  1. Gladiator through a car wash? Experiences?

    Thanks everyone. I should clarify there is no machine interference causing the dents. The 23-24 Colorado has roof tin so thin that just the dryer blower would cause oil canning and damage. It was enough of an issue that GM put out a TSB on it to reinforce the roof. I think later years have...
  2. Gladiator through a car wash? Experiences?

    Neither. The one I would use is independent. Go through the tunnel or full service detail. Depends on how much you want to spend.
  3. Gladiator through a car wash? Experiences?

    The Colorado ZR2 I traded for my JTM could not be run through a car wash because the blower would dent the roof., really. I only hand washed it. Now, being in my 70s, there are times I just don't have the energy or desire to hand wash a vehicle and need a quick clean. For folks that regularly...
  4. Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers at 2026 Detroit Auto Show

    I completed a Jeep survey a few days ago, sent to me because of my recent purchase of my JTM. I beat the drum pretty hard for a 5.7L option.
  5. California Mopar grab handles

    PM sent.
  6. Too much oil filled

    On this and my prior JT I have always just dumped in what it calls for. In this case, 5 qts. Come to think of it, I do that with any vehicle I own. It's fine.
  7. 5.7L Hemi Jeep Gladiator Driving Review - for those wondering what 5.7 V8 would be in a Gladiator…

    Pretty common around here too. The wife asked a coworker once why she kept going to a food bank when she clearly didn't need it. The response was, "why not, it's free".
  8. Naked, Topless Doorless Gladiator Poll

    I generally keep everything on my Jeeps. I used to go out with the sides and doors off my TJ, just the top up for shade. I quickly figured out that a 100 mile day in the Nevada desert will trash everything inside the Jeep. Not to mention feeling like you're sitting in a hair dryer during...
  9. Anyone use unistrut instead of mopar bed rails?

    When I had mine done the company covered any threaded holes. I had bought a thread chaser but didn't have to use it. I've also heard of guys shoving golf tees into the holes before taking their truck in to have the bed sprayed.
  10. Milage not what I expected

    My 3 month old stock JTM is averaging around 16 mpg. This is tracked with Fuelly. If I remove the fills after hauling my 3,500 pound r-pod it's closer to 17.5 mpg. I suspect that will improve 1-2 mpg once they stop winter blend gas. I've found it actually does better around town than when...
  11. Seat covers that look good in Gator Gladiator?

    I'm thinking about getting the Carhartt seat covers.
  12. My latest desert trip.

    Guess I forgot to mention the model number on this is R-Pod 171.
  13. My latest desert trip.

    19 feet. This one is a 2021 with a GVRW of 3,250. It's the Hood River edition that has more ground clearance. 30 gallon tanks. It's perfect for dry camping in the middle of nowhere.
  14. How are you using your Trail Rail System?

    Those panels are from BuiltRight Industries. They make pretty good stuff. I had a set in my 23 Colorado ZR2.
  15. Gladiator death wobble

    Here is how I diagnosed DW on my JK. It had about 65,000 miles on it at the time. I was not able to detect any problems just pushing and pulling on steering components. Everything looked fine until they weren't. First is make sure your tires are well balanced. Lay under the front of your...
  16. Anyone use unistrut instead of mopar bed rails?

    This is what I did on my 21 Gladiator. Solid Unistrut and black wrinkle paint. Worked fine. On my 25 Mojave I have the Amazon rails.
  17. Which two leads to disconnect from Battery for Aux Battery Delete?

    Tagged. I have the same plan if/when my AUX battery starts acting up.
  18. My latest desert trip.

    If you're asking me, my Mojave has the stock suspension.
  19. 5.7L Hemi Jeep Gladiator Driving Review - for those wondering what 5.7 V8 would be in a Gladiator…

    I can't watch that guy but would like to believe it true.
  20. My latest desert trip.

    No first few years I ran the Nike radar. It was used as a reference radar because it was so accurate. Later I ran the AN/GPQ-T8. It was a triple A radar that ran three different frequency bands to simulate different Soviet radar. I was there 77-83. It's changed a lot since I was there. Now...
