I believe this bumper will work with any skid plate that works with the stock Rubicon metal bumper. There are a different number of bolts in the skid plate on the metal bumper so even a skid plate from a plastic Rubicon bumper will not fit. This has messed up a few people because they assumed...
The problem is the front end is kind of narrow. You need a bigger front end to get more surface area for air to flow through the radiator. If it was just a matter of bigger fans Jeep would have done it already. Styling limited the cooling capacity.
I think you have to select the transmission and then select the cold weather package when doing it on the website. If you select it in the other order is just removes the cold weather package when you select the manual transmission. Because it is 2 separate cold weather packages and it...
I know my confusion over your math was because of how you phrased your initial post. You never mentioned sun rider and instead said aftermarket freedom top. Since aftermarket freedom top isn't a thing I assumed you meant freedom top which is what Jeep calls the hard top. So I was pointing out...
Yes I have the extra lip on the fenders. And the option is listed on my window sticker as "Max Tow Package with 4.10 Axle Ratio" which is clearly not the regular tow package.
You might want to double check your math. $3995 is $2800 more then the basic hard top ($1195) and $1800 more then the body colored hard top ($2195). And the Gladiator version would likely cost more due to selling fewer and still needing to recoup the development costs plus the required profit...
It's a pretty expensive option on the Wrangler so not too many people get it. I assume that they didn't bring it over to Gladiator due to the smaller production numbers making it not worth the development costs or something like that. I'm sure it was entirely an accounting decision.
The gas engine Rubicon and Sport max tow are both rated higher then any of the diesel Gladiators. So the axle is not the limiting factor, the Engine/Transmission is. Jeep has publicly stated that engine cooling is the primary bottleneck in the Gladiator's towing capacity and that the diesel...
I also have the max tow package and do not have day time running lights. Perhaps it is like the limited slip and depends on when your truck was built. Or maybe it's one of those items that gets added or removed from the package depending on other options on the truck.
Well then maybe they added it to the package at some point. I have a 2020 base Sport with max tow that does not list daytime running lights on the window sticker. I know they rearrange the option package contents periodically like when they added limited slip to the max tow package (which mine...
It's a safety feature Jeep implemented after Anton Yelchin, the actor that played Chekov in the star Trek reboot, got crushed by his Jeep. All new Jeep vehicles go into park or neutral depending on vehicle speed when the door is open. This feature is not active when the doors are off.

If you don't need lockers, sway bar disconnects, and skid plates then your best bet is to get a Sport with max tow instead of a Rubicon. Sport with max tow comes with the same axles as the Rubicon just without the lockers, and has slightly larger towing capacity and noticeably larger hauling...
Max tow is a Sport option not a Rubicon option. Rubicon and Sport with max tow have all the same stuff to beef up towing capacity but the Rubicon has extra weight due to the off road upgrades like skid plates so it tows a little less and hauls noticeably less then a Sport with max tow.

That varies depending on how many options your truck has and what trim level your truck is. The difference between MSRP and Invoice on options is about 11%. On a base sport the difference between MSRP and invoice is only 2%, Sport S is 2.5%, Overland/Rubicon/Mojave it is 5%.
I got a base...
Around me Wranglers and Gladiator all wave at each other. Not sure if Wranglers are being friendly or don't realize I'm not one of them until it is too late.
There's multiple dealers that post in the forums here that sell at about 7% under invoice if you finance through them and have a tread lightly membership. Some of them will do even better on in stock Jeeps. And this is without negotiating at all.
I got ordered my Gladiator for 7% under...
