  1. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    The 35 will fit for sure. I have a 37 scrunched up under there...
  2. Manual Transmission Club

    They're 17s. AEV Pintler JLs. 112 lbs per wheel/tire. I can consistently baby it around at 17 just back and forth to work, 10 miles each way, engine barely gets warmed up and a mix of back roads and highway. Given a bit of heavy footing to run the engine while new, and a long trip back when...
  3. Manual Transmission Club

    Sure is fun. I look forward to driving it even for mundane things because it's engaging. Not just hop in, D, pedal on the right. Said this before, but I think it gets great mileage for a lifted 37 inch tired rolling brick. I pointed out some interesting foibles in my learning a new...
  4. Manual Transmission Club

    I wouldn't say so. Got almost 1,000 miles rolling around on 37s with stock gears, and now that I'm getting used to the transmission, I'm very happy with it. Dollars leaving is having a heavy foot instead of using the gears and going easy. To be fair, I haven't driven an auto since I wasn't...
  5. Manual Transmission Club

    Almost forgot one other science experiment with the Hill Start disable. Decent uphill grade by our office, stopped on it, Hill Start off. Nothing crazy, but definitely your average everyday driving uphill red light or stop sign kind of grade. 4.10 gears and 37s as a baseline, other models...
  6. Manual Transmission Club

    No criticisms, just observation of shift points relative to the 2-3 gap. I've been doing the same here and there to run the engine around a little. Highway ramps are usually my target run it all the way up moments! Most important thing is it looks like you're having a hell of a good time with...
  7. Manual Transmission Club

    It won't bog in 3rd revving as high as he was. In fact it doesn't bog anywhere if you really wind it up, 4, 5, 6k,... but you can watch the dollar bills flying out of your pocket into the gas tank doing that, at least with 37s! Aim is to go fast slowly. My experience with 3rd bogging is when...
  8. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Great name, even turning it into Sting GrEy. Much more better than with an A. :like: Is it a play on Gracie as well?
  9. Manual Transmission Club

    Well, I did it. Definitely notice it from starting on any kind of grade. You will drift if you don't mind what you're doing. Did it on purpose just to see. That said, I drove good few manuals that didn't have any sort of hill start, so it's not needed. Let a bit of clutch out until you...
  10. SHOW ME YOUR WHEELS!

    I'm a fan of them on the Gladiator! Like how they blend into the tires a bit, the spoke part looks smaller. Ah the days of big tires on 15s!
  11. Manual Transmission Club

    I never turned mine off. Forgot all about it. Tonight I shall!

  14. Manual Transmission Club

    Didn't have the doors off, but windows down roof off. It's another experience for sure. Grabbed gears under the stars. Nothing like it!
  15. Manual Transmission Club

    Have to admit, my 4Lo tinkerings I don't think I got past 2. I was too tickled with the high rpm crawl... it's clutch out engine revving torquey slow in a really cool way. That low 1st gear even with the stock 4.10s is a level of barely moving snarl I never had in a truck. Not sure what my...
  16. Manual Transmission Club

    They do have the auto start stop, which I immediately put a Tazer in which shut that sh*t down. :like: I needed it to do tire pressure and tire size anyways, fringe benefit. It doesn't program it out per se... it remembers the last state on next startup, so shut it off and shut the Jeep off...
  17. Manual Transmission Club

    Yep. I'm overwhelmingly happy with it... and happy to be back in a manual with a well appointed truck. I've got leather seats, a nice radio, lots of cool gingerbread... and a manual!
  18. Manual Transmission Club

    Pretty much my take on it. I use 5th and 6th, even at lower speeds as long as it's flat or downhill. That's with 37s and no regear. I just want the truck to keep rolling at the lowest RPMs possible. If I need more, I drop gears. 5th and 6th are kind of funny at low speeds though, I shift to...
  19. GRANITE CRYSTAL JT Gladiator Club

    Dirty already, just as nature intended! Congrats!
  20. Relocate AM/FM antenna and add a CB antenna

    Will do. I have so little time, I've been doing things in dribs and drabs. Got the CB physically mounted, did the antenna mount and wire into the truck last night... going to try to fiddle antenna wire around to the radio and wire power tonight, so hopefully I can check SWR and give it a go...
