  1. Considering selling my 2 door JK for a Gladiator. Do I have realistic expectations?

    Neat, and glad it works and makes me smarter. I bought mine just to get out of my tropical back yard when it rains and maintain my macadamia nut orchard. I wanted a stick-both on transfer case and tranny. And the bedrails are too darn high on a Colorado! Do I like my JT? I enjoy it a lot...
  2. Considering selling my 2 door JK for a Gladiator. Do I have realistic expectations?

    I agree completely with the cab cube size, lack of it. Three people inside and we cannot get the groceries inside when it rains-the JT has all the cab size of a 2002 GMC Sonoma 4-door. The child plus kid stuff takes up two seats...and what if you have a second child? Sure, we could hop in...
  3. Where do you keep your freedom panel storage bag in the jeep?

    I carry beach towels on the seats...wrap the tops and bungee them to the back of the cab. The bag stays in the closet at home. They stay vertical and are out of the way.
  4. J E E P tailigate lettering removed / dimensions?

    No bonus points, either.
  5. Does anyone actually like the Sport (non-S) wheels?

    I am not a big fan of those. I expect in my environment they would rust quickly. I bought the upgrade with my sport S and like them just fine.
  6. Lease Do’s and Dont’s

    I am driving a sport S myself. Does all I want and need it to do. I don't want any technical 4x4 challenges but overlanding would be fun! There are features on the "named" models that I just don't have a use for with garden trash hauling and mild off road time.
  7. Lease Do’s and Dont’s

    I have only leased one vehicle because I could not afford to buy it at the time. I ended up buying it at the end it was such a good car. It died 379,000 miles on the ticker. Just watch the calculations of the residual value at the end of the lease.
  8. Genesis Dual Battery or Antigravity Battery with Auto Start Disable

    I have bypassed and removed my aux batt. ESS is disabled even though it doesn't happen often on a manual tranny. My intention is to replace the stock primary battery with a larger size that fits the stock battery tray when it fails. There was a thread related to that battery size swap, though...
  9. Suggestions for DIY wheel painting

    Imron aircraft paint. I have used Imron on wheels several times. Exceedingly durable and hard.
  10. All Black Wheel and Tire Package- KMC Wheels-Nitto Tires

    Thank you for not being upset! A big thumbs up from me! ?
  11. All Black Wheel and Tire Package- KMC Wheels-Nitto Tires

    I like the wheels a lot. Never been a fan of spray on tire shine. Kinda takes away from nice wheels. Am I showing my age here?
  12. Storage suggestions 11 months + (trickle charger or pull batteries?)

    I store 6 months. I remove the battery and put a trickle charger on it with a timer. Only an hour each day. I have left batteries in before and had a wet battery fail and overflow and make a mess in an other vehicle. Why an hour a day? To prevent that failure again and ruin stuff or have a...
  13. 2 weeks in....'23 Gladiator manual transmission- what should I expect?

    I don’t worry about or record gas mileage. I made my purchase for other reasons. 1st and 2nd are ā€˜short’ or ā€˜close’ gears. The rest are ā€˜tall gears’ for mileage. I can see that if you are stop and go in town mileage would suffer being in the close ratio and lower Range gears. On the manual...
  14. Bolt hood lock, worth it!

    Let me add my "me, too!"
  15. How they steal Jeeps caught on camera

    If a neighbor can’t see headlights flashing they have no idea where it is and ignore it or worse, it irritates them and they only look forward to it stopping. A horn based alarm just isn’t much help unless you are there to look because you have an equipped vehicle. Yeah, it’s me too, I don’t...
  16. Did You Know that you can set the incline of your tailgate

    Even my 2001 Sonoma has this, pretty standard
  17. Have a 2022 JT, You think Jeep will ever fix the Aux Battery problems?

    Right! Haven't had an OEM battery last very long. 1994 Suburban the worst, three days.
  18. Finally a good use for spring breakers

    Is that right by the sign that says, "Don't drive on the beach"? And the authorities said, "You must push it out of here!"
  19. Debating Debadging Rubi

    Jeep can still make all kinds of trim, equipment levels, and it would show in the VIN. Meanwhile, you have to show me and other Jeepers with giant letters that you paid more for that stuff? I show you I don't need all that "stuff" by purchasing a Sport S. Does all the things I ask of it...
  20. "Jeeps are the most overrated and terrible cars there are"

    Yes!!! I need a truck that fits into a parking spot as well as squeezes between trees and boulders.
