  1. Am I just a wussy baby man, or was I smart (or at least cautious?)

    When you took the 101 at Holly Oaks, was it at 4Fest? If it was, was your lead or tail a white JT Rubicon? If so that was me. I am glad to see you wanting to get back out there! Regarding your original question, as many others have said it is best practice to not wheel alone. Can your Jeep make...
  2. Do we need to occasionally run the Pentastar at wide open throttle for lubrication purposes?

    Water vapor is a natural byproduct of combustion, and as the exhaust gas travels the length of the exhaust, it condenses and therefore causes the water you are seeing. High RPMs result in a greater volume of exhaust gas exiting, therefore helping to push that out, but in all reality, getting...
  3. Am I stupid to Keep in garage

    Michigan here. Like most midwest states, we think we have the worst roads and use more salt than any other state. My JT is in the middle of its fifth Michigan winter, with 80k miles on it, and frankly the rust isn't as bad as I would have expected. Most the areas that have not been scraped off...
  4. Heating options in your tent (RTT or ground)

    I'll offer up my perspective on why I chose a diesel heater over the other options. Ultimately, it was what worked best for me and my set up, so YMMV. I chose a Lavaner 2kw for my wedge style RTT. Lavaner seemed to be regarded as the "best" chinese diesel heater based on what I was finding on a...
  5. Finally, the GOAT (Sliders) has arrived…

    Look awesome. I had been eyeing GOAT's products for awhile, as I wanted to support a Michigan based company if I had the choice. Knowing that Adam was the owner at ACE tells me that these are going to be solid. I have had my ACE bumper on since 2019 before ACE was sold, and have been very...
  6. Production Electric Jeep Magneto EV? Meet the Magna Jeep Gladiator EtelligentTerrain

    I had an opportunity to check this out in person and chat with some of the engineers. It is a pretty slick set up in person, and the one in the pictures is the V1 prototype. The V2 that they have in testing has a significantly smaller motor housing (I think the engineer said it is about half the...
  7. Under rear seat access locked out

    Can confirm, if you are on too steep of a hill it also locks the seat from flipping up. Had it happen to me when trying to pull someone out at the dunes, and I couldn't get to my soft shackle as it was in the lockbox under the rear seat. It allowed me to lift it a couple inches to where I could...
  8. AC Appreciation

    I am mostly happy with the AC in the JT, except for when on the trails or in certain conditions when it doesn't seem to keep up or properly regulate temps. Day to day though, I can't complain. It is a lot better than my VW was, but still the best cold AC I have experienced is in GM 2500/3500s...
  9. Overheating While Towing

    You've mentioned coolant flush, which isn't a bad idea. Is your coolant level correct? Some 2020s had slightly low levels from the factory, I for one had to add a bit to bring the reservoir up to the low mark. Make sure you spray it from the backside as well, and front and back but from below...
  10. Overheating While Towing

    That was my thought too. I do not believe it is possible to order the wide axles on an overland from the factory, it would've had to have been an aftermarket swap, which is highly unlikely that someone would go through the work of swapping to aftermarket D44s to achieve the slight increase in...
  11. Overheating While Towing

    When you say it is overheating, how hot are we talking? Is it shutting itself down and/or going into limp mode? Or are you simply noticing that the coolant, trans and oil temps are rising? When you are pushing it hard, coolant temps into the 230° range are not abnormal from what I have seen...
  12. 2024 Jeep Gladiator Refresh Caught in the Wild

    I think the current MY2023 High Altitude has the euro style mirrors with integrated blinkers, even in the US market.
  13. 2024 Jeep Gladiator Refresh Caught in the Wild

    Looks like the Northville Kroger parking lot. Great coffee shop next door to there. This same Jeep passed me the other day around town, while I personally do not like the HA trim pieces, I don't mind the 2024 refresh, especially the interior bits.
  14. Pentastar 3.6 Recall On Lash Adjusters, Allegedly

    Following. Those dates are interesting, as I know the 2020s have had significantly more issues with ticking as a result of bad lash adjusters, but it could be that there was a bad batch of parts during the 6/22-4/23 build range. If it ends up being a recall, and the dates are expanded to cover...
  15. Not a flat!

    Here’s another picture of the Method bead grip and Baja bosses flexing from this weekend. Was running them at 12 psi with an impressive amount of tire flex on the rocks with no issues!
  16. Not a flat!

    Awesome combo. I am running the Method 703s and 35" Baja Boss ATs, and they have been fantastic. Nate at Dirt Lifestyle posted a video a few weeks ago running the bead grip down to 0psi and it still didn't de-bead. I have ran mine around 10 psi a few times with no problems, and if I make it to...
  17. New Gladiator Software Update Prompt

    SW update performed on 4/20, no battery issues including this weekend where I ran a diesel heater off of an aux switch circuit overnight
  18. Brand New VRS Bed Rack System by KB Voodoo! (photo heavy)

    Looks like an awesome, well thought out design! For the VOODOO Rail, have you seen instances of bed rails deforming or crumbling under the weight of a traditional four post supported rack? I have seen issues with the Tacoma's beds, but am curious if you have ran into the same thing on...
  19. 3.6 Engine Tick

    That probably wasn’t the best picture. I snapped that picture when I picked my Jeep up, and that cam had been sitting in the trash bin for a couple days at that point so who knows what was on it.
