Ya'll are all fun to read about!
I wanted a Diesel Mojave in 21.
My first Gladiator drive was a sport JT 3.0D with NADA. Not even heated seats and mirrors. At 65yo in Seattle, oh hell no. Did have a nice price. I didn't even know what I didn't know yet. Just been reading about the 3.0...
Oh, the Jeeps!
With CJ-5, once the software top would no longer snap in place, spring, summer, anything but rainy winter-biki top ssolo. During the colder/wet season, Bikini top with soft top doors only. Carried a blue tarp to cover the jeep when it wasn't moving. CJ-8 scrambler, top off with...
Snazzy is going to get a new NextVentrure Adventure series alluminum bumper and Badlands 12k Apex winch, HF had on sale for $399 last week. Funny how, one purchase leads to another. I've been a really good boy for Santa, busy paying back the loan from the Moab trip in Sep. Then I see that add...
Isn't that what truck bed paint is for? Covering the corrosion after you sand it? Its a jeep. Maybe they can make some aluminum diamond plate like we use to put on the cj's!
With both my 21 Rubi Jlu & Jt: I purchase one of the Blue Def jugs at Costco usually or parts store when the gauge says 1/2 empty/full (strait up). It takes the whole jug and the gauge goes all the way over to the right. I Never really worried about how many miles. When I first purchased the...
Speaking of....location....location.....location, they have that really cool new battery holder do-hicky that holds the battery and I think moves the little battery right up on top... Genisis jl/jt real cool. If you dont want to delete and dont want to dig for it ever again.

Not to sound ignorant, where can I get the actual best books on my jeep eco diesels. I read lots here and there but I know someone must know where to start the library. I've got a 21 JLU 3.0 with 70k and a new to me 21 JT 3.0 with 40k. Both rubicons. Im OK with stock till when ever. Just want to...
This forum has a lot of great info on temps for the Diesel depending on what you are doing.
Pulled a trailer to Moab this last fall wth my new to me 21-3.0d-JT and ran some late night legs and tried to keep the speed at 70+ish limited by eng/trans temps. Daytime 60-70 were ok. Slowed down on a...
Put them on my stock 21 3.0d rubi jlu last year when I got tired of the whine at 65k on the falkins mts. I wanted the extra height from terrain as i have another 40k on the aftermarket warrenty. The At4s seemed very nice so far.
I thru the Mt's on my (new to me) 21 3.0d jt for a tow job to Moab...
Swegian,
Sorry to hear Jeeps are on the list of your local theft gang. I know the neighborhood well. We loved our 3500sqft house built in 1910 on 6th and Wensley.
With 3 late model Jeeps it would perturb me a lot if one was targeted. We lived there 1996-2003. I worked in border enforcement...
SWEGIAN
I've been happy with it. Never riden in 3.6 JT or JLU, only the Mojave in 21. Wife has the 2.0T and loves it. Reading here has left me smarter than just driving it round. When the dealer got those early Mojave's they didn't know stuff like reinforced Frame. That would have been a real...
You Mojave Guys!
I was going to be one in 21. I knew I wanted a Gladiator. I missed my 1986 CJ8 since i sold it in 94.
But, I'd committed to the new Eco diesel jeep! First I drove the only JT diesel on the lot. A Sport jt with literally NO upgrades. Not even heated seat/str-wheel.
Next...
Used that type of MC carry for years. My dad built one that hinged down at the center around the 2" bar insert. (No need for a ramp or to lift bike on carrier) Back in them ol days most dirt bikes (scramblers) had hard flip down bike stands besids the kickdown type. "U" Bolts were positioned...
Gas to Diesel. Life past-30 years ago cj5 & cj8 (loved them) they left family due to Wife's injuries in a non jeep related auto accident in 93. In 2020, wife sees Bikini Blue JLU, just happened to be a 2.0t. (God had a plan, she loves it). I held out another year, and after reading all about...
I too just got 35×11.5-17 AT4's.
Love em!
I was sliding around when the rain first started here in the PNW. Breaking the rear end loose at 60 on I-5 just speeding up to pass was strike one. Almost sliding off a hairpin turn was second and last straw. Live up in Bellingham but drive all over...
Welcome to the group that gives lots of advice. Much to learn from the folks here. Sometimes strait up need now. Other times, oh....I remember that thread....
Beautiful Truck, the only one you can ride with the top off without modifying it.
American Adventure labs has this nice light holder for the front bumper.
For now, not planning on adding a winch to the glad, both Jlu's have them.
So always at least one winch when were out. Try to always go minimum of Two.
