  1. So what did you name your Gladiator?

    Well, when things on the JT aren't going well it's SOB. When it's purring down the road Gladys - not original but fits.
  2. 11.5 vs 12.5 Wide Tires

    I have Goodyear 35X12.50 R17 E2 Wrangler Ultraterrains (sold by Discount only), made in Texas. I had them in pretty deep snow a couple weeks ago at 10,000 feet on Mt Taylor and they did not slip a bit. I'll be back there (with more snow) Friday to cut our Christmas tree (Colorado blue spruce)...
  3. Grill Wreaths 2022

    8 bucks at Trader Joes
  4. Auxiliary Battery Jump

    Is the upper negative wire shown at the diagram at the crank battery the aux battery ground? I don't want to tear into the cable connections to determine that if I can help it.
  5. Here are the thing I hate about this Gladiator!!!!

    Me too. Coming from a 2018 Tacoma that had three recalls, it's a relief in a way. My JTR is much more tractable off-road with locking front and rear diffs, sway bar disconnect, and just lower gears. Many complain about the high reverse, but it's lower than the Tacoma TRDPro I had. Plus the...
  6. Question on steel front Mopar bumper - do the back of the fog lights stay exposed ?

    I don't get it. Doesn't the dealer get reimbursed for warranty work? Just lazy I guess.
  7. Question on steel front Mopar bumper - do the back of the fog lights stay exposed ?

    Jeep explained that to them, but they already knew that of course. They are just dicks, since in New Mexico there are few Jeep dealers. This came up originally when I asked about installing the Dana 4.88 gears purchased off the Jeep Performance web site. They said the same tired thing.
  8. Question on steel front Mopar bumper - do the back of the fog lights stay exposed ?

    I could have done it myself, but had them install the Mopar lift, then they told me that it voided the warranty on that part of the suspension. Jeep Cares disagreed. They are now a bit gun shy on that issue. I added adjustable track bar, winch, skid plates and they don’t mention it now. I’ll...
  9. Question on steel front Mopar bumper - do the back of the fog lights stay exposed ?

    I did that. The dealer thought it was great. Someone on here makes them.
  10. Jumperless aux battery/PCR bypass

    That's good to know. Even when I charge it, it gets up to 14. "(I started specializing in electric/electronics when my HS auto teacher put me in the ignition and electric side of things in contests)" Strange how your life takes a certain path with just one thing that happens to you. I was...
  11. Can someone please take a pic like this one?

    Monte Vista '67', my brother '70'. I left San Diego in 1990. My family in Alpine would be the only connection. We have a guy in our Trader Joes that went to Valhalla, but back in the 80s I think. Small world. My son-in-law, Ron Andre Drugg was there about your time. He was a wrestler for...
  12. Jumperless aux battery/PCR bypass

    Thanks Jerry. I have an error light on for the aux, and so I'll try that. I thought I'd wait until my first oil change and let the dealer mess with it, but until then I'll do that. It's charging at a relatively high rate (i.e. 14 v) a lot of the time unless I'm on a long trip, so I assume...
  13. Jumperless aux battery/PCR bypass

    So removing the ground and fuse eliminates the aux battery from the circuit. Does the light come on and stay on? It seems like it wouldn't.
  14. Can someone please take a pic like this one?

    I have a Rubicon, but I doubt it is different. I have a meeting, but I'll try and get under it tomorrow. I think I told you that I grew up in SD, actually out east in Jamacha which is Rancho San Diego now. My daughter and family live in Alpine.
  15. Can someone please take a pic like this one?

    I'll get back to you when I try and put my skids on.
  16. Quadratec aluminum engine bay skid plate installed

    I haven't and have been over some rocks, but haven't hit it yet. I can't think of what it would be. If the clearance remains the same perhaps it was somewhere else. I did some pretty good articulation and didn't hear anything suspicious.
  17. Can someone please take a pic like this one?

    Could you remove the tank skid first and then install? I have those to install too.
  18. 6sp MT Rubicon gearing

    I have essentially the same set up as Chad, but I live in a Mountain State. I’ll also eventually go to 4.88s. The JTR is still lower than my TRDPro. I’m ok with it.
  19. I Hate My Mirrors

    Me too.
