    Gladiator Electric brake controller

    I considered the Mopar brake controller, but I don't like that it replaces the dashboard 12v outlet. I was so impressed with the RedArc Elite controller on my JK that I decided to get another one for my JT. Installation is straightforward, and the tiny size of the knob means you have a choice...

    Gladiator Mojave vs Rubicon

    If you want to go fast, get the Mojave. If you want to go slowly or at medium speeds, get the Rubicon. If you're concerned that the Rubicon's springs are too soft, add a set of Airlift or Firestone airbags. You can't get the diesel with the Mojave. Or the 4:1 transfer case. Or the...

    Aggressive all terrain or less aggressive all mud terrain?

    I don't have experience with them, but I would venture that the Kanati Armor Hog ATX would serve you even better if you're looking for puncture resistance.

    Barn Door for JK factory hardtops

    Where I've found a small tank useful is for seating a blown bead. Other than that, you're right that a small tank doesn't add much value.

    Gladiator - Good/Bad?

    All diesels get 3.73, but the motor doesn't care until you go to 40" tires. Mine still cruises down the highway on 37's in 8th gear pulling a 19' travel trailer. The frame has some minor reinforcements and the steering knuckles are iron instead of aluminum. The ECU reduces power in the lower...

    BFGoodrich KO3 coming soon!

    I hope that BFG will start sizing the new tires correctly; they're some of the most under-sized tires on the market. If you want a 35 you have to buy a 37. The other disappointment with the KO2 was the big drop in tread depth compared to its predecessor the KO. The KO had some of the deepest...

    Jeep gives Wrangler 1.5" lift, 35" tires and 4.88 gears..

    Part of the problem with offering factory "lift kits" or just producing a vehicle with too-tall a center of gravity is all the lawsuits that will be launched and all the bad press by sensationalist media outlets like Consumer Reports over the increased likelihood of rollover accidents. The...

    2020 Opus OP2

    Building a new one as in a new trailer from scratch? I'm anxious to hear more of your thoughts about the OP2 and your future plans.

    TetonX Hybrid

    As far as I can tell that seems to be within the JKU's conservative 3500lbs tow rating, right? Perhaps with stock gearing and a heat-generating automatic transmission there might be more to worry about, but with a manual transmission and 5.13 gears I have no reason to be concerned.

    TetonX Hybrid

    I've also put my deposit down. I'm looking forward to what changes are made with the new composite design, but certainly having a larger water tank as well as internal batteries is a worthy improvement. I'm hoping the future air suspension works out too, as there are plenty of times I will...

    Fantastic! Thank you - I will keep you in mind.

    Wanted: Warn PowerPlant Winch

    Thanks Vince, I saw that one because I have Marketplace alerts set up. If the price was right, it would be worth the drive down to Bakersfield or L.A. to pick it up. Obviously I'd like to give my fellow ExPo members a chance to make a sale if they have one of these to sell.

    Wanted: Warn PowerPlant Winch

    Yeah, shipping would be expensive, so I'd prefer to be able to pick up in person. I'm located in Northern California.

    Wanted: Warn PowerPlant Winch

    I know that they haven't been produced for many years now, but if anyone happens to have a Warn PowerPlant Winch (9.5k or 12k) in good shape, I'd be interested in purchasing it.

    TetonX Hybrid

    I've been waffling for a while on getting an Opus OP2 as an upgrade from my highly modified Lifetime Tent Trailer, and I'm glad I did because the TetonX Hybrid seems like a fantastic alternative that would suit our needs quite well. I appreciate the detailed information that you all have...

    4xe

    My DD is a 2014 Chevy Volt, and my recreational vehicle is a 2010 JKUR. As soon as Jeep releases a 4xe Gladiator, I'll be replacing these two vehicles with one. I absolutely love the extended-range EV technology, and I think the torque output of the electric motor would be ideal for a Jeep...

    Gladiator to get Wrangler 4xe Plug-in Hybrid Drivetrain

    A Gladiator 4xe will be the vehicle that replaces my 2010 JKUR and my 2014 Chevy Volt. I can't wait!

    New RKS Off-Road Trailer That You Might Like!

    Interesting design, but at an absolutely ridiculous price, even at HALF what they're asking.
