  1. Converted Starlink to 12V to use less power

    I recently put in a 100ah lithium battery system with a 40 amp dcdc charger. My two main draws are the fridge and Starlink (with occasional use of the ice maker as well). The Starlink uses a lot of ac power. It can be converted to dc power for a significant savings in draw as well as savings...
  2. Is this a ground point and how do I use it?

    I looked at the diagram of ground points to find a good place for my new lithium battery setup. It shows one about in the middle of the rear passenger side door on the driver's side. What I found is a connector that works a lot like one of the door electrical disconnects that you use when you...
  3. Finished up the bar. In case of emergency!

    Best rack modification ever. IMO. But then I am a distiller so I may be biased. :CWL:
  4. Truckhouse based on AEV Ram 3500

    Gotta say this new Truckhouse is pretty interesting. With the two door option it's about the same wheelbase as a Gladiator. I've always liked the Earth Roamers but they are too big to go to a lot of places. This is really tempting. Not as capable as my Gladiator but it would be really nice for a...
  5. Corrosion on hood hinges

    Anyone know if this falls under the 5 years, 100,000 miles rust warranty?
  6. Ecoflow or Redarc/Victron?

    Current setup - Genesis dual battery system, Bluetti 70S, 200 watts portable solar. Usage - Fridge, Starlink, device charging, camp lights. I am going to be adding an ice maker. Originally just used the Genesis before getting Starlink. As long as we were driving a bit every day it worked...
  7. Anyone setup a heat exchanger for hot water?

    I have been making some tweaks to my setup and considering installing a heat exchanger for hot water for showers. There are pros and cons and yes, you need to run your engine to get hot water. I am curious if anyone on here has experience installing a system like this on a 3.6 Gladiator. It...
  8. Amazing Gladiator trips in 2022 from Florida to California and back! Love this Jeep...

    What a great Gladiator year! Two main trips from Florida to California and back. Despite one mechanical issue I love this Jeep. Just looking through my phone at pics from this year. Thought I would share some of them. Death Valley Desert dust Titus Canyon Panamint Range...
  9. P0301 while far from home

    On our way back from a close to two month overlanding/road trip. We are in Barstow, California and live in Florida. I got the P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire) while running at high revs climbing a hill. Just had the oil and air filter changed at a dealer in Monterey today but doubt that is related...
  10. Happy with the Starlink so far.

    Going to be testing it further off grid soon. It has worked great around town. This is a real game changer if you need internet access while in more remote locations.
  11. Custom aluminum slide - leave raw, powder coat, rhino line?

    My buddie is just finishing up the aluminum bed slide. It's pretty cool. Low profile enough to allow me to fit a fridge under a roll up soft tonneau cover. Trying to decide if I want to leave it raw aluminum, powder coat it black to match the rest of the truck, or do a bed liner material. What...
  12. Shock advice please

    2020 gas Gladiator. 3 1/2" Metalcloak Gamechanger. We do a lot of different things from long highway miles to rock crawling to overlanding. I have a pretty good amount of permanent weight. Currently running the Metalcloak shocks but have over 30k miles on them. Willing to spend up to 2 or...
  13. Best place to order Nitto Trail Grapplers?

    Looking to get a new set before a big trip in the fall. 37x12.5 17s. They seem to be back ordered everywhere.
  14. Lowest profile bed slide?

    I have a soft bed cover. Want to keep as much vertical space as possible in the bed. Any suggestions for a low profile bed slide solution? Most seem to eat up a lot of vertical space. Either manufactured or something I can build is fine.
  15. Airbags for wheeling?

    I know very little about airbags and haven't thought about them much before. Sitting here sipping on some rum and started to wonder about them. Usually people talk about them for use when towing. Can they have any advantages when off road? I don't know if they can raise the Jeep above the...
  16. 25+ degrees of roll with a rooftop tent

    I've seen a lot of guys ask about center of gravity when you start adding things to your roof or rack. My wife caught this vid on Pleasant Canyon Loop where I hit 25+ degrees of roll. I looked down at when it read 25 and then tipped further but I wasn't taking my eyes off the road to see exactly...
  17. Chicken Rock on Pleasant Canyon Loop/Death Valley

    This is a very small part of the loop. We camped up top and had amazing views. Drove through snow and ice. Climbed some steep hills. Tilted at least 25 degrees at one part. This is probably the most well known part of the trail. It's really not that bad. You're at maybe 15 degrees of roll. Just...
  18. Death Valley free cabin #1. Geologist's Cabin

    There are three free cabins in Butte Valley on the eastern side of Death Valley National Park. First come first serve. This is my favorite of the three. You can get there the less interesting way from Furnace Creek using West Side Road and Warm Springs Road. Or you can go through Goler Wash...
  19. Titus Canyon - Death Valley

    A very easy drive. Could do it without a Jeep, but it's more fun in one!
