This was in the 2023 marketing brochure. Is nothing like this in the 2025 brochure?

Is this a rhythmic clank clank clank that goes along with wheel rotation or vehicle speed or a random or bump induced click clicking like something is loose or out of place?

You would be better served by just reading the manual for what it is. If you are unfamiliar with 4wd systems, I recommend reading the manual thoroughly. You can do some major damage if you use 4wd when you shouldn't. The manual tells you everything you need to know about operating the 4wd...

There is no reason to address the transfer case as "Rock-Trac" in the owner's manual just as there is no need to address the automatic transmission as "850RFE" or the engine as "3.6L V6 24V VVT Engine with Stop/Start" and so on with all the other parts. All that is necessary for vehicle...

The only real beef I have against BMWs is that so many are driven by total asshats. I guess they must be fun to drive and to weave in and out of other cars and take right-hand exits from the far left lane and stuff like that. I love quality engineering but would never consider a BMW. I'm afraid...

Those carriers may work perfectly fine (I have never tried one) but with some of those bikes it sure looks like a lot of weight hanging off a long lever arm, and torsionally it is such a small square tube to resist rotational movement. Static load no problem, I'm thinking about the possible...

I am really curious what the IBS does differently if you charged the battery directly to the post. It doesn't seem all that "intelligent" if it will overcharge a fully charged battery just because it didn't "see" it being charged. It should be able to determine whether it is fully charged or...

Yep, a less than brilliant person leans out the door at a fast food drive thru to pick up the change they dropped then hits the gas and gets crushed by their door and now we all have to deal with another idiotic "safety" feature. I've not had a reason to be "shooting out the door with the...

I saw instructions somewhere about removing the cellular card in the UConnect head unit. I wasn't all that keen about mucking around inside the head unit so I tried disconnecting the antennas first. One day when I'm bored or paranoid I might open it up and remove the card, if I can find the...

Personally, I'd like it to be more antiquated than it is today. I'd like to see most of the electronic modules and sensors dumped and go back to mechanical and just plain old electrical that is more robust, doesn't need a computer to diagnose, doesn't need a diagnostic tool to "turn on" any...

My Rubicon drove like the bed was overloaded with a top heavy load, even when empty. It wallowed down the road with every road imperfection sending me in a different direction requiring a lot of corrections. Dips in the road that were handled fine by the front were not handled well by the rear...

I'm trying to find a video showing frame flex at the steering gear. I could swear I saw one but the only ones I am finding now look like loose mounting bolts where a gap appears between the gear and frame at the mounting point. Is there a tube welded in the frame for each bolt to go through or...

It bothered me that my Gladiator reported telematics data (mileage, tire pressures, oil life %, and such) to the mothership but I also wanted to prevent the automatic and unwanted downloading/installing of new firmware or any other updates (and ads too as it turns out). I disconnected the two...

Pedal Commander sucks power from the power feed to the throttle. If the feed can't provide enough current for the pedal and the device, it will create problems. I had a device like that on my Ram once and it threw codes and the throttle would go dead. I took it off. Dangerous. Easiest way to...

The strong steering stabilizer should have stopped most of the wandering and getting blown around by the wind but it can make it feel vague. Return-to center will be poor and the wheels won't quite self center and follow the road, which will feel like wandering. And you won't feel the road in...

Don't the in-channel visors just pop/pull out? The ones that stick to the body are a pain, though.

I guess it can be done (photo attached), but he's talking like this is how Gladiators come from the factory.

More importantly if any water gets past the tubing seal it gives it a place to drain out. At a minimum a gap should be left open.

I've adjusted the steering gear preload on more than a few vehicles over the years. It helps sometimes but it has never, not once, solved the problem. I also tried a stronger steering stabilizer on my JT. It masks the problem by holding the wheels straight/steady for you but it is not a...

That is true. There are a 21 different rear springs listed for the '23 Gladiator. Left and right seem to usually be one part number away from each other so that means at least 20 different sets of springs plus any sets that use the same for left and right plus any that are more than one part...
