I didnāt view the video but hereās my take. I believe that other brands in this class overall are outselling the Gladiator; when you bake in the single engine choice, other than the diesel, that may be why. However, I see things looking up because of more recent sales. The Gladiator sales have...
From what Iāve read, the Gladiator rescue truck typically features a Cummins ISX engine, which is a powerful option for emergency response vehicles. This engine provides the necessary horsepower and reliability for rescue operations and no tick just rattle!
As a young man growing up on the farm I worked with and respected my elders. Now that Iām one of them, a senior, that respect has been reciprocated so I believe that most still respect the experience and wisdom of the senior population, with exceptions of course. One of the first Bible verses I...
Agree with that, but in my opinion the younger drivers who are under the influence and do the same thing are typically more reckless. At least he was staying in one lane and doing the speed limit! š«¢ My guess is heās driven drunk before and obeyed traffic laws, but going down the wrong way of...
Iām not sure that a key FOB can be spoofed unless a thief has the ability to intercept the constant RFI FOB output, but I may be wrong. The way to mitigate intercepting of FOB output is of course to keep the FOB in a faraday bag, which Iām sure all are aware of. I keep my FOBs, while on person...
Climate change man!šUV rays and environmental gotchas are real, but itās up to debate really how much any change in the climate would impact the fading. Most likely just a cheaper composite material is being used; manufacturers do that.
I donāt believe āeveryoneā will automatically hate the Wrangler; but maybe some EV converts will. The fact that Stellantis is still looking to innovate, change in some way, and/or improve the Wrangler means that sales are strong in spite of the push by greenies to go electric and Iām sure that...
Itās probably all about the ongoing ādomesticationā of the Jeep brand. Many times manufacturers, in an attempt to expand their customer base, try to tweak little things like wind noise, road noise etc. The drawback for many of us that prefer Jeeps in general, warts and all, get left out. If more...
Fortunately, I havenāt had issues re: death wobble with my Jeeps but I did with my 1996 Ram; oh boy it was white knuckle time. I took my Ram to my reputable 4x4 shop where they replaced the steering stabilizer and it seemed ok for a while but then came back when I crossed the same bridge...
I donāt disagree with anything you posted on your tech sheet reproduction. Some Amsoil formulas are API certified, some are not but the reason the Signature series for example is not API certified is because of the robust reformulation Amsoil does followed by rigorous testing, itās costly to...
I agree. Sweet ride. I like the Rubi merely because that was what my 2006 was. Youāre right, the Sahara and sport are loads of fun. After having JK and JL Rubis, it shows that the TJ Rubi only offered one additional feature and that was lockers which are great but really deep trails can get ya...
Thanks for the input. Yes, practicality seems to get in the way but part of the fun is looking, it somewhat scratches that itch. Two things I still have trouble with as a āseniorā are practicality and patience. I recently went down that road with the 392 which āscratched an itchā but I ended up...
Wow, youāve had more than I have had but my favorite is and was still the 2006 TJ Rubi I had with the 4.0 I-6. I traded that in for my 2012 JK Rubi, which I traded in later for my first JL. But I remember how I really enjoyed the size of the TJ, side by side with my 2012 w/the AEV buildup the TJ...
For me itās the camaraderie, the āletās do thisā or maybe āhold my beer and watch thisā attitude. My time on the farm and in the service allowed me to continue my help your neighbor attributes. As one poster said āā¦they aināt usā. You really donāt get that in society these days and itās sorely...
