  1. Tailgate hinge lock plate?

    I found the bracket online. Mine has a large indention, but no threads. I'll take an icepick and see whether there are indeed threads further back that can be cleared out. If so, great, if not I'll remove the tail light to make sure I don't get into any wiring and drill and tap a hole or...
  2. Locking Tailgate Extender?

    That's awesome. Mine doesn't have it but I think I just found one on ebay, and just ordered it. Huge piece of mind when I have to leave the tailgate down.
  3. Tailgate hinge lock plate?

    Just looked at mine, no security bracket like yours. That is a heck of a lot better than the cheesy tailgate locks that several vendors sell. Looked online and haven't seen that bracket to try to buy one. Will check with my dealer. Thanks!!
  4. Locking Tailgate Extender?

    The cable The cable is a great idea. I have a Black Widow arm supports from a Ford pickup I used to have that would lock into the bed latches. May be able to fab some rods that slide through holes in the bed extender as well. I'll probably need to go with a bed extender that is more squared...
  5. Locking Tailgate Extender?

    Looking for a tailgate extender while I'm hauling motorcycles. Big downside to leaving tailgate down on all of my trucks is the ease of stealing a tailgate - takes less than 15 seconds. Anyone aware of a tailgate extender that when flipped out latches into the tailgate latches? Would...

  7. Gas Mileage?

    15.7 combined average on my 2020 Sport (3.6L), 15.3 on my 2023 Rubicon (3.6L). Both run 35's and stock gearing. Both either in town driving or 75 on the interstate. Very rare to see any significant runs on 55mph highways.

  11. Where is the aux battery?

    Yep, I had the IBS disconnected for probably just over an hour. Took about an hour and a half to do the whole job. I had a secondary reason for going through the top. The previous owner had made some mods to the truck. And as I had mentioned, the Autostart had been disabled somehow. I...
  12. Where is the aux battery?

    I pulled mine from the top today. Thought I was having some issues so ordered both batteries. Last of the two arrived yesterday. I put in in the back of my Gladiator to take out to my barn, and Jeep wouldn't start. Windshield wipers started running very slowly, screen said Truck was not in...
  13. Who Installed AC in Their Garage?

    I started out with mini-splits in my workshop, one in each of the two rooms. First one worked about a year before the control board burnt up a fan relay, that signals the compressor to kick on. After one year, the unit was no longer manufactured and no parts available to fix it. It was a...
  14. My Views on my Gladiator as its Warranty Expires

    Thanks for the details! I never had any trouble with the Pentastar in my 2012 2Dr Rubicon. I probably added 2,000+ lbs to it with a lift, skid plates, Hutchison Rock Monster beadlock wheels and 37's. It took everything I could throw at it. Hoping the Gladiator holds up as well. I put about...

    2012 Rubicon on Hell's Gate.
  16. My Views on my Gladiator as its Warranty Expires

    Just bought a used 2020 Sport 3 weeks ago.. Had 71K miles and a clean CarFax. Got a great price on it. Runs fantastic. I've added 2,000 miles in the 3 weeks. Hoping to get a lot more out of it. Using it as my daily driver to keep the miles off my '23 RAM 2500 Cummins Rebel. Had a 2012 JK...
