I think ( trouble thinking) the swing is personal preference, I will when I do mine will be mounted passenger side because I am right handed and work right to left. I tend to like passenger side because do long time safety habits i do this because people and traffic pass to the left in normal...
I have m101a2 i will soon refurbish, A local company will powder coat for 800 dollars if i prep the body for him. I will also do change over to a electric brake axle. A lot of old trailers are available, if I had the cash i could it a pioneer trailer for 1500, now that would a heck of a...
I have found that a flea market, Craigslist and estate sales are great for those odd and ends for camping. A little bit of selective hunting can make a nice camping set up.
I have found a GOOD trailer helps a lot, I pull a military m101a2, the trailer is rated a 3/4 ton overland and 1 1/2 on road. They are over built and bullet proof. I also have m416 trailer but you easily overload this trailer.
I do all my trips overlanding, a rubicon is nice, I tend to over equip, I carry more fuel and water than most people, a light chain saw, axe, pick,shovel, recovery gear. I go deep in the desert or very remote areas i do not rock crawl but a lot of dirt track trails. I plan for trouble on all...
I was lucky and found a m100 rescue trailer, I spent 100 on the trailer, about 3 months on labor plus another 200 on parts, paint and lights. I used a jk jeep rubicon to pull the trailer. I went on trip for three weeks out west a total of about 4 thousand miles. I did not use a roof top tent...
The gladiator is solid axle front, all sold axles will over time will wear out. The type of driving, lift, tires and stress will cause all sold axles in the front to develop death wobble at some time in the life cycle.
I went by the jeep dealer in Pell city Al. The lot had two jt Rubicons in stock. I talked to a sales person and learned that they have removed any dealer mark up. I also received the impression that they will do a deal if the price was right. Also said two overland were entoute, i see, that some...
I just towed my m102a2 from North Alabama to Tampa to and back. I had tounge weight of about 300 pounds and a total weight of about 2400 pounds. I kept my speed at about 65 mph was just over 13 mpg, if I went faster at 70 my mpg went to 10. I will be doing a lot of trailering, in July i Will be...
I have done my first attempt at using the power out let. I wanted to use my skill saw, but not enough power, so what will be useful for this power source? Will it even run a tooth brush?
Okay, the cost of solar power is quite large, you have look at infrastructure, the charging station at home, the power cost to charge the battery. The power to charge the battery, production costs, the environmental waste from the battery production, battery life and then disposal. Environmental...
As I told my dauther, dam it's a jeep, as for cup holders, what ever happened to red solo cup? I fill half with ice, a good dose of vodka, some juice, tilt to the sky. I have found after doing that 4 times she no longer was no longer scared.
Welcome to Moab, please plug in to third cactus on the right, oops sorry no catus, I do not see a electric vehicle being used by jeeper. Cost to just charge and use electric vehicle costs more than current fossil fuel. I recommend looking at the hidden cost of electric power cars. I know no...
I believe that according to the jeep engineers the extra wear on the starter has been planned and accounted for. I do not like it just then it off when you start the engine.
I hope you enjoy your gladiator as much as I enjoy mine. I have a billet silver rubicon, i have working on my mods plus some pin striping, chip tape, sill protection etc. Nice to have you aboard a lot of information here.
I was out to lunch and stopped at dealer at Anniston, Al. Displayed on the corner of the lot is a silver bullet Rubicon the msrp was just over 59 thousand, a second sticker had 8 thousand dollar mark up. I now know why it has not sold. I hope the truck rots, who will pay that much?
