Re: The Gladiator returns...
Well, getting past the derailment...
In 2021, when I can buy a Diesel Gladiator Rubicon used (or new if the resale is as crazy high as the Wrangler's are), one of these will likely be replacing the PW. Fuel economy alone will probably pay for itself!

As an ex-test engineer for Dana corporation in Toledo, I am calling BS on this (and yet another reason I think Gale Banks is a better salesman than engineer...).

Re: Winch Contactor
Well, took me about 2.5 hours last night, but got the contactor installed. Had to re-use the factory cables off the winch (my crimper is shot), so it isn't exactly where I'd like it (re-used the hose clamps that hold on the factory box, but now they grab the mount on the contactor directly), but it ...

Re: Winch Contactor
Haven't looked there, no.
The SuperWinch version is about 1/2 the price, for basically the same parts. I can mount it right back in the WARN box, and you'll never know it's in there. It's on the list of "to-do's"... I'll try to document it when I get around to it.

Re: Axle U-Joints
Which Spicer's did you use? 5-3212X looks like the right ones. Those RCV's are trick, but for $2300 I can buy a lot of U-joints... Hell, I can buy ball joints, a track bar, u-joints, and rock rails all for less money, or new U-joints and a free spin hub kit... As for ball joints, EMF are about $520,...

Alright, I'm getting feedback through the wheel, telling me the front joints are shot (binds enough to give a ratchet effect when returning to center on sharp turns). I 'm going to upgrade to a Thuren or Carli Track Bar as well. Thinking about doing ball joints while I'm in there (ridiculously expen...

Nice heavy nodular iron cover. I put one on the front diff, and it's beefy for sure. They don't make one for the 10.5", otherwi...

If you'd just cover it in salt, like everything else in this frozen hell, it would stop working altogether and you'd never have to worry about unsticking a frozen hook again!

Re: Bought a Jeep
FYI, they had the brake-lock traction control system, and while it's certainly not a locker, you'd be surprised what it'll do stock with that system alone. Put it in 4lo, and get a wheel up and spinning, and the computer applies brake force to just that spinning wheel, the diff routes power to the o...

No... You could hardwire the lockers, but that'll require bypassing the factory switch. Might screw with your smartbar too (I don't remember). I plan on keeping my truck for a while, so I'm tempted just to hardwire them. They'll have instant engagement, but you won't have any feedback that they're l...

Re: Lost oil pressure after high-speed offroad
If you were running that hard, and stared the pickup for oil, you could have dropped pressure momentarily. Long enough and you'll damage main bearings, which would result in the drop in oil pressure consistently. I'd cut open those oil filters looking for anything unusual for the next few changes. A...
