    Hemi Conversion questions

    I don't know if you've seen videos on this swap being done - but its not a painless conversion and imo looks like more of a pain than its worth (especially given the fact that hemi's and 8 speed zf's are not cheap). If you can find a wrecked charger/challenger with a hemi would probably be...

    Power Steering Loss on a Jeep Gladiator

    For what its worth my Dad's Honda had this same exact problem. It turns out that it was really picky with voltage and the battery was not fully charged as his car sat for a while before he started driving it again - the only diagnostic codes that would show up is on the dealers fancy scan...

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    Like I said earlier - if you have the means and you don't do it you kinda have to be atleast half retarded. I paid about as much for my 21 Willys JT as I did for my new Rubicon... If you can snag a '23 Rubicon (or Mojave if thats your jam) do it. My guess is they had alot of parts stock and...

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    Thanks, and Thanks for your video ! I was totally expecting Gladiators to sell for sticker - after i traded mine in on a ram 2500 (that truck ended up having lifter failure and really let me down) i was never able to find deals on them. I just got a new 4runner for 1 month to... as soon as I...

    Baby Seal

    I couldn't find a JL/JLUR with the ecodiesel back in november to save my life - did you custom order it? Dealer said '22 was the last year for the JL ecodiesel - by the time I did find a Rubicon Gladiator EcoDiesel the sticker price on it was more than what the discounted price on my '22 Ram...

    go diesel or nah?

    I think the more important thing is that you get a rubicon or get prepared to spend more on upgrading things (i.e. lockers, fenders etc) that would more than exceed the cost of a Rubicon out of the box.

    JT Suggestions

    Whatever JT you get - get a Rubicon - I am in the process of replacing a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't have had to if I just would have started with a Rubicon (they didn't have any on the lot when i got mine last year).

    EVO WAYALIFE Jeep Gladiator w/Trailing Arms - SEMA 2022

    And here I was asking about long arm setups a month or so ago... this looks awesome, it looks more along the lines of what you would see on a trophy truck - would be cool to see how these flex out compared to stock. Those arms look indestructible.

    OX Lockers

    I am already researching tackling this myself - something tells me there is alot of reasons why ARB's are a goto and of all the things i've seen on ARB's when they fail - they always fail in an open state and its usually due to an airleak. I've re-geared Ford 9" before (but those are stupid...

    OX Lockers

    I've posted before about regearing, etc.. local(ish) shop I am working with recommended ox lockers and I was just going to upgrade to chromoly shafts (and do a fad delete) does anyone have any experience with this ? I was told that the OX Lockers are actually stronger than the ARB's (is this...

    Speedy Cracker the 392

    Was also wondering if you could turn off MDS? Thats my only dislike with the 392 - known many people who had issues with AFM/DOD GM v8's (and supposedly the Hemi's with MDS are not immune to this).

    Speedy Cracker the 392

    Congrats ! Happy to see another person who got one - I remember seeing 1 on the dealer lot when i bought my gladiator- but it was instantly bought (even with a $25k markup). I love the accessory drive setup, and what they did with the intake. Did you end up having to pay a markup on this one ?

    Ordering a new JL

    I want to get her a new one so a used JL would really not hit the same.

    Ordering a new JL

    I was wondering what everyones experience has been ? I am going to order a new Wrangler for my wife (our anniversary - and so she can get off my back everytime I get something for my gladiator or even look at anything Jeep related lol) - after arguing with me about how much I have spent and...
