  1. Stock Diff Covers

    Yes, the bottom of the center section is fairly think & robust. With one of the heavy cast iron covers, you won't peel back a cover. No matter which one you install, I recommend doing a 'dry fit' to see if it hangs down below the bottom of the center section at all. If it does, use a scribe...
  2. Stock Diff Covers

    Anything with a 'skid' that wraps underneath is going to eat into your ground clearance. Remember, losing 1/4"" of ground clearance is like going down in tire size by 1/2", and nobody ever wants to do that. IMO, your best bet is a nodular iron cover that mimics the internal shape of the...
  3. Stock 2021 Mohave Wheels/Tires on a JT Sport

    Just note that the Willys tires are 255/75R17 and not the Mojave 285/70R17. So they will not be a big difference from what you have now, which should be 245/75R17.
  4. Windshield sunshade recommendations?

    I've tried several different windshield sun shades over the years for my cars, including Weathertech, Covercraft, HeatShield and a few different OEM ones. The best sunshade, without any doubt, is the Intro-Tech Ultimate Reflector. The fit is excellent, it doesn't cause any hazy residue to form...
  5. Gladiator pulling tire

    I stated "static traction conditions". Static, as in not moving. All this stuff about "just driving along" is irrelevant in relation to my post.
  6. Gladiator pulling tire

    I've never heard it the term "pulling tire". But, I have heard the term "power side" or "power tire" used to describe the side or tire that will typically start to spin first when both tires on the drive axle have similar static traction conditions and you 'hit the gas'. If you read all of...
  7. Must have Mods

    My top 5 must-have Mods: 1) Dead pedal: https://mountainoffroad.com/collections/dead-pedals/products/driver-side-dead-pedal-for-2020-jt-gladiator 2) Weathertech Floorliner HPs: https://www.weathertech.com/jeep/2021/gladiator/floorliner-hp/ 3) Overland side steps (as long as you don't actually...
  8. Air Intake & Exhaust

    The Mopar CAI under hood components will fit on the Mojave just fine (air box and the tube to the throttle body). The Mojave hood profile is different, so the hood opening components are not designed to fit the Mojave hood. I have the Mopar CAI on my Mojave. It adds a little bit of sound, but...
  9. Rounded oil filter cap

    Maybe I'm missing something here. I have an assortment of calibrated torque wrenches applicable to different torque ranges. You are saying not to use them because the "good'n'tight" method is better? What is your reasoning?
  10. Rounded oil filter cap

    I've never had an issue with a drain plug or oil filter cap on any vehicle I have ever owned. I always make sure to use the correct size 6-point socket. This is great advice on the cap, although I just use clean engine oil and not grease. I use a small torque wrench and 120 in-lbs (10 ft-lbs)...
  11. Plugging holes in bed

    I use whatever fits from a few sets of universal rubber hole plugs. For the oval holes up by the front tie-downs, I cut plugs from some 3/4" thick medium density closed-cell foam and stuck them in. For the really small holes, I just used black gorilla tape, although sometimes tape doesn't like...
  12. Parts is parts

    You're welcome.
  13. Parts is parts

    Well, Einstein, it's not too difficult to figure out the right place to post this kind of stuff. If you have any difficulties in the future then, yes, run it by me and I'll be happy to help.
  14. What is this part behind front bumper?

    That's exactly what they are for. The JKs have similar reinforcement plates, but they are flat plates and not tied into the side of the frame.
  15. Parts is parts

    I still have no idea why people post this stuff in "General Gladiator Topics"
  16. Car washing the Gladiator and transfer case

    This is the one I got for $8: https://www.oceanstatejoblot.com/tiller-rowe-8-pattern-watering-wand/product/223135?gclid=CjwKCAjw8sCRBhA6EiwA6_IF4R-K8Z0w83PX215TC0WcM1MYbbJI7i4XwTWR-crfdr69mHgXPmoqmhoC3rkQAvD_BwE They usually have similar ones at Home Depot or Lowes. IMO, don't get the ones...
  17. Car washing the Gladiator and transfer case

    A garden hose with decent pressure & a garden extension is probably the best way to clean the undercarriage. Keep the 'jet' stream away from electrical connections, diff pinion areas, and the brakes. I use a garden extension with a multi-pattern spray head (see picture below) I use the flat...
  18. Mojave shock end cap screws rusted

    So I'm assuming the above no longer applies. Too bad, I was really looking forward to seeing if the dealer was actually going to replace all 4 shocks.
  19. Front Axle Disconnect.

    I don't have the FSM for the JT. Is there a specified assembly lubricant for the composite bushing?
