While the 20th anniversary rubicon was kind of a dull thud for me, the fact that we will either see a 4xe gladiator, or the gladiator will be dead by 2025 was the big news to me out of the press conference. Better start saving my pennies now for Big Red 2.0.

Looks like the 20th anniversary Rubicon is coming tomorrow. There is a photo showing the new grille with substantially higher airflow. It's too bad the jeep is that horribad yellow...
Saw this on the JL Forums, not sure if its true, but according to the poster the dealers received an email today on it:

I'm getting a new set of bead locks in and need to get some tpms in as mine are now nearly 2 years old from the build date and I'd prefer not to have to re-mount beads in a year or so. I found tpms.com that has the oe Schrader ones for 120, but there are tons of Amazon sets for like 40-50...
I already got my 5 (3 amazon, 2 walmart) but figured i'd post here as Amazon still has a few left at a really good price of 511.

I found this over in the JL forum of a gladiator being sold by someone who has determined they are "not a jeep person". Even if this is not actually for sale, thats quite a contraption!
After looking around a lot, I found the PSC Rocker Knockers to match my main 2 wants of steps and frame mounted. These were especially appealing to me because the steps are nice and low for the wife and kids, but quickly removable before going out on the trail.
The construction and finish on...
Found this and found it accurate
Q: How many Jeep Gladiator Forum members does it take to change light bulb?

TLDR bearing went bad in only 7 months and was binding my steering making it click like ball joints.
So I installed the steer smarts sector shaft brace back in May since it had the sealed bearing. Over the last month I've noticed my steering returning to center less quickly and increased...
Normally I'm not that interested in SUV's, but the new GC Trailhawk is gonna have a sway bar disconnect and rear locker. Its also going to have an optional hemi or 4xe.
It seems like maybe jeep is a little more serious about going after the 4Runner and even the bronco a bit as an IFS based...
TFL interviewed the comms manager for the overland expo on his gladiator overlanding build. The shocking part to me was the weight where he said he was at 7900 pounds!
My wife got me a warn zeon 12 for my birthday with the steel rope since the 12s seems to currently be a unicorn and honestly the 12 she got was 700 cheaper than the 12s so no real reason to hold out. With that said I want to move to synthetic rope so I'm looking for recommendations. I know warn...
Was cleaning the jeep up tonight and noticed a brown spot on the driveway that looked like oil. Thought it seemed unlikely given it's only 6k miles but when I got under it seems I have a fairly serious leak that appears to be from the rear main seal. Gonna take it in to the dealer tomorrow...
I tried searching but didnt see much, anyone try the icon lift on the gladiator? It seems to be another really mild lift like the mopar with 2.5" upfront and 1.5" rear. Just wondering how it compares to stock/rubicon/mopar if anyone has experience with it.
I'm looking to move to a mopar coil based franken lift with the fox 2.5 adjustable shocks. I'm wondering if i could get away with the fox 3.5-4 inch to get some extra travel with out the coils unseating.
So I'm looking for a set of adjustable control arms for my JTR. I'm in florida so rock crawling isnt really a thing and this is my DD so i'm prioritizing low nvh over flex as pretty much any of the joints i'm considering should flex enough.
I was thinking of going with the core 4x4 tier 3 that...
