Your starter has X cycles before it fails. The more you cycle it, the sooner it will fail.

Thanks for sharing your experience and good that everything felt good and went safe. Do you notice anything distorted in the suspension/stance or everything looks and feels normal after unloading it, I'm assuming from the sound of it? I had 1100 lb in mine once, to drive down to the landfill...

Merry Christmas, and I want that (assuming it's real, which I'm searching now) EDIT: Suit Up! https://kybershop.com/nation/jeep-gladiator-oh-what-fun-it-is-to-drive-ugly-sweater/

Thanks, I debadged mine (other than the tailgate), but definitely going to switch to that tailgate Jeep decal. Looks sweet

Getting our first significant snow on Thurs in eastern IA. Can't wait to let the Jeep stretch it's Jeep legs.

You betcha, BUDDY! ;)

You got it, buddy!

For sure, buddy!

Yup, because I totally said "every decent mechanic listen for exhaust concern noises on the trail inside the cab..." /me rolls eyes to self-validate through forced sarcasm

The exhaust sound is from the engine. Caps lock LOL added for dramatic effect.

I feel like you almost can't go too short gearing for the 3.6. There is enough drag and weight with the JT that you're better off with some extra rpms with a lighter pedal, than stepping in it all the time at a lower rpm. Same mpg and more enjoyable in my experience. Plus the lower gears...

Another is simplicity. No dependence on electronics to function.

A manual transmission has fewer failure modes and doesn't depend on electronics to work. The manufacturer just has to not cheap out on components to make it unnecessarily weak or less natural feeling.

There's a joke with that saying. But separately, thank you for your service to the country.

This isn't an airport..

Wow

An 8' version would be cool

The starter is going to last a certain amount of cycles. The more frequently you cycle it, the sooner you hit that number. If I know I'm going to be sitting for a bit, I'll shut the engine off manually. I see it as diminishing returns to blindly shut the engine off at every stoplight.

That really does look awesome. At first I was going to recite the line from American Graffiti about Milner's coupe, but I think I'm converted over after seeing that shot. Curious to see one in real life.

There's a reason modern cars have 8 speed autos and not 4 speeds. 3.73 is already too tall to efficiently use all the available gears with the 3.6 in a Gladiator on stock tires. Taller tires will just further reduce the number of available gears. Not saying it can't be done though.
