Gladiators make great road trip vehicles to get out and experience other types of offroading venues.
Yours still cleans up nice. I would be proud of those battle scars too.

I was born/raised/live in Florida. Between April and September the humidity is high and on any given minute of the day it can rain one inch without warning.
I like A/C. I keep my top and doors on for the most part unless I am guaranteed a rain free beach trip. April through September I am...
Hiking
Did this trip more as a physical challenge and spend some time alone and give myself a opportunity to think about some things. We all have done it I guess, it was time for me to do it, considering all that has went on in my life the past 18 months.
Started with a camp site outside...

1. Magellan Outdoors Pro SwiftRise 4-person Hub Tent. I got this tent for less than $200. It is a competitor of the Gazelle brand. It may not be of better quality but for the price I decided to give it a try. The size of the tent in its case will not fit length wise in the bed...
After a lot of planning I finally decided it was time for a tent camping trip. The end of October seemed to still have mild weather in North Ga., so I packed up the Gladiator and went up for a week. 500 miles one way pretty much I75 North. This post will be about the Jeep and my gear. I will...
AEV and Rocky Ridge should not even be used in the same sentence. Your posts are all over the place.
To answer at least five of your questions - No.
That's all I got.
Volusia County, ie: New Smyrna and Daytona Beach still offers some areas to drive on the beach. Every year is a fight to keep them open. Jeep Beach has played an active role in fighting for us. It now costs $20 to get on the beach if you are not a county resident.
Just this past month the south...
I think Florida has more specialty plates the the rest of the States combined. Some of them are for a good cause and I'm glad to support and see my money being put to good use within the State.
This one in particular is just not giving me a warm and fuzzy of doing anything to help keep trails...
I don't know. Found it at a warehouse sale still in the box from Amazon. I think it said EAG. I will say the welds look good, powder coating has held up, no rust. Seems to be well made and has taken a good hit already with no damage.

I don't have a bad thing to say about them thus far. They balanced good. Wet traction (I'm in Florida) has been excellent. Off Road traction when aired down has been on par with anything else out there.
Being a 10.5 wide tire has prevented rocks flying out of the tread onto the side of the...
The Dorman kit is good insurance if you are concerned. They make good products.
I personally read all the issues on the JK before I bought my 2013 JK and made sure to never over tighten the cap. Never had a problem.

The Good - The stares I get a traffic lights from willful, wanting, wishful, dreaming young ladies driving a generic SUV.
The Bad - The stare I get from my wife when the above happens and I smile and wave at them.
The Ugly - The truck giving me the confidence that I have somehow morphed into a...
1st question. I don't understand your question. Yes, you can still take the doors off just like your JK. Was that what you were asking?
2nd question. No

I have found the factory wipers to work very well and seem to last longer than any other I have tried. Being on Florida I have tried many gimmicks, some worked, some didn't. Washer fluid additives work well if you get the bugs while the guts are still wet.

I agree with above posts.
You should be measuring with the tire on the Jeep. Measure from the ground up to centerline of hub. That is your rolling height, which will be less than the total height of the tire on Jeep.
Don't disconnect JScan after setting. Go and drive it and check with a stand...
