  1. The "No Complaints" Thread

    I've owned a '98 Cherokee, a '06 TJ, and now a '20 Gladiator. I have not had any issues with any of them. My experience with Jeeps has been 100% reliability - and fun! ?
  2. How long did your windshield last before cracking?

    Three years / 27K miles and counting. (Fingers crossed...)
  3. PUNK'N Gladiator JT Club

    Good pics - they really make your point. I personally think the top one is more indicative of the actual, in-person color, for someone who hasn't seen one up close and is thinking about it buying.
  4. Zero Issues with Gladiator?

    Approaching 24K miles on my 2020 Rubicon with no issues yet. Out of caution (mostly concerns over the electronic gadgets that can easily malfunction) I did opt for the Mopar extended warranty recently. After checking around (including a no-reply from the dealer I purchased the truck from) I went...
  5. PUNK'N Gladiator JT Club

    I can't read the name, but to me it is the third one from the left.
  6. Disappointed by heated steering wheel

    Mine heats up and stays. It will darn near cook your fingers if you let it.
  7. What was your ride before the JT?

    OMG, that's awesome!
  8. What was your ride before the JT?

    2004 Wrangler TJ with no frills - manual transmission, no AC, no power locks or windows, no cruise control. The Gladiator still doesn't feel like a "real Jeep" after the old-school Wrangler, but I love it!
  9. PUNK'N Gladiator JT Club

    I'm sooooooo happy I got mine when I did! When the Gladiator was (re?)introduced, I told myself I was going to wait 3-5 years until they work the kinks out and there is an active used market. Then, after about 6 months I decided to go for it - I'm not getting any younger, and if I wait until I...
  10. What I wish my Gladiator had.

    Shout out to Gatorized for the reference to DIY passive entry upgrade. I finally got around to doing that myself and it worked perfectly. Couldn't be happier!
  11. Roof removal breaks seal?

    I switched between hard and soft tops about every 6 months on my 2003 Wrangler (TJ) for years, and have continued to do so on my Gladiator since 2019, with no issues. At least none that I would say are endemic to the design or practice of swapping tops. An occasional squeak or air-gap MAYBE...
  12. PUNK'N Gladiator JT Club

    Congrats! I have the same one except black fenders. I hope you like the transition from Tacoma (or anything) to Jeep. I had a Wrangler TJ with no options (not even AC) prior to my Gladiator, so I got used to the "Jeep things". And of course the Gladiator is luxurious by comparison...
  13. Can you build a better Jeep and save money by starting with a Sport S?

    It was a close call for me. It's been a while, but as I recall, it came to about a $2500 price differential starting with the lower trim and adding the things I wanted (upgraded wheels, larger tires, leather upholstery, etc.) I opted to go with the Rubicon for resale value, even though I plan...
  14. What I wish my Gladiator had.

    Nothing new here, but: I would kill for a removable / flip / power back window on the hard top. The thing I miss most about my Wrangler is the quick windows down / back open ride when I didn't have time to remove / lower the top for my commute, between rain storms, etc. I. Hate. The. Key. Fob...
  15. Zero Issues with Gladiator?

    Got mine in October 2019. Just under 6000 miles. No issues.
  16. How much have you lost on your Jeep JT?

    They used to say figure about a 30% loss the moment you drive it off the lot. I don't know how accurate that was / is, but I think in principle it's true - the decline in value is steep in the first months / years. Think of it this way - if you went to buy a used one with say 17k miles on it...
  17. Punk'n owner's unite!

    Essentially 40 days for me - ordered 8/30 and picked up 10/10.
  18. PUNK'N Gladiator JT Club

    Looks great! I honestly thought that would be too much orange, but I like it. (I went with black top and fenders, and I like that too! :))
  19. PUNK'N Gladiator JT Club

    What brand of steps are those, and how do you like them. I'm still waiting, but I fully expect the wife to insist on some steps for my Punk'n Gladiator Rubicon. (Personally, I like watching her hike up her skirt to jump in. ;))
