Long story short, the $65k Gladiator with a planned Q4 $42k 392 upgrade didn’t make it past the accountant. I see the writing on the wall with 15% discounts and it’s a matter of time (Q4 23 - Q1 24) until the used / wholesale market dumps the value. I sold it back to the dealer taking...
Has anyone had what sounds like a plastic on metal rattle in this area and if so what was loose?
So far, I’ve checked the windshield bolts, all trim screws, grab handle bolts, sun visors and plastic headliner and all are secure. I’ve not ruled out loose wires but not much is loose behind here...
I’m looking at picking up one of these two compressors and am looking for real world experience with either.
ARB CKMA12 - 100psi / $380 / basic install kit and plumbing
VEVOR air compressor - 150psi / $100 w/ coupon / basic install kit and plumbing
Comparing the two, they seem to have the...
These videos are a bit long but the science, geometry and technical detail are worth the watch.
Watch the Rubicon video first then the Mojave video to keep the context on order.
I like to track fuel mileage, operating costs and track trends to anticipate issues before they arise.
This is my 1000 mile history on my 2023 Gladiator Rubicon 3.6L - all stock.
For completeness sake, these are the items added to the Jeep:

I’ve got Harbor Freight Apex 12,000 pound winch with synthetic rope. It free spools out no problem and spools in perfectly. I tried spoiling out under power and no go. The solenoid clicks but the drum doesn’t move.
Anyone have this problem and solve it? This would be a learning opportunity...
It’s a sad day.
The Schrockworks 1/4” plate winch bumper I paid $200 for and have had on 4 Jeeps doesn’t fit my 2023 Gladiator Rubicon. I’ve never owned a Rubicon and the bumper doesn’t clear the sway bar disconnect. Granted, the bumper was for non-Rubicon models.
Now to find an aftermarket...
Need some reviews and recommendations from those that have 3” - 3.5” Clayton, Metalcloak or Rock Krawler lifts on their non-Rubicon diesel rigs running 37’s.
I’m looking at these kits and configurations…

Long story short my daughter is looking to sell her 2022 Grand Cherokee and pick up a Gladiator as her needs and wants have changed. She’s in the hospitality business (catering and event planning) and is looking at buying a truck or getting a hitch installed and buying an enclosed trailer.
We...

I’ve got an Overland diesel and will be lifting it in a few weeks and will add lockers and gears while it’s there. To control the Eaton e-lockers, the popular and quick method appears to tie into the aux switches. This is fine, but all my aux...
A tow strap got caught under my wheel and when I backed up it tightened and left a folded dent in the bed. What’s the easiest way to get behind the outer panel to pop this out?
Thanks in advance!
2022 Gladiator EcoDiesel - approximately 2700 miles - North Texas - ran (still runs) perfect but had a time starting this morning in 9* weather with a wind chill in the negative teens. To level set, I have the cold weather package, had the block heater plugged in overnight, have fuel treatment...
I’m admittedly stingy when committing anything to my aux switches and try to maximize the power each has available to them. I’ll be wiring four 4” cube spot lights (rated for 12A total) mounted to the cowl to one of the 15A switches this weekend. I might wire up two more on the bumper but I’d...
2022 Overland Diesel
$1000 is burning a hole in my pocket to spend on Jeep goodies and am at a loss.
I’ve got all the standard kit - front winch bumper, winch, recovery gear, Rubicon sliders, lights (LED’s, ditch, spot), emergency gear, mobile HAM radio and tools.
I’m passively interested in...
This winch is a bad mutha…
I got it mounted up to my Schrockworks bumper and 1/4” plate steel winch plate. I tensioned the synthetic rope and when snugging up the hook against the fairlead the plate flexed and I could visibly see the winch rock forward an eighth of an inch.
Of course, I’m...
