  1. Washington WTB (2) black steel 17" Rubicon spare wheels with tires

    I'm located in western WA. Only interested if they have the new tire on them. Thank you.
  2. Broken wheel, fender damage, which option would you choose?

    I hit an object in the road and destroyed a wheel, tire and my rear driver side fender. All tires have 28,000 miles on them. Should I buy a used wheel and a new Falken matching tire, then put the new spare tire on the other rear rim so the two rear tires are new, then put the used one on the...
  3. Hit an object on the highway and blew the rear tire at 65

    I did not see anything in the highway as it was very dark. Suddenly, I felt a massive hit and the Jeep almost seemed to catch air. Then, there was a sound like a gunshot as the rear tire blew and the whole Jeep was shaking. I pulled over as soon as I could and got out to take a look. The driver...
  4. BAKFlip MX4, new in box, Craigslist find

    $600, new in box. Only issue is the rubber needs to settle down a little as it has been folded for a while.
  5. Jeep died and went into autopark right as I took off from gas station

    As the title states, I filled up the tank, started the truck and took off and then immediately it died and threw itself into autopark. It slammed my body forward. At first I had no idea what had happened, almost felt like a small collision or something. The shifter was blinking in D. I put it in...
  6. Some sort of rodent eating firewall insulation - GRRRRR

    I was adding wiper fluid today when I found this. Also, there was a pine cone parked next to the battery.
  7. How in the hell are people ok with dents in their rigs?

    I ran over a tree limb and some other debris on the road that the county tractor left behind, and as I traveled over it the limb lifted off the ground and twisted and hammered against the side of my Jeep. It left 3 small dents in the passenger side front quarter panel, broke the antennae plastic...
  8. Prices collapsing on new (and used)

    I found my new 2023 Rubicon on Autotrader a year ago this month. It was listed nearly 30% off. All said and done it was 26.5% off msrp if I recall. I had to pay a few hundred here and there in dealer annoyances but I considered it "fuck you, just give me the keys" money instead of walking out...
  9. 5k mile oil changes in spite of oil life indicator still showing plenty left

    I just can't bring myself to run the oil much over 5k. I just changed it again, with 5,200+/- on it while the oil life indicator was at 41%. Anybody else stuck in this mindset? The whole "it's cheap insurance" thing is something I've subscribed to with all of my vehicles. But in this era of...
  10. Purchased a Warn VR EVO 12, steel cable

    I needed a winch for a job I am doing, and the price was right on this thing. I found it for $630 + tax local. The synthetic cable EVO 12s was over $350 more. From all the research I did, I can swap the fairlead and cable over to synthetic because there is no difference between the 12 and 12s...
  11. I'm getting what sounds like detonation between 1 and 2 shifts

    Recently my 6 months free Sirius XM trial ran out, so I have not had the radio on much. To my dismay, there is a somewhat disconcerting detonation between the 1 and 2 shifts especially. It does it at low throttle input and low rpm. I cannot always reproduce it. I want to try to record it...
  12. 6 month/6k miles review

    Got over my buyer's remorse which hounded me for the first few months. Love driving the truck. There are a few issues which will have to be resolved at some point, but not an emergency: 1) Sounds like I have a bad u-joint 2) Incessant blend door actuator clicking in dash when on floor mode...
  13. Do I need receipt for DIY oil change materials?

    Yesterday I bought a jug of 0w20 Pennzoil and a Mopar filter. I never get a receipt from O'Reilly Auto because they just keep it under my phone number. Should I go back and get the receipt?
  14. Pricing/depreciation on 2024 models versus massively discounted 2023 models

    Why would somebody buy a 2024 when they could buy a 2023 for a discount of almost $20k versus the 2024? Further, what happens to the value of the 2024 when you drive it off the lot? Because since the massive discounts of the 2023 models have bled into their used value, it would seem that there...
  15. Why does the owner's manual say no tow dollies?

    I need to haul my Gladiator 800 miles with my 1 ton diesel truck. I don't want to set it up for flat towing because this is a one off. A 7k car hauler does not have enough capacity, and the 10k trailers are just too much money for me right now. My answer is a Stehl tow dolly, but then the...
  16. Buyer's remorse

    Anybody been through it? I'm feeling it the last couple of days. While I think I got a good price, it's a lot of money. I felt this once before after buying a brand new 2012 Ram Laramie 3500. I ended up selling it off after two years and 45,000 miles, losing $5k + tt&l, which wasn't too bad for...
  17. Has anybody flat-towed the Gladiator behind a truck?

    I sold my car hauler years ago so I don't have a trailer to put my Gladiator on. I was thinking of setting it up to flat tow behind my 1 ton diesel truck. Has anybody done this? I know some people will do it behind an RV. I am wondering what it behaves like behind a truck, and if it would be...
  18. Is Jeep tracking my mileage and everything through U-Connect?

    I am not a fan of all this technology and big brother stuff. Imagine my horror when I just got an email showing the exact mileage on my new Gladiator, etc. I don't like this at all. Is there anything I can do to stop this invasion of privacy? Thank you.
  19. 3.6 Pentastar coolant temp 222 degrees at idle

    Is this normal? I mean, it's like 45 degrees outside and the Jeep is running way hotter than any vehicle I have ever owned. When I get on the freeway it cools down, but I'm wondering if there's a cooling fan issue or something. Does anybody know what the coolant temp should be at idle? Do...
  20. Impressions after first 400 miles driven

    I just picked up my Gladiator Rubicon a week ago this past Monday. I hadn't driven it too much but then did a few hundred miles the past couple days. All in all, I really enjoy driving it. First, I find the seat to be supremely comfortable. And all the controls are very close and handy. I am...
