Several of these articles in various outlets. I hope people read the actual article before getting too excited. They usually fail to note that these discounts are only on the stripped out Sport model (not even Sport S) with cheap P rated tires. You won't find such discounts on the Rubicon...

Ventilation It's my first summer with the (black) Alu-Cab. So far, there's nothing in there that can't take the heat in the long weeks in the driveway between trips, and in practical use it cools off fast when you open up. (And I'm adding insulation bit by bit too) But in the near future I'm...

I did the drilling at the work machine shop today. Gotta say, I'm impressed by the stiff pre-punched cardboard drill templates, which drop tightly onto the stud in the latch mechanism. Makes it trivially easy to mark the centers with a spring loaded center punch. The nylon housings drill...

Well, re-reading the OP I see you're only looking for a single can, so maybe most of what I wrote doesn't apply. I've often needed to carry 4 cans (20 gallons) as many of our trips in and around Death Valley can burn half a tank just getting from the nearest gas station to the trailhead. That...

I've got 4x Scepter MFCs, plus the special tool, plus the special pour spout, plus spare seals and flanges, plus the seals and flanges I've had to replace over the years. For many years I fed a thirsty Tacoma from those MFCs, filthy from being outside the vehicle, filth on my hands, spilled all...

Well, I went for it. Ordered from Australia as the USD price for 4 actuators + control module seemed reasonable to me. (They added a 4x option for the Camper to their website at my request, instead of the 6x used by the plain canopy. Either with or without the remote control module.) Total $253...

I wonder if the 2024 Wrangler they're showing at EJS has a payload sticker on the door sill

OK, good answers all. What I do in my Glad is remote start to get the engine warming up, the electric HVAC pre-heat comes on, and if it's cold enough the seat and steering wheel heaters come on automatically. So when I get in, the cabin is nice and warm. But correct, it does nothing for the...

I do this a lot in my Gladiator + Alu-Cab with factory remote start. I'm trying but can't figure out why someone would only think it possible in a Wrangler + Ursa

Thanks for linking those actuators - very interesting! I've been looking for ways to tie the rear locks into the truck's power lock system. If your truck had a power locking rear tailgate like mine (I'm guessing yes from your handle), getting the signal from the tailgate harness is pretty...

"Without options, the FWC Gladiator is 380 pounds" That's good if true

I can tell you my ACCC + bone stock Gladiator Rubicon = 7’5” = 226 cm from ground to highest point Don't know what model Glad you have - before camper, the Rubi ought to be about 2" taller than a Sport S (taller tire and mild spring lift) But bone stock is no way to run this thing, the rear...

Timely question. I just mounted this up on my ACCC recently. The position is really great, because there is no light at all on the hood - it’s in the shadow of the top of the windshield here. And from the driver’s seat (I’m 6’2”) I can’t see the shadow of the top of the grille on the ground...

Diesel GVWR is bumped +200 lbs also. For instance Gladiator Rubicon goes from 6250 lbs (gas) to 6450 (diesel). Of course the diesel engine is more than +200 lbs, but it does speak to "drivetrain upgrades from the factory with handle the added weight and power"

Previous experience with that stuff (track junkies spraying it inside rocker enclosures and B-pillars to stiffen up the chassis) has shown that it can continue to expand for a few days, and if overfilled to the brim, pop welds. I'd want to test carefully on a sacrificial structure first before...

You deserve a long answer too. In the US, AFAIK there is no way to re-rate the official GVWR, full stop. (I gather in some Australian states you can, but this seems to come with strict enforcement, checkpoints, mandatory weight checks, etc that are unheard of in USA.) Upgrading suspension to...

They don't? They're all just way over GVWR.

This sounds a little minimalistic based on your post, but it does have a huge sleeping space: https://atoverland.com/pages/at-habitat-truck-topper

Question regarding the Alu-Cab rear tire mount: would this aux fuel tank work? Full of diesel (~7lbs/gal), maybe 90 lbs? Typical 33" spare might be ~85 lbs; perhaps fine with just the tank, but I'm guessing the combination could be too much for the system?
