    What was done to your rig this week?

    The JL also has two different systems that are actively working against any attempts to cool it more that the stock system. "This thermostatic bypass valve’s function is to let the oil circulate through the cooler only when the oil has achieved a certain temperature. In most cases, it starts to...

    Canadian wildfires

    It's hilarious the amount of media coverage it gets when it's New York. We were literally sleeping with canned oxygen on our night stands two summers ago and not a peep in the media.

    Any advice on new Jeep Gladiator for a noob?

    Negative, I went full retard and swapped to Dynatrac one tons with 5.13 gears sitting on 37s, but that was the plan from before I bought the Jeep.

    Any advice on new Jeep Gladiator for a noob?

    JLU here, not the same completely but not super far off. I ran 35's on factory sport axles and gears for 3 years without any issues, that's on the old 3.6 ICE without the BSG. I still averaged 18.5 MPG around town and about 21 on the highway. I ran everything you are talking about and definitely...

    Glimpses of the 2024 Gladiator

    Right on, I have to admit it's a nice creature comfort and I'd have sprung for it. I guess it's just now that my Jeep gets about 10mpg, all I can think about is weight. I told my wife '"you need to lose about 3 pounds off your head, it's not allowed to come off the bootie".

    Glimpses of the 2024 Gladiator

    I agree, but have you ever taken out an electric seat? Those things got some weight to them. I bet the grill was to claw back 6 oz. The more heavy stuff they add to these Jeeps from the factory, the more stuff they have to lighten up somewhere else, I hope it's not important stuff.

    Where did your Jeep take You this Week?

    Sorry, that's the best picture I got. This area is one of my frequent haunts so I don't take many pics anymore. Brent wasn't there and there was a ton of looky loos parking like idiots so I stayed with the vehicles to make sure nobody blocked us in.

    Banks/Money Managment

    Wait a second, let's not forget intense government pressure to give loans to people who would have never qualified under any kind of sane standard. And it actually looks like it's starting again.

    Pet Peeves - What Pisses You Off?

    I do believe you are being a little overly sensitive there buddy. It's not like we are throwing shit at them and yelling obscenities in the store. It's just irritating when there is a much quicker option available to anyone with a checking account.

    Really old people who still write checks at the grocery store.

    Where did your Jeep take You this Week?

    Saline Salt Tram, via Cerro Gordo and Swansea road. Since the owner started a YouTube channel Cerro Gordo (old mine/ghost town) is getting pretty popular), easy drive up a maintained gravel road. lots of vehicles coming and going. Us and the tag along Dodge took the Swansea road out from there...

    I think the aftermarket will solve the grill. I could live with the infotainment system, the older I get the bigger I want electronics so I can see them worth a shit.

    23 High Tide vs 24 Willys XT

    Also, if you don't hold out for the 24, you miss out on the chance for a factory full float 44. Not sure if that's on your build idea but I bet it can be added. Take it from an axle swap veteran, it's a lot of damn work or it's expensive if you pay someone else to do it. I would have been happy...

    I don't know dude, I regret not waiting a year for the diesel to be released.

    After market radiator

    Word around the campfire is that all the aftermarket radiators suck and you should stick with stock.

    That's how it ended up when Uconnect shit the bed and left it stranded on the side of the road.
