That kit will fit all Gladiators, doesn't matter the model.
It is not compatible with a Sport JL Wrangler, which has the smaller front axle.
Yep, on the modern engines, the electronics are the big issue. Get water in them and no go.
Haven't seen an issue with the coil in plug, they're pretty well sealed.
That's all post trail maintenance. If your 4x4 is in good shape, you won't have issue during the trail run. However, once you...
We have this mounted to the rollbar in our JK, not sure if they will fit behind the rear seat of a Gladiator. Very secure and it covers up the takedown pin, trigger group and mag release too.

They take some work, but they're not bad.
The best things you can do to make it easier:
Install them on a warm day or in a warm garage with everything at room temperature.
Warm the seat covers themselves, so they are a little more stretchy.
Have some plastic interior trim tools to help push and...
The ARB Air Lockers are the top end of aftermarket lockers and are what many people swap to when they are replacing a broken or worn out factory locker.
They are very simple in design and use air pressure to lock in. They are also very strong and, if you keep the gear oil clean, have a long...
For an inexpensive winch, a good bet is the Smittybilt X20, They've proven to be a decent winch and they have a good warranty:

For a more $$$ you can get the X20 with the synthetic rope...
There is a middle ground.
Don't go ballistic Karen on them. Keep it short sweet and simple with Why they would void or deny your warranty or claim??
If they say it's because you have a tuner, tell them you don't have a tuner, you have a programmer. The Flashcal by itself does not tune the...
Yes, regearing is definitely worth it.
Most people don't notice a huge difference going to 35s, but 37s can really make your JT seem a little sluggish com[pared to stock.
We put one on the Giveaway Gladiator.
It was the first time I've had a chance to mess with one up close in person and it's a nice tent. One of the biggest things that stands out to me was they come fully loaded, you don't have to add a bunch of options like the thicker mattress or condensation...
Base model Sport climate controls look like this:
No defroster button or markings.
Defroster plug is behind this panel:

@NACLS6, there seems to be a difference whether it is a Sport or Sport S model. Possibly the stripped down base Sport models don't have the wiring and the Sport S models do. All the Sport S models I've seen have the wiring. Haven't seen a base Sport model yet.
The easiest way to tell in person...
With the 5.38s, this Gladiator feels pretty punchy..... You just MASH the pedal and GO! And it easily does 70-80 down the highway.
A supercharger would be pretty cool, so would a Hemi swap, we've talked about doing them.
We also discussed that whoever wins might appreciate the reliability of a...
Ready to make your non-functional hood a little more functional?
We got the chance to install a set of the S&B Filters Hood Scoops on a Rubicon hood last Friday and shot a how-to install video:
S&B Filters Air Hood Scoop System...
We finished up the Mopar Hardtop install video:
We then install a Bestop Sunrider in place of the Freedom panels, it makes enjoying the sun with a hardtop super easy and you don't have to worry about storing the Freedom panels in your Gladiator.
