    Find one that is specific to AGM (Absorbed glass matt) batteries to be 100% efficient
  2. Is my thinking right here with what my issue is?

    yes, they are the same.
  3. Is my thinking right here with what my issue is?

    My opinion and my opinion only, it seems there is a fault in the architecture of this vehicle. If we have to put a battery tender / charger on a $50K+ vehicle if it sets a few days a week without being used or driven less then a hour a day, that seems wrong. My mom has a 4 year old equinox...
  4. Is my thinking right here with what my issue is?

    Yes and Yes. Go with a group 94. You'll have to pop out a little spacer on the battery tray to allow the larger battery to fit. Tape terminal end or put a heat shrink on it and then zip tie back the cable to prevent it from bouncing around.
  5. SNOW and ICE tires

    What size did you go with? I had a set of 35x12.50X17 X3's on a Ram 1500. Worst tires in Michigan winters I have ever owned. On a slushy paved intersection making a turn, that thing wallowed around like a walrus. They did well in any other terrain and deep snow, but as a daily driver in the...
  6. Is my thinking right here with what my issue is?

    Yup, my truck died as I was backing into the driveway when the voltage gauge went to 8. Main battery was toast This was 3 months or so after my aux battery went bad and I deleted it.
  7. PSA...Check your trailer tires...

    Yup, I had old tires. The first 2 years of owning the boat we traveled all over. Probably 400 of the 500 miles on the tires. The last 10 years was spent going from home port marina to storage 10 miles each each year at 45mph down country roads from our cottage to the farm's barn where we...
  8. Is the Mopar 2 inch lift actually bad?

    I got the same result on my Sport S max tow as well.
  9. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Tired of looking at all the paint chips in my hood, so I put the AVS hood guard on.
  10. PSA...Check your trailer tires...

    Trailer tires dry rot like crazy even if stored in-doors during the non usage period. I had a set of tires on my tandem axle boat trailer that were new in 2011 and had probably less then 500 miles on them and in 2023, i had a blow out towing the boat from the marina to indoor storage. Sounded...
  11. Doors off cover for Gladiator?

    Both Mopar and Rain gear have strap that will tie down to either a side step / nerf bar / frame at the front and rear. But I can't comment if that will stop any critters getting in. I've never had the issue and when its been at my cottage in the "sticks and woods", I've never found a critter...
  12. Doors off cover for Gladiator?

    I like the Rain Gear one. Can be used with the factory soft top still on and doors off (other brands were too short and didn't cover the bottom of the door opening). Can also be used with the soft top frame off and front doors on as it has cutouts for mirrors. No leaks as of yet after 2...
  13. Newer model Mopar roll up tonneau on 2020

    if you call Extang who makes covers for Rugged Ridge and others and "tell them" I bought a cover that needs the brackets for the 2020 . My gladiator without the weld nut, they will ship you these brackets. Bulk head bracket H in the attached diagram.
  14. Are "larger tires" really a fairly recent thing?

    Interesting. My thornbirds on my ZR2 were fantastic in the mud / logging trails / snow of Michigan's UP, but really had to be aired down more then any other tire I had ever run when running in the sand.
  15. Are "larger tires" really a fairly recent thing?

    Loved them. Ran them backwards and acted like a paddle tire in the Sand. Interco brought them back as the "Cobalt".
  16. Are "larger tires" really a fairly recent thing?

    I hear ya. Grew up on S10's back in the day I hear ya. Grew up on S10's back in the day. From P265's to the 31 BFG AT, to the 31" swamper thornbirds, to 33X9.50 BFG MT's, to the 31" Grabber AT's Those were the initial fun days for sure.
  17. "learning" transmission.

    This is probably the dumbest question I have asked, but I didn't have an answer for when a buddy of mine got a brand new gladiator Rubicon and had his dealer put on a Mopar lift and 37" tires. They said they couldn't flash his computer to 37's ( could only goto 35" because that was what the...
  18. Are "larger tires" really a fairly recent thing?

    We had one on 33" Norseman's and 36' Dick Cepek quiet Giants. The wheelbase on the standard cab short bed PW was 115"s vs the gladiators 137". I think the long bed PW was 131 inches
  19. Are "larger tires" really a fairly recent thing?

    When I started getting into trucks in the early 80's, 29's and 30.5's were common. 31's were cool, and 33's were beefy, and 35 / 36's were large and in charge. Yeah, we had some dedicated guys with trucks on 40 or 44" inch swampers, but they were rare (at least in my area of Michigan and going...
  20. Anyone experience hostility?

    I had a guy in a Electric Honda Prologue tell me to Fuck off and Die at a stop light. But maybe the decal on my Jeep provoked him??? :) 😎 :)
