I've already got a Pace Edwards Full Metal locking tonneau, so mine are in a hard case either on the back seat, or in the back bed depending on the trip & weather.
I started with my first Jeep back in ~'84 with a '75 CJ5. Since then I've owned (in chronological order) a '76 CJ7, '99 TJ, a couple of Libertys '04 & '05, 2010 JKU, '05 LJ, '78 CJ7, 2018 JKU, and now my (new to me this year) 2020 JTR. Still have the 2018 JKU, but it's pretty much a pavement...
1) Quadratec brand "dead pedal". Very sturdy quality piece. Adjusted it as far back as possible which seems just right for my 6'2".
2) New set of tire deflators which I set to stop at ~15 lbs.
3) Extreme Terrain brand reflective windshield cover. Excellent fit, extremely tight!
4) 2nd set of...
Different strokes for different folks dude. I'm 100% sure that none of us here own a "2 wheel drive imposter" and don't even attempt to tell us that you never take yours out of 4wd.
Sounds like you have a pretty nice rig, but maybe you should have bought a diesel? Not all of us need 6.5"...
Downsize to the 222 FSH! That's still a fantastic rig! You'll appreciate the lesser gas cost of running it as well.
~5000 lb boat = ~500 lb tongue weight.
1200 lb capacity - 500lbs = ~700 lbs of people & gear in the truck. (ie. Three 200 lb guys in your truck and you're just about full up)...
Stock 2020 JTR 3.6L w/Automatic & ~31,000 miles running cheap 87 octane gas. Disclaimer... all driving is done with a very well educated right foot watching the mpg indicator and using cruise whenever on flat ground. I don't exceed 60 mph ever, and most driving is ~60% highway/back-roads, 40%...
Have read so many cases of this often being the first sign that *one* of the batteries is going out. Most commonly the auxiliary battery, but sometimes the main. Had this happen to me about two weeks ago, so I performed an "aux delete" in the hopes that it was the auxiliary battery dying. It...
Sold my 2013 GT Premium Convertible Mustang to help fund the purchase of my new (to me) JTR. Sure do miss the 420 hp, and the ease of putting the top down (pretty much every day all year here in Central Florida), but I surely do love this Gladiator.

That's a fact! So on Monday I took the Gladiator out for a spin on what I *thought* were going to be country roads east of Bradenton... NOPE. Nothing but miles and Miles and MILES of new developments. Mostly homes from ~$400k to $800k. I can tell you there aren't many Florida natives...
Definitely! Putting down double to triple the minimum payment to pay it off in a year if possible (it is literally my *only* debt, besides recurring expenses like food, clothing, insurance, etc. No house payment, no credit card debt, etc.). The goal is to be totally debt free again by next...
Yeah, the faster you're going, the more a headwind seriously affects your mileage. Essentially, a 15 mph headwind makes your mileage the same at 60 mph as if you were doing 75 mph. That's a HUGE difference when your vehicle has all the aerodynamics of a shoebox.
