Wr already knew this. But great news

Check your umbrella policy. Likely there is an exclusion for "reckless negligence" which includes driving the vehicle in an unauthorized manner. Which would include over loaded. So if you were over loaded and had an accident your primary insurance would cover their limits but your umbrella...

Which solid axle truck will you buy in 2 years? New? Midsized? I need something narrow enough to fit on trails and short enough to fit in a garage. An f450 won't meet my needs. Jeep has my business till they drop the solid front axle.

What is the weight of that tire/receiver?

Whatever Jeep has to do to keep offering a solid axle mid size truck I'm all for it. Think about it. Maybe 80% of Jeeps wrangler/gladiator sales are going to people that will NEVER off-road. Those 80% make it possible for us to get a capable truck. If any company can sell 4/5 products to...

I use Fackbook for a couple local recovery areas. I have gone out and pulled a few people. But for gladiator specific stuff I come here.

Vevor 12.5k winch same guts as the badlands. About 100 pulls so far on it. Only complaint is the wireless remote sometimes won't spool out only in while the wired remote works fine. Under $300 with syn line. I would likely buy it again for my use case. The line is really hard to clean...

If in neutral not moving just yank it. You can't break it. As all have said she gets looser over use the first few times you have to force it.

It's just a. -- make you smile truck. Enjoy.

Checked mine today. Wet /muddy but no rust. So water must be getting past the cap. Wondering if pulling the rock rails off. Rough up and bed coating would work. Little worried about fitting the rails back over the coating.

@NC_Overland covers it. So often the clutch won't fully engage or disengage without a little spin If you pull the power and try to hand spin the drum do you hear the gear movement? If yes not fully disengaged

To your point. I was in Ocala Saturday. An easy trail. It was a muddy day. I pulled a group of 3 trucks that were stuck in the sugar. 1 ford ranger big tires 2 wd. Should not have been on that section without 4 wd 2 rams. 1 had 22 inch rims and street tires so no hope in the sugar. The...

Took the son in law and grand kids out to ocala. Added some pin striping.

I know you don't wheel off road but do you rub at full lock to passenger side?

@STACHES in 1999 jeep sold 0 JLU but just 10 years later moving 100k a year. Solid axle option in a 4 door ate gc sales on the switch to ifs.

@KevinC it was great to meet up at beach week with you. I end up tossing the extra ticket so hoping you will use it next year. As someone that doesn't love big crowds you might enjoy the ranch events. Can be completely off on your own there unless you want to be around people.

I have never wheeled a ifs truck. But I have friends that do. Large tires is a non starter taco won't fit 37s without major 5 figure work. Jeeps are pricey to mod but big tires are cheap to do compared to an ifs rig.

The jeep beach isn't hard. But we had a lot of older tj get stuck in the mud. Traction control helps so much in the mud.

1999 GC sold just over 300k units. And stayed over 260 till the new ifs unit came in. 2005 sales were only 214k (this was peak economy) by 2008 it was under 80k. Last year it was still under 240k Ifs didn't help sales. If they like money. Keep the solid axle.

I spent a week at jeep beach helping people on obstacle courses The older stuff had to work fairly hard to run the same course as a newer rig. But is it just too easy today? We don't need to manage a clutch We don't need to manage wheel spin (throttle control really isn't what it had to...
