If the paint is prepped properly, I like it. Application is easy and removal is extremely easy. Much easier than a coating. 303 Graphene specifically says you can apply it over other products, it doesn't have to be virgin paint. I've done this twice and both times I was disappointed. On paint...
Consumer Reports is not a tool to validate, or invalidate, your purchase. It's designed to give consumers insight into what they are getting if they buy a specific brand or model.
Once you own it and your opinion is formed, who cares what CR states?
Picked it up from the service department after getting the rear window replaced. Took them a while to get the parts, then scheduled for drop-off when the glass installer was there. They finished the work yesterday and let it sit for 24 hours. Work looks great.
Interested to see if it keeps the...
Dealerships can be erratic and frustrating when dealing with warranty claims. They may claim something aftermarket voided warranty, but they technically have to prove this.
If you install a RC lift, all the components are covered by RC. So those, obviously, would not be covered by Jeep.
If a...
Glad you enjoyed the drive home with the new Gladiator OP.
I use Android Auto in the Gladiator 99% of the time I'm in the truck. My girlfriend is an iPhone user and she uses CarPlay.
Navigation - I use Waze, which is actually a Google product, for the alerts. While this has been incorporated...
You've gone to look at it physically? I would assume it's either optioned in a way that lacks appeal or the dealer is asking over MSRP and can't move it. Though I would also assume that would be the case with all their inventory.
Sorry OP. Glad to hear you still love the truck and your frustration is less.
I bought a 1994 Jeep Wrangler Sahara new when I was 17 and had nothing but issues with it. I said then I wouldn't buy another Jeep and then out comes the Gladiator and I wanted a truck. I've learned understanding and...
I assume they will do exactly as you described based on other owners here reporting their fix. Though some did get replacement tops, so interested to see.
Good point on freezing temps. We definitely get some well below freezing temps Jan - early March, so I'll ensure they document my concerns...
Had an odd noise that I've been chasing from the rear. Finally found a loose control arm on the passenger rear.
Also made an appointment to get the steering box replaced and found that the rear window has started leaking. So it goes in next Thursday for the steering box and Friday they will...
He has an entire thread about it. The link was posted in this thread.

The aftermarket is so strong, and so diverse, I prefer to piece the things I want. It's essentially a lift, wheels/tires, steering stabilizer, some lighting, and some stickers. I have zero desire for 20" wheels. I prefer the Steer Smarts upgrades for the front end, there are a ton of lift...
What was your intention of getting the sales associate? You have a Gladiator ordered, you got your measurements, and you had a rough idea of MSRP on the Mojave.
If you're concerned about taking your Gladiator to them for service, visit the Service Department. Take them some donuts and be...
This post gets into offset and backspace and covers several options.

You will have to decide, from OEM, what you want and how far out you want the tires to extend beyond the fenders.
I'm not being combative. Just clarifying. What I said was the Tesla model is full MSRP. They don't negotiate. There is no opportunity to go into a Tesla showroom and pay less than MSRP.
Beyond that, yes, the dealer model is very old. And, in many ways, outdated. Almost everything we buy is...
The federal measures in place were originally designed for the right reason. If you or I wanted to open a Jeep dealership, we wouldn't want Stellantis opening a dealership next door.
I agree, it can be a frustrating model. Especially for high demand cars, limited production, or during periods...
It seemed to be that automatic transmissions with a manual shifting mode were forward for upshifting, back for downshifting.
Vehicles equipped with SMG, dual clutch transmissions we're forward for downshifting and back for upshifting.
You could buy a Porsche 911 with PDK and an automatic...
