  1. Alignment and Balancing Oversized Tires

    I went to get an alignment and hit a hard stop. The tire service center said they couldn't do it due my tires (37x12.50R20) being too large to fit in their equipment. Got me thinking to when I'll eventually be getting new tires and needing a service shop that has the ability to balance them. The...

  4. Does this look bad? 35s vs 37s

    Keeping in mind that it is your Gladiator and what anyone says ultimately means diddly squat as long as you are happy. My thoughts: - Does it look bad? Not at all. - Regearing? I went up to 37's and am super happy I did. If you go with 37's you are on the verge of "needing" to regear. Some...
  5. 5k mile oil changes in spite of oil life indicator still showing plenty left

    At every 5k I do an oil and filter change along with a tire rotation on an alternating "front-back" or "X"
  6. 2 Engines, each with 500k miles. Difference? The oil: one synthetic, one conventional

    Ever since laying hands on my Gladiator I have changed my own oil and have always used AMSOil 0W20 because I believe it to be the best of the synthetics for the longevity of my engine. Is it? That's debatable. Is synthetic better than conventional oil? There are a gazillion opinions out there...
  7. What's your take on aftermarket aluminum oil filter caps

    I'd say stay away. It isn't oil filter cap that causes the $1500k+ issue when gorillas crank down it wayyyyyyyyy past the 18 ft/lbs torque spec... it's the plastic housing the oil filter cap screws into that cracks. Stay within specs, there shouldn't be an issue.
  8. I got a gladiator and can’t stop taking photos

    What?!?!?!? I'm the first meme??? If it hasn't happened yet, you'll soon come to the realization of how true the meme actually is. :) Congrats on your Gladiator.
  9. It's about that time to switch doors.

    It's kind of crazy to realize that the north half of the country is coming to an end of the "warm" season and starting to cover up, while the south half is in an opposite cycle.
  10. It's about that time to switch doors.

    With average temps dropping. The time is coming to put away the "warm" weather setup and go to the "cold" weather one. I like having the openness of air and am delaying as long as possible. Anyone else about to make that same decision? (pics of your setup would be nice)
  11. Cell phone mount

    Another thumbs-up for Bulletpoint from me. Super solid mount; I use it to hold my mic and radio (via the cellphone attachment).

    Same here.
  13. Reimbursement for clutch recall?

    I had the Centerforce clutch installed in mine. Light years difference from the stock clutch.
  14. Reimbursement for clutch recall?

    This is a copy and paste from my post in the thread "Manual Transmission Recall 19A: All Model Years Available" - go check there for everyone else's replies. My post: When my clutch was beginning to slip I was left with the choice to wait and take the chance of my vehicle catching on fire for...
  15. Looking for new 37" tires.

    Nitto Trail Grapplers are what I have now. High ratings. I'm happy with them. I'm considering Cooper Discovery STT Pros the next time around. They seem to have an even higher rating.
  16. Manual Transmission Recall 19A: All Model Years Available

    When my clutch was beginning to slip I was left with the choice to wait and take the chance of my vehicle catching on fire for a known issue in what amounted to years of "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available" before 19A had a real fix... OR being proactive and putting in a new clutch on...
  17. Love Centerforce now. The new clutch is working great. Please Help. 2.5 weeks without my JT---F#$%ing Centerforce!

    Mine has done the same thing as greg.appel. Multiple bleeds, same results... no change. Adding a couple of my observations a) engagement point is about 1/4" off the floor, b) the times that 1st or reverse is in gear and sticks, I have to roll a bit before it will disengage without effort, c)...
  18. Jeep going in monday for Recall 19A clutch replacement

    Good luck with yours. Here's the relevant emails from my exchange when I got my notice.
  19. Fall/Winter vs Spring/Summer

    Completely doorless on my Wrangler looks great... on my Gladiator? Not so much. Never had tube doors before. Went the cheapest route possible "just to see". Liking it so far.
