What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[TexasTJ]

My dad lives there. It would be easy enough to pick one up the next time I visit, assuming the price is right.

Very nice. I can't comment on price as I got a good buddy discount on his first one.

Wonder what shipping on a 2x6 would run. He does various stains, paints, burns on them too. I think he's planning on Sting for his with red letters.

I would buy some too

Prepped for winter by having Krown Rustproofing applied. They got it in every possible nook, cranny and panel.
Still oozing after 5 days so don’t think she will be parked in the driveway for at least a couple more days.
Very impressed with the whole process and service!
Check out the application process attached.

If you do get rust, dealer sees all th ehols they drilled and then they deny the rust warranty... ?

The Dealer has to prove a modification has actually compromised parts in question before it can deny a warranty claim.

The magnuson-moss act protects consumers of cars from car manufacturers denying claims based on adding aftermarket accessories. Now of course this isn’t going to protect you from everything but it stops most of the shenanigans

Have you ever had to go up against a dealer on a warranty claim...? Yea you are right, but unless you are going to hire a lawyer an experts... You are th eone who has to convince them your modification did not cause the issue. On top of that, even if they agree that your modification did not cause the damage, they (as is the regional service manager) can request that the area in question be returned to stock form before they perform any warranty work in the area...

I had a 2002 BMW E46 M3 that I took to the track (race circuit, not drag strip). I had cut off the brake disk rotor backing plates (made of sheet metal, used to prevent a rock getting into the back of the rotors) for better cooling. Something was wrong and the brake pedal would compress 1/2 the travel soft and then be rock hard... The problem was identified to be in the master cylinder or ABS unit.... Before the dealer would agree to change the master cylinder or ABS unit i was forced to put the backing plates back on... That involved taking apart the hubs, installing new backing plates, new bearings and reassbly... They claimed they would not help if brake system was in stock form talked to people at BMW corp, had friends at BMW Motorsports... No one would overrule the regional service manager.

Understand. They are hoping you won’t hire an attorney to fight them as well. Considering the nature of a Jeep and that their own dealerships sell new vehicles with aftermarket parts on them I think we’re talking about a slightly different scenario than a BMW dealership. Also in the scenario you described the very nature of what you were doing with the vehicle was also adding a complexity to the scenario.
