    Second Row Seat Delete, Functional for Daily Duties?

    Took out the back seat in my '03 Rubicon and replaced it with a storage box that had a fridge mounted to the top. Never needed the additional seating. Took out the back seat in my '13 JKUR and had a friend build a flat floor with storage underneath. Never needed the additional seating. Took...

    Is anyone running JKU Goose Gear Plate System w/ 100% rear seat delete?

    You could build your own for a tiny fraction of what Goose Gear is charging. I had a friend build a metal floor for my '13 JKUR. I built a plywood floor for my Gladiator in one afternoon. Rock climbing anchors make great tie-down points. It would be pretty simple to make a raised door...

    You Like the Gladiator? Jeep Isn’t Done Tweaking It Yet. Meet HERCULES!

    Agreed. I've seen a surprising number of JTs in Moab towing sizeable trailers. I spoke with one of the drivers who said he was very happy with the towing capabilities...and he had come over the mountains from Colorado. I rarely see JKs towing trailers that big. There's a reason for that...

    Jeep Halts Gladiator Sales, Issues Recall,...anyone know the update to this?

    There was NOT a general stop sale of Gladiators...only of certain models built through June 25. A total of about 3500 are affected. And it's simple to see if your vehicle is one of them. Just go to https://www.mopar.com/en-us/my-vehicle/recalls/search.html or recalls.gov. Don't call the...

    Adventures of Hodor, A Gladiator Build Thread

    SmartStopStart makes a plug-in module that remembers the last setting. So if you turn it off once, it will stay off. It apparently installs in about 5 minutes or less. I've had the module for several weeks waiting for the Gladiator to arrive. I picked the vehicle up yesterday...103 days...

    Adventures of Hodor, A Gladiator Build Thread

    Interesting. I haven't heard of that stage yet. Mine is still in D status...unchanged for 41 days now. It's aggravating that orders placed a few days to several weeks later when they were not allowed to order restricted items are sailing through the production process...while those of us who...

    Adventures of Hodor, A Gladiator Build Thread

    Also still in D...27 days now. I read that they are now saying it can be in D and/or D1 for up to 45 days since some have already passed 30 in D. The consensus seems to be that the steel "winch-ready" front bumper is delaying orders...but there are also reports that it could be the front...

    Adventures of Hodor, A Gladiator Build Thread

    Ordered 4/27 and have been in D status for a full 2 weeks. Normal D time is 5 days but Jeep chat said it could be in D status for "up to 30 days."

    New Jeep - Gladiator Rubicon

    I went to their website and looked at the options for that truck. An identically-optioned Gladiator in the U.S. would be $59,275 MSRP.

    New Jeep - Gladiator Rubicon

    The above ad is from a Canadian dealer. There are a lot of unscrupulous dealers in the U.S. who are adding several thousand dollars to the MSRP. If you add every possible option to a Rubicon, it totals $64,110 U.S.. There are dealers tacking on an additional $3K-5K. I ordered my...

    Jeep Blown oil cooler in Moab - Suggestions

    I'm glad to know that Moab Motorsports works on Jeeps. I thought they were strictly an ATV, UTV, dirtbike, snowmobile shop. I believe that's how they started.

    Jeep Blown oil cooler in Moab - Suggestions

    I would call Napa when they open (435-259-7195). It's next door to the liquor store on 200 south just west of the main drag. If they do not have the part, they might be able to point you in the right direction. I am going to Grand Junction this afternoon but will not be back until this...

    Ark Pak - Questions and Queries

    Yes it is designed for 2-way communication. You received the answer to your question 3 months ago but chose to insist that there was a compatibility issue and people actually using the LiFePO4 batteries in the ArkPak didn't know what they were talking about. To quote from my Aug. 28 answer to...

    New Jeep Pick Up to be unveiled...The Gladiator

    Everything is rumor at this point, but it is a pretty well-accepted rumor that the diesel will not be available until about a year after initial release.

    PLB (Personal locating beacon)

    We've had a sat phone for years. It sucks. It's difficult to use and sometimes takes 15 minutes just to get a signal. I would not recommend them since it happens to be 2018 and there are now better alternatives. We will probably be getting rid of it soon. There are also several places...

    PLB (Personal locating beacon)

    Simply not true. Calls from the AFRCC are not treated any differently or with more urgency than calls from the IERCC. And the AFRCC is no less apt to call the wrong agency. If that does happen, the correct agency is notified within minutes...if not seconds. While you have presented some...

    PLB (Personal locating beacon)

    I prefer not to recommend devices since I happen to be involved with a government entity. PLBs, SPOT and inReach devices all work. More $$ usually equals more features. There are tons of reviews out there on the various devices. What I can say is that with my Garmin inReach device, messages...
