That's great, I hope it works out nicely for you! I don't have a dog in that fight, but I can say that they're a good company that provides better product support than I've experienced with Bestop. That, combined with the prices they charge, make them a complete non-starter for me. FWIW, I also...
@EZ4X4 it looks like a great product. I don't think I've seen too many hoists that mount at the hard top rain gutter locations. I have the EZ4x4 FlipTop installed, so I'd be using this with my hard top and freedom panels. Should I have any concerns with having that weight distributed on the...
What a wild ride. I read most of this thread and you have my sympathy, Bill. Not just this struggle, but also the myriad issues you're contending with. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
For what it's worth, it was cathartic for me to read someone dealing with the same issue I was. In...
I've already succeeded in wiring heated seats for my '24 Gladiator Sport using one of my AUX switches. It works great! I'm wondering now if I can run the wiring for a heated steering wheel for another one of my AUX switches without the control module. I don't see why not, but I'm wondering if...
I was driving home the other day in my fairly new Gladiator (still under 1K miles) the other day. I had the Sunrider flipped back and was driving along the county highway when I noticed something on the front passenger seat. It wasn't there before, it was big enough that I'd have seen it. It was...
This is a more easily reversible version of the Spicer FAD delete kit. Evidently, it's installed in lieu of the FAD unit on certain trims of the JL/JT (Willys, Rubicon, 392). Anyway, I managed to get a hold of one, but now I have to figure out what to do next. It sounds like JScan will allow me...
No offense taken. I've had many 4WD vehicles before. However, I haven't had a new one in a while and I've never had a new Jeep. I actually like my Gladiator so I'm very sensitive to how I treat it. My wife calls me an "automotive hypochondriac." 😅
As always, thanks again for your input, appreciate it. The front magnet was what I'd call mostly paste, whereas the rear magnet had paste with fine metal shavings, but nothing I'd say is super alarming or actual chunks.
I took the Jeep for another good jog, about 25 miles, and for part of it...
Holy smokes @Janster and @Hootbro you guys were spot on about checking my differential fluid levels! I was able to add about 8 ounces to the front diff and about 10 to the rear! Thank goodness I only have 280ish miles on them.
Check these out:
This is the front diff plug. I wiped it before I...
Thanks for the suggestion and link. I'm still debating taking the cover off this afternoon and putting in some Pennzoil full synthetic. The main reason is I'm concerned there's wear material and swarf from the FAD collar and intermediate shaft splines rubbing (I'm assuming that's what the noise...
Thank you for the information, I appreciate it. In your opinion, is it worthwhile to drain and refill the front differential and/or transfer case based on this experience? It appears I don't have a front differential drain plug like I did on my previous JK.
I recently bought a new 2024 Jeep Gladiator Sport and have been really enjoying it. I've been gradually getting miles on it, but still have under 300 miles on it. This morning, I was driving to work in the ice and snow and had a chance to use 4WD for the first time on this Jeep.. I shifted into...
