  1. Prying eyes to look then steal

    LOL are we on the same wave length right now...Initially I thought I would do the mods which I thought of when I first saw what happened. Then I thought the insurance premiums of having to pay to have it fixed, or prying damage done wouldn’t be worth it. Frankly, them lifting it up to take a...
  2. Prying eyes to look then steal

    I think this pretty much nails it...They’d get into the bed of my Gladiator regardless if they really wanted to. I’d rather they did exactly what they did. Just flip the end up and look inside. Nothing in there and they just moved along. No pry marks with a screw driver either. Just a reminder...
  3. Was your wheel off-center AFTER steering gear replacement

    Mine is straight but I haven’t checked my steering fluid levels. However, I do hear a faint sound that wasn’t there before when putting a bit of tension on the steering wheel. I’m sure it’ll be steering fluid related. Air perhaps?
  4. Prying eyes to look then steal

    Posted this because there’s a lot of new Gladiator owners, and many may still not be aware as some sales reps at dealerships still tell people that the Mopar roll up tonneau cover is not secure or lockable without modifications. Or for that matter it can still be cut open with a knife but that’s...
  5. Prying eyes to look then steal

    Well I think I got lucky. I’ve been carrying around cases of drinks, a $300 brand new in box Napier Tent, and loads of non-perishable food in the bed of my Gladiator for a couple of weeks now. A couple of days ago my partner and I took the tent out, then dropped off the food and drink to an...
  6. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    As Shadowpapa mentioned as well regarding consistency in members posting about dealerships only able to order in 1 per week or 2 every 4 weeks for TSB parts...consider what the parts manager stated to me when I ordered mine and was the 1st to be done in Vancouver BC...within 2-3 days of ordering...
  7. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Page 54 of this thread has the photos of both the old and new boxes.
  8. 'Retro' Graphics Option?

    Thought they looked exactly the same! It looks like they took exact copies and used them as their own. Even plastering their website name on them!!!
  9. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    I believe the parts manager had mentioned Oregon to me in the past for what I mentioned above.
  10. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Crazy thing as I said earlier...the depot for parts for the West Coast of Canada and US up to northern Cal is the same supplier of said parts...That brings a whole new factor in when and where these parts are available. I’m curious now where all the parts depots are. That will affect ordering...
  11. Mopar 2" lift worth the $ to keep warranty?

    Originally mine was done with lift only. It ended up making my steering and wander much much worse. I complained about that and they put a Fox Steering Stablizer for me free of charge. It still wandered a bit but certainly not as bad as before the stabilizer. I then got the TSB fix with the...
  12. Mopar 2" lift worth the $ to keep warranty?

    The only thing that was nice for my dealer install was because I added an extra 2yr extended warranty, it bumped up the lift warranty by an extra 2yrs. I agree though, if I had equipment, tools, a garage and even a buddy to help along, I would love to be able to do things like this myself. Minor...
  13. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Exactly, so imagine the hair pulling they’ve all been going through waiting as long as they have. A couple of days after I got mine fixed an owner of a 2 door 2020 JL was refusing to drive hers because of how “unsafe” she felt driving it. Needless to say, I don’t know if this true or not but the...
  14. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Yes for sure, the codes have to be checked to make sure there wasn’t other underlying issues. Interesting conversation I had with a salesman as I was leaving. He was unaware of the TSB and fix for the driving. He specifically mentioned he asks his customers whether they’ve thought about that...
  15. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Deep breath and be cool. This will get fixed. I’m actually standing at my dealership and finished chatting with the parts manager about how they were getting inundated with requests from other local dealerships wanting them to do the TSB because their allotment to order parts was full. FCA...
  16. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    I don’t see anything listed that you’ve done as far as mods that would nullify any reason to have the TSB done. Meaning, some people have had the TSB done with the sector shaft brace, track bars, steering stabilizers, various lifts etc. My dealership knew I having issues the first day I had then...
  17. 'Retro' Graphics Option?

    So I checked out this website https://yellowbeedesigns.com/ when searching for retro decals. They list their vinyl they use for 7 years. Earlier today I asked a local sign company the quality of what is normally a 7yr rated wrap would be and he told me it was about mid-grade level. That...
  18. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Before the TSB came out I complained about the wandering. Same thing...they drove around the block and indicated they found nothing. Shadowpapa mentioned (I think it was him) he knew they didn’t take it to freeway speed based on how long they were gone or the odometer indicated they didn’t...
  19. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    For everyone waiting, it is well worth the wait! Today I went to a local sign making guy to ask him to custom do some retro stripes for my Gladiator, he came out to look at my JT as I was parked beside his JKUR. He mentioned he was interested in one but heard how they “drive like a jeep” with...
  20. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    In the same way people have negative experiences and service departments who don’t follow what’s “required”, I’m thankful that my dealership in Canada didn’t follow what FCA Canada wanted them to do and diagnose my Gladiator first as having a wandering issue. That is redundant and a waste of my...
