I bought my gladiator 5 months ago with the dual top package. It came with the Mopar "Premium" soft top. I just took off the hard top and installed the premium soft top. No problems, no leaks, and hardly any added noise. Gas mileage shows NO noticeable difference.
Stay out of car washes or driving in salt water. The top is fiberglass. Hot dirty car wash water is cycled back onto cars over and over. The hot air blowers on it don’t help either. Handling and storage needs care too. No different than the corvette, Porsche, Camaro, or other fiberglass...
Best deal is from Mopar. They provide a discount if you bought your vehicle new. Hardly anybody gets rid of their hardtop, but you could possibly get lucky.
I'm a mechanical engineer and have worked on automotive builds of many types. I really think you're barking up the wrong tree regarding a weight reduction program on this type of truck. Basically, even if you took out 500# you barely recognize a power difference. Power curves on these engines...
If you don't have the back seats being used, and do not want everything removed some days, then I agree with you. The Sunrider is a great product. I like to open the entire roof easily and fast, and I also like removing the entire soft top on warm Summer days. The soft top only takes 15-20...
I attend jeep events, car show events, and motorcycle events, and I am very selective.. I believe there is a major difference compared to this particular event. I help organize and participate in events, and they always include these critical components.
Attendees have limited access to very...
I'd be surprised if anything will compete with the Mopar Premium Soft Top for full open convertible driving in just seconds. It's pretty quiet, rainproof. and lasts for many years. The Sunrider 1/2 top is also well made, but opens up the front seat roof only, and I don't find it that easy to...
I do not recommend the Sunrider top for seasonal install/remove per season. The Sunrider only exposes the front seat passengers to open-air riding, just as the removal of the freedom panels do. Based on the money it costs for the Sunrider top, and the fact that you will be installing and...
I also like the cross-jeep friendly culture, being highly customizable, and varied usability for commute, home, family, work, social, and outdoors in all weather. Oh yes, the way things look, feel, and snap together…like well made toys.
Putting issues aside for a moment,, I’d like to know what you like best about your Gladiator. Since it provides the functions of nearly a dozen type of vehicles and it’s almost toy-like, what are the things you like best about yours?
Mine puts a smile on my face every time I get in it. it...
I am not a lawyer. You need to get legal advice and advice from your State as soon as possible, and before carrying out the following listed items.
Based on your extreme issues, you may need a multi-channel approach for attempting to get a reasonable resolution. I've bought many new vehicles...
