Fast and smooth? Mojave. Slow and crawly? Rubicon.

Does anyone else's JT feel like it wanders?

He's talking about the other combo option on Quadratec, you can order it including a flashlight.

Do some digging in the forums on pulling with the diesel. It seems better on paper but the results have been underwhelming due to heat issues. It is possible this has been fixed (someone else weigh in) but there were a number of posts/threads about the engine limiting itself to very low speeds...

I read these threads sometimes and get curious about doing it, but then do the math and the taxes just don't make it worthwhile. Are you guys in states with zero sales tax on vehicles? Registration? On a pure base cost value I could easily get more than I paid, but taxes and registration would...

Front locker not the issue. I do have one but rarely engage it. I *do* often have the sway bar disconnected for smoother travel but that shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks all - sounds like I am doing everything right and need to not worry too much about it. In these scenarios I am usually in 4-Lo manual shifting, sitting between 2 and 4 depending on terrain. I don't know why the Gladiator seems like it jerks more, other than that my previous experience was...

"PITA" - exactly my thoughts. I don't want to throw it from 4-Lo t 2-Hi at every switch back, which are often very close together. I'm talking about full turn in either direction (full left or right) to make a switchback. Yes, loose dirt/rock. But the tires (Falken MT) are grippy enough that...

A question for all you experienced wheelers: When descending steep trails with sharp switchbacks, do you use 4-Lo to stay off the brake? If yes, when you reach a switchback do you leave it in 4-Lo? If yes, is the "whomp whomp whomp" jerk of the steering wheel and front axle normal and ok, and...

It can happen anywhere to anyone. That being said I live near and use i70 in the mountains. There is often rock fall and gravel on the road, not to mention run off from mining. Rocks on the windshield are pretty much par for the course. Add in the extreme vertical nature of the Jeep windshield...

I've got a Rubicon, but your options are putting you in a similar decision point to me. My plan when tires need changed? 35's with a 2" Mopar lift. Already have Rubicon suspension and fenders, so I don't absolutely need the lift, but I like the wheel wells to have space for flexing and don't...

What tires are those? And size? They look narrow (which I like!).

I bought a glass insurance package on the Jeep from the dealer when I purchased the Gladiator (I know, I know). I've been actually hoping for some broken windshields to recoup my investment. Has anyone tried getting a dealer to install Gorilla Glass through one of these plans? The plan gives me...

I assume you are not also selling the trail rails?

I really like the Mojave color matched hinges. Did you take them off and send somewhere? Local shop with color match?

"Leveled" it. Two loads of wood.

This is bad advice. You should almost always take the loan rather than pay cash. Depreciation is not the issue. The issue is opportunity cost. The loan helps you in two ways: * you are paying 80k in 2021 dollars, but you will ultimately pay this back in an average of 2024 dollars. 2024 dollars...

Those of you mentioning "sound quality," there is no reason you can't have that level of quality on your phone. Most of the streaming services now are offering "lossless" quality which is exactly the same as a CD. This isn't like a vinyl vs digital argument - it is literally the same file. CDs...

I went with the Rubicon, largely because there was a Mojave and a Rubicon on the lot at the time. I test drove both. The Rubicon had an 8.4" screen and was cheaper (Dealer GM Demo, ~13% off). Mojave 7" screen. Otherwise nearly identical. Having said that I think I would have ordered a Rubicon...

Can someone explain how something like the original photo happens? One wheel stuck while cranking steering opposite direction? Doesn't really look like this road would cause that.
