  1. Help me decide - big tent problems from winter 'storage'

    Grab an ozone generator on amazon, a decent one can be had for $60 and you'll be amazed at how often you use it. It destroys organic particles like mold and is safe as long as you're not breathing it in while the generator is running and you've let it air out after running it. It kicks out ozone...
  2. Our Willys build.

    MPGs were about the same as stock but admittedly I was getting after it quite a bit more so I suspect MPGs would improve if driving habits remained the same. The moment you floor it though and hear all that audible goodness coming from a kooky Jeep pickup though... You won't be able to stay out...
  3. Precut PPF for Pillars and Hood

    I was on the fence between north tints and invisible mask recently (both offered Avery and 3M). I'm pretty OCD and mistakenly assumed this was something that as long as I took my time, the results would be great. That plus the folks I took a previous car made it look very easy. The issue was it...
  4. Our Willys build.

    I didn’t order via dimensions, they have a dedicated Gladiator product page with their own specific dimensions. As posted though, if I had to do it again I would just order a sub 1k/cheaper slide. Install sucked with mine, lots of new holes had to be drilled etc. End result was great but they...
  5. am I doing something wrong in snow/ice Winter driving?

    Not weight on the tailgate, weight over the rear axle. Lowes/HD sells 40lb bags of sand in 3’ tubes that stay in place over the axle in the bed. I ran 160lbs over the axle and they double as instant ice traction media if you (or someone else) needs it. Toyo makes a cheap 33” snow and ice tire...
  6. Vs. 2024 ZR2... (Edit- Test Driven, opinions inside)

    It would be interesting to get your feedback post test-drive. I ended up parting with my EcoD Glady and spent a few weeks visiting a few Canyon and Colorado examples. This was a few months ago before any inventory was easily accessible. Their stunning looks drew me in, they both nailed it from...
  7. Tires are ugly brown!

    Same thing happens across other brands, some are more pronounced. Tires excrete protective antiozonant. I had no idea until 2 years ago after getting a fresh set of pilot sports on a vehicle. I drove myself absolutely batty trying to get this off and just when I thought it was done it would...
  8. ECU/PCM clone process & pricing

    @ParatusExpeditions I agree on much of this but I haven't experienced any of what you describe with GDE or EOC. Both seemed to love discussing the technical aspects of the tunes they provide and they both answered a near endless amount of questions I had. This spanned a whopping 2 years of Q&A...
  9. Not impressed with Gladiator performance in snow

    We ran dedicated snows and 300lbs of tube sand in the bed, which helped a ton. That said I'd typically take my wife's snow equipped CX-9 if both were sitting around. I didn't have select-trac though.
  10. Advice Needed….. Frame Paint color……….

    Have you tried Por15? Eastwood's encapsulator is gimmicky, not surprised you've swore it off. Any pics of actual Por15 cracking? I've never heard of this and I've been using it for nearly 20 years. It's a converter. I've heard plenty of complaints about encapsulator though.
  11. Advice Needed….. Frame Paint color……….

    If it’s down to metal anyhow I’d go Por15 and forget about it forever. Matches, bulletproof and you’ll have less areas to babysit for rust.
  12. considering a gladiator, but got some requirements

    I had a skycamp RTT on a full rack while my brother has a half rack with the mini. We outgrew the large skycamp (fitting 4 and we pack light, kids are 8 & 6). My brothers was good for he and his dog or wife but not all 3. With a half rack the bed becomes hard to access. Heck it can be annoying...
  13. Solar trickle charger

    Cascadia 85w hood panel on ours with the auto-trickle (and 12v out) controller they include in the system. Had it (still on the truck) for nearly 2 years and never once had an issue with it. In our case when not trickle charging the truck battery it was constantly charging our EcoFlow delta...
  14. Interesting Doodad - Chassis Flushing

    A nice alternative is to pick up a 360 wand, the same used by folks treating frames and body panels with undercoat. First time I saw one in use I grabbed one on prime. It was only $30 or so. They also have a rolling spray head with a array of nozzles that all shoot directly upward so you can...
  15. Showing off the new Mopar lift with Bilstein shocks

    Resi run seems excessively long with an odd placement. I’d loop them and tuck them higher up and closer to the shock. Plenty of shock affixed resi mounts exist to do just that. For sure that hose would get yanked off on even a mild yet unmanaged/brushy/deadfall trail. If you don’t move it, try...
  16. Sold my Gladiator today

    Good luck man! Looking to do something similar down the line, maybe a year or so out. Love the rams, had a classic and loved the simplicity and instant torque of the 5.7. Such a timeless design too, sharp trucks.
  17. ECU/PCM clone process & pricing

    Nada, I ended up selling the truck. The secondary PCM stays put without anything though, I believe the hood liner prevents it from bouncing or sliding without suffocating it. I popped the hood a few times to put my hands on both PCMs when warmed up to see if the tuned one lying on top was ever...
  18. Forum sponsors, and misleading sales.

    Does Q still sell stuff? I thought they just ship quarterly catalogs meant to remind folks to circle back with Northridge. Forum has to turn a profit for sure though and you'd be surprised by how quickly fees run up on an resource intensive legacy stack based forum. Hah, ironic that I get a...
  19. To diesel or to 24

    Get your order in if you can. I sold my EcoD weeks ago and I still have folks following up at full asking price to see if the seller backed out. Or as @iree75 mentioned, grab a higher mile 3.6 Rubi for mid 30's (vast quantities exist on the market) and send it straight out for he hemi swap and...
