  1. My Jeep Was Spared From a Freight Train Disaster! (Caught on Video)

    Well, something unusual to add to your train spotting list!
  2. Gladiator Tent

    Not to hijack, but I'd like to see where/what you used to seal the bed. I have the Bak rollup which is pretty good, only a very minor drip during heavy rain, but very fine dust gets through when I am off road and I'd like to sela it up a bit better. your picture made me think it would be a...
  3. Anyone with over 100k miles on their 3.6 yet ?

    I have a first gen. 3.6 in a 2012 Charger and it is around 275k. It developed a worn lifter knock but I haven't replaced that yet. To do it right I would replace cam and lifters. Or let it fail and do a long block.
  4. Home theatre/stereo dilemma

    I've had a similar dilemma. My living room is wired for 4 speakers, sub, and center channel (independent from TV input). I am not too particular about movies, but I am about music. I have an older system, though. I spent time (and some money) in my latest TV/Amp upgrade to tune my system...
  5. Dunes Safety Flag/Whip mount points?

    Came up with this location. Drilled out the hole and painted it.
  6. Why I'm picking the Gladiator.

    The pentastar is a good engine. The cracked head issue was in the early year production back in 2011-2012. It was tracked to a manufacturing error as I recall. I have a 2012 Charger Pentastar A8 that is still rolling at 270k. Engine and tranny have been solid. These are the first HP...
  7. Anyone install Xtrusion overland rack?

    What rack height did you go with?
  8. Cant decide where to put ARB Dual compressor

    For me mud works its way from the bottom up. Your are spending too much time inverted! ;)
  9. Cant decide where to put ARB Dual compressor

    I did the engine bay mount for my single. But I also opened up my hood vents. No issues with heating, dirt, or water. The vents are angled for negative pressure so not much really gets down there.
  10. Am I crazy for thinking I want a Gladiator?

    I've got a Scat Pack widebody Challenger, A Charger GT blacktop, and a Gladiator Rubicon (also a 2004 Sebring convertible, another story). Toughest part of my day is deciding which one to take to work. Each has its own charms. I don't regret for a minute having any of those vehicles. I love...
  11. Test Drove a Gladiator today, five easy questions for you current owners.

    My '21 Rubi came off the truck with a drop-in bedliner. I was on the hunt for a while for an M6 and it was one of only two I could find in CA, AZ, OR and NV in August 2021. I had been shopping for a couple months, so when I found one in Las Vegas, I literally bought it within hours of delivery...
  12. Anyone install Xtrusion overland rack?

    Exactly what I am saving my bottles and cans for. I want to use with my BAK cover as well, and mount an RTT/recovery gear. Looks good with the offroad plates. I am glad to hear the customer service is good as well.
  13. How long did your windshield last before cracking?

    Until you made this post! 16k miles. Driving up to the bay area on the 5 in a rainstorm. Something hits the passenger-side window. Never saw it but it made a big bang. Maybe something kicked out by the two trucks in the right lane in front of me. Cracked the windshield at the bottom of the...
  14. Amazing Gladiator trips in 2022 from Florida to California and back! Love this Jeep...

    What amazing country! Thanks for sharing! I am nearing my final plans for bed rack, rtt, etc. Any advice on must-haves, would be nice, or not needed? Looks like the basics and some good planning. Edit: Lost Coast is a great brewery.
  15. If I cancel Sirius, what (besides music) will be affected?

    I let the music expire. Couldn't stand the low bit rate quality. I have the travel-link and coughed up for the Guardian. I get "free music" trials every once in a while and they just convince me that I don't want it. Sounds like talking through a soup can. Spotify premium and Qobuz are my...
  16. The Definitive Front Bumper Thread

    In case anyone has questions about the JTR and the Rugged Ridge Spartacus bumper. I was looking at it for almost six months, then in late October when I was traveling in Puerto Rico I checked it on Amazon and got it for $250.00. No Kidding. I thought maybe it was going on clearance or...
  17. Mojave Road, Thanksgiving 2022

    Trail Goals! Thanks for the inspiration!
  18. When, and Why, I used to wave…

    I get and give the wave when driving the JT. Seems like a good community thing. Although I have never seen a soccer mom or beta male in a Cherokee/Renegade/Compass do it. It does seem restricted to those with dirty Wranglers and Gladiators, and I see it more the further out of town I get. It...
  19. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Swapped out the plastic stock bumper for the Rugged Ridge/Tactik full size bumper and a winch. Dropped about 3/8" up front. I bought the Smittybilt with the steel cable and roller and replaced with synthetic line, and hawse fairlead. Cable and roller weighed a lot so glad I did it. Didn't...
  20. What’s connected to your AUX switches?

    1. ARB single compressor (needs 25A if I remember correctly) 2. Blank 3. Mopar 5" LED's (can't remember the amperage, but instructions say use the 15A line) 4. Warn interrupter switch for my Smittybilt Winch (5 amps)
