  1. Impressions after first 400 miles driven

    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.
  2. Wondering if the former owner of my Gladiator is a forum member

    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...
  3. Tailgate hinge lock plate?

    I dont see your vote. Does your gladiator have that plate installed?
  4. Tailgate hinge lock plate?

    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...
  5. Apex GPS tracking on new Gladiator

    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...
  6. Tailgate hinge lock plate?

    That’s what I did. It was more so that I stop accidentally pulling the tailgate out of that cam lock hinge.
  7. Tailgate hinge lock plate?

    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.
  8. Roll bar damage from the factory

    Some people just… never learn.
  9. Tailgate hinge lock plate?

    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?
  10. Tailgate hinge lock plate?

    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).
  11. Roll bar damage from the factory

    Yikes. That is a lot of issue and not just one dent in the roll bar. My 2023 JTM has none of those issues. Yours? Definitely a Friday build.
  12. Let's see what a stock Gladiator is capable ...

    and pinch your thumb and index fingers together, then wave both hands around anytime you talk
  13. Roll bar damage from the factory

    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.
  14. 2020 Gladiator Rubicon STOLEN in Dallas

    Im not one for poetry, but that ode brought a tear to my eye. Sorry for your loss
  15. Your thoughts on towing this

    Aren’t those Olivers $100,000 trailers? I’d get a proper tow vehicle if I owned a premium travel trailer
  16. Drove 3,000 miles with no air filter!

    Thats what we call Amateur Hour. Never trust an amateur’s work, even if its free oil changes
  17. Stop Vehicle Now - Updates Alternator ?

    Go up to the search function and type in “F42” and then read to your hearts content. There must be hundreds of posts about the Aux Battery here
  18. The 392 Single Cab Gladiator sells for $65,000 at Barrett-Jackson

    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...
  19. Should I switch from a JL 4xe to a JT Mojave?

    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.
