No way in Hell would I rent out my Gladiator, it hurts my heart to let my wife drive it or let my kids sit in it. They love the Gladiator but hate that I will not let them eat in it. I take very good care of my stuff and I know that no renter would ever take care of it like I do. I bought a...

I also get the sensation that the seat heater is on every once in a while. But I have noticed it is only when I first get in the truck. I use the remote start every day so when I leave the clinic and get it the AC has had time to cool off the cabin but the seats are still at whatever temp they...

This is an excerpt from the R2.8 page linked above. The Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel (PN 5467046) crate package is not CARB-approved at this time. Due to state/provincial law restrictions, these engines are not currently available for purchase in the state of Texas, state of West Virginia or the...

The Cummins engine is not emissions certified to new standards. You cannot put that engine in a newer model vehicle for road use. I have done a lot of research on that engine and over and over the Cummins reps have said that it meets emission standard in place on the date of Jeep production...

It also depends on what you are starting with. My LE with 37 KO2s on stock rims with a 2 inch Mopar lift sits very high above the tires. I think that I could easily run 40s on the street and I would have to see them mounted before I would speculate on how 40s would be off road. Since I have...

How does the use of circumference vs diameter affect my point. Circumference cannot be measured without first knowing diameter right? Because of the contact patch tires are not really a circle anyway. I will concede the diameter vs circumference point. Now other than semantics what proof...

https://www.discounttiredirect.com/buy-tires/bfgoodrich-all-terrain-t-a-ko2/p/29037 I will argue with 100% certainty that the steel belts in fact do limit the overall tire diameter regardless of rim width and inflation pressure. Please read through the citation above and you will see that the...

OK I am going to ask a few questions about the many posts above and then offer my analysis of the 12.5 on 7.5. I read the words "approved rim width" a lot up there but I have never read it in a tire spec sheet. I have read "recommended rim width" in spec sheets though. I will admit right...

I agree that comparing a Launch Edition Gladiator with a limited production run with a standard off the assembly line Dodge truck makes no sense at all to me. I am only speculating here but I would bet a lot of money that more than 4190 Dodge 1500s were built in 2000.

I already love my Jeep. I don’t want a hemi in my Gladiator, to me it seems like a huge wast of money. My LE with the 37s will pull itself everywhere I have needed it to take me on the cruise control. I am not knocking guys who elect to add a hemi, it is their money not mine and they have...

https://m.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=194 The link above is a very educational explanation of tire technology. If you read deep enough you will find that BMW and Chevrolet has sent cars out of their respective factories with tires mounted on rims outside of their...

I have owned and used many different brands of tires. Not the use of Firestone above. I am blessed that I can, for the most part, but whatever tires I want for my trucks. I had a set of MTR on my F350 that didn’t doo well at all pulling my forestry equipment. I had a set of KO mounted and...

Well if I ever have that uneven tire wear I'll get back to you. I have in excess of 40k miles on 35x12.5r18 Firestone Duratracs on factory sahara rims and they wore as even as any tire I have ever run. I already have 2600 miles on my LE and they drive excellent. So, given the information I...

This is outdated information. New tires are designed to run higher pressures for fuel economy. Because of this the tread area holds its shape while running higher pressure or mounted on a narrower rim. I have 37x12.5r17 BFG KO2s on my LE with a 2 inch Mopar lift and I have not has a single...

sorry I don't. When I have the doors off I am too involved in the ride to take pictures. They are sweet though. If it ever gets decent weather in Nashville again I'll try to remember to take a picture. It has either been almost 100 degrees or raining here since I got the Jeep home.

I am going with Rock Slide Engineering power step rock slider. They look really good in the videos.

OK I just noticed that I sent a link to the pink ones. FOR THE RECORD I do not have pink Steinjager mirrors on my Red LE.

https://steinjager.com/shop/Wrangler-JL-Mirror-2018-Door-Hinge-Mounted-Poly-Isolated-Pinky-J0048092 This is the route I went and they are excellent. There are some other good options out there but none are better than these. The way they mount makes it impossible for the mirror shank to spin...

I never drove my LE with the stock suspension so I cannot give you a before and after assessment. I picked it up with 12 miles on it and the 37 KO2s on stock LE rims were way overinflated and it drove like crap, not to mention that all four tires had a different pressure in them. As soon as...

I live in TN so 364+ days a year snow is not a problem. BUT deer are a problem 365 days a year in TN. The animals are much easier to spot with the brightness and color of the LED package. My old Cherokee i usually have to hit a deer before I see it.
