I've been looking for a hood lock that utilizes the center safety latch like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203067387248, but I can't seem to find one specified to fit a 2023 JT?

Are they very noisy? Location?

In my past experience extended warranties aren't worth the paper they're wrote on. Besides, no one is going to work on my vehicle except me, unless I need some really specialized tools or equipment, like for a front end alignment. All of these extended warranty pushers are crooks trying make...

The Durango was a much tougher and off-road capable vehicle when they used to build it on a Dakota frame, but you can't get a Hellcat hemi from the factory on a Gladiator. I've owned two Dakota's (1996 & 2002) and currently one 2003 Durango, which I loved them all (except for the rust). I also...

We're currently planning for an epic road trip near the end of July too, going in the generally opposite direction: Maryland to California. I see a lot of good stuff and ideas here! I'll be fully retiring soon at the end this month, and the kids will be out of school until near the end of...

Your load rating is usually related to your ply rating. I'm guessing a 121R is probably a 10 ply rated tire, while a 125R might be a 12 ply? That's a significant 12~13% difference. I usually go with at least a 10 ply rating, which might be a little stiff for off-roading, but more durable and...

This was my wife's 2020 Jeep Cherokee last January, after a guy driving a 2000 Ford Explorer with no headlights at night, in the rain, ran off the roadway and t-boned her as she was waiting to make a turn. That car saved her life! The regular Jeep Cherokee is ranked the highest in crash...

A manual transmission should idle a little higher than an automatic. I think the EPA wants all new vehicles to idle as slow as possible. Mine barely idles at 600RPM, usually after a couple minutes warming up. That seems too low to me. You can easily kill it, if not paying attention to the...

This is what I use for our canoe. Just let it hang out of the back and you don't have to worry about the wind blowing it around...

I'm looking for seat covers too, but can't find anything close to matching this "High Velocity" Yellow. I'm thinking about going with these Muchkey brand blue covers. Blue goes good with yellow, right...

This looks like something I've been looking for. Is this it listed on Best Buy? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/echomaster-9-3-full-screen-rear-view-mirror-replacement-monitor-with-dvr-and-back-up-camera-kit-black/6411392.p?skuId=6411392 The reviews there are generally good, with most of the...

Ok, I just ordered both the latest version Vgate vLinker MC+ and the bypass cable adapter via AliExress for a total of $54.16 (estimated delivery date: Apr 27, 2023). Thanks all...

This is message I get whenever I try to change anything in the Activations section, so I still think that I need a new BT dongle (besides that bypass cable adapter).

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that I read that this bypass cable adapter was only needed if you used an Apple phone to connect (I'm connecting to a Samsung S20). Anyway, what is this adaptor looking thingy that came plugged into my OBD receptacle from the factory? I've tried plugging my...

I just downloaded the Jscan app yesterday, but my OBD2 bluetooth dongle doesn't fully work. I can see everything that's going on with my vehicle and clear codes, but I can't make any changes to the settings. The Jscan app website only lists two dongles tested to fully work on my JT Gladiator...

The best price I have found so far for an original liner is $660.80, including shipping (Mopar 82215845AB). That's about double the price of a Rugged or Penda brand liner. Is it worth the difference?

That's exactly how I did on my old Dakota. Use the softer bed mat when you want a more traction surface or to be easier on the knees. Then you can take it out to slide something heavy or messy in the back. Easy clean up without worrying about scratching a spray on finish That's exactly how I...

Two weeks ago, I bought a new 2023 Gladiator Sport model. It's just a basic model with the original painted bed that I need to protect ASAP. First, I need a good solid bed liner. I don't want any kind of sprayed on liner or soft Bedbug like liner. So far, I only have found three available...

I used to have a 1989 Jeep Commanche also for a while, until my girlfriend totaled it out. Just bought a 2023 Gladiator Sport model. It's very basic, with 6 speed manual trans. Ended up costing $42184 after all taxes & fees. It's a bright yellow color, similar color to my very first car in...
