I'm beginning to get the random rats nest of wires and boxes and components accumulating in, on and around the battery and fuse box. No where else to put them that to just stuff them around everything.
-Power step controller
-Accessory relays
-Winch relay
-Air horn pumps
-GPS/cellular tracker...
That is what it felt like this morning.
'21 Diesel
On the Oregon coast, damp, cool, foggy. I've had a problem over the last couple days when randomly I'd come back the Jeep and the battery was dead. Jumped it, ran it to charge. Later, started fine, started fine again, drove again, stopped...
I haven't done anything too stupid to get stuck, and I'm not a huge risk taker. Plenty of time around Moab and now on the dune of the Oregon coast. Will be mostly on deserts and sand dunes, some forest mountains, but not rock crawling. Not really going above a 3 on trail ratings.
I'm...
Question if any of you have/are using any kind of air bag lifting jack? If you have, do you lift on the axel and the bags stay put? Any good or bad experience on the Jeep using these?
I have mud terrain tires that I like to rotate with the spare. So, I'm changing and rotating them a lot to...
I know about the various vinyl protectors for the rear fender, but wondering if anyone has come across anything better?
I'm spending this summer on dirt and gravel roads high in the Rockies, and plenty of rockies hitting the rear fender factory installed protect film. I have Rok Blokz wheel...
Just noticed recently that when I park and set the e-brake, that the vehicle can sometimes still have a little movement. Didn't use to do that. I checked the front brakes, and they seem a little worn for only 6k miles. Checked the rear brake and the pads look new and are also not even...
I know you "can" get the inside as wet as you want to, but do you? I do understand what water can do to metal, electrical, trapped in areas over time, etc.... What I don't know is really how well the new Gladiator interior is truly designed for water. I have fabric seats....covers are still...
I've installed the AMP Powerstep, which is essential for my wife. No other step provided a low enough step for her to get in comfortably, and I didn't want to spend the rest of my life throwing her up and in.
I won't be doing serious crawling, but there are trails with good size rocks and...
My Gladiator Willys should show up in the next week. I've already been ordering everything under the sun to make it the way I want. The last Jeep I owned was a Scrambler back in the 90's. I know a lot has changed, but I don't know what all has been tested and approved by the "community".
I...
I have an idea to add a Raspberry PI and a switch to go between the backup camera and the PI on the 7" Uconnect display. I would like to assume that the camera used on the 7" uses a somewhat standard signal. The display appears to be a 1080P resolution. If I found the connectors on Digikey...
Wondering about the really inexpensive 2.5" lift kits that simply raise the suspension....no new shocks or springs....around $100.
Is there a case where this kind of lift is acceptable and all that is really needed?
Will this change the street handling much (other than increase slightly...
I have a 40' diesel motorhome that will be pulling my ecoDiesel Gladitor (coming in 2 weeks....so hard to wait!!). This is not for a discussion on whether or not to buy diesel. That question is answered. For my motorhome, which has an older-school diesel (Cummins 330 ISC), I know what to do to...
I've read the discussion on having the Sunrider soft top open and the rear window in. How about the reverse of that? Rear window and quarter panels remove and the top up? There are days when a little shade is nice, but full airflow through the windows and out the back would be nice.
My Gladiator is being shipped, but I'm trying to figure out before hand if the rear camera can be turned on and visible while driving forward using the 7" UConnect. Any know if this is possible?
