I started with a magsafe bulletpoint, and I had my phone fall off constantly while off-roading, and several times on potholes on paved roads. Went to a clamp with wireless charging and am very happy now

Might as well keep this thread alive… stock I was right on the EPA rating (27 hwy) but it wasn’t stock for long. Currently with Alu-Cab Canopy Camper, fridge, aux fuel tank and lots of other tools and camping load-out, 37x12.5s, 3.5” lift, winch, armor: I get 23 hwy if under 65, 20 hwy at...

Nice! Man, I found it plenty challenging in the dry, good on ya for going in the snow

This might be a good reference for the fender procedure to replace the aux: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/auxiliary-battery-swap.57725/ (I haven't done this myself. Any better write-ups?) In your situation I definitely would use the fender procedure, so as not to risk any...

Just trying to explain the confusion why some would see them as an upgrade and some would not. I’ve tried to break mine several times on various trails but so far they’re still alive.

The issue with the factory tails has nothing to do with quality. They stick out really far, and tend to get smashed on tight, technical trails where you're squeezing through rocks and trees, and rolling unexpectedly as you crawl over boulders. Often when people have that happen, they get the...

I see these on local craigslist for ~$50 a lot, sometimes given away for free. If you get $75 be happy

I would definitely take the Scout setup on Engineer Pass (I don't know why people think that's a hard trail...) Are there some that I wouldn't, sure. Same is true with my ACCC, though I haven't been stopped by anything yet I also think we tend to overreact about weight distribution. Take an...

(drifting from the thread topic a little...) When I bought mine, I was 100% ready to pay cash. But there was an extra 1% discount for using Jeep financing. With some negotiation I found that I could still qualify if I made a minimum of six payments, and up to 75% of the principal on the first...

Picture post from recent trips (Big Bear and Anza-Borrego thanksgiving, Arizona Peace Trail xmas, etc) Steep climb on John Bull (I think - there was a lot of steep climbing in Big Bear) Low tech campsite leveling Nice dark skies in Anza-Borrego Southwestern AZ got hit with pretty...

Dang. I special ordered my truck with diesel and aux switches (which apparently covered the battery, alternator, and engine fan), plus the tow package at +$550 (a few percent under invoice price at the time). Looks like I could have skipped it, and just added the Mopar Class IV receiver DIY...

These just went on sale a couple days ago. Probably not yet I haven’t seen yet why someone would go for these over Fox 2.5s which seem to have very similar adjustments, lengths, and pricing but can be rebuilt basically anywhere. Open to finding out though

My 10k Warn electric winch only produces 10k of pull if you pull all the line out, down to the first wrap. On the full drum 5th wrap, it’s only 5k. So down in the neighborhood of what we’re talking about. I have the equipment - blocks, pullies, x-lock - to pull out the whole line to get max...

Diablo or Hamilton sometimes accumulate enough to play in, but usually only for the day or two after a storm

Nice! That looks like it'll work great. And help with one of the problems with wedge campers like mine, that you always end up head at the rear and frequently lose your pillows downstairs

Best of luck with the camper! I've got the next-heaviest camper out there, the Alu Cab Canopy Camper. My $0.02: I would not install 125 lbs of camper jacks (except as needed for taking the camper on and off). We rarely have a problem finding a flat spot to camp, and if we do, we drive one...

The 8-way compression-only adjusters on the reservoirs and the pricing look basically identical to the Fox 2.5s. Curious to see a table of the various compressed/extended length. Hope they sell some and we hear first-hand reports. Only one part number for both gas and diesel front shocks...

Yep, totally different plugs. OBD2 for SG, SGW for tazer

I've had a SG2 for decades on a previous vehicle, updated it to work with my diesel, still working. Very similar experience to the people above, it works. But it's pretty ancient tech in 2024. Coarse LCD dot display, fixed backlight brightness, some color change options but not enough, hard...

Oh, interesting. I just installed the same belly plates, same ratchet straps holding and moving the fuel tank around (diesel in my case), same thing where now I'm getting a couple less gallons in at fill-up than I'm used to. Gauge still reads full, but starts immediately dropping instead of...
