No idea on how I posted this in the classified section. But it got deleted, so let me post it again with updates
Got it unboxed, got my extra Q tech retro wheel and center cap this past weekend.
Did a quick test fit using the 35" Grabber spare i had under the truck. I was going to purchase...
I have been eyeing the Wilco hitchgate drop for a while now. I like the fact that is light (33 lbs) and still retains a tow hitch rating of 750lb tongue weight and 7500lb capacity. And its cheap. Don't want to spend $2000 on a complete new bumper with tire carrier as my current spare does...
This was posted on our local county FB page today. Evidently, the comments said heading to some Ice races on one of our local bodies of water here in SE Michigan. Pretty darn cool.
Wonder if the owner is on this page?
Was driving the jeep today and all of sudden my TPMS light came on. Lost 3 of the 4 sensor. LR showed 34 and the other 3 showed a dash. Its cold. -5 here without windchill. Drove another 15 miles and my Right front came back at 35 but the other 2 were dashes when I got home to the...
Kind of a proud dad moment. My son (he's 21 years old) decided it was time to move away from his clean 2003 s10 crew cab with 75K miles which he's had to fix a few mechanical issues as of late and into a bigger truck that suits his needs. Before that we had bought him a ZR2 blazer as his first...
Never knew my dad was so involved in HS activities. He passed away in 2009. Batting champion in 1955 with a .312 average and played with his brother who graduated in 1957 2 years behind him. He played with my uncle in all 3 sports, baseball, football, basketball. he was number 13 in basketball...
First the Grabber ATx was discontinued in 37x12.50R17 with only 35's being the largest size, and now the X3's in 37x12.50R17 are no longer available.
I loved my 35X12.50R17 AT/x's and had to settle for BFG K02's in a 37x12.50R17 and now the X3's are no longer available in a 17" rim on a 37"...
This is probably the dumbest question I have asked, but I didn't have an answer for when a buddy of mine got a brand new gladiator Rubicon and had his dealer put on a Mopar lift and 37" tires. They said they couldn't flash his computer to 37's ( could only goto 35" because that was what the...
Long story short. Bypassed my aux battery and pulled the negative cable and fuse 42 etc back in Oct / Nov 2024 when the aux battery took a dump and stalled the truck in my driveway at 9V. Then my truck went haywire and voltage on the cluster was 16+ volts and changed the main battery around...
After rolling 55K+ and still running factory brakes and upgrading to 37" tires for the last 2 months (ran 35's from 0 miles to just under 55K), its probably time to upgrade the brakes. Their still fine, but I have noticed over the last couple weeks a slight decrease in braking distance which is...
We celebrated our Michigan Tech University's 50th anniversary of its 4 wheeler club. 1975 to 2025 last weekend. I transferred there in 1991 and graduated with EE degree in 1994 and a Operations mgmt in 1996. I was president of the club in 1996 when running my K5 Jimmy. We had 18 former...
Looking for a set of factory painted white high clearance front flares. Don't need the rears but would consider them as a package deal. Located in Michigan. Doesn't matter if you have the wheel liners or not. I can get those relatively easy.
Wasn't quite ready for new tires as I have about 6K+ miles or so left on the 35" Grabber ATX's but I wanted to get the 37's for my trip back to my stomping grounds in the UP at the end of May for the 50th anniversary of the MTU Fourwheeler group.
I came across the Mopar website where they are...
Long story short. Last fall I lost the aux battery. Truck died in my driveway at 8V. Tied the negative ground cable up and pulled fuse 42. Truck ran fine from Oct 2024 to Jan 2025, when my battery voltage went to over 16V and turned on every light on the DIC and multiple messages about...
Not a Jeep gladiator post, but my wife limped into our local Discount Tire with a flat on her 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L with 5000 miles on it. She had a screw that was too close to the sidewall to patch. Pirelli Scorpion Verde tire in 265/50/20. They charged her $507.75 for a new tire and it...
I probably have about 2K miles or so left on current Grabber 35 ATx's. Setting at 52K+ miles currently. Been a fantastic tire and not 1 single complaint. Rides great. Wear has been awesome. Wet / snowy / slushy on road drivability is fantastic. Off-roading very good but they do load up...
Noticed tonight that my drivers side DRL bulb doesn't work and neither does my quadratec pre-runner lights that plug into the drivers side fender light harness. Haven't had the chance to pull anything apart yet, but looking in my owners manual, I couldn't find any DRL fuses anywhere. I doubt...
