  1. WHY????

    It's probably unnecessary for most users, but if you do really wheel hard and do really roll hard, it's important. Especially for a bolt-on cage that still ties into the body sheet metal. A really hard flop, or multiple rolls could compress the dash structure, thereby weakening the rest of the...
  2. Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

    I wouldn't be surprised if the diesel is slowing things down. I hadn't considered that before. I ordered 12/19, received by VON and VIN on 12/21 but it's still waiting on all of the parts. I didn't order too many special things other than the diesel. It's not a huge deal for me, as we have...
  3. BillieBars Bed Bars - Are they right for your Gladiator?

    Kayaks are pretty light, even if bulky. Each one probably weighs 50-70 lbs at most. I would concur that if you could hit a 300 lb rating (500 for a moonshot) that would be awesome. It might require some triangulation of the uprights to the crossbars, and maybe some ties between F&R...
  4. BillieBars Bed Bars - Are they right for your Gladiator?

    I could be crazy, but it seems like having the cross bars high enough to clear the top of the roof with the traditional Thule or other brand of rooftop kayak holder clamped to them would work? Our recreational kayaks are 10’ as well so there would be 2-3’ sticking out past the rearmost crossbar...
  5. Experience Using Mopar Trailer Brake Controller

    I have a '21 JTRD on order and intend to install a trailer brake controller. I've read all of the reviews about the various controllers posted here, and the issues with the Mopar controller integrating into the factory electronics. I've seen the comments about the cheap feel of the Mopar...
  6. BillieBars Bed Bars - Are they right for your Gladiator?

    I like the idea here. A product suggestion would be to make bolt-on vertical extensions to elevate the cross bars above the top of the hard top for Kayaks. I haven't seen a rack setup that is quite as modular as yours, and it seems like a fairly simple set of uprights would do the trick here...
  7. Lease Residuals

    That is actually my fall-back plan. I just wanted to be somewhat educated beforehand. Thanks for the tips!
  8. Lease Residuals

    Thank you. She has surgery scheduled for this Thursday and we're hoping they can remove it all and she can be on the path to a speedy recovery. Yes. I got a couple of different quotes from different dealers for the order and signed an agreement before the order was placed. Of course, if I...
  9. Will there be a 392 Gladiator? If not.........

    I debated waiting for the Hemi version to appear before deciding, but I’ve been waiting since May 2019 already. I drove the very first 3.6 Rubi that showed up in town and knew spending $45-$50k on a V6 gasser wasn’t going to satisfy me. I’ve been driving a Duramax for 6 years, so the torque of a...
  10. Lease Residuals

    Question for thought. I ordered my rig and have pricing already agreed to. However I’m curious about leasing for two reasons: 1- What if the ecodiesel is a giant turd with regard to reliability and I want out? A lease seems like the low-risk solution so long as the warranty remains in effect...
  11. Rubicon Diesel Frakenlifts?

    I would wait until a reputable company develops one, then grab some buddies and beers on a weekend to do it yourself. Off road shops go one of two directions: 1: Glorified bolt-on specialists. I would personally never spend my money at one of these. 2: Full-zoot fab shops that can do...
  12. Where are my Accountants at?

    Not an accountant, but that was my first major. 18 hours in I realized that although I was good at it, it was boring to me. I switched to Economics because it's like a meteorologist. You make a forecast, it's wrong, and then you explain why you told them in your presentation why it could be...
  13. Safety Packages?

    I didn’t see any such savings when I quoted insurance with and without the features through Progressive. It was only about an $80-$90/yr savings. It could be because we have a teen driver, but who knows. And before anyone says anything about teens needing the safety features, it isn’t their...
  14. Safety Packages?

    Well I placed my order without them. All solid arguments for them, but I just couldn’t justify it. Coming from a 7’ tall, 22’ long 3/4 ton diesel, the Gladiator is like a Hot Wheel! ?
  15. Safety Packages?

    Well I'm placing my order today...without the safety packages. Cost was a bit of a concern, but not the primary driver. I test drove one yesterday and didn't like the way the ACC worked because when it came up on another car I found that I was stuck behind them while other traffic went around...
  16. Critique My Options List

    This is exactly the type of info I was looking for! I’ll uncheck the floor mats and block heater boxes for sure. The trail rail solution is legit. I had seen that thread but hadn’t read enough to see that post. Thanks!
  17. Critique My Options List

    The mud terrain tire is a free option. They come standard with the ATs but you can get MTs for $0.
  18. Critique My Options List

    I probably should have stated those two options are must haves for me. I trash cloth, and have gotten spoiled by my heated leather in my current truck for the last 6 years. I’ll never go back. ?
  19. Critique My Options List

    Ordering a '21 Diesel Rubicon and looking for opinions on this list of options. I'm open to adding some options, but only if it's something that just can't or shouldn't be done aftermarket. 8.4” Radio Group - AEK Aux Switches - AM2 Black 3-Piece Hard Top - HT1 Cold Weather Group - ADE Engine...
  20. Safety Packages?

    Several years ago I bought a Subaru for my then wife and didn’t get the safety stuff because of cost, it interfered with the roofline and seemed like an afterthought, and it seemed unnecessary. Since we wound up getting a divorce I’m especially I signs spend the extra on it. LOL! The bumper and...
