Data point: I have the 285/75/17 KO2s on my Sport S stock rims and they measure exactly 33.5." I have zero issues with rubbing but I have the slightly wider axles that come on the Max Tow. No lift front or rear, suspension is bone stock at this point.

Wow, 1550jrit, that is cutting it close! So there have been some developments. I called the service manager at the dealership I took the GL to, asking for a refund of my "diagnostic fee," given that I hadn't really gotten a diagnosis or any real options. He contacted Stellantis, which agreed...

If that's not an angry grille, it's at least a bit irritated...

Interesting to hear a few others have had similar experiences! My 2020 was built 8/19, and it truly is an open differential, not a LSD. Over the phone, the off-road shop guy did say he thought it was likely the pinion bearing. Depending on how far he has to get into things, I am considering...

So I have a 2020 Max Tow with just over 80K miles. Of those miles, most are highway, perhaps 7.5K of them towing trailers ranging up to 3600 lbs. I had the diff gear oil changed by a dealer at 40K, and after seeing the price, changed them myself last week at a bit over 80K. There were stamped...

I'm running 285/75/17 BF Goodrich All-Terrains on stock rims on my 2020 Max Tow, roughly 34" tires. No lift or leveling kit. I bought it used from a Suburu dealer who had just installed them. He opined that this was the largest size that could go onto that Jeep in stock trim. When I...

An old school way. I write on a piece of tape stuck to the wrench case how far each wrench is off at a particular torque range I use often (the deviation isn't particularly linear over the range of the wrenches I have), and then set the clicker wrench low or high to account for its measured...

For a poor man's calibration, I've turned recently to fairly inexpensive digital torque adapters from Amazon. I think I have six clicker type torque wrenches lying around at this point, in 3 different ranges. The couple that felt "off" tested off on the torque adapters. The torque adapters...

Impressive. I was a bit skeptical, but AI seems to be right. See this thread if interested: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/gladiator-tailgate-can-support-up-to-500-lbs-payload-in-middle-position.16495/#post-310298 I'm not sure the two wheels count as a "distributed load,"...

I'd be just as worried about overloading the tailgate, as it looks like both rear wheels are fully on the tailgate from your picture. What's the max load on the tailgate when fully folded down? Most of the specs I've seen are for the tailgate in the mid position, at like 300#.

May not look like much of a load, but put a restless horse in it and you'll know it is behind you!

Thanks! I had some other tools around (thought about using a Dremel), but doing it slow and by hand made more sense to me.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for!

I think it was a company called "Sequential" or similar. They were buying them back for $30 with shipping paid for the purpose of modifying the housings to resell their product. Or maybe I just dreamed it...

So just a follow up since I finally got around to this. Tested power to the brake light strip and it was good. I used a soldering iron to heat the bedliner filling in the 8 Torx screws holding the large tailgate panel in place. Then I tapped a Torx bit into each screw, backed each out part...

Hi, sorry to start a new thread on this, but wasn't there a thread advertising to buy back failed 3rd brake light strips that was posted within the last week or two? I've tried all sorts of tricks to try to find it again without success. Help anyone?

No, unfortunately, the liner was installed sometime prior to my purchasing the truck used some 3 years ago. I did go ahead and order new hardware. Those bolts are spendy!

That's really clever! I wonder if anyone has tried this...

Thanks, good suggestion! I just have to figure out how to activate the brake pedal while I'm back fiddling with the multimeter. A piece of concrete block works on my YJ, but I think I'll have to get more creative when it comes to the Gladiator...

Yeah, I doubt seriously it is the factory bedliner. It is not listed on the window sticker. I'm the second owner of the truck, so either the dealer or the first owner probably had it sprayed in.
