I like mine. That bolt retains the cap, it is not structural or in any way involved in keeping your shit together.

Not only that, but I find myself turning mundane errands into Jeep adventures. On Saturday, I volunteered to go pick up the dog. There was traffic on Roswell Road, but I noticed a construction lot with a not so straight shot to the back of the building. There was a 6” curb between me, mud, and...

No, mine looks like a cat in heat with its ass all up in the air. 2” Mopar lift with heavy winch on front bumper. Needs a leveling kit bad!

Leather all the way!

So just to be clear, the weak failure was the aftermarket bumper, not the Jeep frame?

Nah, I use the pork chop to get the dog to play with the wife. She does find it annoying when I tie it around her neck, though.

I was reading this thread and came to the last post. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/so-many-used-gladiators-on-the-market.28079/page-2 This reminded me that a loose steering box wears faster than a tight, properly adjusted one. This is all the more reason to check the...

Fake news! Fake news!

Cool!

419 just takes one more to make 420.

Feature.

Daniel, to your point it is more the effective width I was referring to. While you can't change the physical width of the tread, you can pinch the tread with a too narrow wheel so you don't effectively use all of it and you ride mostly on the middle.

I drive mine every day, so not only do I get to stare at it, I get to operate it! Even dirty from all this rain in Atlanta, it looks fantastic. I have to say it is the first vehicle I have owned where I love it just as much dirty as clean!

If that works, let us know and I'll try it with my wife!

Actually, he is. That too narrow wheel pinches the tire contributing to a narrower cross-section and difficulty getting an even contact patch that utilizes the the entire width of the tread. Under inflating in an attempt to increase contact patch creates drag, tire heat and risk of losing the...

Don't be so sure. That little supercharger is sweet and really wakes up the 3.6, plus you have the advantage of lighter weight and much lower cost. All in, you have a game winning strategy!

I wish I was closer, you could add my hemi powered JT to the comparison. Would be very interesting to see the outcome!

No, as long as toe, tire pressure, and tire balance are set correctly. It is true that generally speaking wider tires wander more, but that is more due to the road surface and crown catching the wider tires.

This has been the story of my car building hobby since I brought my first car, a 1964 Mercury Comet with a 269 V8 and auto for $40 in 1972. I’ve always said it is 2/3 building and 1/3 driving. I really enjoy the planning and execution. Typically, I plan, build, drive, sell, repeat. That said, my...

I agree with Bill above. Given your stated purpose, the auxiliary switches are another great option. I’ll add that there is zero reason to use onboard gps if you have a smart phone. CarPlay with a smart phone and Maps is far superior and with the 8.4 is better than the set up in my 2019 Porsche...
