  1. Why does it bother me?

    So when I ordered my Rubicon I should have told my dealer, (I want a jeep gladiator with front and rear electronic lockers, an electric disconnecting sway bar, different rims, upgraded axels ect?) They would most likely reply oh you want a Gladiator Rubicon. Lol
  2. JT/JL Clutch and Flywheel explained by ACT

    Ordered mine today. Awaiting confirmation email with tracking info. I'm looking forward to experiencing the difference.
  3. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    I plan to order this week. Being we're in planting mode I'm going to have a trusted near by shop do the install.
  4. JT/JL Clutch and Flywheel explained by ACT

    Thank you for all the valuable information. My truck only has 1,400 miles on it but with the recall and poor behavior of the clutch I plan to replace soon. It feels wrong to replace a clutch that isn't worn out but I've done it once before and it was in a ram. With the tall only option 3.42...
  5. Trail Rail System question

    I recently mounted my highlift jack in my bed using the front rail and it irritates me that they make them just a little too narrow to use ministrut hardware. On my 75 f250 I made a similar system years and years ago with unistrut.
  6. Squeaking Noise at Low Speed ??

    I didn't read through the whole thread but had something similar on my wife's F150. I took it to two dealers which said they couldn't find the issue and everything was OK. Pressing the brake had no effect on the noise. I put the rear axle on jack stands blocked the front tires and put it in...
  7. Stop sale on manual transmission Gladiators (clutch assembly may overheat, causing a fire)

    They did similar things to the HD rams the last few years the manual was available. I bought a 2018 ram because it was the last year for a full size in the states would offer a manual. Ram only offered 1 rear end gear ratio 3.42 I think it was for all SRW HD trucks. You can get away with that in...
  8. Frame bent: New Chevy Colorado ZR2 broken like a pencil ✏️

    I have driven the 8 speed rams HD and 1500 rams. They're better for sure but to me even the best auto is a polished turd at best. Just my preference. I don't like how autos behave I don't like that there are times when you mash the gas and its like they're having an argument with themselves...
  9. Frame bent: New Chevy Colorado ZR2 broken like a pencil ✏️

    Yes while they are better than the ford 10 speed they still have occasional erratic behavior, lazy shifts and all the various other things I don't like about shifting being automated. Honestly I'm not really a fan of all the electronics in today's vehicles anyway. My favorite vehicle to drive is...
  10. Frame bent: New Chevy Colorado ZR2 broken like a pencil ✏️

    As a die hard manual transmission fan I'll take a poorly executed one over the best automatic in the world any day of the week. I have a 2022 f250 tremor and I detest the 10 speed auto in it. To be fair to it though I hate any automatic and can't stand that we no longer have a manual option in...
  11. 2023 Gladiator Rubicon without plastic molle panel behind driver and passenger seat?

    I have a line item for behind seat rear storage too but I figured that was referring to the rear seats.

  13. Rival News: Next-Gen 2024 Tacoma to Offer Turbo 4cyl or Hybrid Engine Only. No More V6

    If that’s true it’s a choice Jeep made. It’s not like manual transmissions are hard to make or new technology. They chose to put a light duty manual in the gladiator I’m sure there are options on the market for similar or most likely lower cost (than the 8 speed) that could handle more power...
  14. Rival News: Next-Gen 2024 Tacoma to Offer Turbo 4cyl or Hybrid Engine Only. No More V6

    I absolutely despise automatic transmissions. I have a 2021 f250 tremor with the 10 speed and I like everything about the truck except the automatic. Sometimes it shifts well other times lazy and almost feels confused about which gear it’s trying for. The lowered tow and haul rating for the...
  15. Omg Have You Checked Your Lower Ball Joint Nut

    I haven’t had any noise but after seeing this thread it made me want to check. Mine is a 23 rubicon and it looks like all the front end components had multiple checks done.
  16. 6sp MT Rubicon gearing

    Really appreciate the info. My current plan is to regear to 4.88 and switch to 35s when the 33s wear out on the stock suspension. I’ll most likely end up with 2” lift and 37s. It’s my first Jeep. I kinda want to enjoy the ride / journey and not go full tilt out of the gate. I’m not new to off...
  17. 6sp MT Rubicon gearing

    Really good comparison between the two. Thanks for posting. Off topic a little but what size lift are you running to run your 37s? Can you still fit in a 7' tall door? I was looking today (haven't measured yet) and there is quite a bit of room from the top of my gladiator on stock 33s and the...
  18. BlackFriday + CyberMonday deals thread

    Thanks for posting this. ? I've been waiting to see if Next Venture was going to have a sell. I'm going to spend around 2k now. I'm getting the 8274 Adventure Series bumper, FAD skid and a badlands winch when the black Friday discount for the winch is active.
