  1. 6sp MT Rubicon gearing

    I’m on 37’s with mopar 2” lift plus 3/4” pucks up front and clear into my 7’ garage ok. You may be able to get in with a 4” lift but don’t think 6” would work.
  2. That “tuck” though! - 37" BFG KO2 C with +25 mm Method Wheels - No Lift

    I don’t off-road really, other than retrieve downed game or muddy/snowy lease roads etc. So they were fine. They are for truck duty, I’d look at maybe air bags if more articulation needed for serious off-roading?
  3. Beware 3.6 Penstar

    I have exactly this truck for sale now. Dealers are trying to get at it but I'm not interested in selling to them yet. Got one with 79,000 kms (49,000 miles) with a brand new motor, manual transmission, 4.88's on 37's that I took awesome care of, dad mobile. But back in a half ton and moving on...
  4. Yet another goodbye

    the 6 seater is only option for half tons imo, versatility is max, almost minivan people hauling capabilities while still having a 4x4 with a box, half tons also wide enough to sleep across the front or back seat if you're a side sleeper, can't do that in mid-size or console truck, I'm back in...
  5. Beware 3.6 Penstar

    lets not derail this important thread, but fastest way to explain it is it's pretty as close to a 21st century gas powered 4bt cummins as you'll get, if you take the performance and economy of the 5.3 v8 and the 3.0 Duramax and split it right down the middle that's what you get with this 2.7...
  6. Beware 3.6 Penstar

    OP sounds bang on to me. My first pentastar in 2014 ram was pretty good, the oil filter housing blew some gaskets and dumped oil all over the place for a $1500 bill just off warranty but overall loved it, was great, didn't use oil, truck got wrote off at about 145,000 kms. The oil thing was...
  7. When you think Side Steps Keep You Ding Free

    I have mopar lift and overland side steps on mine with 37" tires and park in any spot I like and after 2 years and 5 months and 50,000 miles I haven't got a single one. My last truck (1500 ram) looked like it had been hailed on from the sides. So you need to be reasonable here...you should be...
  8. 3.6L Pentastar Problems?

    ya, I know, it is weird, I'd have power then all of a sudden lose cylinders, sound like an old lawnmower then all of a sudden all cylinders back and smooth with power...stay tuned, I use the oil I mentioned before, Pennzoil ultra platinum synthetic and thanks for that info, will get into the...
  9. 3.6L Pentastar Problems?

    Well guys, we are going to find out what happens to these early pentastars in the gladiator. Mine purchased late 2019 one of the early ones, sport s with manual, and was throwing those codes from get go. Well fast forward 2 years and 5 months and 78,000 kms of ownership it almost left us in the...
  10. Camping with your Gladiator

    queen bunk at back, alum frame riding on 1" steel pipe that can drop into grooves at different heights, we can push it up to roof to get out of way for cargo duty if needed, under it is a queen size futon which can also come out easy for cargo duty, middle has a shelving unit with a goal zero...
  11. Ugly or no?

    gladiators are pug ugly anyway, takes a minute to like them, will take a minute longer to like yours ;)
  12. First Tow with the Mojave - Report

    Down at sea level and not much for hills you'll tow alright with that manual up to 3500 lbs. I live at 4000' and tow up to 7000'...where I live my crank torque rating drops from the sad 260 ft/lbs to 230 ft/lbs, about 11.5% total (3% loss every 1000' elevation gain). So I tow 3000 lbs pretty...
  13. Anyone hacked off the 2 mufflers ?

    first highway trip I did after cutting things out drone was physically painful in your ears, unbearable, 2000-2400 rpm, ordered magna flow street series side exit, happy every since, drone will creep in moderately around 2000 and let you know when to shift but it's just a hum now, not actually...
  14. That “tuck” though! - 37" BFG KO2 C with +25 mm Method Wheels - No Lift

    too bad just Kenda makes them though, everyone needs to play ;)
  15. 6 Speed Manual Regrets?

    I found 3000 rpm is about the cut off point from the low pressure oil pump at 28 psi or whatever it is and then as you pull above 3000 rpm the 2nd stage kicks in and you see 77-78 psi from recollection. In case that's of interest to anyone, at first I thought it may be a bad thing to run at...
  16. Get creative challenge. Bye bye push to start button.

    treating piloting a few tons at speed through public with the care and attention required to pilot a grocery shopping cart is self-centered in case you missed it, we must have this freedom, if you can prove your capable for the task at hand since others safety is at stake, so if you can't or...
  17. 6 Speed Manual Regrets?

    all the time 4.88's, 37's, through the mountains, it's a good match, 4th gear handles 64 mph through 95% of the time around 2800-3000 rpm, 3rd gear for the steep hill climbs (usually the ones with passing lanes), drop to about 56-59 mph and 4000-4500 rpm through those climbs, and 5 th gear on...
  18. Get creative challenge. Bye bye push to start button.

    Americans aren't necessarily born in, or want to move to, an ant hill. I agree with sentiment of if you don't like driving and don't take it seriously then don't have a license and let someone else do it that does qualify. An ant hill will require/allow such measures. Main point is we should be...
  19. That “tuck” though! - 37" BFG KO2 C with +25 mm Method Wheels - No Lift

    nice find on that 255 85r17, put an 18 at the end it would be 35.1", yes please, would love to see that in the snowflake rated at's, at3w's, exo grappler, duratrac, ko2 etc. even better would be some 255 95r17 at 36.1" tall, some true 'highboy' class modern tire sizes, or maybe 255 90r18 for...
  20. Get creative challenge. Bye bye push to start button.

    as I'm partially responsible for this derail ;) the more dipsticks we give licenses to the more nannies we need, we have whole schools of blind leading the blind and passing out drivers licenses, the easier we make things the more nannies we will need, driving is a right not a...
