So, I know that the gross weight of a car is the weight of a car and the cargo/passengers. Curb weight is just the weight of the car without cargo/passengers. What is base weight? Jeep website lists the base weight and curb weight for the Rubicon as the same at 5,072 lbs for auto transmission...
What do you guys think is a fair price for a 1971 J10 if you are looking for a project car? One came up nearby me here, which is one of those old farm truck styles with a wooden bed frame and a rebuilt motor and automatic transmission... They are asking $7500 for it... I don't know much about...
I was wondering if any of you use The Club or a steering wheel lock device or any other gadget/device to protect your JT when you park in places where car theft might be high?
Has anyone looked at adding different color matched hoses, fittings, engine covers, bolts etc to beautify under the hood engine compartment? Just curious if the Jeep community does that?
So, for my needs I finally decided on ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5" suspension lift kit and their steering stabilizer. I am pretty mechanically inclined, but I have never done such an install. The local reputable 4x4 shop quoted me $780 for the install including taxes. The price seems fair to me...
So, I am contemplating adding an intake more specifically the one from :

I just bought a bug deflector with some LED lights on them and it connects to the parking lights. Can anyone tell me how can I find information in the fuse box on which one is the parking light? I am assuming I need to connect this wire to one of the plugs in the fusebox that identifies as...
The wheels I can order only come in 17x8 or 17x9 - which one should I get? Isn't the ideal size 17x8.5?
I have to admit I don't know much about wheel besides the diameter sizes...
So, I got a hi-lift jack and the doo-dads to mount on the hood. I was wondering if that would cause a lot of noise in the wind etc while driving in the highways or is that ok? Anyone have experience?
Alternately, I can mount it on the molle system I have along side the bed from BuiltRight as...
Is it just me or does anyone else feel the need for more brighter overhead lighting for the driver and passenger a bit more up front as opposed to one in the middle? On my long trip, I realized that light was not really illuminating the driver side and passenger side all that well and we would...
I am torn between these two CB radios:

OR

The reviews on the Cobra are somewhat horrible but I do like the...
I noticed that there are two metal loops behind the back seat that say tether - anyone know what purpose that serves? Do people tie the seats to that metal loop when they go off-roading?
Can someone tell me the diff between these two shovels if you know that is:

Anyone use this water tank - I know this is not big but small and portable can be tucked away in the bed for any emergency use of water? I was wondering how reliable and robust this is... It seems to be fairly priced:

I like the fab fours rear bumper and the plastic inlays in the stock Rubi steel rear bumper turn me off
https://fabfours.com/product/jeep-gladiator-rear-bumper/
Should I upgrade? Or not worth it? I do like how the fab fours one goes around the rear all the way up to the tail lights
What do...
So, I have been floating around this idea about maybe possibly having a second Gladiator in Gator&Diesel when it is available and build it up mainly for overlanding, camping and towing. What would be the cheapest recommendation to start from if I am going to just swap out a bunch of stuff? Do I...
So, I was thinking of people contributing to any hidden, quirky, buried feature that an average casual user might not know and this way we all can learn more about all the features of the JT.
Please feel free to contribute...
