  1. I have no idea why I'm compelled to consider this... but I am!

    I edited the original post I made to include pictures.
  2. Gladiator gas octane?

    Probably your driving style. Has a lot to do with it. Be careful, though, I have had a couple members tell me it is impossible to get the mileage I report, questioning my veracity, I suppose. The old scenario "if I haven't experienced what you are reporting, it can't be true."
  3. Gladiator gas octane?

    I know. My only point was that no, the JT isn't an economy car, but compared to previous Jeeps, there is a reason to buy it for it's fuel savings.
  4. Gladiator gas octane?

    Stock Overland with manual transmission. Daily in town 22 MPG. Highway 65 MPH, 25 MPG.
  5. Is the factory LED light upgrade worth it?

    If you go back to the beginning of the thread, there were many posts both pro and con on bulb swap.
  6. Gladiator gas octane?

    Well, that depends on your point of view. One reason (out of many) that the JT is my first Jeep, is the great mileage it gets, compared to all Jeep prior to the JL. And, of course, it also depends on how much mods one does. And how you drive it.
  7. I have no idea why I'm compelled to consider this... but I am!

    I have an Overland so plastic bumper. I got the Mopar light brackets that bolt directly to the frame on each side. Then put a light bar of my own design between the Mopar brackets. Everything as solid as you could ask for. Here is what the brackets look like. My JT from front. Close-up of...
  8. New Gladiator "Invoiced"?

    $1495 is their standard destination charge, regardless of how far it actually goes. It is a fixed fee. Transit takes longer than one might imagine based on distance. It includes time sitting in the railyard at Toledo, loading on a unit train (all the railcars have same cargo and all going to...
  9. Thoughts on Garmin Overlander?

    Sorry, but I am new to GPS and I don't even use a smart phone. I did do some research before buying the Overlander. A lot of people on various forums said get Gaia on a tablet = a lot cheaper. But from what I understand the tablet has to have a satellite chip or it will just depend on cell...
  10. Looking for opinions on Gladiator - towing capacity and hauling?

    You did not say if you were looking to get a manual in the JT, but probably not, as you say the Wrangler is a stripped-down Sport, and you are considering getting adaptive cruise, which would not be indicative of a stripped-down model. I ordered my JT to get exactly everything I wanted, and...
  11. Thoughts on Garmin Overlander?

    Well, I got the basic idea from you (running the BC-35 forward). I was very surprised when the camera screen could be activated by just turning on the power, but when I thought about it, it is configured to work that way if you use it as back-up and wire it to the back-up lights, which of...
  12. South Florida Gladiator Club

    I am in Naples. I talked to Galeana in Ft. Myers but eventually just ordered from Naples CDRJ. I had to order to get what I wanted, and figured I'd stay local, since I had bought from them before. I bought when "Employee pricing for all" was in effect and that is what I got, no more no less. No...
  13. Thoughts on Garmin Overlander?

    Still learning how to use all the features of the Overlander, but really liking it. It is one reason I did not spring $1800 extra for the 8.4" radio. Now I have a Garmin BC-35 backup camera configured as a forward-looking trailcam. I wired the camera to one of my Aux. switches. A neat thing...
  14. Manual Transmission Club

    You shoulda specified you wanted steel gears. ;)
  15. What features would you like to see on future Gladiators?

    Pair Selec-trac T-case with manual trans. Or pair turbo-four with manual trans. Too much to ask for both.
  16. Trim packages differences? Sport S vs Overland

    Yes, love those JTO leather seats. So comfortable, even all day long.
  17. Gladiator gas octane?

    Seems awfully low. Maybe have dealer check it out? Especially since you say it does not seem to upshift properly. (I assume you have an automatic).
  18. Manual Transmission Club

    You mean the ring to allow shift into reverse? I have only seen red.
  19. Gladiator gas octane?

    Same as "knock", that is, the sounds an engine makes when pre-ignition is occurring.
  20. I'm in love...but

    I live in Florida where insurance rates are above average. In addition, my JT is insured as a business vehicle, so limits are higher. My insurance on the JT is about $1000 every six months.
