    VIDEO : JEEP GLADIATOR Truck Highlights & Close Up Look at the 2018 LA Auto Show

    Lol I'm a child of the 70's...manual trucks had 3 speeds, granny, 2nd, and go. Only started in granny if you were going up a hill or needed minimal wheel speed. Pretty much started in second and shifted into 3rd around 15mph. That's where you stayed. At 55 it sounded like the motor was about...

    VIDEO : JEEP GLADIATOR Truck Highlights & Close Up Look at the 2018 LA Auto Show

    Ouch. Didn't realize the JK auto was that bad. My 2015 JKUR is a manual and I wish reverse was better in it. Shifting into 4lo to have great reverse just isn't an option most of the time! :naw:

    VIDEO : JEEP GLADIATOR Truck Highlights & Close Up Look at the 2018 LA Auto Show

    Very cool! I like that they went with Gladiator...just wish they had maybe tried to give the front end more of the Gladiator's profile than just keeping the JL front end. Not saying it's horrible but really, that classic Gladiator grill! Shouldn't be too long before someone bob's that bed...

    slow leak in tire = patch or plug?

    Be sure to check the valve stem too. Had so many low tire issues over the years where just tightening the valve stem a smidge took care of them. In fact, I had to stop and put about 5lbs in my rear passenger tire this morning. TPMS lihgt came on about a block from home when it updated and...

    Cordless Impact Gun?

    My basic cordless stuff is Ridgid X4 so I bought the 1/2" X4 stand alone impact driver and so far I've liked it. Decent power at about 320 odd ft pounds of torque. Have the cheaper Craftsman Evolv deep impact sockets in metric and SAE and have had 0 problems removing anything on my truck or...

    Fender liner sleeved nut loose?

    So as I'm doing a tire rotation yesterday I noticed the fender liner retention bolt hanging down on the driver side. Grabbed it and it was loose and jiggly. Checked the passenger side and it's snugged up nice. Figured no problemo. Grabbed a 10mm ratchety wrench and proceeded to try and...

    New jeep oil change and consumption question?

    So I changed the oil in my 2015 JKURHR yesterday for the first time. Mileage read 6655. Initial msg to 'change oil soon' came on at about 6200 and read 5% oil life remaining. 'Oil change required' came up at just about 6600. All of the oil that came out fit into the 5qt bottle easily. Looks...

    Lifting on a tighter budget...

    I know you all have to be tired of all the repetitive threads about lifting on a budget. After reading through countless of these threads covering the same thing over and over my mind has gone to plaid so please pay no attention to the slack-jawed look on my face. :icon_crazy: So what I have...

    How to Wheel in the snow

    Some good advice given so far. Remember that tool use sets we humans apart from the cold snow bound animals! Have a winch in good working order, of course, along with its attendant recovery gear. Always have a standard 30" d-handle spade & d-handle powder shovel (not the small back country...
