  1. Oil change at dealership led to huge engine problems

    We had one that FILLED the engine so full that it was coming out of the dip stick tube. We had the oil guns that hung from the ceiling on a reel. The guy stuck it in, squeezed the trigger and went to do something else. The rest is spilled oil.
  2. Oil change at dealership led to huge engine problems

    ...(retired), I have seen it ALL. From no oil in engines (vehicles coming back on a flatbed with a seized engine) to many vehicles coming off hoists due to the lift pads placed incorrectly on vehicle. One fell from the highest position when it reached the top and then slammed down on the...
  3. Strip down ever get old?

    Hoist a top is pretty great if you have the room for it.
  4. Is there an aftermarket box for the Gladiator?

    That's what we have - Bruno PUL 1100 It does double duty as I've dressed out a couple of ntelope using it as a hoist
  5. Top Lift Pro Hard Top Removal

    Went to menards, got a kayak hoist mounted it on the ceiling with 2x4's. Used a hammock strap to span across the front with Anchor points from harbor freight ($9.99) in each hole. Have a tie point on the wall next to where i park
  6. Top Lift Pro Hard Top Removal

    would love to see some pictures of this. been looking to make a mobile top removal solution for some time, this sounds ideal
  7. Top Lift Pro Hard Top Removal

    I know, it is pricey. I'm not that handy, ha ha.
  8. Top Lift Pro Hard Top Removal

    That looks nice, but expensive. I made something similar using a Harbor Freight engine hoist and a ten foot piece of unistrut.
  9. Top Lift Pro Hard Top Removal

    Anyone order this or get one of these yet? I'm on the fence. I can't fit any other kind of hoist in my garage. https://topliftpros.com/products/jeep-gladiator-hardtop-removal-tool
  10. Cost to get hardtop paint matched?

    Yeah. I dunno what I'm gonna do. I thought the Bestop Sunrider might be cool and if that's the case maybe I won't take the the back part of the top off that often. I dunno. I honestly think I would ultimately prefer the regular painted top and not Line-X.. The Line-X is gonna have that bed...
  11. Cost to get hardtop paint matched?

    ...this but ultimately decided against it. I very much prefer the look of the painted hard tops, but the black is just more functional. I’ve already chipped it, but fixing will be easy. The line-x sounds like a happy medium except it can be heavy and I still have to lift my top off without a hoist.
  12. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Moved the old lights so I could move the top hoist to actual center. Added an LED light on the front end so I could see better under the hood.
  13. Indiana Sold: Lange Hard Top Hoist Crank Style. New Still in box 200.00

    Bought from Quadratec a couple of months ago and was never taken out and installed Paid 300.00. It is on sale at the moment and reason but this is still a great buy.
  14. What am I missing?

    Because it’s so damn hot in KS over the summer I typically leave my top on for a little shade but pull the doors pretty regularly. I can remove or install all 4 in less than 10 minutes, so not too bad. My kids are older so if they fall out, it’s on them!:) I have a cordless ratchet that I...
  15. What am I missing?

    I agree. I keep my top off all summer and into october usually, but since i have kids, i normally don't take the doors off. It is such a bigger pain in the ass to remove the doors then to hoist the top off. maybe i'm just used to doing it though. idk.
  16. A simple tool to help with tire removal and installation.

    ...For example, on two different occasions, I tried my local Discount Tire. One time when lifting my Durango, they crushed the fuel tank. On another visit with my wife's 300, they destroyed the front splash guards with the hoist pads. Too much inexperienced youth turnover. Not worth it for free. ?
  17. What's the hardest Jeep mod/install you've ever done?

    When I first got married to the first wifey and was living in an apartment. Wifey comes home and finds me doing a valve job on the kitchen table. And the rest of my race bike torn apart in the living room. That went over real good with her. LOL
  18. What's the hardest Jeep mod/install you've ever done?

    ...rebuilds, oil circulation system, fuel pump, stator, oil pump, etc, etc. I removed the engine with the boat still floating in my slip. Engine hoist was attached to the building with a 30ft tow strap to make sure it couldn’t go over the sea wall. My neighbors hated me. It ran perfectly until I...
  19. POLL: Should I Buy A Soft Top ?

    I've throughly enjoyed soft tops on my wranglers and now JT. I use a Harken hoist to keep the hard top off in the summer.
  20. Have any of you with 37+ tires gotten a flat on the road??

    ...than dropping the spare. I think an air compressor and plug kit are at least as valuable as a spare. One time about 10 years ago one of my crews hit something on the highway and destroyed a tire. The spare tire hoist locked up and we couldn't get the spare down. I had to trailer that van...
