The Pentastar is sufficient for a truck this size. My last Jeep was a 2 door with Pentastar so it felt a lot more zippy than the Gladiator. But I rather have the reliability of todays Pentastar than be a guinea pig with a new engine.
I bought a used Wrangler from a Jeep dealer once. Three years old model, so probably a lease return. I would occasionally find long brown hair and white cat hair, so I figure it belonged to a brunette who rode with her cat. Thats all I cared to know about the previous owner. The past is past and...
Thats what I’m trying to figure out. I went in to the dealership to point out the missing part but low and behold, the new ones on the lot dont even have it. So, is this an assembly plant oversight or did jeep just decide to stop installing them on all new gladiators? And if so, when did this...
My dealer also installed a GPS tracker and wired it into an OBD pigtail. It was part of the $3,600 “protection package” which I laughed at and refused to pay.
Seeing as how its permanently powered through the OBD port, I suspect it is a constant parasitic drain on the battery while parked. I...
Without this locking plate, the tailgate can pull out of the camlock hinge thats attached to the truck bed. Thats how I accidentally discovered mine was missing. If you open the tailgate halfway and then pull back on it, it will slide out of that hinge.
interesting. What year are all your Gladiator? My 2023 is missing that plate. I went to my local dealership to check the ones on the lot. Also missing that plate. Did Jeep just forget to install them?
Who has this piece installed over their passenger side, tailgate hinge. Part #2 in the diagram and the black piece at the bottom of the red gladiator photo(not mine).
Must have been a Friday build. If its any consolation, my Tesla door hinges look like a 9 year old took a ball-peen hammer to it. But with the doors closed, I just forget about it. American craftsmanship just ain’t what it used to be.
I am in your exact same shoes. Waited years for Jeep to make a 2 door gladiator. But the 4 door look eventually grew on me. And now, I have grown to appreciate having all that extra space in the cab. As someone who’s owned multiple 2 door JKs, I can now really understand why the 4 door wranglers...
I just got back from rippin across the desert, drifting around corners on the dirt OHV trail and then powering out WOT. Then, got on the asphalt and went into town for dinner. The Mojave is also one of my all time favorite vehicles. If you want an EV, buy a Tesla.
