It always goes back to need. Full size trucks are great in many ways, until they aren't.

They spend millions to pay people to come up with ideas like the one you shared. They wouldn't have contacted you if they didn't ALREADY know that idea was a winner. You paid them for your jeep. Now it's time for them to pay for your idea. Nothing in life is for free. Start negotiating !!!!

Choose what you wish. The REAL problem will be with availability. You might want to have a plan A, B, C, D, E because of backlogs. Retailers know customers have caught on to the shortages issue. Some of them are up front and tell you. Lots of stuff is 3-4 months backloged. Others are coy...

Ask yourself these questions about how much confidence you have in it's capability: Do I have enough confidence in Ford to take a STOCK tremor on Hells Revenge (not hells gate, escalator, or the other optional crazies) just the basic circuit? Do I have enough confidence in ford to take it on...

It's all about how you plan to use your Jeep. Best to carefully sort all that out BEFORE you make your final model selection. I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of Rubicon models never get close to being driven in places that they are designed to handle. Most Jeep owners would be...

As I write this I am in Moab. I am basically a newbie who purchased a Gladiator back in November. It's bone stock, a Rubicon with 33" all terrain tires and stock suspension. With a little spotting help from a friend I just did Hells Revenge. NOTE: I did NOT do Hells Gate, Mickey's hot tub...

If you haven't driven it, don't knock it !!!! It's far more capable than most people realize. I'm a relatively new driver and just took my BONE STOCK Rubicon on Hells Revenge this past. Monday. With spotting help from a friend I did things with it I never thought possible. Anybody who...

Congratulations on deciding to buy a Jeep. I would go Rubicon all the way. Out of the box it's been a great daily driver and "escape vehicle". If you're going off road then invest in some basic recovery gear. First time I took my Gladiator off road a number of things became obvious: 1...

Our Jeep is a Rubicon, stock, 33 inch tires. It took me about a month to get used to the "jeep drift". Now I make small corrections and just deal with it. That said I recently took a trip through a mountain/plains/desert region of Oregon at a time when it was very windy. The drift was...

I know jeeps are born to be modified. What's happened here takes it to a place it was never meant to go.

I have it and for trips, it's really cool. On the highway it really reduces driving effort such that I believe it can add 1-2 hours of driving energy to my day.

No question that with the 4.5 and 40's you would be looking pretty capable. Based on all I know this could be the start of something much more expensive shortly down the road. I would not be surprised that if you were to have some mechanical issues in the drivetrain that the lift and tires...

Jeep marketing give people the impression you can take a jeep anywhere and do anything. Well you can, sort of....until sh*t happens. The warranty police show up and you get screwed. Best to clean it, inside out and upside down, to the point of being totally new. Have it hoisted and have the...

Jeep is much more than a vehicle. The Bronco, while being a great vehicle, is a Ford. This is a company that has done very little in history to foster a true relationship with the recreational 4wd community. The good news for jeepers is that the potential competition this presents will force...

Originally, it was to tow, because my wife wanted a small trailer. Now, and $50,000 later, she's walking it back. I like my Gladiator, but could have gotten a 4 door Wrangler instead.

Read the manual. I guarantee you'll find things out about your Gladiator you don't know and couldn't learn by any other means. At this point, you don't know what you don't know. As you take it off road, take it easy and become aware of how it handles various situations and obstacles. Learn...

Service managers, some of the most clueless people who spend the most time pretending they know anything about cars. I agree that some service managers are better than others, but so far the guy I have been working with has shown intelligence, integrity, is well organized, he's up front with...

I know this sounds crazy, but I verified it with my service manager. If you have a FOB it's very easy for someone to steal your car. Turns out the FOB is always on and always pinging, looking for its parent object, your Jeep. That ping has a range of 100 feet or so. So here is what can...

Their plan wasn't to take anything off the Jeep. Their plan was to TAKE your Jeep. There are ways and means of bypassing any auto security system. You got lucky this time. When we first moved into our house we were using our garage as a storage bin. Most of our neighbors do this. Not...

I am left to wonder what this guy does for fun. Maybe his idea of fun is being a Detroit Lions fan, watching them lose week after week, year after year. If he truly believed what he was saying about gas guzzlers he would be driving a Tesla. Wait, wait, complaining about the fun other people are...
