever played one on TV. I AM, however, a qualified traffic collision reconstructionist and I have investigated hundreds of crashes in a thirty year law enforcement career. Time-motion studies, and the physics of collisions are key to...
  19. Mopar Brake Controller not compatible?

    I don't know what to tell you. All I can do is parrot what my dealer's service manager told me. ON EDIT: I went to do a little searching to see what I could find and according to the blurb about the MOPAR controller on the Quadratec site, it appears that it only uses a single connector anyway...
  20. Mopar Brake Controller not compatible?

    I have not looked under my dash, so I don't have first-hand knowledge on this, BUT... When I ordered my Mopar controller, my dealer's service manager said he needed to see if my Gladiator had one or two plugs under the dash. Apparently they all come with a single 4pin plug, but those with the...
