  1. Dealer is amazed that I would lift a brand new Gladiator...

    The ECRI does all the same stuff and costs half as much.
  2. Teaser: This Easter Jeep Safari Jeep Concept Will Blend The Wrangler + Gladiator

    Stellantis announced their Hurricane 6 yesterday, including an HO version with over 500hp. I think the I6 was the real reason the front axle moved forward 2" in the JL vs the JK.
  3. Jeep Inline 6 Engine to Debut in April

    Yeah, its basically a 6cyl version of the 2L I4 that Fiat engineered. Too bad there isn't a 3.3L multijet 6 coming, too.
  4. Jeep Inline 6 Engine to Debut in April

    What don't you like about the L3B? Its faster than the 5.3 and I got 22mpg average with one.
  5. Bronco 2.7 Engine Issues

    You spelled 5.0 Coyote wrong.
  6. Anybody heard anything about this?

    I find that highly suspect.
  7. I just installed a lift and this is the Alignment report that was given to me. Is this correct?

    5deg is spec, so there's not much to complain about what the shop did there. Did I miss where the OP talked about how the adjusters were set? Sure, more caster will have more on-center feel, but I'm not sure if I'd go throwing parts at 1deg of caster before the camber is fixed. Until then...
  8. I just installed a lift and this is the Alignment report that was given to me. Is this correct?

    What's wrong with the caster? The only thing that's jacked is the camber, and the only way to get that is camber bushings.
  9. Bronco Raptor just released!

    ... for Willys Sport w/ 6spd/4.88 option.
  10. I just installed a lift and this is the Alignment report that was given to me. Is this correct?

    So, they just changed the toe to zero. The caster around 5deg is good for highway. Camber is way out. Was this alignment from a separate shop, or just part of the lift install? They corrected the steering being off-center. I doubt they touched the caster. The camber issue isn't from the lift...
  11. Basic radio is terrible

    It would appear, that the 5" radio is history. Base Sport models now come w/ the 7" unit. With good, full function aftermarket kits available now, at fairly reasonable cost, there's no way I'd spend more than $400 on a 7" upgrade.
  12. Is selec track (or full time 4WD) inherently bad or weaker?

    That's what I suspected. Probably a non-issue for all but those who plan on using the full capabilities of a Rubicon.
  13. Is selec track (or full time 4WD) inherently bad or weaker?

    To me it isn't understanding, its about how much damn work it is in constantly changing conditions, usually not during, but after a weather event. Having had a stack of part time (S10, Bronco, Sidekick, JKU) and a couple of AWD and auto vehicles- its night and day for convenience. Fuel economy...
  14. 3.0L "Tornado" Straight-Six Engine (GME T6) Coming to Various Jeep Models

    The 4xe in the WL is rated to tow 6000lb, so it should be able to do the same in a JT. Electrified Hurricane will be a full-size thing.
  15. 3.0L "Tornado" Straight-Six Engine (GME T6) Coming to Various Jeep Models

    Diesel will stick around longer, as heavy trucks will still have purpose long after passenger cars.
  16. 3.0L "Tornado" Straight-Six Engine (GME T6) Coming to Various Jeep Models

    It all depends on your location and usage. In my case, With EV counterparts, we’d need about 25kwh a day. This time of year our cars are only home for about 2 hours of daylight. We would need to charge from battery. With a power factor of 3.5 in this zone, we would need about 7kw of panels, just...
  17. OEM trail rail vs aftermarket

    You can get cut/drilled L-track kits for the JT for less than the OE stuff. Then you can use any number of standard anchors and even mounting nuts and studs for permanent equipment. Jeep Gladiator VersaTie Track Bed Kit | macscustomtiedowns
  18. What's in your recovery kit/recommend one?

    I definitely agree most kits aren't the best value. I would add: Friends A shovel and wood cutting device of some kind; A shorter strap for potential flat towing- the cheap kind (these get messed up) Some transport chain with griper and slider hooks (for rigging the snatch block) Water and...
  19. Sooo...RCR did a review of the Gladiator.

    Part of me wants to see this hack job for myself, but I'll refrain from adding any clicks.
  20. Convince me to get a GMRS radio

    When we were doing NASA racing, teams were using 440, not GMRS at the track. Consider getting your Amateur radio license. There are some cool, inexpensive dual band rigs that can also run GMRS (license still technically required).
