I live in Houston, and my warranty issue had to do with the pulls breaking. I treat it once a quarter and it keep the vinyl looking really good. Not quite sure what the difference in temp would be from Houston to where you live.
I've had the Bak 4Xs roll up going on 3 years and it's been a great cover. So much so, my son bought one for his Ram 1500. I like that when I roll it up, it doesn't block my rearview nor take up a ton of bed space. The other thing I like is how they took care of me on a warranty issue.
I did the Teraflex 1.5" leveling kit and about 6 months later replaced my shocks with a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks. Definitely rides firmer, but it also drives better.
It seems the only thing they would protect you from are door dings. I have a really bad one on my passenger side that would have been prevented. My only thing is that I agree that they are not very attractive.
So, I got further clarification of how they came up with their numbers. In order to fully drain the transmission and put in new fluid, they have to drop the pan. Since the pan is single use only per the advisor, I have to replace the pan. Hence the numbers they came up with.
It's my daily driver and I don't tow. No issues, just came up as a regular service that they wanted to prepare me for within the next 2 oil changes. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting scammed by the dealer.
They were talking about the drain and service. But they're saying I need to have it flushed to do the drain and service. Dealer says $1200 and a Jeep Mechanic that I trust says $700.
I have a '21 Willys with 45k miles on it and I'm being told I need to have my auto transmission flushed and have the fluids replaced. Of course it has to be done very soon, lol. Has anyone done a transmission flush on their gladiator or am I being duped into needing service I don't need?
So I was really weight conscious and decided to go a little old school. Went with Quadratec Baja wheels. They come in three different colors. I went with gun metal grey because I thought it would look good with the snazzleberry. I checked a lot of wheels out and with going to 35's, I didn't...
I sent a message to the Discount Tire Rep that is in the Forum and he worked with my local store. You might want to check with him to see if you can get some kind of discount.
Running Toyo AT3's 35*11.5/17's with just a leveling kit and have not experienced any rubbing. My wheels are a -6 offset. If you stay with the stock wheels, Mickey Thompson makes the Baja Boss in (255/85R17) 35*10/17, if you do you're afraid of the poke.
I have the BAK 4Xs and have been extremely pleased. Even had a warranty issue and they sent a new one out within a week. My son liked it so much that he got one for his RAM. What I like about it the most, is that when I roll it up, it does not block my view out of the rear window. I know nothing...
