Unless it is "part of the glass" which I doubt, can't you just take a scraper and get rid of it. Personally, I would trust myself much more than some kid at the dealer who just started to shave whose first job is to remove all of the stuff. If you can't get it off to your satisfaction, a drive...

I am glad to hear about the replacement glass option. I guess I just didn't read the warranties in detail as I should have when I purchased my JTR.

Wow, when I saw the word "Gremlin" in the title I think of the pumpkin orange '75 Gremlin my next door neighbor bought around the same time I bought my '75 J-10 pickup; in the same week. The Gremlin was a quirky little bastard but it was fun to drive.

I wonder if repainting (or having it done) the fiberglass white is a big issue? White, green, purple or whatever color you like, seems to me like a relatively simple process. No?

I really get your mindset. I remember my friend, right after high school in 1976 (yea, I'm getting up there), he bought a CJ7 and I bought a Gladiator J-10 pickup about a week apart. Interesting that both had V8's, mine the 360 2 barrel 3 speed and his, the 304 with Quadratrac automatic. I...

Unless I overlooked some earlier comments in this thread, can't you just get a white top by ordering a Rubicon X (and possibly a Mojave X and some other models) in white and get the white top if the white top is such a cool thing to have? And it says there is some sticker the Whitetop thing...

Originally (35 years ago) from South Jersey and I guess you know that NJ gets cold in the winter. That's why I moved to Miami (then more recently, down the road to the Keys). A lot of stuff I don't like about Florida (the politics, lower wages, etc.) but if you like to trade in your long pants...

I agree with your "opinion." But I do like the looks, think it's a cool idea, real retro effect. Great for a dealer showroom. But to drive around and play with, I'd take the mojito Rubicon Wrangler with half doors (preferably 2 door) if I was buying it for a fun (yes, I would find half doors...

I agree. We knew what we were buying. We knew (or I think the people here knew) that there were two batteries. We knew there was a stop/start thing. Even my wife's previous BMW ('16 320i) had it and her newer one ('21 X3) has it. To the best of my knowledge, new cars have it. Do I like it...

Good point. Now that I re-read that, it makes about as much sense as saying jumbo shrimp. My proofreader was off today ..lol.

Thank you soooo much. It is great to have resources like yourself to learn and share experiences with. Harnesses. Will do. Yes, messing with the factory wiring can lead to many problems, especially when working on other projects and the instructions expect to see the stock/original...

Thanks. I'm just not the best when it comes to taking things apart when electricity is involved. I don't want to put my turn signal on and have the radio change stations ... lol. Anyway, thank you.

First of all, thank you for your service. Second, service members are people too. As you know better than me, some are not in the best situations in life. If a few of them take the opportunity to make some money for themselves buying and reselling a Jeep .... well .... as a non-military vet, I...

Ok, not for my JTR but for my '16 JKU. I find the people here, in many cases, more helpful and knowledgeable. If you don't mind me asking, looking to upgrade the stock, standard radio (base OEM radio) and I see a lot of comments, information here about Crutchfield. Anyone have any experience...

I think you are being a bit (or a lot) naive here. Do you really think Stellantis gives a rat's ass about resale or anything beyond the publicity they are getting? Other than using it for marketing, sales and goodwill, do you honestly think, a year from now, where those vehicles are? If they...

I have no problem with the Falken Wildpeaks whatsoever. They came with my JTR and overall, I don't see why there would be complaints. I can't attest to how they would perform crawling up the side of mountain or the noise when running 90mph with the doors and top off, but overall, they seem like...

Thanks. So we are not comparing apples to apples here when we look at the Brasilian truck. If it takes adding an inch here or inch there to make for room for air flow, it would make sense for Stallantis to do that. A Gladiator an inch or two wider would not, IMO, alter the "Jeep" look and may...

It appears the US is getting a new Dakota, perhaps very similar to the one sold in Brasil (at least that is what I have been reading here at times). If that is the case and the US Dakota will be based on something already in production, as opposed to a "new from the ground up" vehicle, does...

Maybe they are repeating history by having "weak" manuals but that may not be the case. I guess it is now a "fact" that modern automatics are better capable of handling loads than manuals. In my mind, I keep thinking about the "light duty" Peugeot transmissions in the 1980's in the CJ's and...

You forgot to mention the free car wash.
