    Thoughts about Gladiator towing capacity

    Honestly if you want something that will only be used occasionally and will provide stress free towing for a camper get a used SuperDuty. For an A-frame camper a half-ton (F150 or equivalent) would also be fine and would tow way better than any Jeep offering. I own a JK and a SD and they...

    Thoughts about Gladiator towing capacity

    The 3.6 is plenty capable with the appropriate gearing. That will not be your weak link. I used to have a 4.0L Ranger with something like 160HP and it was just fine towing a car on a trailer (~5500lbs). Of course more power/torque is always nice... The Gladiator has an advantage with...

    120VAC inverters on the trail

    The OEM inverters are typically square wave inverters. Fine for alot of stuff, but some items won't run or can be damaged unless you have a pure sine wave.

    120VAC inverters on the trail

    I have some Renogy panels but not their inverter. The inverters I mentioned are typically in the 2K range. I think with many of the less expensive units they succumb to the constant shaking/vibration of an auto/RV/etc environment, not necessarily a direct electronic failure. I am in the...

    120VAC inverters on the trail

    Some people on the truck forum I am a part of have used the Samlex inverter with good success. The general consensus, however, is to not skimp and go with a good quality unit - Samlex, Victron, Progressive Dynamics, etc.

    2 way radios

    My uncle was way into HAM and Heathkit. All his gear was up in their attic... Cool area he had up there. I guess it was his version of a mancave but on the top, instead of the bottom of the house. 😂

    2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara won't crank

    When the OP said the second brand new starter did the same thing I was thinking something with the flywheel as well.

    Not another overheating issue

    If working properly the radiator has a lot to do with keeping the engine cool, not sure why you are stating the opposite - or maybe I am misinterpreting? If not leaking, significant internal restrictions due to deposits or heavily damaged fins will degrade the performance to the point a...
