    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    Yeah they already announced that the ‘24s have a lower starting price. I think around $1700 or so cheaper - not sure how this effects the higher trim levels though i remmember about a year or so ago i was looking to get into a Rubicon from my Willys - and had 70k sticker shock lol. I needed...

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    Here they are :). Now she has her Jeep she said she won’t be mad when I start doing stuff to mine. (She was able to find one exactly the way she wanted her JL) now I just need to cancel the order on the JLU we had for her. I told her the JT rode and drove a little better than the JLU she didn’t...

    How Much front bumper weight is significant?

    Coming from someone who spent the better part of last year pulling forestry and other equipment to and from a 15 acre site with a ram 2500 which was probably often times overloaded worrying about 30lbs of payload - is like putting a condom on in bed and being anxious about your partner being...

    Towing, hauling and general comfort on 37s/38s ?

    I didn't own one - but was using a friends for about 2 weeks - it definitely struggles less than our 3.6 - but the 3.0 ecodiesel feels stronger imo. it's not a 6.7 Cummins (i say that even though my 6.7 Cummins lifters checked out at less than 17k miles and costed me well north of $35k) but...

    Towing, hauling and general comfort on 37s/38s ?

    Thanks - just went over it - looks like i'd have to surrender the 12v/cigg lighter lol. I'll look at aftermarket stuff.

    Towing, hauling and general comfort on 37s/38s ?

    I was trying to avoid just that. I was thinking the same thing as well - i don't think the 3.6 will tow effortlessly - but should get the job done. Do you know if there is a mopar trailer brake accessory for gladiators ? Looks like i may have to go aftermarket for that.

    Looking for Gladiator Rubicon ?

    Check your dealers - there are still deals on a '23 Rubicon (new) - you can get away with picking one up that has a sticker in the 60s for mid 40s ... you aren't really ever going to find a better deal than that - years ago when i bought my first one - i paid the same as what I paid for the...

    Towing, hauling and general comfort on 37s/38s ?

    Hi All, So i've been working through (and set a budget aside) for what i'd like to do with my Jeep - but one question that came up in my mind is how well i'd be able to tow/haul stuff - it owuld be nice to be able to still reach into my bed - pull items and place them - or to be able to pull a...

    Power Steering Loss on a Jeep Gladiator

    Virginia weather is very mild - they do go crazy whenever first snow is reported ... we literally had plow trucks salt the roads and ready to plow because some rain came through. I've gotten so sick of driving it through the wash every other day to get the salt off (i did run pb blaster surface...

    Eaton Locker or ARB Locker

    The funniest thing about this thread is having folks gripe about breaking stuff. If anyone here has been into Toyota's you would know how common this is on the 8" Axles and when they switched to IFS. There is a local here who is running 40's on stock JTR axles -trussed with 5.13 gears... and...

    Yeah i think its the same stuff as fluid film/pb blaster surface shield... they all have that same smell to them.

    Rust Prevention

    Honestly PB Blaster Surface shield seems about the same as fluid film to me. Maybe it lasts a little longer 🤷‍♂️ the hardest part about it is applying it - its absolutely terrible to apply with the aersol cans - the heads keep getting gunked up and clog so i was able to just get the frame...

    Dealership BULLSH!T - Gotta Love Them

    Shit like this is why i ended up in a 2500 Ram cummins (truck ended up being junk after only 16k miles or so) then a new 4runner (that only lasted 1 month because I was made aware of the incentives on JTs) because every Jeep dealer i talked to wanted sticker + market adjustment and no one was...
