  1. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    Sorry, I can't hear them over the sounds of 2.5 million Toyota Tacomas' frames dissolving.
  2. Carvana Gladiator purchase

    Being in an impound could mean anything from "it was parked in a red zone and towed" to "the previous owner has a DUI on their background check now", it doesn't mean there's a problem with the car.
  3. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    Mine lives there permanently because the garage is full of motorcycles, the motorcycle lift, gym, and parts. I don't think I could squeeze the truck in there if I wanted to - and the LJR would take priority anyway. I might start parking on the street away from the other cars though.
  4. Carvana Gladiator purchase

    I remember seeing a photo of someone who did red bedliner in a Sting Gray Rubicon - a red that almost perfectly matched the Rubicon red accents. It looked fantastic, made me wish mine didn't come with the factory black bedliner just so I could do it in red.
  5. Two Years Left for the Current Gen—What do you think we’ll see?

    What I would like to see: A shift towards quality and reliability Gladiator to get a full width engine bay without the Wrangler flying fenders Gladiator to get a unique front end inspired by the J10/J20 or Kaiser Full float axles for the Wrangler platform vehicles, at least as an option What...
  6. Carvana Gladiator purchase

    I'm Gen-X too, but I'd rather do all the negotiating by email - not because I'm scared of dealing with salesmen; it's a strategic decision that negates most of their manipulation tactics.
  7. What level of risk is damage to the doors?

    “I’m always speeding and never gotten a ticket.” it’s not a problem until it’s a problem. The doors are designed to last a lifetime hanging from the hinges; I’d rather reduce the risk by doing that instead of hanging from the inside of the window frames and putting pressure and weight where it...
  8. What level of risk is damage to the doors?

    I'd just get a bracket that hangs them from the hinges, but I'm used to TJ doors where the window frame is held on by two tiny spot welds.
  9. Can Rear locker be engaged in 2WD?

    Eaton still needs power to engage, it uses an electromaget just like the OE lockers, but the tooth engagement is much more than OE due to the pin-ramp design. The Yukon sounds like it's similar to the Detroit style locker that engages automatically with differential wheel spin. Those can have...
  10. Carvana Gladiator purchase

    That demand smells like them offloading the liability to the customer rather than having to pay for their own insurance in case the car gets wrecked or stolen before delivery. "Please insure our car for us prior to it becoming your car" would have me laughing all the way out the door.
  11. Carvana Gladiator purchase

    I wouldn't buy from Carvana, they have a well documented history of borderline fraud and at least poor business practices. They try to turn-and-burn sales so quickly that they often don't have titles in-hand for the cars they are selling. Search "Carvana Title Problems" some people have been...
  12. What’s the one thing that ALWAYS ends up in your Gladiator before a trip?

    Depends on the trip. Road trip: Just my vehicular EDC, which is pretty comprehensive. Tool kit (not going to list all the contents) Small air compressor Tire puncture kit Microfiber cloths Gloves Wool blanket Hatchet Jumper pack First Aid Kit Tazer Mini manual Garmin InReach Spare doggy poop...
  13. Can Rear locker be engaged in 2WD?

    The OE locker is mechanical, it's just actuated by a magnet instead of a cable or differential rotation like a Detroit locker. Eaton makes a different style, but it will disengage the locker momentarily if you change direction from forward to reverse or reverse to forward. Old school Toyota...
  14. Can Rear locker be engaged in 2WD?

    It makes the ride smoother on fire roads
  15. Why not Jeep???

    Maybe they are still sore about the last time they tried this project of using off-the-shelf parts and vehicles, resulting in the M715. That was a horribly unreliable vehicle and I think it was slated to be retired from service before all the contracted examples were even delivered.
  16. Looking for a quite 38"/40" tire

    40" is quite a tire, fortunately how quiet a tire is depends more on the tread than the size.
  17. Stellantis destoryed Jeep

    Not paying attention to a source that testified in court under oath that they are "a current events entertainment network" and "no reasonable person" would confuse them with "news".
