The drain plug should have a magnet, mine did. I changed my covers to Cast Dana cover so did not even remove the fill plug on old covers. I like the idea of changing the oil sooner on the gladiator, and I did when changing the covers front was real nice the rear was a little dirty, and both...
Bill you are heading down a slippery slope without lockers!
There are Rudolph covers out, (who would have thought) most are Christmas themed, your sweet wife is going to come up with a seasonal cover plan four seasons , six holidays and both your birthdays, ya gonna end up with a dozen!
Bill, we got one on my wife’s 2019 Sahara JL, it’s a flower with the hole cutout in the center, it still fits tight and hole is lined up fine, colors are starting fade a little, but that is fine we me when I am driving it! The camera hole is a pain to get a good look and a lot of covers the hole...
That driver of the car had no idea, just driving and then flying, glad they were ok.
Spacers are a questionable thing to me, I get why people want them, but if you can do it with new wheels maybe that is best....Jack
Edit 3/28, sure looks like the disc brake is attached to the wheel ,meaning...
RustyPW poor boy , we are on the right side of the state, and you are on the left or wrong side, sorry it's geography! Sorry ya can't fix ugly or geography, and us guys on the right side are good looking too! Jason , nice truck and nice spot of Pa. you are in...Jack, Bally, Pa.
I also have a small travel trailer a Gulfstream vista cruiser 19ERD, unladen weight 3100 lbs., GVW 4100 pounds, 24 ft. long.
We spent a lot of time looking at various campers to get something to match the Gladiator. It has a walk around queen bed and rear dinette, we looked for no bump outs as...
I have carried a bunch of lumber in my bed but don’t use the tailgate option as I see that for stuff that doesn’t fit between the wheel wells, the tailgate thing worked good for plywood and drywall thought, and all I did was put the sheets of plywood on the bottom and the sheets of drywall on...
The weight up high on one side might be an issue at 80lbs. I surf fish a lot from my Jeep and thought I really needed (wanted) a 270 awning, but realize the area I need covered is the back of truck where kitchen slide will be and where I work the fishing gear and bait from, and typically stand...
Gladiusoffroad is pretty quick, ordered mine on 3/19, they are now in Lancaster Pa., 2 hours from my house and will be here tomorrow 3/23 by 9AM. We'll see but pictures looked good and price was ok!.
I can see there being on run on these that makes the latest bank runs look like nothing!.....Jack
I love the red "W", plus even better it's a "Max Tow edition", which wil get guys saying you don't have a Max Tow Gladiator but it says it right out front, awesome! Only hate from a Warn winch owner is hang the winch hook on one of the shackles so not to beat your line and bumper, or get one of...
Yup Matt, added to my list of things I didn't realize I needed, but will be here in about 6 days!
I'm ahead of you bud!
Really I've used the factory ones several times, including a bunch of 3/4" plywood and was uncomfortable with them, but they worked.. Thanks for the post Y-Guy.....Jack
JT Patriot is on it, get the factory plate, or go back to who installed it and see if they have the plate. The quickest way will be to pull off the bumper, which is taking off skid plate removing eight nuts and unplugging the fog lights. OR, Take off your skid plate and see if you can get to the...
Sell the Mojave tires ,get thinner tires with less aggressive tread. Research tires a bit, weight is a factor also, Mojave Falken AT tires weigh 63 lbs. , I looked at a skinny Falken AT tire that was an inch taller, and 52 pounds with same tread. That reduces rolling weight about 15%, narrow...
I have the Oracles from very first run, love them , have not fallen off ,work great the main reason I got them was for a brighter reverse light and they are great. I went from OEM led lights to them only thing I get is a momentary rear lights out message, but no bother. They are a much nicer...
Nice, what a rush it must have been pretty fast build, I like what you have done, rear awning is something I am going to do shortly....Jack
PS: any 2021 should be a 80th anniversary one, I have a 21 Mojave and had to take the stickers off and do the 80th!
I always follow your builds, and as others, am impressed with your talent and nerve. I always thought your rear bumper was cool and lightweight, but now think it needs your touch, perhaps even sell it and fab your own rear bumper with as much clearance as possible, unless the bumper rules...
I’m having a tough time freeing up for RC, 25th doesn’t work. Have a lot of weekends tied up setting up a camper at a marina in Delaware this spring starts the 25th! I’ll keep watching the thread though…..Jack
I ran electrical tape around the line on the thimble, does not really move and used it twice and no problem with it. I have a flat link on with the line guard added so nothing exposed, putting a cover on your winch if you have not yet is also good. I have the basic Factor55 flat link, it was the...
I have a narrow 9000 lb. winch with fifty feet of line, will work for me, winch including Fairlead is about 52 lbs. that's why. The company I work for is pretty big in Civil Highway, quarry, asphalt plants in four states, they years ago went to only Crosby shackles, before they shopped price and...
