    What is going on with Stellantis/FCA ?

    Not sure if anyone is following: They laid off a ton of engineers the other day. They are doubling down on EV's even after the negative charger EV release (almost no one wants one). Dodge hornet is the slowest selling vehicle in the country. Bring Jeep Upmarket deal is failing... less and...

    Mounting CB + GMRS radios on CBBAR

    I am looking for ideas on getting both radio setups installed. The GMRS i picked up (will probably draw a good deal of power - Midland MXT575) - I am installing the Factory Aux switches myself and was wondering if it would be better to just wire straight to the battery or if I should use one...

    Long Drives

    Not sure why folks would shy away from long drives with a JT. The biggest complaint I had was with seat comfort. Seat jackers make a noticeable improvement. I can sit for 2hrs + without wanting to jump out of the thing (from aches/pain). Would highly recommend (not sure about linking...

    Have any of you guys thought about or have done a V8 swap ?

    The Problem: I have made my first round of my round trip 220 mile commute earlier this morning and I noticed that while it feels like I have more power than day 1 (it has about 5k miles on it now). It has to scream to maintain speed up some of the hills/grades that I am going up -...

    Accuair Drawbacks ?

    I have been researching what lift I wanted for a while and I initially came down to an evo 4.5" enforcer lift or a metalcloak 4.5" long arm lift (it looks like it works great - but the JT can't really deal with load or towing - so you throw that out the window with that setup). I came across...

    Why did the Military stop using Jeeps ?

    This one has really baffled me for some time. I remmember growing up and seeing old CJ's CJ5's and probably what really got me into Jeeps (Mash/M38A1). I was told that the payload of the M38A1 left room to be desired and it didn't have much space... ok if anyone here has been in a HMMWV can...

    Towing, hauling and general comfort on 37s/38s ?

    Hi All, So i've been working through (and set a budget aside) for what i'd like to do with my Jeep - but one question that came up in my mind is how well i'd be able to tow/haul stuff - it owuld be nice to be able to still reach into my bed - pull items and place them - or to be able to pull a...

    Ordering a new JL

    I was wondering what everyones experience has been ? I am going to order a new Wrangler for my wife (our anniversary - and so she can get off my back everytime I get something for my gladiator or even look at anything Jeep related lol) - after arguing with me about how much I have spent and...

    Ultimate Dana 44's ? Are they worth it ?

    So as I've posted before I am going through a set of upgrades and I was looking at the cost of upgrading gears, adding lockers, stronger axles and knuckles - all in the cost was about what it would cost (or negligible) to just swap the whole axle out for a Ultimate Dana 44 (or a Prorock 44)...

    Finally got my Rubicon flares installed (and ready for bigger tires)

    IMO this is a must for anyone who has a non Rubicon/Mojave. I am not sure if the rivet gun i was using was faulty or I suck at it (I've done normal rivets before and wasnt that bad at it). But invest in a decent plastic rivet gun if you want clean factory looking plastic rivets. I didn't need...

    Long Arms (and Coilovers)

    Does anyone out there have a true long arm (front and rear) setup for the Gladiator ? I seen somewhere that Evo was working on one but I haven't seen it offered (or anyone running it). Thinking ahead...

    Best Place to live for Jeepers

    Was wondering what everyone would consider the best region to live at for people who like wheeling/trail rides (and general 4x4 fun). Throughout the years most people seem to vote CO, then again people in WA would like to have a word if you said that. I am on the east coast and while there...

    37's on 2" Lift ?

    Hi All, I have a Willys Sport (so I do not have the widetrac axles) and I want to run 37's as I know if i go 35's ill be kicking myself for not going that much further. I'd also like to stick with the stock wheels since if i do upgrade wheels i'll want beadlocks - and if i end up going that...

    Hello from VA !

    Hi All, I am Joe from VA. I've been watching the channel for quite some time. I decided to join after having the Gladiator for about a year or so - looking to meet new cool people with like minded interests and learn along the way. My Gladiator has a 2" BDS lift - otherwise stock.
