On my Wrangler, driving back home from the glass shop after getting my windshield replaced. Left home with a cracked windshield and got home with one. I quit after that. Now it's a badge of honor I have around 12 rock hits and cracks.
From Autopadre: An average and very popular 4 door sedan. You can look up what ever manufacturer you like from Ford, Buick, GM, Toyota, whatever they all have multiple 4 door sedans with comparable milage as this, there are many models.
On a full tank of fuel, the 2022 Honda Accord has a...
Most cars today can do anywhere from 400-500 miles depending on gas tank size and fuel economy. The infrastructure is set up so you can easily take a vehicle cross country without worry of running out of gas. This is a standard today, being able to go cross country. Electric vehicles cannot do...
Sure there is a finite supply, but we are talking at least 3 or 4 generations from now. There are still vast reserves of oil. The only reason were in high fuel prices now is because the current president forced it upon us. Two years ago we were completely oil independent and we can easily be...
Possible issues with drop in liners:
1: They crack and warp in extreme temps.
2: They cause a rub point due to vibration and eventually wear away the paint.
3. They trap moisture and cause rust, especially if you have paint worn away from #2
Not really, we all bring 5 gal of extra gas to get us to the next fill up which is much closer than an electric fill up. Will your electric Gladiator have a spare charge the size and weight of a full 5 gallon "jerry" can that can get you to a full charge? We all know the answer is no to that.
I don't get the terse negatives that people give here when someone is sharing their experience with a Jeep. Try to put yourself in their shoes instead of being a Jeep Fanboy and dismissing their experience just because you haven't had it. Yes we all know that other brands experience the same...
Can't remember if this is the same manufacture that did the Kaiser front end kit for the Wrangler, but when I did contact them they said the Wrangler kit would not fit the Gladiator. I believe they are working on a Gladiator version though. I'm sure if and when it's available they would...
At least they don't drill two holes in your vehicle now like they used to in the old days for chrome metal dealer badges. You would then need body work to fix the holes, plus they were always a rust point.
I just added that because it's a NASA specification and they know a thing or two about vibration, 😁. Plus it gives a good visual step process. I figure if it's good enough to go to space it is probably good enough for a Gladiator.
And to add more fuel to the fire 🤣 on the right way to splice a wire let's look at NASA's spec for solid core wire anyway:
Some commenters on my post about using a washer as a soldering aid noticed my sloppy splicing technique and were kind enough to educate me about the so-called “Western...
Well that would have given them the perfect opportunity to use the Kaiser 715 Front End which was already done on the concept. That probably would have given them the needed space for the cooling system.
