  1. Might be time to change: Ram 2500

    They're the same external size, aren't they? In my case it was exacerbated by looking through 3 layers of tinted glass. But yeah, I usually park in an open area when possible.
  2. Might be time to change: Ram 2500

    I had a quad cab Ram 1500 for some years before the Gladiator. It's a good truck if that's what you need; I bought it because I needed to tow a large trailer. When not towing, it was a pleasure on the highway, boring around town, and a PITA to manage in a parking lot. Gas mileage a LOT worse...
  3. Wolfbox Wide-Angle Convex Side Mirrors (Pair) from $69.99. Extra Discount Code Included!

    It appears the blue tinted mirrors are sold out. @WOLFBOX , any info on when they will be available?
  4. Wolfbox Wide-Angle Convex Side Mirrors (Pair) from $69.99. Extra Discount Code Included!

    That makes sense, as the passenger side mirror is already a convex mirror, go too much wider and "objects in mirror" would definitely be "closer than they appear!"
  5. Odyssey Battery Warning

    Two different things. AGM is a type of lead-acid batttery contstruction ("Advanced Glass Mat"), whereas "marine" is an intended use; most marine batteries are deep cycle or combined deep cycle / starting use. Other than the specialty makers like Odyssey, virtually all of the "name brand...
  6. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Of course. I waited overnight for mine, theirs probably won't be used for a week or two.
  7. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Combined wheelin' with cargo hauling. Well, not serious wheeling but I did need 4WD at one point. It was a case of trickle-down refrigonomics. Got an new fridge for the house as part of a remodel. The old one was better than the fridge at the cabin, so my wife and I loaded it onto the truck...
  8. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    No flying, just doing some work on the plane.
  9. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Took the scenic route home from the local airport through the state forest. Pretty soggy after last night's rain.
  10. Wolfbox Wide-Angle Convex Side Mirrors (Pair) from $69.99. Extra Discount Code Included!

    If anybody puts these on, please report back here. I have limited neck motion and was thinking of adding the stick-ons, but this seems a nicer solution if it doesn't make the view too small. No mirror defroster or BSM on my Sport, so that doesn't matter to me.
  11. Dead Pedal Installation Help

    It takes a deep socket and some leverage to get the nut off, but you needed deep sockets and a breaker bar anyway. ;) I have the same pedal, once I got it in I didn't like the angle so I added some 3/4" spacers between the bracket and the pedal, now it's perfect.
  12. Does Jeep purposely design their vehicles to get 19 mpg?

    I reset it the other day at the start of a 200 mile trip, mostly highway but with some mountain roads in the middle, averaged 19.2 mph. Local roads around home it's usually 18 something. That's a Sport with 33" Mojave takeoffs, doing 70-80 on the highway. My old CJ5 was a lot worse, maybe...
  13. Don't Get Stranded - Easy Fixes Tips & Tricks (Dead Batteries, Manual Park Release, AutoPark Disengage Etc)

    You guys are missing my point. I know a Tazer wil do it, but if disconnecting or jumpering the driver's seat belt switch has the desired effect (disabling autopark) with no other undesirable effects, that's a lot simpler and cheaper.
  14. Don't Get Stranded - Easy Fixes Tips & Tricks (Dead Batteries, Manual Park Release, AutoPark Disengage Etc)

    Not at all; I just to be able to look out the open door when necessary, like backing a trailer or driving up onto ramps or whatever without being slammed into park because some lawyer thinks he needs to protect me.
  15. Don't Get Stranded - Easy Fixes Tips & Tricks (Dead Batteries, Manual Park Release, AutoPark Disengage Etc)

    I know this is an old thread and may be a stupid question, but what is the downside to jumpering the seat belt switch so it thinks the seatbelt is always buckled?
  16. Gladiatorisms ……. Bizarre, weird things…Normal or….?

    Unfortunately no setting, only a Tazer can disable it If you close the door to the first click it won't sound the horn. The problem is that I always forget and close it normally...
  17. Phone/GoPro/GPS Mount

    I didn't want to lose the dash tray and I don't like anything blocking the windshield so I went with a mount that attaches behind the passenger grab bar. A side benefit is that in hot weather you can blow the A/C vent directly on the phone to keep it from overheating. The quality of the mount...
  18. PSI for Factory Falken Wildpeaks A/Ts?

    Both the chalk test and the tire conversion chart mentioned in this thread say 32 psi, and that seems to be just right for those tires (in my case Mojave takeoffs) on my Sport.
