  1. Year one battle scars

    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. KevinC
  2. @ShadowsPapa

    Remember in 1997, the TJ came in Magenta, Barney Purple. I always wondered how many sold. KevinC
  3. Reverse cycle topless/doorless

    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...
  4. Florida to Georgia mountains and back

    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...
  5. Florida to Georgia mountains and back

    Camping post. 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...
  6. Florida to Georgia mountains and back

    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...
  7. Which model should I trade in for?

    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.
  8. St. Pete Beach, Florida - can drive on the beaches in that area?

    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...
  9. Specialty Florida License Plate For Jeeps ..

    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...
  10. 35s and No Lift Thread

    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. KevinC
  11. 35s and No Lift Thread

    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...
  12. Is the OE filter housing prone to failing?

    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. KevinC
  13. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

    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...
  14. New Gladiator questions

    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 KevinC
  15. Windshield wipers for lots and lots and lots of bugs?

    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. KevinC
  16. 35s and No Lift Thread

    Kendra Klevar 35x10.50x17 on factory Rubicon wheels. No rubbing fully flexed with swaybar disconnected.
  17. JSCAN tire size reset - Is this video still accurate?

    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...
  18. 2020 JT has two left front lower shock brackets.

    So if you have two lower shock brackets, why didn't they just reconnect the shock to the "extra" one that you have? KevinC
  19. 100,000 mile Gladiator review
