  1. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Yes they do, if that was specified when ordered. You can see that on this two door. Sadly, Shrockworks went out of business last year.
  2. Nevada Backcountry Discovery Route

    Starting at 18:51 through 24:32 on the day 4 video, much of the trail is washed out. I'm not sure what your wife's tolerance is, but you might want to listen to my studio chat about this section of the video. That is on the day 5 video. I recommend listening to it starting at 29:15 where I...
  3. Worst thing you’ve been hit by driving topless?

    Strand from a barbed wire fence across my face when I was in college driving my 1963 Karmann Ghia along a dirt road and hit a soft spot. Have a scar on my nose from it, and took 32 stitches in my face and top of my head. Almost took out my right eye--was very lucky it didn't. Because of that...
  4. Battery upgrade options?

    For overlanders who truly get out there, I strongly recommend the dual-battery option. One single, large battery is still susceptible to the biggest problem with batteries for overlanding: Harsh vibration of washboard roads damaging the battery internally. Like what happened to my friend...
  5. Nevada Backcountry Discovery Route

    All videos are now online. Here is the playlist. Note that ads are now forced on my channel by Google. Please feel guilt-free to hit the skip button when it appears. I make no money off the videos ...
  6. Places in Georgia To go on the trails

    I was going to recommend that, too, I drove the western half a few years ago. Here's a video on what to expect on that, if interested ... I apologize for the ads. My channel is not monetized, but Google is now forcing ads on those of us who don't. Please feel free to hit the "Skip" button...
  7. WHY?

    Last year I drove most of the TransAmerica Trail across Oklahoma and we camped a lot in designated campsites. That is the nature of the beast in Oklahoma, which is, just like Texas, mostly private land. We made the best of the adventure, adding in some neat places a bit off the route. Here's...
  8. Cameras not working after disconnecting battery

    When I installed the Genesis dual-battery kit in my Gladiator, it also lost the cameras. But a friend told me to try again a few hours later, that his had fixed itself. I waited, and then it worked just fine, as he suggested.
  9. Where did you WHEEL your Gladiator today?

    This is actually my friend's Gladiator and my 2007 Wrangler last week as a few friends from Nevada, Colorado, California and Oklahoma spent six days along the Nevada Backcountry Discovery Route ... If you're interested in the video series. the teaser is now online. Note that you may see ads...
  10. Nevada Backcountry Discovery Route

    Just ran the southern part of the Nevada Backcountry Discovery Route in March with friends from California, Colorado and Nevada. I took my Wrangler, which is better set up for overlanding than my Gladiator, but the friend from Nevada did have a Gladiator on the trip. The teaser video is now...
  11. Front fender losses, anyone?

    Not (yet) on my Gladiator, but a couple years back I set a $300 eye loupe (it adapts my HDSLR's Live View function to shoot better video) on my fender and then drove off. It was along a two-lane highway in nowhere, Wyoming. I realized it after a few miles, turned around and found it laying in...
  12. Good News for Mobil 1 Fans!

    Man, I was hurting a year ago when I needed to change my filter elements and there was no TP to be found (much less Charmin!).
  13. Good News for Mobil 1 Fans!

    Yeah, that six quarts in the JK 3.6 vs the five in the JT is why I asked the question. Trying to bring it to folks' attention in a kind way.
  14. Good News for Mobil 1 Fans!

    The liquid I've found a problem with at extreme angles is the coolant in my 2007 JK. I've found it best to not fill it any higher than the min line when cool. Fill it higher, and when it's hot and you're at an extreme angle, you'll end up looking for where you're leaking coolant--and it's just...
  15. What’s the average age here on the Forum?

    I'm 71. Believe me, when you get older yet, you learn to not trust the fart.
  16. Good News for Mobil 1 Fans!

    My JK has the 3.8L motor, which takes six quarts of oil. However, the JT 3.6L motor only takes five. Why are folks posting in this thread about buying the six quart cases instead of the five quart bottle? And, thinking of the five quart bottles, I bought one of Pennzoil Platinum full...
  17. Uses for the Aux Switch

    Molle Platform Solutions. They have separate ones for soft and hard top, so be careful if you order one. For those who own both tops, you might see if the hard top one works with the soft top; you probably just have an extra access hole for the Freedom Top panels that you don't need.
  18. Section 179Tax break...

    After I retired from the Air Force I began a small defense consulting business. I had to deal with the complexities of depreciation, depreciation schedules, section 179, etc. The laws have changed--some significantly--since I retired completely, so I would caution to take what advice I give as...
  19. Section 179Tax break...

    I would caution that if you choose the Section 179 deduction and later close or stop earning business income, then you must pay recapture taxes. You could end up paying those recapture taxes when you have a significant drop in income because of that business closure. It could be safer to take...
