You pay more for installs bringing in your own tires. You take up a bay and time for minimal profit on their end.
Buy tires from discount and mount and install is usually $22 a tire + environmental fees
Just how the numbers work out.
I know, I spent many weeks putting dumbbells on the front bumper debating on the MP concepts, Mopar steel, or another aftermarket steel bumper. I don't plan on lifting it so the MP concepts aluminum allowed me to get my winch on without noticable droop.
Overall very happy with it. Install was straightforward, no issues it all lined up. I ditched the included winch plate for the Grimm Off-road Winch plate. It allowed the winch plate and winch to be installed without the bumper. Makes install and future winch service 1000% easier.

One thing I found when people hate on jeeps is, They never owned or drove a truck older then a 2000 model. Many are coming from Honda civics, Corollas, CRV etc and wanted a cool "Jeep".
With no experience with how a short Wheelbase solid front axle vehicle would feel/ride like, they...
Rock bottom? No. Correction back to pre Covid levels? Yes
For 3+ years. The manufacturers MSRP and Dealer sticker has not even been close! A few $1000 either way was the norm for anything but high optioned trims sitting on the lot.
Even still, with the 15% off MSRP from Jeep, Many dealers...
Rust from Road salt is due to lack of maintenance and prevention.
Even just using a brush and getting a layer of old motor oil on stuff under the truck will prevent it. Messy but it works.
Clean the under side often, coat with a good undercarriage spray before winter and touch up during...
This. The brake actuated limited slip has come a long way. For on road traction it works quite well. For light off road it also works quite well.
With the brake actuated limited slip. A true LSD might be better off-road but doing the same thing on road.
With that in mind I think a...
I have used traction boards and the equivalent DIY method probably over 20 times in 20 years. But never on a planned wheeling trip.
Most of my wheeling has been done during camping trips into many of the primitive sites/areas in the southwest. I believe the younger generation call it "over...
I agree, the best part is the 2024 manual doesn't even have a chart it says go to Jeep.com and find it under model specs. Which doesn't have a chart! Ha.
But I did find the 2024 Stellantis Gladiator spec brochure that now list all 2024 sports with v6 and automatic at 6000lbs.
So basically...
The Trailer tow package comes with a class IV hitch (10000lbs). Which is what I have. In 2022 the sport and sport s with trailer tow package was rated at 6000lb tow capacity. As Stated in the 2022 manual. The 2023 manual doesn't state that anymore.
Nothing has changed equipment wise. So who...
That's my understanding also. Just weird it's not listed. There is other parts missing from the 2023 manual also. The 2022 is more in depth on everything. Very weird maybe a cost savings move due to the 2024 refresh
I'm stumped,
I have a 2023 gladiator sport with the tow package (not max tow). In my owners manual it says tow capacity for a sport and auto is 4500lbs. No mention of tow package (not max tow)
In the 2022 owners manual it says tow capacity for a sport/auto/tow package(not max tow) is 6000lbs...
Hey all,
I have a Gladiator Sport. Planning a Winch and Bumper upgrade. Need some advice on how to combat front end sag.
I added 140lbs to the front end with weights (total about 170lbs with stock bumper) and measured a bit over 1/2" drop. Little under a 1/2" drop with 40lbs less on front...
