  1. Has anyone tapped into the camera input for the 7" Uconnect?

    No. I ended up not bothering with it. The front camera is kinda "cheating" anyway. A part of the skill is looking and scoping out your path and doing the best you can from the driver's seat. In my reearch there was some power specific to the camera and then the rear camera provide a...
  2. Air Jack lifting on the axels?

    Question if any of you have/are using any kind of air bag lifting jack? If you have, do you lift on the axel and the bags stay put? Any good or bad experience on the Jeep using these? I have mud terrain tires that I like to rotate with the spare. So, I'm changing and rotating them a lot to...
  3. A case and use for a simple 2"-2.5" lift?

    Well, The leveler are just fine. Rig looks great. Adapted new bumper to include both winch and tow adapters (had to cut and weld some pieces back together). Tows great behind the motorhome with a DIY shield/net that has kept all rocks completely off. Gone on nice trails in NM, MT, and CO...
  4. Rear fender paint protection

    I know about the various vinyl protectors for the rear fender, but wondering if anyone has come across anything better? I'm spending this summer on dirt and gravel roads high in the Rockies, and plenty of rockies hitting the rear fender factory installed protect film. I have Rok Blokz wheel...
  5. No rear brakes?

    The e-brake still hold the position on a slope with transfer in neutral. Doesn't explain the huge difference in pad wear. Perhaps Jeep are different, but typically brake pads ride on the disc with no pressure and do not sit off the disc by an 1/4"+ with a visible gap. That is also what...
  6. No rear brakes?

    Just noticed recently that when I park and set the e-brake, that the vehicle can sometimes still have a little movement. Didn't use to do that. I checked the front brakes, and they seem a little worn for only 6k miles. Checked the rear brake and the pads look new and are also not even...
  7. What fuses to tap for dash cam with parking mode?

    Yes, that is the USB power in the center console and dash that is always on. I have the Garmin 66W.
  8. Joined the Gladiator cracked window club

    Checking back in. How has the glass held up over a longer time? It is one thing to replace an inexpensive windshield once a year or so, but if the Gorilla is still be replaced every two years or so, you end up in the same place for the same cost.
  9. What fuses to tap for dash cam with parking mode?

    I've found that F102 (Dual USB) is constant power and has plenty of room for an adapter.
  10. USB ports not getting power

    After they fixed it, what did they say was the problem and solution?
  11. AMP Powerstep AND... rock sliders or rails or protection?

    I think that Ethan had the right idea. I got distracted with another project and am now down south in New Mexico for the winter (live in Montana). When I get back home I may do something, but for now, I've taken it easy on the trails and not tried anything too extreme. The sand dunes of Pismo...
  12. Getting wires through grommet in firewall, any pointers?

    I'll be honest, I like to do things the right way, but when that way is waaaayyy too difficult, I will find another way. I wanted to go through the passenger side fw, but perhaps it is my diesel config that makes that next to impossible. So, I went a different route: 1) remove little panel...
  13. Wash or vacuum the interior?

    Me too...except puking kids...grandkids perhaps. I was waiting 3 months on seat covers and finally gave up. I do want covers, but will try to reorded when they have the ones I want back in stock. Scotchguard for now. Sounds like you really want leather seats. We always had those in every...
  14. Wash or vacuum the interior?

    There are different ways to approach longevity and use. Fine for those that do it instantly. No problem. As a parallel, for the bedliner (off topic), I decided to wait a while before investing in a spray-in liner. When they put in the liner, they sand down and scuff up the entire painted...
  15. Wash or vacuum the interior?

    Armorlite looks like a solid product, but for $600+ I'll wait for my carpet to be trashed before investing. The new carpet should last a little while anyhow. I'm not jumping in with muddy boots...yet. Only doing easy trails and not trying to push this to the limits and soak in mud.
  16. Mopar Grab Handles No Longer Fit

    Well, they do and they don't. I was frustrated in custom ordering my Gladiator and including these with the vehicle, but the dealer/factory didn't install them. They just threw them under the rear seat figuring I wouldn't notice until later...which is what happened. I really want these...
  17. Mopar Grab Handles No Longer Fit

    I'm going to take off the soft top frame and grind out a little notch where the handle strap should go. The notch only needs to be deep enough for the thickness of the strap.
  18. Wash or vacuum the interior?

    I know you "can" get the inside as wet as you want to, but do you? I do understand what water can do to metal, electrical, trapped in areas over time, etc.... What I don't know is really how well the new Gladiator interior is truly designed for water. I have fabric seats....covers are still...
  19. AMP Powerstep AND... rock sliders or rails or protection?

    That's an Idea I will look into. Thanks. Trying to look online for anything like frame sliders....something other than sliding on rocks right on the frame. That might also provide a little added protection. Trying to avoid spending a lot and adding a lot of weight with protecting the whole...
  20. AMP Powerstep AND... rock sliders or rails or protection?

    I didn't get the XL. Got this: AMP Research 75135-01A I know that it says the XL has a rock rail, but it really just appears to have a cover for the same step and the step is still exposed on the bottom. I thought it also said that the step extends a little lower, which could have created...
