Howdy, I have a set of Gladiator Rubicon rock sliders that I'm willing to give away to anyone willing to come pick them up. They are free. I tried to sell them on FB but no takers even at $30. If you wanted to trade them for a bottle of a 1.75l bottle of yellowtail red wine (abt $12 at Kroger)...

This question is for the diesel techs out there. In our Gen 3 EcoDiesel's we have a crankcase ventilation system that allows air/oil mist into the intake. My question is if the turbo is sending boost (positive air pressure) into the intake, how does any air/oil mist pass from the crankcase to...

Howdy all, I needed some storage but didn't want to take up a lot of bed space by installing a full toolbox so thought this idea might work for my small stuff. I plan on adding a lock to the box before I'm done. Heck, I might add one to the other side too.

Ok all, In have a question for anyone who may have tried this, or has enough knowledge to know if this idea will actually derate the diesel. Me and a buddy were talking hypotheticals and he has an idea to block off the EGR pipe before it enters the intake. I know it will throw a code. But will...

Howdy, On my old 16 JK with the stock radio, one of the Sirius channels (may have been fox business, CNBC, or Bloomberg channel) would show the stock ticker for Dow Jones and the S&P 500 on screen (it probably did this where it normally shows the song name). I now have a 23 Rubi with the...

Saw this story in my news feed today. https://www.syracuse.com/crime/2024/04/central-ny-truck-dealer-gets-fined-50k-for-disabling-emission-controls-on-244-trucks.html

Needed to run coax from under drivers seat to antenna mount in bed but didn't want to run it thru clutch hole (already used for ham rig) all the way to the bed of the truck. So I was looking under the cab and saw a hole plug even with back door on drivers side. Pulled the back seat carpeting...

Howdy all, I have a scangauge2 and have it so that I can see the soot level and if a regen is happening (on/off indicator). The other day my soot level was coming up on 70% so I connected my Alphaobd and decided to try and do the "manual regen" function on the Alphaobd. This worked great, I...

I installed my 2m/440 radio in my glad. Decided to use velcro to mount the display on top of the rear view mirror. Radio is under the passenger seat on block of wood to get it off the floor. Mic is stored in center console. I ran the power from the battery, thru the wire chase along the...

Howdy, I made me a trail rail and added tie down points to my Glad using Unistrut. I used the half height stuff ($34 for 10 feet) along with some tie down loops from Lowes. I primed and painted it. I think it turned out perfect for my use (holding diesel fuel cans from bouncing around).

Saw this in my email today. They actually sent it in Jan but I don't check it often. I've seen some pretty cool Jurassic Park themed jeeps over the years. https://www.jeepgraphicstudio.com/products/jurassic-park-appearance-package?variant=44084940407014

I was running some wire from the engine bay into the cab and saw this wire going to a plug that wasn't connected to anything. It is located behind the drivers side cowl. My glad is a diesel if that makes any difference.

Howdy all, I've got about 1200 miles on my 23 Rubi diesel gladiator. I installed a Scanguage 2 last week and set it up to monitor turbo temp, Regen status ON/OFF, DPF temp, and DPF soot level. When I installed it a week ago my soot level was 40, after a week of around town driving my soot...

Just got back from picking up my new ordered 2023 diesel Rubi Gladiator. Overall, a great experience at Gupton Motors. We got 28 mpg on the 800 mile trip home, made a four day trip out of it and stopped a few places (Nashville, Memphis, Tunica Ms,) on the way home. My msrp+doc fee+temp tag was...

Howdy y'all, I'm awaiting on my new 23 rubi diesel that the dealer told me has been shipped. I will be wanting to get something to monitor the regens, egt temps, ect. I would also like to be able to do regens without having to risk going into limp mode if I'm on a trip and somehow have...

Ok, I've heard many say they regeared after getting bigger tires to get its drive ability back and are very happy with the results. They say that the power is back and is similar to stock. Ok, now to my questions for all the engineers and high thinkers out there. A stock gladiator can run a...

Hi, I'm a total rookie when it comes to turbos, forced induction, ect. But I saw a harbor freight add today about a 805 cubic feet per minute electric blower and started wondering if anyone has tried an electric blower instead of a turbo or traditional blower? On Summits CFM Calc page it says a...

I just ordered a rubi diesel so have been trying to learn what I can about this engine and issues. I don't know a lot about these post 2006 diesel control systems, but Im thinking what Ide be very interested in is a LIMP MODE hack. If the ERG throws a code, or the DEF pump has a problem it won't...

I hope to have a diesel rubi by the end of the year. My question to all you diesel gladiator owners is about idling. If I go to sonic and its 100+ degrees out, is it ok to idle the diesel while running the a/c to stay comfortable? And then the same question bit longer idle time? In my current...

I put a question to Bard (Google's AI engine) about the hurricane engine. Interesting, I hope its right. Paste below of the conversation. Is the hurricane engine coming to the gladiator? There is no official announcement yet, but it is very likely that the Hurricane engine will come to the...
