I made a big mistake today. I install a flow master extreme exhaust. It was an impulse purchase right before Christmas. whats worse is I cut my stock exhaust off because I’ve never put stock exhaust back on. Well lesson learned. This thing sounds like dogshit now. Inside the truck sounds like there is no exhaust at all. So be warned, flowmaster extreme sounds like shit. And by the way, I’ll have an almost new flow master extreme cat back exhaust for sale soon. It sounds awesome and aggressive. As soon as I find my replacement, It will be removed.

I remote started my Gladiator today. It started. I walked out and it wasn't running. Hopped in and started it again and then it died 5 seconds later. Didn't see any check engine lights or any codes. Started it again and no issue. Went and ran my errands and it never did it again. This is the second weird issue I've had. A few weeks ago, I got the service transmission light/message. It did it twice and never did it again. I wonder if my Tazer has anything to do with either issue. Not sure where to look for today's incident, but these glitches if thats what happened. They are not confidence inspiring. Just hope these things don't happen when I'm in the middle of nowhere Utah with no cell service.

Check both batteries to make sure they are in good health. Low voltage sometimes could lead to random warning messages.

RPM Steering Tie Rod/Drag Link - Extreme Duty setup on the Tie Rod with Heim ends

Has held up real well this year with 42s, Tons, and Hydro assist on everything from Texas to Alabama, Missouri, and Tennessee. I don't go easy on them and I've watched other folks break their Tie Rod Ends on the same trail.

Yeap definitely going to go with RPM, thanks for the review.

Busy day for me to start the new year !!

A couple days ago I put the Mopar flag decal cover-up set that my Mother-in-Law gave me for Christmas. She bought two sets in case I messed up. Little did she know I'm an RTA decal fool; I had to do it at work when I worked office building management. The invasion stars shortly followed. Then the Mag-Lite (almost matching color) and bracket install. Passenger side brackets has my wife's umbrella so it's always handy (her request).

Yesterday I put in the Molle panel set I got from Amazon. Cheapies, but they'll do. It took WAY longer than necessary because no install instructions are included, just a link to a 100% useless video. So I just laid out every bolt, every nut, every washer and figured out on my own what went where. After I got one side done, the other was a breeze.

I strapped in my Estwing Campers Axe and my first aid kit. The front Molle panel holds one of my Christmas gifts from my wife, the Mopar Freedom Panel bag.

I have a new fire extinguisher and quick release bracket, but ran out of sunlight. Something for this new retiree to do today.

Edit: I added in the pic of the fire extinguisher with quick-disconnect mount that I installed this morning. I have several large commercial extinguishers from a building where I used to work, but the bed of a Gladiator really ain't that big....

Now is the time to add the reverse lights drop ins that replace those school bicycle reflectors in the lower number. They light up the night like the 4th of July!

The Oracle flush tail lights actually have incredible reverse lights, that even during the daytime they are real ,real bright. I have had them since they came out, am very happy but cancelled my order for the reflector mount lights after seeing how bright the tail lights were. I had concerns my dealer would not pass them at inspection time but no problem….Jack

I'm kicking around the idea of the flush tail lights. I like them. But the quirky, factory bulbous tail lights can't help but make you think "Why did Jeep do this ?" and so they have a certain ugly charm.

My understanding why they're the way they are is because of blind spot monitoring and the fender flares sticking out, so the lights got moved out to compensate.

Something that finally makes sense, thank you.

Oracle tail lights dispel that belief as they incorporate the sensor and there is a ton of room behind the light.

This is at our Florida house where there are actually street lamps, but on our island in Maine it's essentially dirt roads, woods and not one street light, so the extra rear lighting comes in handy when responding to emergencies. I'm a Firefighter/EMT in a rural area that these lights, and all my other additional lighting, help keep me and the general public safe.

Morimoto is very close to releasing their flush tails. You can get great looking flush lights and the reliability of their brand, vs others that have quality issues. There is even a recentish Quadrtec video and they are rocking defective tails from a vendor on this forum. They sell the stuff and have a defective light, pretty bad look to me.
