  1. My Stupidly-Expensive Onboard Air Setup

    I was tired of wasting so much time airing down and up when wheeling. Combined, those tasks would eat up over an hour of a trail day. I've had various OBA setups on my Jeeps and decided to go for broke on this one. Compressor: ARB Twin Compressor. My first one lasted twelve years across three...
  2. Muddy At Kansas Rocks

    Kansas Rocks hosted its annual Wheeling For Toys event. The park was sticky and the crummy weather meant many stayed home. A stranger I met on the internet from out of state asked me to show him around the park, so I did. The day was excellent. Per usual, if there's any rain within a week then...
  3. Lightweight Jeep Gladiator: Why Aluminum Skids Work For For Me (And Artec Industries Aluminum Skids Fitment Problem)

    I minimize the weight I add to my rig to maximize my available payload. I'm not an aggressive crawler (but I used to wheel like a maniac) so I don't need a bulletproof undercarriage. For months I scoured this forum, product pages, and YouTube for insight on which skids are right for me...
  4. (SOLVED) Oil Leak Around Ignition Coils

    I noticed an oil leak around my ignition coils that I presume started since my last oil change (no surface oil upon visual inspection). What can cause this to happen? I'm curious in case it's an operator error and I need to change how I drive after it's fixed. I don't drive like a banshee...
  5. Muddy Kansas Rocks - Stock Sport to Modified Rubicon Gladiators Tackle Some Trails

    Five of us went to Kansas Rocks for a day of wheeling in sporadic rain. I've been going there for a decade to stay sharp on my off-roading skills, so when I'm out on adventure trips I know what I can safely handle. The drivers of the Max Tow Sport and Overland have never been off-road before...
  6. AEV Snorkel Install: Step-By-Step Guide (Don't Make My Mistakes)

    I installed the AEV snorkel on my JT and documented the process because I didn't see a how-to video already done. I installed it primarily for the pre-filter, to "pre-clean" dusty air before it reaches the air filter on trail days. The snorkel and components are stout, but I should have done a...
  7. Gladiator Cargo Rails: BuiltRight Industries Utility Rail System Review

    My Gladiator didn't come with the Mopar Trail Rail system and I needed more load securing options than the four standard tie-downs. I found an aftermarket bed rail system that, in my opinion, is better than what you get from the factory. That's the BuiltRight Industries Utility Rail System. I...
  8. I Don’t Like Campers Trip Journal: Tonto National Forest Trip With Gladiator, ZR2, Canyon

    Do any of you tow a camper off-road? I recently went on a trip with a buddy that towed a camper with his ZR2 and it was a PITA. I ended up having to drag the camper up and down the trail to camp for him. I understand campers provide comfort and simple shelter but for the places I like to go...
  9. Gladiator Rubicon vs Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Off-Road Comparison: My Take

    A long-time wheeling buddy and I traded in our built JKs for trucks. I got a JTR and he went with the ZRZ. He preferred to get a JT as well but he understandably couldn't swing the cost. Our adventure travel needs have changed over the years and we're no longer trying to conquer massive...
  10. Building With Purpose, Not Ego: Berserker Offroad Gladiator Build

    Yesterday I took my Gladiator to Kansas Rocks where I've wheeled JKs for years. I wanted to see how capable it is and understand how cognizant I need to be of the breakover angle. The Jeep exceeded my expectations. I went in thinking I was driving a sled (conjuring memories of my "Big Guys Drag...
  11. Kansas City Metro Jeep Gladiators

    Hello, fellow Jeepers! Last week I traded in on a 2020 Gladiator and I'm still smiling. It's a fantastic machine and of the six Jeeps I've owned it's by far my favorite. Post a pic if you're in the KC area- I've seen some clean builds around and It would be nice to put a name to the ride and...
