My memory back in the 80’s when I started off-roading in East Texas. I remember when 33’s were the normal upgrade size. 36’s (which are rare now) were considered big, and 44’s were the extreme. I honestly don’t remember seeing 35’s and 37’s then. I did see a few 40’s, but they were extremely rare.

It seems odd to me that they are trying to get you to stay in the Gladiator. I would think they would WANT you to buy a new Dodge truck. If you like your Gladiator then it sounds like a good deal to me.

I’ve always driven EVERYTHING like I stole it. Even straight off the lot. Break it in like you’re going to drive it is my opinion. A lot of people think I’m crazy for that. To each their own. Every vehicle I have ever had has lasted, and given me no major problems running them like that. All of...

They set this kit up to repair the cam/lifter issue without having to replace the engine. That’s a lot cheaper for them.

I’m with you on not trying to cause problems, or animosity. If I’m not mistaken in the video when he tried to order a cam there were 12,000 on back order. That sounds like a LOT more than just a few percent that are failing. Even taking into account how many they would order to have in supply...

Thanks, I didn’t know that. Too bad they lumped them together. That’ll definitely make it harder to win. I didn’t know the gen 1 was having problems too, except for the oil filter unit. 😂

I’m with the mechanic. I can’t believe there hasn’t been a class action lawsuit on this. There is obviously a problem with this set up. At least have replacement parts available. Curious, was the older 3.6 engines doing the same thing? I had a 2013 JKUR with the 3.6 that had 117,000 miles on it...

I’m wondering if there will be a new Gladiator in the future? Have the sales been good enough to keep it around, or is this the only style there’ll be?

I was talking about a Gladiator from Rubitrux is $105,000 https://www.rubitrux.com/2025-jeep-gladiator-jt-rubicon-425-5-7l-v8-preorder.html

A gladiator with 5.7 in it is $105,000. Way, way, way out of my price range. The prices in the JL’s are just as bad, if not worse.

I imagine someone out there has the length of the 6.4 Hemi. Maybe they’ll let us know for sure what it is.

After extensive searching that was the only numbers I could find for dimensions of the 6.4, they might not be correct. Hell, it could be the dimensions for the crate being sent. The numbers were on https://www.modernmusclextreme.com/p-105-64l-hemi-crate-engine-by-mopar.aspx

I know this doesn’t take pulleys, larger radiators, intercoolers, etc. into account, but here we go. The sizes I am giving are for engines only. 6.4 Hemi dimensions: 42x42x48 3.0 Hurricane dimensions: 33.9x29x33.4 So in theory, the 3.0 should be able to fit into the JT. We all know the 6.4 fits...

I agree with your wife. I like it too! I understand what you’re saying. Adjustable might be your best bet. Especially the ability to change from normal driving, towing, back roads, and off road.

It’s all according to the color of the vehicle for me. They look great on the blacked out Gladiator. On my Sarge green I chose the red, I like the way they stand out, instead of blacked out. Just my personal choice. I wouldn’t have a problem running tinted if I felt it fit the color of my...

Why don’t you use your fox 2.5’s that came stock on your Mojave? Oh wait…it’s a Rubicon with Mojave orange, you blasphemer, you! The horror! 😂 All seriousness, beautiful Jeep! I have used the Bilstein 5100’s on numerous vehicles and have always been happy with them. I have a set on my dually...

The problem as I see it with the younger generation, isn’t really a problem, except they don’t buy Jeeps like we had to. I know here in my part of Texas the younger generation is going off road just as much as we were. Now they have a LOT more options than we had. You go to any 4 wheel park...

I looked up the 2024 ram 1500 gas mileage. This is straight ICE. This is the new body style not the classic. The average it gets with the 3.6 with 4wd is 21 mpg. The average it gets with the 5.7 with 4wd is 19 mpg. The best overall is the 3.6, 2wd hybrid with 23 mpg. The worst the 5.7 makes is...

Yes sir. Thank you.

What really blows me away is it says the emissions for the 3.6 and 5.7 are the same per gallon. If that’s the case then why are they getting rid of V8’s? I guess because the V8 is less efficient.
