  1. Control Arm Bolts

    Using an air wrench rated for 325 lbs. took them off quite easily.
  2. Control Arm Bolts

    That page shows them using a chrome deep well socket in the first picture?
  3. Now being hounded by another dealer - wanting my truck

    If you can't ignore a dealer's emails/texts, it must mean you want to sell it, so just do it. I believe you could always just tell the dealer to suck eggs and quit bugging you if don't have the strength to ignore, I guess. A dealer's just dealer, he ain't your friend (any kind of dealer).
  4. Stuck in infinity loop, help!!!

    Don't know if anyone else has had this issue? On Mopar.com website garage page, there is a column for My JEEP drivels Mastercard, and below this it says I have reward points and dealer dollars. The problem is I don't own nor ever applied for a Jeep Mastercard. Now for the insane infinity loop...
  5. Return to Joshua Tree w/ epic drone footage

    Joshua Tree is cool always. Just be careful with that drone (illegal to fly in the park boundaries and can be confiscated), and I've met rangers even in remote areas of that park and usually they are carrying AR-15s (they are law enforcement.)
  6. Is it just me or does this truck have the thinnest coat of clear coat ever

    well my gator paint from day one has been the easiest paint to scratch of any car I've owned. even worse than my moss green pearl coat YJ, which had the previous title, gator beats it by a mile. my impact orange LJ (which like all 2006s I've seen, didn't even cover the primer on the floors or...
  7. Windows not going down

    I just keep cranking the handle.
  8. Cheaper option to disable ESS

    Manual transmission, the even cheaper solution, don't shift Into neutral when you stop and you never have to worry about ESS.
  9. Is there a product to extend the hood all the way back?

    This is the first jeep I've owned where the paint seems to soft to tip it all the way back as it leaves a mark with just the weight of the hood. Why wouldn't you tip it all the way back? no fidgeting with hood props and your hoods outta the way. Besides it is a jeep thing as early cj's didn't...
  10. American Bantam Seeks to Bridge Gap Between UTV and SUV

    I believe Volkswagen owns the scout name and is planning something for the market. By the by, this Bantam has been vaporware for a couple of years, they've had a website for a couple of years but only computer renderings: https://usabantam.com/#1526368496921-26889b00-20fb How 'bout...
  11. Aux battery is still charging

    I thought the same, my ESS stopped working, took it to dealer, they diagnose the auxiliary as fine and the main as dead, change the main and its been fine. Question is can everything run off the auxiliary?
  12. What Jeep stereotypes are actually true?

    Jeep owners are just better than other people.
  13. What year was this made?

    '63 or '64 could be good, as 15648 is a sequential number starting at 10000 in '63, not sure how many j-200's got made that year. '65 would be a j-2000.
  14. Thoughts on ARB sliders?

    Just curious what do you think of structural strength if you didn't tie into the rocker panels and just frame mounted them?
  15. What are y'all running from your aux switches?

    Well you've crushed my dream, so there's that. (I still think it could work🤞)
  16. What are y'all running from your aux switches?

    Well you can deploy and retract the line without getting out of the cab, so there's that. But I think you need to hook up 2 switches, one to power the line in and one to power it out.
  17. should have named WILLY'S TRUCK instead of GLADIATOR, #sticker delete

    Have thought this at times as gladiator is designed based off a wrangler and the willys jeep truck was based on the CJ (to keep brand cohesion/capitalize on wartime jeep and make use of design with limited steel stamping depth.) The original gladiator had no such open jeep design origins. But I...
  18. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

    I dunno, your 3.73 gets your gas mileage up with stock tires highway MPGs you can avg. 21-24, city 15-18, best of any wrangler/open body jeep I've ever driven. The JT with 3.73s on paper has a lower crawl ratio (19.13) and reverse than even previous model Rubicons (4.46x4.11=18.33) discounting...
  19. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

    Isn't first considered in granny gear territory at 5.13, it's the deepest jeep has offered since T-98/T-18 optional 4 speeds (6.32, teamed up to the 72 horse power Fhead 134) and reverse gear (4.49) is only beat by this transmission as well. The 6 speed in the JK/TJ was first gear 4.46 and...
  20. Sooo...RCR did a review of the Gladiator.

    Not at all picking on your post or you, just wondering because you've followed him, does he have better videos than this one, I was ready to maybe laugh a little (no, I'm not angry with anything he said) but he just sounds tired, like he has to keep making content he doesn't really care about...
