This doesn't make any sense. Front tires can have a differential speed in an open differential setup, which is what gladiators have unless it is a Rubicon with the front differential actively locked (which have a very limited application). That's literally how the vehicle turns sharply without...

Yeah I think it might be time for me to head over the county line to another dealer.

It's been 4 months now and I think my dealership still has not done a single HPFP recall. Every time I call they say they are waiting on parts. Anyone else seeing this at their local? I'm starting to wonder if some dealerships are just trying to avoid doing this work.

Declaring yourself a tax cheat on a public internet forum doesn't seem like the brightest idea to me.

There’s a kind way and a rude way to suggest a particular reference amongst a plethora of available resources, not sure why you felt the need to choose the latter today.

Wiggling back and forth first. The pause in action in the video is me trying to move the drag link side to side.

Death Wobbler reporting in. Here's my situation, need some advice: Has happened a few times, worst when I was lightly towing with some sandbags near the tailgate. Hit joint while straight-ish or in right hand curve each time at 70+ mph, had to slow down to 35 mph each time to get the steering...

The Bridgestone Duelers that come on the Sport are an all-season tire with a tiny bit of tight zig-zag added to the shallow middle treads. They are fine as an all-season. But calling them an "all-terrain" is shameful mislabeling on Bridgestone's part, and they are not rated for snow with the 3PMSF.

Top Tier diesel has a higher lubricity standard (as measured by allowable wear scar) than the lax federal ULSD regulations. More in line with Euro diesel standards, IIRC. Basically protects the (garbage, yet to be replaced) HPFP without the need to add additive. There is one Costco that is...

Went with these dedicated winters as the solution: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/gt-radial-icepros.74378/#post-1240244

I can't find an off the shelf solution for a Jeep but I know these exist in other applications. What I did find with 3 minutes of searching is a Yukon Gear LSD you can swap into your Rubicon for $600 and a lot of elbow grease. https://www.yukongear.com/shop/yc-dm220-32-tl They make one for the...

That's a bummer, because it's technically feasible to have both a LSD and a mechanical locker in the same differential.

Yes. 1. Transfer case - an electronically controlled clutch pack that varies slip/lock up, vs an old-school on-off mechnically locking transfer case. 2. CV axles in the front. See my previous post. 3. Comes with a limited slip rear differential (as do all diesels, max tows, and available as on...

I had to choose between a diesel, a manual, or AWD (selec-trac). I chose the diesel but I want all 3 on the same vehicle gosh darn it!

It's a bit more than standard part-time 4wd binding, which as others have noted is caused by locking the front to the rear which have a speed differential in the turn. No, Jeep has also blessed this vehicle with cheap old U-joints in the front driveshafts, which additionally adds crow hop when...

I've had a chance now to drive these through just about every kind of winter condition. Overall verdict: a bit better than brand new Wildpeak A/Ts in all conditions, but not a top tier snow tire. Of course much better than worn A/Ts. Deep dry snow: great Packed snow: great Slush: okay (I think...

Okay so I ended up buying the GT Radial IcePro SUV3 and would like to share what I believe is valuable information with other folks looking for snow tires. For starters, searching for snow tires in this truck is tough because the stock tire sizes basically lead you straight to Load Range E snow...

Years ago I did the same thing to the center blocks of a set of BFG KM2s, but they never dry rotted afterwards. It's a fair amount of labor but I do agree its a big improvement for mud terrains in snow and helps on wet pavement too. The A/T3WS already have a ton of sipes though, not sure you can...

While I know this seems like a "no shit sherlock" observation I'm making, these tires don't LOOK worn down at all, and ~10/32nds tread depth is what a lot other tires start at. I have a set of stock sport rims and tires I'd been planning to convert to a dedicated winter setup as soon as I got...
