  1. EgulAye's mild hunting build (is it an overland build?)

    4/14/24 | 62,835 Today was the oil filter housing replacement. I also changed the oil while I was at it. All told the job took us about six hours. There was a fair bit of time spent getting tools out and picking everything up, plus a bit extra to remove the upper manifold after I'd torqued it...

    4/7/2024 | 62,256 I installed rain gutters today, replaced the wipers, and applied RainX to all the exterior glass. Picture malfunction w/ the cell phone, so I re-took some after photos today on the 10th I used the rain gutter part by JVMA, but I didn't realize when purchasing that the gutter...

    4/6/2024 | n/a I picked up a Dorman oil filter housing replacement kit today. 926-959 Upgraded Aluminum Engine Oil Filter Housing with Oil Cooler and Filter ( Dorman ) ( Advance Auto ). I got mine at Advance Auto because they had the kit on hand and were offering a $50 discount for online...

  4. Post Your Jeep "Fleet" Pics!

    2020 Gladiator Rubicon, 1987 Wrangler w/ a 4 cyl diesel "Magoo", 1980 CJ5 w/ a 232ci, and the '01 Harley Dyna Super Glide - just for fun. They're are a couple of plastic Barbie Jeeps out back too, but I don't have photos of those.

    Nice Jeep!

  7. EgulAye's mild hunting build (is it an overland build?)

    3/17/2024 | 61,369 Bed power / Air compressor cord. I decided to keep the #10 AWG cord into the compressor. It's relatively short and larger than what came on it originally. Now there is a new Anderson SB50 connector on it. For these I crimped and then soldered the terminals. Small heat shrink...

  9. EgulAye's mild hunting build (is it an overland build?)

    3/17/2024 | 61,369 Yesterday I ran the new six gauge wire to the bed. It took a while to route the wires in a way that should avoid getting pinched or otherwise damaged. I ran two conductors, one with red insulation, the other with black. I put them together in a split wire cover to help...

  10. EgulAye's mild hunting build (is it an overland build?)

    3/16/2024 | 61,296 The jeep is almost four years old, and has over 60,000 miles. It turns out there is a cabin air filter, which has never been replaced. It was super ready to swap out, the old one was quite dirty. I went to Filterheads.com, ordered part number AQ1286, I bought three of them...

    2024/02/27 | n/a I wish I could mix and match from both the Rubicon and the Mojave. I want the Mojave suspension, reinforcements, iron knuckles, and shocks. I want the Rubicon front locker and low range transfer case. The high clearance fenders, the 4.10 axle ratio, etc too. I bought a Rubicon...

    2024/02/26 | n/a This isn't a mod to the Jeep, but a tool that I plan to carry around with me. I sometimes head out on long trips and I'd like to be sure I've got my bases covered with road trip tools; stuff I might need - this is one of them... This is a jump pack that uses my cordless...

  13. EgulAye's mild hunting build (is it an overland build?)

    2024/02/22 | 60,354 I ordered some Trim-Lok Rubber Tubing Seal via Amazon. I'm looking forward to installing this along the fenders just like JL Journal explains in this YouTube video. Small pebbles get stuck in there, as do maple tree seeds "helicopters", pine needles, and ice & snow...

    Your Jeep looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing the "lessons learned" part of each mod. That's usually the most helpful part :)

    1/7/24 | 58,419 The new Nitto tires go very well in snow, according to my personal experience today. Also, the RokBlokz mud flaps did a great job keeping all the snow, ice, and sand off the paint and sides of the Jeep.

  16. EgulAye's mild hunting build (is it an overland build?)

    1/5/24 | 58,388 I'm planning to replace the wiring that I previously installed for bed power. Though it had been working well in most regards I did have an issue the last time I used it. I have a larger sized portable air compressor for airing up. It is a Smittybilt 2781, which lists a max draw...

    12/9/23 | 57,132 Oil change time; 5 quarts of NAPA full synthetic 0W-20 pn:75541, NAPA Gold filter 100010, a 15/16" socket for the filter cap, and a 13mm socket for the drain plug. The old filter and oil are pretty dark; I'm thinking in the future I should replace sooner than the computer's oil...

  18. EgulAye's mild hunting build (is it an overland build?)

    11/27/23 | 56,512 I got the new Nitto Ridge Grapplers installed today. These are in 35x11.5R17LT size. It was easy to program the new tire size with the Tazer mini (wheel diameter 34.77). The spare tire fits underneath without modification. There's less road noise than the factory tires (which...

  19. EgulAye's mild hunting build (is it an overland build?)

    8/27/23 | 53,280 I made a small repair this weekend. The two visors broke where they attach to the roof: I found a repair kit on Amazon for it (via a Facebook chat group ). It was less than $15, so also an inexpensive fix. This was super easy to install and seems to work perfectly...

    7/8/23 | 50,408 Today marks three years that I've had the Gladiator. That is all, thank you!
