It's like falling off a tall building... "it's ok so far..."

I never had to replace my original '16 JKU battery in eight years. It was still going strong when I traded it in. They had to put a new aux battery in my '22 JT after sitting on the lot 611 days. It'll be interesting to see how long the main battery lasts.

80750 https://www.jegs.com/i/K-Source/179/80750/10002/-1? JEGS.com seemed to be the only place that had them in stock when I was looking.

+1 on the K-Source mirrors. They look like factory mirrors and work well.

Mine came with a wireless Voyager installed. It's useful.

*Sigh* What WAS I thinking?:LOL:

Towing with a JT isn't rocket science. It IS science, however. Set your full rig up properly and carefully. Be circumspect in what you carry/pack/tow, but towing a 5k lbs trailer with your family and necessities with a JT isn't a doomsday scenario. Be judicious in your packing and loading...

Actually, I've towed travel trailers with Jeeps since about 1980. I have K-Source snap-on JT mirrors. My Gladiator has the FCA OEM brake controller installed. The problem was the way the dealership set up the Blue Ox SwayPro hitch that came with the trailer. Not enough tongue weight allowed for...

My experience so far has been a single 500 mile trip towing my 23' Airstream home from the dealership. The hitch wasn't set up properly so it wasn't as carefree as I'd have liked, but 10-11 mpg seemed to be about what I averaged as well. I'll take that. I think I have the hitch issues...

When I started this thread, I didn't have any photos of the Gladiator and it's new shell with the trailer. These are hot off the press, about a half-hour ago getting the trailer out of the barn where it's stored to get it loaded to head out next week.

Nice setup! Let us know how your maiden voyage goes.

I'm 69 and hope that I have at least ten more years. My dad pushed a 40' Class A around 'til he died at 87. I sold the coach for his estate. I want to be like that with our Airstream and this Gladiator.

I have a 16' landscape trailer. It does all those full-size "truck" carrying things better than any 1/2 ton pickup I've ever had, although of course it's not as convenient. But it'll carry a h*ll of a lot of "stuff." The Gladiator works for the rest of my needs.

Fiberglass septic tanks. ;)

In '16 with my Wrangler Rubicon, I had to order a paper version of the manuals. They didn't come stock with the Jeep. My '22 JT Overland, however, had the manuals when I picked it up.

Go for it! They're great trailers.

Having just gone through some significant GI issues in the past couple of years myself, I can empathize completely. Were it not for my ‘04 Airstream Interstate b-van, I’d have not been able to leave home much at all. Fortunately that has resolved, but I understand the problem well.

It's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it!

Lookin' good! Great setup! Which trim is your 23CB?

The idea of having just a windshield, some fiberglass, and a foot or two of empty space between you and that truck you're about to plow into on the Interstate never much appealed to me. I'll stick to my Super-C coaches... thanks! *grin* Of course, I've sworn off mohos altogether now with the...
