    SPEED GOVERNORS Coming to California

    We are supposed to heat out to base in March (for work) - I was thinking of driving out that way but everything I've read and seen (and driving through LA last time was terrible (not going to get into all the details)) - not even including all the traffic. I remember growing up in Florida I...

    2024 Xtreme vs Xtreme Recon

    In addition when we were ordering my wife's JLU (she's changed her mind and has a new JTR now) the Xtreme Recon has a lift - was told it has the actual 2" Mopar lift from the factory and you have the option of getting 4.88 gears but 4.56 are standard - also semi floating/floating rear is...

    BRONCO Off-Roadeo??

    This is the one thing I never understood about Mopars ... I think Dodge used to have a thing they used to do with Neon ACR's and other performance cars... Ford has been good about showing owners what their performance vehicles could do in the past and it looks like they are carrying that on...

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    Once my son is in college and I have less property - i will probably be thinking the same as well.

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    It's almost like the 2dr JL doesn't even exist anymore (even though I love those as well - just not as practical for me).

    ACC BAR for 2024-Up JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator w/Roll Bar Air Bags NOW AVAILABLE

    Figured to ask (since I wasn't able to order for a bit) - got one in the pipe - not sure if my wife is going to want one yet - but she's been on a role with "Where is mine" everytime i order something for my JT - I am starting to feel bullied.

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    I haven't had any issues doing all the stuff the Wranglers do around me - in some cases the wheelbase has been an advantage. I remmember this kind of snobbery when the JKU's came out and people call them minivans and telling folks who bought them they couldn't tag along on runs because they...

    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...

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    My wife drove my Gladiator and preferred that over a wrangler... so we got another one :).

    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...
