  1. DIESEL - Planning for larger turbo

    Love the early adopters. Subscribed.
  2. 392 and Xtreme Recon Gladiator not happening; but 4xe likely...

    I don't get the 4xe. It seems to be just a short term entry point into full electrics. The tech with the 4xe is something else to fail. Especially with a FCA product lol.
  3. 2022 Rubicon diesel

    Congrats. Looks like my JTRD.
  4. Your thoughts on the 6 speed manual in the Gladiator?

    Never thought I would see that BOLDED phrase in a Jeep Gladiator forum. :) To each his own with manuals vs. autos. Loved manuals growing up. Manuals are great for small sportscars although I prefer flappy paddle dual clutch units now. I grew up with manuals. But for some reason .... on any...
  5. guys with 2.5" and 3.5" lifts

    For myself .... it was all about the truck fitting in the garage. That was the limiting factor. Love my 2 in mopar lift with a 3/4 inch front spacer. Plenty of room for 35 or 37 in the future. Plus. Height wise .... the truck will fit.
  6. Reduce rake by adding weight in JT bed

    I was raised in Alaska. We used to place some weight (sand bags) in the bed of the trucks. This was to enhance traction in the snow. Could care less about the "rake".
  7. Dealer is amazed that I would lift a brand new Gladiator...

    My experiences dealing with dealerships and warranties. The dealership has no control over what is warrantable. This is a corporate decision. Dealerships need to get approval 1st from Corp before they will be reimbursed for the warranty repair. If OP or anyone else has purchased many...
  8. Car and Driver has posted a 10,000 mile update to their long term Gladiator review. Pretty negative

    tldr; I love my JTRD. If I wanted to buy an appliance .... I would have bought the Honda Ridgeline. I buy stuff that excites me. "Flawed" cars/trucks have personality. I want reliability, but I am totally fine with all the other "imperfections".
  9. Finally got the 2022 diesel rubicon.. review after 2300 miles

    Love the color choice. Just remember it's a Jeep designed to do jeep things and all the annoying nuances will be insignificant.
  10. Parking Woes

    Very amusing thread. I've learned some things from the concept of passive-aggressiveness. Like the OP ... I also would have been annoyed. But from experience (I'm 59) I realize that these situations are just not worth the aggravation. There is no "teaching" a lesson to other people. The sum...
  11. Anyone in AZ own an ecodiesel? Does it overheat in the summer?

    I find this whole discussion on the diesels derating somewhat ridiculous. Especially in the hot summers of Arizona. I currenty own a JTRD. I live in N. Scottsdale. Long time ago I had a Ram 1/2 ton 4X4 that I used to tow a medium sized boat to Lake Powell. What a joke. With temps out side...
  12. Devils advocate of upping tire size.

    I'm dealing with this choice now. I got the mopar 2 inch lift to accomodate larger tires. My original plan was 37s. I'm currently on the stock 33s Wildpeaks. My choices. 35s vs 37s. Going to 35s seems like a waste of money for a couple of inches. But my wife is already having issues...
  13. Eco diesel Suspension bottoming out on normal roads

    This is what I am curious about also. Luckily I had the mopar lift installed the day I picked up my JTRD. No issues with bottoming out at all. I'm sure I'm just repeating others, but I cannot believe that this issue was not found during the R&D phase of the JTD. It's a Jeep meant for...
  14. Pentastar or 3.0l?

    Jeez. These discussions always turn out the same. Buying the diesel does not make financial sense. For the most part ..... the diesel is potentially more of a hassle. Plenty of cons for sure. If you are looking for a dependable daily driver ... get the gasser. If you are looking for more...
  15. Best place to purchase Mopar lift?

    I purchased the mopar lift and front spacer through the dealership that I ordered my JTRD from. They installed everything the day I picked her up. Just trying to build a good relationship with the dealership.
  16. ‘21 Diesel w/ Mopar 2” lift. Bad Front Rake.

    Just like everyone posted. Add a front spacer. Had the dealership install the spacer same time the mopar lift was being installed.
  17. Snapped Front Axle

    Is this for yourself or are you rebuilding to resell?
  18. VM 3.0 general overview and current observations - Q&A encouraged

    Appreciate your contribution here. I'm a jeep noob. Pretty shocked to hear about all this high temp derating stuff. Curious. I live in N. Scottsdale. Bought the jeep to go visit my daughter in Flagstaff or visit your beautiful city. My jeep has the 2 in mopar lift with the stock 33's...
  19. Okay which one of us is this? Bad driver, language warning

    Completely agree. Logistically M/C riders are riding in a very dangerous environment mostly due to other in-attentive drivers. But that is unfortunately the way it is with vehicle drivers out there with varying degrees of driver talent and etiquette. The issue I see is that these M/C riders...
  20. Dealerships can be so sneaky

    If this were true .... then why don't the dealerships charge a non-refundable fee for custom orders?
