We had a long running thread with a lot of contributors trying to settle how the 2 Jeep batteries worked together and what actually happens when the "Start" process is initiated. Below is a synopsis of the discussion. I am also including the link to the thread in the case you are bored and...

I just spent a week in Big Bend with friends. We did most of our exploring outside the park. it was a great week to be in southwest Texas.

I have read and written a lot regarding my Jeeps batteries and how the work (or don’t work). Today I saw this and it gave me a big laugh.

I recently read through an engine repair thread written by member NoDucksGiven - https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/cam-rockers-and-lash-adjusters-at-39k-miles.79055/ Judging from the engine repair write up NoDuckGiven posted, he is a smart and talented guy. He wrote something...

I removed the aux battery, replaced the main battery with a premium H7/Group 94 battery, and installed a SmartStartStop device. Ahhh! No more worries except for peace and world hunger. :) Smart Stop Start - HOME BTW, send the seller an email for a possible forum discount.

The Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) is not smart. It is just a sensor. The Smart Alternator is dumb. When it is winter (cold), it just charges along at 14.5-14.7, regardless of the state of charge of the battery. The Jeep 2 battery system is effectively just one battery. Except for a...

I am the lucky owner of 2 2020 Jeeps. One is a JT, one is a JLU. I had some start/stop trouble with the JLU. It took 3 visits to the dealer before they fixed it by installing a new main battery. Everything has worked since then. I was a little concerned about having on old battery paired...

I've recently had some battery trouble. I went to the dealer because my Jeep was still under warranty. It took 3 trips to the dealer to resolve the issue. While the dealer worked on my Jeep, I studied the threads here. First impression? Durn, this battery poop is complicated. Even the...

My wife and I bought a Gladiator. The Gladiator is our second Jeep, the other being a 2004 Wrangler Rubicon. We are retired and have been RV'ing since 2014. The first few years we RV'd with dirt bikes. As age and medical problems snuck up on us, we switched to a Jeep (2016). The problem...

New tires yesterday. I liked the original Falken tires. I let them go too long before rotating tires, and they got noisy. I went with 35x11.5 tires both so I could use the original wheels and I could stay in the fenders. Ahhhh, it's good to have a quiet ride again. :)

NO, really. When I lift the hood I can hear them sliding around. This all started after I towed my newish 2020 JT Rubicon to Big Bend Country and then spent several days riding on the desert dirt roads. My Jeep was mega dirty when I got home, and It took a full day to get it looking like new...

This mod was not my idea. I am putting a Harbor Freight Apex 12,000 pound winch on my Gladiator. When I dropped the winch into place, the positive cable that comes out of the back of the control box was pressing against my grill. I was not happy with that. It was the end of a longish day...

I chose a Rockhard bumper because it matches up with the way I tow my TJ. It is a more expensive bumper than most, but they sell tow brackets with it, so I do not have to have a base plate. I ordered my bumper from Rubitrux in Boone, NC. Rockhard products seem to be the same price everywhere...

New 2020, made 8/20. Her name is Imogene (thinking of Imogene Pass near Ouray, CO). She complements Rootie the Rubicon perfectly.
