  1. Death Wobble settlement agreement in class-action case could mean reimbursement for some Jeep owners

    I had an early 2018 JLU Sport that had a violent "death-wobble". The dealership replaced 4 steering dampers, the last one fixed the problem (could they have done something else they didn't tell me? Possibly). It only happed when hitting uneven holes/expansion joints. However, even in the most...
  2. Happier Then or Happier Now?

    JK and JT look great. The green vehicle in the middle looks off road ready as well. Does it have lockers and front sway bar disconnects as well? haha Seriously, good looking family.
  3. Happier Then or Happier Now?

    Almost 60k miles in 2.5 yrs and ZERO issues on 2020JT Max Tow. Makes me rethink the money I spent on a 70k mile extended warranty. But, I'd rather have it and not need it as need it and not have it. Lightly moded, Air-Lift air bags, Rancho RS9000xl adjustable shocks, OEM hard-folding tonneau...
  4. Looking for a Rubicon style Sting Gray hood

    I am in the market as well. There is a website of junk-yards across the country https://www.car-part.com/ . They have Rubicon (vented) hoods routinely for $525-$700 (most are take-offs in Jeep colors). They have different colors and you have to be careful, some are without vents or hinges or...
  5. Mojave orange mods

    Yeah, the orange on the left was a fluorescent and although I like it for fishing lures, it would only look good on some of those crazy SEMA builds. haha
  6. Mojave orange mods

    I was not deliberate on finding the closest matching Mojave orange. I used what I had. https://www.amazon.com/HATCHBOX-3D-Filament-Dimensional-Accuracy/dp/B00J0EE1D4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1FSRFTAD20XRB&keywords=orange+pla&qid=1668105433&sprefix=orange+pla%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-3 . There is probably a...
  7. Mojave orange mods

    I don't "Duck", but I do anonymously leave hitch covers under wiper blades. I print them in many different colors. I have left several orange ones on Mojave's. 3D files available on Thingaverse or Yeggi (not my design). There is also Visor Reinforcement Clip that would be a unique accent in...
  8. Someone should burn this thing!

    But just think of that poor sad Jeep underneath all that cosmetic fluff. He/she did nothing to disserve this. OR, maybe, this was one of those rouge Jeeps, that was built of Friday the 13th and turned to the dark side. Then after a short life of crime, a trial and judgement, someone is trying...
  9. Is this amount of rust normal for only a few days of rain?

    Has anyone tried commercial products like Ziebart?
  10. Jeep Debuts ‘Path Connected’ Video Previewing Uconnect 5 and How Software Can Enhance Experiences in Future

    Will this only work with similarly equipped Jeeps? I am not a big fan of proprietary software (especially Version 1.0), I'm sure most of you have found other ways to accomplish location tracking and texting while wheeling outside cellular coverage areas. This technology has been around a...
  11. Towing 6500lbs with the Overland

    I'm enjoying this thread. So, here's my 2 cents. In 2018 I purchased a JL, last Jeep was a CJ5 thirty years ago. We loved the JL. But I have a small camper (3200# wet)and a boat (4000# wet). JL handled the camper but boat was out of range so I never towed it. Then came the Gladiator. So, I...
  12. Anyone have thoughts on going from a truck and wrangler to a Gladiator?

    Several years ago, my perfect setup was a 3500 Silverado single cab, single rear wheel gasser (deisel added too much weight), Lance 3800# slide-in camper and 22' Bay Boat. Wife and I averaged 66 days a year camping and on the water and we both had full time jobs. Equipment and we got older and...

    Sounds like you have done your homework and sounds like you have made a very thoughtful decision. My Joe-Schmo opinion; I think you'll be fine. Send us pictures.

    The WDH will move some tongue weight forward, this helps with tongue weight but doesn't help with payload. It will also move some of the tongue weight rearward to the trailer axle(s), how much depends on the tension you put on the bars/chains. I do not know how to calculate this number. You...

    SRoberts, as a licensed engineer, most of us here should be asking you about weights and measures, I know I should. I agree with your disclaimer, and that if we stay at or under all weight rating limits we can reasonably expect that the OEM has engineered the vehicle to perform safely under...
  16. 2020 Gladiator Towing (Overland)

    B, Your numbers make sense. Remember if your total trailer weight is 6490# when you connect it to your TV and put 649#'s of that weight on the hitch, you can then subtract that 649#s from your trailers total weight. In other words, if your TV curb weight is 5600# and the TT curb weight is...

    Yep, everything has to be counted. I used an Andersen hitch. It uses chains instead of a heavy bar and provides anti-sway without the friction piece. It is much lighter than standard Blue Ox and the like.

    I was being facetious. Upgrade to Rubicon or possibly downgrade to S with Max Tow depending on whether your rock crawl or tow mostly (S-Max Tow has higher towing/tongue weight specs). If you do either, don't forget the diesel is coming.

    GW, I was able to shift approx 200# using WDH on a JLUS, Andersen WDH and a 3100# TT. I'm guessing you may be able to make it work. Upgrade to what??? They don't make a Trail Rated, 1-ton Dually convertible. ;-)

    Sounds like you are on top of the performance and hitch aspect. My understanding is that the Payload Capacity takes into account everything that the vehicle came with from the factory and including a full tank of fuel.
