Those are OUTSTANDING tires. I have over 5,000 on mine with a lot of off-road use in the desert in NV which is like running tires on cheese graters and ZERO cuts or missing chucks of rubber. They are the most well behaved, quiet and just plain do every thing well tire I have ever put on my...
The idea of a dedicated trailer seems very appealing. My experience with the small bed tent I use now is very positive but sleeping on a slope is tough and finding a level spot for the Jeep can be challenging. A trailer would be easy to level for sure. I know it would limit the trails I can...
I LOVE trees…. But I’m also a realist. I know EVs are NOT saving the environment just as much as ICEs are not killing the planet. Both are BS argument for the low information voters.
Research FACTS and science and then run the pros and cons for your life. A spreadsheet with real numbers will...
First, thanks guys for taking the time to share your views and experience. I think I need to further break this down for my own processing.
I just took a look at the latest generation Decked system and the single drawer makes a LOT of sense for me. Right now I have an over the cab tent that I...
Quick update because I just exposed my wife who I believe is a way better target market example for this vehicle, to a few YouTube videos about it. The verdict, as I expected, was that she'll give it a year or two to shake out the bugs and then she absolutely wants to go test drive one.
This...
So here's my take on it. This place's members are the complete wrong market for this vehicle, no one that finds a Gladiator is their ideal vehicle will ever or was ever shopping for this Jeep Recon or anything even close to this. So I'm not surprised that no one here is just panting to get...
Update, I returned the start stop delete dingus. The start stop works fine with the new battery and it’s just so easy to push the button if I want it off that I just don’t want to deviate from factory wiring any more than what I’ve done so far.
Even if the start stop is working, with the dual...
I bought my Gladiator with the idea of building an overlander type vehicle but the more I got into the planning the more pauses I hit. Now I’m outright paralyzed.
So my original plan was to install a Decked system, a rack and a tent system…. Then I started reading about how many folks have...
Less capable at WHAT? The capabilities of a vehicle are less about what you see on paper as they are in suitability for use based on owner's needs. I have yet to see an F-150 that would be able to keep up with my Gladiator at what I'm asking it to do and the places I take it to. No shame on...
Yep, those are them. They wok fine and as I mentioned they seem a LOT sturdier than I expected them to be. So now I have a set in my garage and was wondering what to do with them. I might put them on marketplace or just keep them in case I damage the metal ones so I have something to put...
Are the "Mopar full length sidestep" the heavy EBS plastic ones? I have a set that I removed from my Gladiator in my garage and if they are desirable to other gladiator owners I'd like to sell them since they seem to be about $600+ from Jeep I was just going to install rock rails but wife said...
EXACTLY!!!!!!
And my experience has been that even non-Jeep people admire the Jeep and everyone wants a ride. Every time there is a place to go as a group and we decide to consolidate people and cars, there’s a dead run to my Gladiator. My granddaughter refuses to ride with her parents if...
The simple one everyone is using. Disconnected the ground cable that connects the main to the AUX and taped/zip tied back and pulled the fuse (42?). Works as advertised, every thing cleared so no avengers sign on dash and the auto start stop went back to work though I’m turning it off until I...
Good to know. Have not gotten around to installing it yet but I can report the battery upgrade has gained me a 2+ MPG improvement! I’m no mechanic so I don’t understand how that works but damn I’m happy!
Yep, have to start a journey someplace, like in front of my garage at that time. It’s the journey and destination that are important.
You can check out every other picture I’ve posted here which is a small sample of my time outdoors in places where other humans don’t go to. A concept that...
I LOVE Mall ninja's and couch commandos. Their impulse buys creates volume which keeps the prices reasonable for those of us that actually use the stuff!!! Not to mention I can find all sorts of great deals on brand new unused gear on eBay to replace my worn out ratty stuff!!!
Hell I even...
I respectfully disagree and I don't think I'm alone. No they would not, at least not to folks that know what they are doing and want Jeeps to use for the purpose they were built, not just looks....
"Real" Jeeps (not the civilized Jeep branded stuff) are sold to folks that WANT that solid...
