  1. Thoughts on Removing the Plastic Air Dam

    I removed mine to install the winch, then put it back on. I like the protection, such as it is, for the front stuff up there.
  2. Proof that 87 Octane fuel is limiting your 3.6

    So run what works for you...I run the lower octane and get 21 to 23 mpg at 65-70 mph. Yes, it goes down when I hit a hill but up again on the 'flats.' With 123k miles. I have no desire to run the Jeep WFO just to get a few more lbs or hp. It runs fine with me driving like I want. But as I...
  3. New member with questions

    Yep, pretty much like the former attached link. Mine is a little different but I attribute that mostly to the Badlands winch. It mounts very securely and works quite nicely. And yes, the bumper is mostly to hold the fog lights and cover up things.

    Not the greatest photo but I'm very happy with my 'plastic' bumper and Badlands 12K winch.
  5. New Gladiator: What are your go-to accessories?

    One of my best and least expensive were the hood supports. At less than $50, they are a great add-on. Most of the other suggestions have also been added, either by the DPO or myself. I also have the Rough Country tri-fold cover, very nice. I don't use the 2x8 but a couple of sliding units...
  6. Looking to run Black Bear 6/26/26

    OK, not a problem then...It has been about 15 years since I did it on a bike, big rigs have probably wallered out the track some anyway in that time.
  7. Portable vs. Fixed Air Compressors: Which Side Are You On?

    I'm a 'soft' rocker but want to be able to air down and back up on very rare occasions. So a portable Viair is my choice. I was surprised at how quickly it would go from 20psi to 40psi.
  8. Looking to run Black Bear 6/26/26

    I've been over Black Bear a number of times but always on a motorcycle. I would hesitate to take my Glad over it only because of a couple of VERY sharp switchbacks. But I'm sure that it can be done!
  9. What’s the best trip you’ve taken in your Gladiator so far?

    My best trip? The one I just got back from! That is, each and every one is a joy. And I wonder if moving from 'rubber' bumper to steel (or aluminum) is OK for a daily driver with some minor off roading. I added the Badlands 1200 just because I could, and have used it once. Also carry...
  10. Aux Bypass Didn't Clear Screen

    Well, I've been told that the main battery is going south (not the original, Jeep has over 120k on it) but it starts fine, even after sitting for days at a time. But some day I'll replace it anyway!
  11. Aux Bypass Didn't Clear Screen

    I could not understand why I needed an Aux battery so I pulled it out. Then I pulled the fuse. But now I was getting a bad battery 'warning' on the dash so I finally took the hot side of the battery off, and the gizmo that runs all the 'stuff.' Then hooked it all back up but without the aux...
  12. 81 year old Gladiator Driver busted

    So Janster, because I'm 82 and still driving my Gladiator (with a license that has never been 'lifted'), I assume you think my license should have been 'lifted' years ago? We have no previous info on the driver from the OP, just that he was drunk on that particular day. Maybe he was a...
  13. 81 year old Gladiator Driver busted

    Well, I partially disagree with Bandits Lair. Perhaps he has first hand experience but I still disagree. The 'perp' was 81 years old and drunk. Not sure about his Gladiator but if I was going to 'run from' a cop, mine would do more than 65 mph! We don't see the first PIT attempt so....And...
  14. 81 year old Gladiator Driver busted

    I suppose most of you will say that I am represented by him. Even though he is a year younger than I. I don't drive drunk but I wonder why they would take his DL when 40 and 50 year olds can rack up several DUI's and still get a DL again. I mentioned to a friend that one day the NM MVD may...
  15. Main battery and Aux Battery replacement write up

    So I finally got around to disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting. No more idiot message or bells!
  16. question on mods . new mojave owner

    From my short time on the Forum, you will either Love your Jeep or hate it. There doesn't seem to be much of a middle ground! BTW, I love mine...
  17. BEWARE - JEEP ISNT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS [LOCKED: USER BANNED]

    Huh? I bought my 2020 Overland with 114,000 miles, now has 120,600. NO problems, no death wobble, no electronic issues, nothing! I think he bought a LEMON! I hope to grow much older owning this sweetheart of a Jeep!
  18. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Pics as requested of Badland in rubber bumper.
  19. Built not bought or bought not built???

    I like the fact that my Overland came from factory with many of the items I would have added (built?). But then I added a Tazer, a Badlands winch, more skid plates, etc. Dealer I got it from had upgraded tires somewhat but still stock 'level' and fine with me (for now?) I love the leather...
  20. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I did noting to my Overland today...but last week I installed an engine/transmission skid plate to go with the factory plates for transfer and gas tank. A couple months ago I installed an Apex 12000 winch in my 'rubber' bumper. Turned out very good from 10' visual...I removed the wire cable...
