2 oil changes with it so far on my Gladiator currently at 45k miles. 1 oil change on my 122k mi 4.2 1989 YJ. So far no issues with either engine. The YJ is about due again but no leaks so far or oil burning (didn't burn before but has had an on and off again rear main seal leak since I have...

LOL didn't realize someone was forcing you to read this entre thread, blink twice if you are in danger...

https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2025/08/19/florida-charter-captain-killed-in-sanford-road-rage-shooting-police-say/ To summarize from multiple news articles: Hall (deceased), swerved at the Harris' BMW after he passed him because he was driving slow, started all this? Then when they...

Over on the Ram TRX forum there is a dealer advertising 2026 Hellcat Durangos at $76k and saying with Stellantis' current pricing they seem to be leaning more towards volume versus mark up like recent years. So maybe, possibly, hopefully if a hemi does come to the Gladiator it will be...

Well... people have claimed I drive like a grandpa 😆

As long as you're happy, that is all that matters as it is your rig. Just surprising to hear especially with the all idling factored in but after another 10 second google search you are not alone although the minority with that efficiency and similar set ups. Makes me second guess what I would...

I hear ya, I debated 38s before I went with 37s. Weight plays a significant role when picking tires. I had 35 KM3s and then 35 Good Year Ultra-terrains, both heavier ~75 lbs and ~70 lbs vs the c rated K02s ~65 lbs, MPG is the best so far with the year I have had the 37s on. I debated the...

Show me your RPM at 70 mph, I will show you what your real MPG. That is why I said hand calculated in my post... Not what my dash says... But figured I would show and tell as well while changing my oil: Granted my averages creep up to 21-22 mpg when I drive from MN to MO, 1600 miles round...

Stock 3.73s and C rated 37" BFG K02s gasser... No regrets. I get a legit hand calculated 18.1-18.4 mpg week after week, fill up after fill up (until winter gas comes back). My daily commute is 50/50 city/hwy around 40 miles round trip. I've never pulled out in traffic and wished for more and...

Thanks! The TRX was a blast and I hear you, that is why I ended up with my Gladiator. The TRX was over 90 inches wide front and back, turning and visibility sucked. The Gladiator is the perfect size to me as well. The 505HP AMW swap is tempting for sure, I just have a hard time spending $40k...

I got 12mpg on E85 in mine with a smaller pulley, port blower and other power mods, just depends on how hard you press the skinny pedal. My point is you can get more truck and more horsepower for less money. Plain and simple. The AMW4x4/ DRC deal isn't a good value at its current price point...

The AMW4x4 and DRC 5.7 deal is tempting but even at $31k installed I might as well get a used TRX at that price point. Sticker for my truck is $46k before everything I have done to it, add on a 5.7 install and I am in used TRX territory with a lot less power and no sweet supercharger whine and...

Over two years and counting, zero issues. Purchased 6/7/2023, they were the first thing I bought for my Gladiator because I was not a fan of how far the stock taillights stuck out. However I am well aware I am the minority here when it comes to no issues with these but I am thankful for that!

I am just assuming based off reviews online maybe someone who it installed could chime in here? I have debated getting it on the back half of the top just to have it black along with the Sky365 with black now.

The haze from the Canadian wild fires keeps the UVs at bay here in MN I suppose. It does have 20% UV Tint installed as well. Heat wise I don't feel like it is any different than the black freedom panels, maybe if you had the insulated headliner installed before it would be more noticeable though.

The difference is not as noticeable in pictures as it is in person and honestly not super noticeable in person either, I just notice it. The sticker itself doesn't bother me as much as the placement of it, while sitting in the drivers seat when I look up its right there. Had it been put on the...

Absolutely! I will take pics tonight when I get home and will weigh it as well vs the freedom tops because after mentioning it earlier now I am curious.

Well I caved and bought one, have had it on for a week. So far I really like it. We have had some hot and humid days 90+ here in MN and I don't feel like the heat is any more or less than the freedom panels. I also don't feel like the noise is any more than the freedom panels, maybe a bit...

12 hour drives from Minnesota to Missouri and back in my Sport S, no issues. However everyone is different as far as comfort levels go unfortunately. The truck itself rides like a tank with the lift and 37s but the Bilstein shocks have made a difference as far as that goes. The seats are fine...
