It is quite true that the rated towing capacity is lower on the diesel. This is said to be because of heat dissipation issues. How easily it pulls right up to the rated capacity may be an entirely different matter. I have not done the comparison, so I can't say from personal experience and I...

My dealer just called and said the lift is in!

If you are worried too much about cost, probably stick with the gasser. If you want to feel the torque and get the thrill of having your back pressed back into the seat in a Jeep, just by pressing one skinny pedal, do what I did and get the diesel.

Ham Radio Antenna Install - Custom Mounts I originally planned to install my antennas on Mopar A pillar mounts. I bought them and had them waiting when the Jeep arrived. Once I got the Bak Revolver X4 on there, I came up with another idea: Mounting the antennas on the T Slot rail on either...

I have found that my headlights do a decent job when I am off road. The exception is when I go across a dry creek bed. When I am angled down the slope of the bank, my headlights point into the ground and I cannot see the line across the bottom of the creek bed. When I get to the other side, I...

Hawse fairlead Light and License Plate Mounts on JCR Bumper I apparently did take a picture of the JCR light bracket and the AEV license plate bracket I mounted behind the fairlead. The license plate bracket is upside down, but I think it will work. Still waiting on my amateur radio operator...

I am looking at the Mopar lift for ground clearance issues - breakover/departure angles and maybe a bit for fording capacity enhancement. Not so much for added flex or tire clearance. In fact, I am thinking of sticking with the 33s. I had 33s on my LJ and never had an issue hitting the diffs...

I am not slamming the guys. I am seriously considering adding the Molle panels for my console and the sides of my bed. The bumper is seriously stout and a good looking design. That said, I want to be right up front with the issues I had so that people can know what they might experience.

Always On USB Charger install. I don't like the fact that the USB charger and the "lighter socket" are only active when the ignition is on, and I needed more outlets. I wanted something on the passenger side so my wife could plug in her phone. (By the way, plugging her phone into one of the...

Install and Review, JCR Vanguard Full Width Bumper with Warn Zeon Platinum 10S winch. I finally got around to installing the bumper and winch. I looked at bumpers on line for months before settling on the JCR. I had been leaning toward the Warn. I liked the idea of doing business with a...

Mine works fine too. I ran the updates per the instructions before installing.

The fact that it is AC explains everything. I could not find anything that was 12 volt. I have a number of packages due for delivery today and tomorrow and hope to take this project on over the weekend. My present plan (subject to change as I test mount everything) is to use a relatively flush...

I am going to follow that same path. I am going to use 10ga. even though some might think that a bit light for full power on the HF rig. However, it should be sufficient if the engine is running. If the engine is off, even the biggest gauge wire is not likely to make voltage sensitive radios...

I ordered a roll of the high heat version of the Tesa tape. It sounds like it is "the stuff" and comes from a reputable OEM supplier. I just worry about the stuff you find on a certain on-line marketplace where it is clear the descriptions were not written by somebody who speaks English on a...

It is page 21 in my 2021 manual. It is activated below 40 degrees. For the heated seats to come on, it says you have to set it in UConnect.

Mine has auto climate control, so I leave it set to around 70 and am good. Still waiting on cool weather here in Houston to try out the heater, but understand the seat heaters come on automatically in cold weather with the remote start.

I have been impressed with the cloth tape and woven split wire wrap I have found on the wiring harnesses in my new Gladiator. As I start installing my ham gear and other stuff, I want to match it. I have done some searching, but can’t find a Mopar or other OEM source identification. Can anybody...

Very nice setup. I like the USB charging hub that lays flat and wonder why you went with the vertical option. Did you need the extra 2 ports? I am looking for the Ravpower unit that lays flat since 4 ports will meet my needs and can’t find one. Do you have a model number I can search on? I am...

I think the absence of reports of stray RF getting into the vehicle systems is a good sign. I toyed with the idea of running power to my rigs via one of the auxiliary switches, but in addition to all the other reasons not to do that, when I looked at the wire, it is way too skinny for even 20...
