  1. The Case For/Against Recovery Boards

    I needed mine, only twice in 3 years, but both times I was solo Jeep. Like many others, they also serve to level the Jeep when camping. I have used both these boards and the roll up rubber mats, use these now as the rubber is much heavier. This was completely my fault, not enough momentum...
  2. Truck won’t shut off!!

    Interesting about not disconnecting the battery. Here in Qatar, the accepted method of changing the battery at the quick-fit places, is to leave the engine running when changing to retain ECU, memory, coding etc. They did it on the Merc ML500 (sooooo many electrical things) I had before the...
  3. Muscle Cars/Hot Rods lets see your other rides

    700cc of 3-cylinder turbocharged goodness. My 2nd Smart Roadster Bluewave, unadulterated joy on the twisties. This is at the Nurbergring.
  4. Where did you take your Gladiator today?

    The dunes, digging!
  5. Gladiator Glamour Shots

    As with most of us, 'a work in progress'.
  6. Ironman 4x4 2" Lift and 35s on a Rubicon

    They're not, correct way up and fitted as the standard JL/ JT shocks are.
  7. Ironman 4x4 2" Lift and 35s on a Rubicon

    I'm running the foam cell pro shocks (in comfort) and they are excellent. Coupled with standard JTR springs I have a Jeep that now rides the tarmac really well and dune bashes at the weekend. The foam cell pro is a seriously robust shock. I didn't go with the springs only because with the...
  8. Auto stop, worst idea ever just got worse.

    As a Brit, try finding a car in the UK without stop/start. Honestly, the JTR system is so much better than the 2 Audis I have, which will turn off before I come to an absolute halt and even switch off in the pause from D to R!! The Jeep system is much better and so far..........faultless.
  9. Grenadier Quartermaster competition

    Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster Truck Coming To US Early 2024 (msn.com) It looks like it's coming to the US in the very near future.
  10. Pentastar 6 vs the Wrangler 2.0

    As much as I'd like an EV or a hybrid, there still seem to be just too many going up in flames. The Wrangler EV certainly went pop.
  11. Where did you WHEEL your Gladiator today?

    A run through the dunes to the in-land sea, Qatar.
  12. Squeaky Jeep

    Thanks for that link. My problems are identical to the OP of that thread. I suppose steering pump is a possible.
  13. Low Speed Squeak while sharp turn

    I'm in the club, only cold, front axle and turning left/ right and goes within 400m. Steering pump is a possible but here in the Middle East, oils don't really get the chance to cool down!
  14. Squeaky Jeep

    Every morning as I leave my parking, the JT gives me a high-pitched squeaking from the front axle/ wheels as I turn left and right, the noise has normally gone within 300m but happens, without fail, daily and sometimes if left for 5 or more hours. I don't get the noise if I go lock to lock...
  15. 17s & Tire Size Opinions

    I run the 315 KO2 (E) and very happy. Ride is fine on the road and quiet, they air down well in the sand and have a tough sidewall when in the jagged stuff. 20,000 miles so far and just beginning to hum ever so slightly.
  16. Anyone go with more narrow 35” tires?

    These are BFG AT in 35x12.5 on the original wheels, no poke and no rubbing with a 1.5" level.
  17. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    I'm running 35" on stock wheels and 12 is fine. I suspect having a tyre that's 'too wide' for the stock wheel actually makes it less likely it'll come off the rim when running low pressures.
  18. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Not a chance, I run at 12-15psi all the time in the sand but I wouldn't get more than 20-30% back up it. The biggest issue is the angle from the level floor to the dune, hit that too fast and something is going to break. The locals might be able to get up to the top but they will attack on the...
  19. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Hit the dunes after the scorching Arabian summer, good to be back out of the city. A couple of degrees cooler and the RTT can go back on.
