  1. I think I’m the worse driver ever..

    "Open the pod bay doors, HAL."
  2. Who hasn't removed their door bolts yet, and why?

    I HAVE removed them, but then put them back after putting the doors back on. Does that count? Or answer the question?
  3. I think I’m the worse driver ever..

    I put on 35" Nittos and am getting low- to mid-17s on local street driving, but luckily still in the 19+MPG range on freeways. As others have written, invest in some type of app or module to check your settings - I recently did the Tazer Mini and finally got everything calibrated correctly. It's...
  4. My baby

    I see nothing wrong with choosing chrome wheels - it's your rig, and it looks great! Good choices all around.
  5. What did you HAUL in your JT today?

    $100 - tires only, with ~8,600 miles on them. Had them on Craigslist for quite a while, and honestly I was just happy to get rid of them. They weren't in terrible shape but they definitely showed signs of being out in the desert.
  6. What did you HAUL in your JT today?

    No pic, but I finally sold the OEM tires to a guy across town - we met halfway. Glad to be rid of'em - they'd been sitting in the garage for a while.
  7. (updated) First impressions of 35's on my Eco Diesel

    Yup - same here as the OP. Some sluggishness when I went Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/75/18s on the OEM Overland wheel, and some hunting between 7th and 8th gears. Have since calibrated with my Tazer Mini (took a few tries to find the right tire-to-speed ratio/size) and the MPG and shifting is doing...
  8. Overland 18” wheels and 33”, 35”, 37” tires?

    Just got the Tazer Mini calibrated this week - I received it a while back, but have been playing with it since in order to get the settings right. So far, the hit appears to be 2-3 MPG on local streets (was in low-20s before, am now in the low-17s) - reminder, Phoenix is VERY flat. Not very much...
  9. Grinding noise when turning right at faster speeds

    Yup - that was my first thought.
  10. New lift inspiration...LOL

    That is one hell of a wheel offset! :CWL:
  11. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Update - now that I've put it on and off SEVERAL times, it is definitely fitting much better, AND is easier to install/take off. In short, much better fit now that it's broken in and shaped to the cab.
  12. Overhead grab handles?

    Just keep in mind - the part # is different for front and back sets, so you may want to double-check that.
  13. Overhead grab handles?

    Yup - I did those (front and rear) a while back and am happy with the results. They utilize existing OEM screws, look great and are sturdy.
  14. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Like many things in life, there's just a bit of room for improvement - I've only put it on a few times, so maybe it needs a little breaking in. The top fitment could be a bit more taut (in case of rain) and the windshield portion isn't completely flush - maybe with time it'll relax a bit...
  15. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Put on the Mopar cab cover - weather this week in AZ is perfect for having the top off, so the Overland is getting tucked in with its new cover nightly.
  16. Did you purchase the Discount Tire Certification

    Just bought 4 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (285/75/18) at $322 apiece, so yes - I absolutely bought the certificates. I've been in too many situations where tire shops (plural, not one in particular) basically say a tire is not fixable, so a new replacement tire has to be purchased. This happened once...
  17. What would you do?

    AZ is open carry, so perhaps there's a certain level of hesitation of 'kicking' others' property when in a public setting...
  18. What would you do?

    I would have held down the horn and scared the F*ck out of him as best I could. I had a similar situation a few weeks back - no kicking of tires, but an older guy (older than me, at least) walking around my Overland admiring it - said he hadn't seen one in person, but had read a bit about them...
  19. For those that have the bad steering box...let's talk.

    Mine wanders, as various others have noted, and I have to give continual input to the steering wheel to stay between the lines. I've unfortunately grown used to it, but will definitely contact the dealership to get the TSB process rolling. I say I've gotten used to it because I occasionally...
  20. Gladiator Deer Hoist: Calling all engineers

    I am not an engineer, nor do I hunt, but I am definitely going to monitor this thread for results - and for the OP, we NEEED PICs should your hunt prove meatful (not fruitful). :rock:
