15mpg and power loss without towing?! That's unreal. I'm at 1500 miles and just towed our 2200lb camper from Denver to Twin Falls, ID in 90+ degree heat without issue. I was crazy nervous that I'd have problems after reading all of these threads but it handled it like a champ, miles better than...
When does the fan normally turn on? And the Tazer's function works when the engine running and driving? I ask b/c their description of it says "Cooldown mode: Turn engine fans on demand when the ignition is on, engine not running"
I'm definitely interested in your pass towing test. I have yet...
Response from Mishimoto...
Thanks for the E-mail! Unfortunately, at this time we do not plan to offer a line of direct fit products for the diesel Gladiator. I am sorry for any inconvenience. However, I will be happy to add your information to our product suggestion list! If we do decide to...
I just received a similar response from PTP. They'd love to have someone in the area bring theirs by so they can take a look at the turbo config. Calling volunteers in the Austin area...
Same. I emailed Mishimoto and as I mentioned in a previous thread somewhere I also emailed PTP about a turbo blanket and they said they'd consider if there is enough interest, so maybe flood them with requests too.
I'll take the diesel over the '17 JKU I had six days a week and twice on Sundays. Taking the JK into the mountains was borderline dangerous on the highway due to the 3.6's total lack of power. Now I can cruise at 65 over a pass and even pass other cars without hesitation when needed. It also...
I reached out to PTP Turbo Blankets after seeing them mentioned in this thread and asked about any plans to offer a blanket for this application. Their response...
"If there is demand, it will be something we’d look further into. Unfortunately this is the first inquiry we’ve received for this...
Reading through this and the other threads is really starting to worry me about my recent purchase of the diesel. I traded in my '18 JKU so I could still take it out on the trails, albeit more moderate ones, have a useful bed for project supplies, and pull our 2200lb camper through the...
The one on the right is what came with the steel bumper I swapped on, so it fits perfectly. If they are functionally the same light, just different brackets/applications, then I'll just run the ones that fit the steel bumper and sell the ones that came with the plastic bumper. Thanks!
I swapped a steel winch bumper onto my Overland and am now questioning if the fog lights in the steel bumper (pictured right below) are a downgrade from the ones that fit in the stock plastic bumper (pictured left below). Anyone know if there's any functional difference between these? There's no...
Swapped on a Rubicon takeoff steel bumper and mounted the winch I had on my JK. Also swapped on some Rubicon takeoff rock sliders. Then installed the Access tonneau cover.
We went with the Taxa Cricket after looking at many many teardrops and similar. It's on the pricier end but it's very well engineered, can go pretty much anywhere, and the kitchen is inside, which I really like given we take it out year round. Sleeps two adults and two dogs without a problem and...
2" Mopar lift, 285/75r18 Toyo OC ATs, adjustable front track bar. I had the same setup on my JKUR and loved it, handled every trail I threw at it in CO and UT. I have an OEM steel winch bumper I got off CL and the Smittybilt X20 I kept from the JK yet to go on, so I'll see how that impacts the...
Finally pulled the trigger, ordered about 5 weeks ago, picked up yesterday. Overland diesel with the Mopar 2" lift, adjustable front track bar, and 287/75r18 Toyo OC ATs. I will definitely miss the manual JKUR I traded in but this will be miles better for towing our camper into the mountains and...
I want to make absolutely sure this will work before I pick one up, but wondering if anyone can confirm that the Mopar steel, winch capable front bumper (82215121AE) will bolt up to a diesel Overland. I have such a Gladiator on order and there's a bumper takeoff for sale locally that would save...
