  1. Using brakes to turn sharper like the new bronco and LC200

    Hey all, if you are interested in having this feature then you should email z automotive. I emailed them asking if they planned to add this to the JL Mini and they said it just doesn't have the interest. This could prove to be substantial for the Gladiator.
  2. Missouri $400 Rugged Ridge Arcus Bumper with Overrider

    Check 4wp, it’s $467 new right now ready to ship with the over rider.
  3. Car and Driver has posted a 10,000 mile update to their long term Gladiator review. Pretty negative

    I too am underwhelmed by the turning radius which is something Jeep should have emphasized. Though, it’s nearly the same on paper as the taco despite a longer wheelbase. But I wasn’t saying it doesn’t have faults. Just that the truck doesn’t need to be floored, nor does it average better city...
  4. Anyone developing an aftermarket soft top?

    my thoughts exactly. Maybe since it had the door surrounds the rear window from soft top can be used
  5. Jeep JT 4xe Weight/Payload/Towing

    my payload is 1221 lbs, but if Jeep maximized the total capacity of each part they could only raise it 600 lbs. so adding 800 pounds would drop payload on a truck to 1000 pounds or less without using different axles. So I think you’re right that they’d have to go more extreme than on the JL if...
  6. Jeep JT 4xe Weight/Payload/Towing

    They'd need new axles for that. My GAWR combined is 6850 lbs. The gross vehicle rating (gvwr) is just a reflection of the weakest link. The axles would be the weakest link throwing on 800 lbs of 4xe equipment. My GVWR is 6250, so 800 extra pounds and maxing out the axles would mean my payload...
  7. Car and Driver has posted a 10,000 mile update to their long term Gladiator review. Pretty negative

    "One-hundred-percent throttle is needed to merge, to climb, to pass, to get anywhere." My JTR will do over 90mph easily without hitting full throttle. I don't know what parachute they are towing around, but mine averages about 20mpg running 75mph according to my 700 mile trip to Death Valley and...
  8. So at the end of the day why the Gladiator? Pickup is better

    Body wise the gladiator is nearly 17" narrower and you can remove the fenders (body is about 63" wide from my tape measure). The PW is larger than its track width while the gladiator body is confined well within its tire track. Anyone that ever saw one would know and understand this fact, and to...
  9. Anyone developing an aftermarket soft top?

    Here it is... https://www.bestop.com/products/header-extended-safari-cable-style-bikini-top-jeep-2020-2021-gladiator-requires-soft-top-door-surrounds/ I dm’d the guy but he wants a local pickup.
  10. Gasser real world fuel economy

    I drive normally, but I don’t gun it or slam on my brakes. So I go the speed of traffic but I’m not racing up to it Trail recon had a guy on his Gladiator MPG regear video that claims he averaged 20mpg on his JL on 40” tires. No racks or lights to reduce aero though. also, my Rubi is getting...
  11. Anyone developing an aftermarket soft top?

    Bestop has something similar to what I want. But I need the soft top door surrounds which is like $700 for everything. I just need wind protection for the freeway and light rain protection.
  12. Anyone developing an aftermarket soft top?

    Personally I just want plastic trim to go around the top over the doors with buttons to snap a soft top over the whole thing and be water resistant. Plus a snap in rear window. doesn’t need to be so complicated and it’s insane no one is making something. depending on the price maybe the suntop...
  13. Gasser real world fuel economy

    When I first brought mine home it had an average of 13 even. Got back from a trip where it shot up to 17.3... Only been driving on the streets since then and it's bounced from 16.8 to 17.1 (current). I'm stock with 900 miles. My 2nd to last car, 2013 Subaru WRX averaged 19mpg and took premium...
  14. looking to join the jeep fam

    Exactly, a sport s max tow is starting at $40k at dealers near me with no upgrades at all. I got my Rubicon for just a little more than what I'd have paid for an equivalent Sport S Max Tow. There are a lot of Rubicons, or were, sitting on dealer lots with some priced quite aggressively. I was...
  15. 4xe TEST DRIVE

    I googled 4xe fuel economy in hybrid mode and saw that it's 20mpg. So it's not worth it as a hybrid for me, but the power is cool and extra 20 miles of cheap range is nice...
  16. Best Deals at Dealerships here in Socal

    I bought mine from Huntington Beach Jeep. They had it advertised as $6900 off MSRP plus $2000 Jeep incentives. According to the invoice spreadsheet, that's 6.8% and 10.6% below invoice. Though my truck had over 60 miles on it from presumably a lot of test drives and it had a build date of 11-20...
  17. GLADIATOR BACK WINDOW LEAK

    Thank you for this! I checked and mine has a gap in the weather stripping, maybe 1/5th of an inch long, on the top side middle of the window. I am going to put a dab of silicone in there to seal it up.
  18. Mopar LED Headlights

    I don't even like the halo running lights, but in the settings turning off running lights only affects the fender lights which I do like. I'd prefer to have solid orange fender lights that blink when I indicate.
