Dee Zee cross bars came in. Just waiting for my TTT (tonneau top tent) to come in now! These things are pretty stout; solid aluminum towers and the Dee Zee hex rails are awesome.. I also have the Dee Zee hex rail roof rack on my JL. Big fan of them. This setup leaves me plenty of room to...

I swear to god, every time I open anything up there's at least two dead bees inside of it. Those mfers get into everything. I JUST opened up my plastic bumper to transplant the black tow hooks into my knockoff steel bumper and I've had the thing for, like.. less than two weeks and it was full...

There's some good deals out there, I just ordered a RTT from Roofnest for over 30% off.

I was really tempted by the 2024 Willys before I pulled the trigger on a Nighthawk.. Willys is more off-roady with the rear locker and mud tires (both would be wasted on me), and it has a few more lux items (LED lights, passive entry, automatic headlights, leather steering wheel)... but those...

I have one JL that's been in the shop for over a month (still in the shop) for electrical problems, and I just traded in a JL that itself had over a month of time in the shop for various issues. The only other vehicle I've owned that has had as much time in the shop as my JLs was a DeLorean I...

Roofnest Meadowlark RTT was $500 off for labor day weekend, so I pulled the trigger on that one (lightweight and sets up way easier than most softshells). Also on the way is a pair of Dee Zee t-slot retractable tonneau cross bars to mount it to and a rugged liner drop-in bedliner on the way.

I agree with you, the vast majority of bumpers look like they came from a F-117 parts bin. I think if you want a decent looking aftermarket bumper with some semblance of safety factored in, you're probably looking at a list that starts and ends with ARB.

Got my fauxpar bumper installed. $275 on Amazon. It came kind of beat up (wasn't packaged well), so I ended up painting the hoop with a can of rustoleum tractor paint in gloss black for a bit of a nod to the gloss black accents that were on the plastic bumper I took off. I kept the stock tow...

Installed a retractable tonneau with t-slots... getting ready for some crossbars and a RTT.

Man, I hear that. My JL is having all manner of battery/alternator issues and the single ambiguous voltage meter has not been helpful. Since the main+aux batteries are joined most of the time, that reading will be both batteries combined unless the vehicle is running, then it'll be the...

I don't know for a fact, but I think the new Uconnect 5 that is in these 2024's has considerably less functionality than previous models, and instead leans into CarPlay/Android Auto to do the heavy lifting. For example, if my phone is connected to Android Auto, the "voice command" button will...

I was kind of confused when I first saw it too, but I think it's "sport tuned" rather than "the suspension from a Sport model". It seems to go hand-in-hand with the 20" wheels.

Them steps are in my future ... they did wonders to protect the doors from gravel and mud spray on the JL.

It's like a High Altitude on the outside, probably including suspension, but with rock rails and A/T tires.... Otherwise, it's an automatic Sport S (sans automatic headlights and leather steering wheel) with the axles (not gears) and LSD from the max tow pkg. Kind of a freaky mix of stuff.

I'm not sure that's much of an issue out where we are. That being said, if a thief defeated the proximity key tech to steal the vehicle, the proximity locks are saving a smashed window if the vehicle were recovered.

When I think "sport suspension" I think stiffer/shorter springs, but I have no idea what that means in terms of a Gladiator. High Altitude had 20" wheels too, right? It could be some ride balancing for the lower-profile tires?

Why'd you choose a NightHawk? What do you like the most/least? What do you wish it had? What do you wish it didn't have? Other Questions? Comments? Go Wild! I'll start! I went with the NightHawk because it has all of the stuff that were must-haves for my wife (hard top, automatic, power...

I've been using this several times the last few weeks on my JL :( Dealer hasn't been able to track down the electrical gremlins disabling the vehicle.

What'd I do with my gladiator today? I drove it home from the dealership. Nighthawk + tow pkg. Let the adventures begin, woot!
