So I installed this the other day and a couple notes so far: Putting the rubber strip along the base of the part that goes against the C pillar, I think, causes more "rattle" than there might otherwise be. At some point, I'm going to take it off A 2.5lb extinguisher needs the top hose clamp...

Nope, you're still too close to civilization

Yeah, we're going to take it and not panic-sweat over the issue. Just a bit of "did the Jeep catch fire today?" checking on it. :CWL:

Next week's gonna be fun... Both my Gladiator and the wifes' Wrangler are affected by the recall and we've got a trip from Detroit, MI all the way down to Chattanooga, TN... I really, really hope we don't get woken up one night or called one day because my Gladiator is currently lighting up the...

I've got a mounting bracket designed to be attached using steel hose clamps and in the interest of both keeping everything from "moving" and reducing scratches and rattling, I want to put some rubber self-stick weather stripping to the hose clamps. This would be both to the clamp going around...

Most all of the gear we put in the bed, we keep low enough that the soft cover only barely (if at all) has to "stretch" to close over it. I figure if we switch to a hard cover (not a tri-fold, I do NOT like my view out the back being blocked,) we'll have to be a bit more "judicious" in what...

Well, I mean, *technically* our camper DOES have a kitchen sink, so you're not wrong! 🤣 But, you're also completely correct, we realize and keep trying to pare back all the "stuff" we take with us camping, and a lot of it is of the "if we don't bring it, we'll need it, but we bring it, and we...

Right now, I've got a soft-tonneau cover that just clamps onto the sides of the bed, and it's fine for its' purpose. But occasionally, I put some rather expensive stuff in the bed and sometimes, it's in there overnight so I've been wanting a "hard" roll up tonneau cover (ex: BAK Revolver) for...

/The Monkees begin singing "I'm a believer" 🐵 The weather finally turned for the better, so I felt it was time to give the hoist a try. The wife was at work, so I had to do this solo. Ran into a couple niggles, nothing that turned into a show stopper. For example, my driveway is enough of a...

That Jeep Gladiator looks like it’s having a bit of an identity crisis. First off, naming your rig "BARONESS" in bright red font while rocking a massive G.I. Joe Cobra emblem on the hood is bold. Cobra was known for high-tech, ruthless efficiency, but this setup says less "global domination"...

@loganjeeps if you've got 4ft of extra length in the garage, I'd say you're golden, even if the hoist won't fit between the front tires (which I think it will) The overall length isn't much more than the length of the hardtop.

Well, they do show doing that on their site, but I won't be able to, my garage is JUST deep enough to squeeze my Gladiator in without putting the bumper up against the wall. So the wife and I have already decided, at least for the summer, only parking one of our Jeeps in the garage, mine if the...

So my garage has a kinda weird ceiling, the end with the door is lower than the end at the house. Which is part of the reason I opted against getting a ceiling hoist. BUT with the garage door open, I can't entirely unfold the EZ4x4 lift, I have to roll it out into the driveway (ran into this...

I quite literally finished assembling mine today. I did manage a few "oops" during the assembly (used the wrong length bolts to hold the base together, longer than the correct ones) so I had a bit of "partial disassembly" to swap the bolts out. Overall, while I've not lifted my top off yet...

Was I a bad person in a previous life, to rate such karma? So dropped the Jeep off Monday morning with no appointment, same service advisor. He told me this time, they weren't going to mess around trying to "fix" the connection, it was getting replaced. Later on Monday, get a call, "because...

So the initial work they did (and I've got the work order in my hand) is "road test veh, inspect tr intake cam, replace rt intake cam & rocker arms," the camshaft sensor code was thrown the day I picked it up from that work, and was determined to be "loose and poor pin tension." Honestly, I'll...

And now... The rest of the story (well, until Monday, at least) Dropped the truck off last Friday, as at that time, it was a "diagnostic" check, they couldn't give a loaner. Monday: get word from the dealership, "sorry, the tech has been backed up, couldn't get to it yet, tomorrow though, for...

Noticed a couple weeks ago a "ticking" sound under acceleration and sitting at idle, today when I got the Jeep back from the corrosion repairs, scheduled a diagnostic visit with the dealership (still under the powertrain warranty,) to check if this is "normal," "warranty work," or "not under...

So today, I did... NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! Because it's at the dealer to get the corrosion problem dealt with.

So the tire pressure one should run at depends on the terrain and the wheels / tires, running on dirt roads you'd have a higher pressure than if you're rock crawling or cruising sandy trails. Well, this summer we're probably taking my truck with the wheel / tire combo above to Silver Lake Dunes...
