Have thought this at times as gladiator is designed based off a wrangler and the willys jeep truck was based on the CJ (to keep brand cohesion/capitalize on wartime jeep and make use of design with limited steel stamping depth.)
The original gladiator had no such open jeep design origins.
But I...
I dunno, your 3.73 gets your gas mileage up with stock tires highway MPGs you can avg. 21-24, city 15-18, best of any wrangler/open body jeep I've ever driven.
The JT with 3.73s on paper has a lower crawl ratio (19.13) and reverse than even previous model Rubicons (4.46x4.11=18.33) discounting...
Isn't first considered in granny gear territory at 5.13, it's the deepest jeep has offered since T-98/T-18 optional 4 speeds (6.32, teamed up to the 72 horse power Fhead 134) and reverse gear (4.49) is only beat by this transmission as well. The 6 speed in the JK/TJ was first gear 4.46 and...
Not at all picking on your post or you, just wondering because you've followed him, does he have better videos than this one, I was ready to maybe laugh a little (no, I'm not angry with anything he said) but he just sounds tired, like he has to keep making content he doesn't really care about...
What happens in an auxiliary battery failure? Just asking because then the auxiliary switches are not available until main battery powers them after several minutes of charging first, not trying to be funny but how do you start your truck if the kill switch is dead? Maybe I'm sleepy but I fully...
Drive with all drain plugs out (have in all my jeeps), can't say there is any appreciable change in cabin noise, with top on usually don't have to go over 8-9 on radio (I do anyway, but no noise to drown out hearing). Oh yeah, don't have carpets either.
Great on soft surfaces, your weight supported by a huge increase in surface area, airing down x10.
Look at tanks or caterpillars, "float" over mud a vehicle with tires would sink past the frame in.
Pretty expensive option though, but tracks probably last longer than tires and you can't pop 'em...
Plainly, this color looks just like gator. Period.
on a side note:
has anyone ever seen the ram in gator?
"The “Built to Serve Edition” Ram trucks will be offered in the following colors and limited numbers:
Gator (1,000 units)"
why not rotate it 90*, it will fit better. (pump to front, tank to back) Also a small tank will decrease your duty cycle for tires, how much depends on tank size.
