  1. All Terrain tires vs "Highway Terrain" tires

    So the weight ATs will add compared to the stock HTs might become an issue, I might end up sticking with the HTs. When we hitch up the camper and put all our gear in the appropriate places, we're already getting close to max payload with the Gladiator (tongue weight, plus us, plus gas, plus...
  2. All Terrain tires vs "Highway Terrain" tires

    Right now, tire-wise, I don't have anything in particular in mind. Wheels? Wheels I've got in mind :) My personal preference, sadly, Method has discontinued (MR706 in titanium) so now I'm looking at MR705s in titanium.
  3. All Terrain tires vs "Highway Terrain" tires

    Well, I've got just north of 30k now, I'd expect another 20-30k out of them, barring a flat or such. IF I were to go to dedicated snow tires and dedicated spring/summer/fall tires, I'd keep the stock rims and toss the snow tires on those (similar to my BRZ, I had cheap steel wheels for the...
  4. All Terrain tires vs "Highway Terrain" tires

    I can agree with having two sets, I did it with my BRZ when I had it, but I did find one minor headache to snow tires... If you have one that needs to be replaced, at least in Mich, you need to replace BOTH tires on that axle if you can't find the same brand, model, and size snow tire (which, if...
  5. All Terrain tires vs "Highway Terrain" tires

    Right now I'm on the factory Dueler HT tires and I've probably still got another year or two before I have to start seriously looking at new tires. I'm researching NOW so when it's time for new tires, I'm ready to get what I want and need. I do some light off roading, nothing radical, my...
  6. Leaking rear window : fixes for those who don't want to play dealer roulette, wait 2 months, have their top scratched, seats ripped etc....

    So to update on this, the dealer did fix the back window, I'm presuming they removed it, replaced the mounting / weatherstripping material. Downside is we've gotten into winter temps and aren't likely to see rain any time soon to find out if the fix ACTUALLY works.
  7. Worst Trends?

    Yeah, that I would not do. Not sure HOW it happened, but the ducks we had / have all did stay on the dash, even the one time we went off-road on one of the ORV trails up north (granted, said trail was sand not rocks or anything gnarly, but we still got bounced around some)
  8. Worst Trends?

    Well, see, what you need is some construction adhesive to keep in the glove box, you put a 1/4" diameter dot on the bottom of any duck you get and then you stick it anywhere you want on the dash and it'll stay. 🤣
  9. Worst Trends?

    I'm... I'm feeling somewhat trigged by everyone in this thread... I've got decals (granted, it's for a theme, but some just because, no brand decals though,) my dash has ducks (down to 2 from a full dash so the defogger works better, it's winter.) OK, not too triggered, I'm not on skinny tires...
  10. Leaking rear window : fixes for those who don't want to play dealer roulette, wait 2 months, have their top scratched, seats ripped etc....

    So I've read through this thread and I suspect my rear window is leaking the same way. My question is, how / where are you looking and finding "cracks" before installing the tubing? The other question is, what do you think the chances are, if I go to the dealership I bought the Jeep at (which...
  11. Stock height Gladiator Sport S and underground parking garages?

    So finally took a look at the entrance to the garage in question and I don't think the Jeep is going on the trip... Not with the sign warning of the clearance being 5'-7"...
  12. Stock height Gladiator Sport S and underground parking garages?

    So it's sounding like I'm overthinking things, and unless the garage is VERY unusual, there shouldn't be a problem. But I will take the advice to call the hotel to heart and give them a ring to find out exactly what the clearance is.
  13. Stock height Gladiator Sport S and underground parking garages?

    Once or twice a year the wife and I take a weekend away, the hotel we stay at has an underground parking garage (IIRC, the clearance is listed as 6ft or so) and we've never taken the Jeep because I'm not certain it will FIT. Now, her Forester with additional roof bars fits fine, I can walk...
  14. What's the demand like for a set of back seats?

    That's what I'm thinking too, especially considering they're the cloth seats, not leather... I am planning to keep the Jeep at this point until either it dies, or I just can't drive anymore, although of course, plans are subject to change...
  15. What's the demand like for a set of back seats?

    Mods please note (and, everyone else) this is *NOT* a sales post, if I get to that point, I'll post down in the market, at the moment, I'm researching! Removed my back seats almost two years ago to put in a storage system, and I'm tired of them sucking up space in my basement. Is there ANY...
  16. Recess Winch vs Top Mount

    When I was shopping bumpers with an eye towards putting a winch on, the impression I got is that a potential issue with a "top mount" winch is that it will block some airflow into the radiator, affecting cooling. As we tow a camper, keeping things cool was important so I opted to get the bumper...
  17. No longer am I a wussy-baby-man!

    Way back in July (wait.. That was only 2-3 months ago? Dang, where does the summer go?) I asked a question: "Am I just a wussy baby man, or was I smart (or at least cautious?)" At the time, I opted to not try driving the trail I was looking at on On-X... Well, this past weekend the wife and...
  18. Flag mount on my winch protect bar, which way?

    Being the typical fiberglass pole, I suspect it's going to have enough flex to hit the hood no matter how it gets mounted. So my plan is going to be to, when I'm using it, putting a pool noodle on it with some zip ties to keep the noodle in place, to protect the hood (I saw someone with a...
  19. Flag mount on my winch protect bar, which way?

    With the new bumper, my old flag mount that clamped to the tow hook on the bumper wouldn't work anymore. Stopped in at the off-road park I'd gotten my safety flag and mount at to see if they had any suggestions (there's a little shop that sells this stuff right there.) Fellow working the shop...
  20. Towing topless and doors off, anyone try it?

    We've got a nice weekend coming up and I'm thinking of (finally) getting the top and doors off, at least for a couple days. I'm also bringing our camper home for some maintenance and was wondering, has anyone towed anything with the top and doors off? Would that potentially have any issues...
