  1. Getting ready for our Gladiator

    I'm OK with the duck thing, but I'm not on board with this new tend :LOL:
  2. Getting ready for our Gladiator

    I passed my first duck onto a new owner last night after dinner. There was a nicely modded yellow Wrangler parked across from me. Dashboard full of ducks, so I figured they'd appreciate another. I have to admit, it felt a little weird. Like "Am I really supposed to be doing this? What if I get...

  4. Doors off, how do you secure your Jeep?

    The only security is trust in my fellow man. If I'm going somewhere I don't trust, I take a different vehicle.
  5. Door Pockets / Storage!

    So I've been running these pockets for a while now, seem like they're OK. Until the other day, I tried to open the door while wearing the seatbelt and couldn't do it. The door pocket frame comes to a point at the rear end that is positioned just right to snag the seatbelt as you put it on. I...
  6. Where Is That Extra 4 Gallons of Gas ?

    I fill up around 1/4 tank because it gives me the flexibility to do it when/where I want. Not many decisions inspire regret like "I'll fill up on the way to work tomorrow"
  7. EZ4X4 Gladiator Hard Top Lift now available

    Yes, I stuck mine on top of the roof after I wheeled it into the garage. Probably should put a blanket between to prevent scratches. The top is very stable on the lift, so I’m not worried about them sliding off.
  8. EZ4X4 Gladiator Hard Top Lift now available

    As far as I can guess, to remove the HT with a cap in place, you'd need a high ceiling lift that could raise the top straight up above the roofline. At best, I think you could unclamp the top and slide it back on the rails a foot or so. The hoist only lifts the top a few inches, then you need...
  9. Hard Top lift review

    No problem. The garage is about 21' from the wood shelves to the door. The lift post sticks out about a foot from the shelves. I thought I was closer, but I'm actually parked about 10" away from the lift post. The Gladiator is a little over 18' long. I still had enough room to get around the...
  10. Hard Top lift review

    It's UP and it's IN! Had a warm day and a little motivation, so I popped the top off. Took about 15 minutes, total only a couple minutes to hook up the hoist. Pro tip for those with more beauty than brains (like me) if you push on the ends of the pins for the rain gutter clamps, the little...
  11. EZ4X4 Gladiator Hard Top Lift now available

    I just took the top of my Gladiator with this lift. RMarsh, I'd put a definite "maybe" on your question. How much does the Smartcap weigh? I'd guess it's probably strong enough, balancing the load might be an issue.
  12. Hard Top lift review

    That's my intent, the website shows it's possible. I may have to lower it a bit to get through the garage door, then up again to clear the hood. I may have to clear a bit of crap to fit everything in, I have some built in shelves at the back of the garage, so I can gain ~3' if I need it, but I'd...
  13. Hard Top lift review

    Initial thoughts, review to follow up if it ever gets warm enough to actually take my HT off and put it to use. The layout of my garage prevents me from installing a ceiling mounted hoist where I can remove the HT directly from my truck. Up to now, I've been removing it with assistance...
  14. How Much Did You Spend on Your Gladiator Today?

    You'll know what I bought and how much I spent when you check your inbox tomorrow morning :LOL: Got tired of struggling with my home-made roof hoist.
  15. Door Pockets / Storage!

    Yea, it's pretty dumb that we have to add on to a poor design, but it's not just Jeep. I had to spend $75 to add a light into the trunk hatch of my wife's new Honda Passport. The wiring and small panel to pop out are already there, I can see it being left off the base trim, but it should be...
  16. Door Pockets / Storage!

    Finally git a nice day, took a few minutes to install my Hooke Pockets. Pretty easy to install, deapite the weakness of the netting-the hardest part was probably cutting through the old elastic. New nets seem much stronger and have a center support. Pocket is about 1” wide now, no issues with my...
  17. NEW: EZ4X4 announces bundles

    I'm planning to get the HT lift once it warms up a little more and I swap to the ST for Summer. Couple questions- What is the usual shipping time? I'm in Connecticut How big are the standard casters? I'm thinking I'd likely upgrade to the larger ones, I'll be moving from my somewhat rough...

    No, but I have thought that naming him "Spank" must've been suggested at some point
  19. Door Pockets / Storage!

    I bought these- From Hooke Road https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8VPTD7N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I don't really use the door pockets, (my wife does which is why they're all stretched out) and wanted to keep as much room as possible, heard too many warnings about deeper pockets...
