Also to chime in on the rough idle sound. Mine did that as well my first setup was a Magnaflow straight through system with a muffler and one of their race resonators, sounded the best by far but at 68-75 mph in 8th I was going insane from the drone.
Cold start sounded mean and it would idle...
So I too went through several exhaust configurations, but each one when I got a decent sound (as good as the v6 gives) I gained a huge amount of drone. What I ultimately did was piece build the Dynomax quiet crawler exhaust. Every site and physical muffler shop on the planet was either sold...
Also to bypass the whole door open shifting into park. Put the seatbelt on or buckle it behind you. cheaper then a tazer if all you are buying it for a is auto park.
Also a freebie: if the trans controller has been updated or you have a 2nd half MY21 you can run these guys in 4-hi with the...
Hrm another thing to look for are loose wire looms, if you have done work to your JT, you might have forgotten to, or had a loom come loose and while at the steep incline you may have got it too hot and the smell could have been burning loom/shield. Not saying you melted a wire but you might...
going to sound silly but it sounds like you need a catch can, were you white smoking before it went into limp mode? If so it was oil getting into the valves. I have not seen limp mode but I have had mine at too steep an angle and a catch can fixed it.
So I ran the felt, and your eyebrow panel has a lot smaller gap then mine. Not sure if you have a rubicon or not, but I had to get some 1" door trim rubber to fill that gap, but I must say it did make a difference!
One thing I also did was run a slip of paper between the door seals back and...
Heh you think these ticks are bad just be glad these arent direct injected. Those injectors sound like trashed lifters all day long, and my hats off to the good mechanics that can diagnose bad valve train over direct port injection ticking.
I am sure this has been linked a hundred times in a hundred different threads but here it is again, best purchase IMO. FCA should do away with the lawn equipment battery and just do it right.

I just did a carvana quote for my 21 Rubicon with 18k miles they only offered $44,580, the Mak'Haik in Houston is trying to get me back in their doors for 49. I know you want to do online dealers, but the brick and mortar guys are prolly offering more. Especially if you wanna trade down.
Just my opinion but I traded from a 2017 GMC Sierra to my Gladiator. all I can say is look up all the class action stuff against the 5.3, I know it's bigger quieter and frankly a nicer ride, but you will in my opinion miss the gladiator when you start having high pressure fuel pump issues, and...
Sorry to say but just the fact that Gladiators are so uncommon in a lot of areas you will be noticed and remembered.
Oh well good luck making your Gladiator boring. :)
You should invest in a bottle jack. I have an 8 ton Harbor freight bottle jack, it screws out and then jacks up even enough for my 37's under the spring perchs or pumpkins depending on what I am trying to do. It's near it's runout for sure but it does allow me to install fully inflated tires...
