I too would be interested in a solution other than a portable CD player via USB port, room is a scarce commodity and then there're the CB or GMRS units to squeeze in. My dad scoured junk yards just for an AM radio so he could hear ballgames, in college with my '50 Plymouth I drove with a small...

While I'd prefer an extended cab to keep my tools and hunting gear secure I'm with Sandman 4 x 4 on this one, longer bed makes for more work ability, isn't that what trucks were made for ?

Choices, always choices, form over function, budget, we all choose one or the other or some middle ground. I wanted a early Dodge Power Wagon since I was first exposed to one on my summer job over 60 years ago, by the time I could 'afford' one prices had shot up to where I really couldn't. So I...

With two exceptions I have always had cloth interior and thankful for it, not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter (Goldilocks zone ?), now the exceptions were a 1961 Morris Minor and my 2020 Gladiator. The Morris Minor seats were old and well worn but comfy, the seats in the...

My thinking is, who are you trying to please ? If you like it, and as others said, don't mind doing some explaining now and then, go for it. It's not carved in granite, you can always change it later if it doesn't work out.

Yes I seem to recall layers upon layers of corrugated cardboard and miles of foam tape, torn here and there in shipping but not a bolt or nut lost. I thought the Crawler series evolved into the Elite series, I am sure I had to order the skid plate for the Elite series as the Crawler one had been...

A bit off topic I suppose but this is my 2020 Overland with the FULL width Warn Crawler front bumper, skid plate and mounted Warn 9.5 XP winch, you may use for comparison. To me a big plus for the Warn bumper was the hoop is welded on and not bolt-on, but after a maybe 2 month wait (back in...

I was in the market to replace my '96 Dodge Dakota extended cab back in 2005 when Jeep brought out the Gladiator concept. I immediately did something I had never done before, I wrote to Jeep, actually Sergio Marchione at that time with my likes and dislikes. Yeah ditch all the chrome accents and...

Five stars for ingenuity, I haven't installed my Bestop sunshade yet but am not a tall guy so I don't anticipate any issues, anything short of wearing a hat to prevent scalp sunburn ! Thanks for sharing.

Tried a hood lock on my son's 2009 Wrangler Rubicon, worked fine until he added a RIPP supercharger, then the lock had to go for the cooler. I'm in favor of locklng latches and pneumatic hood struts while they're at it

Bought a set of Rugged Ridge guards back in 2020 from Quadratec, installed as per instructions, no seal issues. That said, they are hard rubber and apply via adhesive strips I'm sure they could be trimmed to suit your needs

So far the repair to the left visor and now the right one needs it too

I believe my gas averages are fairly consistent and only vary significantly when I switch back and forth from my 'winter' all terrain tires to my 3 season all-weather tires. What I do believe is inaccurate is the gas gauge, the 'needle' and the actual pump fill-up can be as much as 5 gal...

I have a Warn winch but also Bubba ropes, VooDoo straps, some Harbor Freight stuff, some ordered online (Quadratec, Extreme Terrain, Summit etc), all good so far

As with any 'major' surgery a second opinion can't hurt, and to keep them honest I wouldn't mention previous diagnosis. Modern engines should, under normal circumstances, go well beyond 100K miles before internal 'exploratory surgery', IMHO

Have several Rugged Ridge products, never had an issue. Sometimes I think we now expect too much from suppliers. Near instant gratification. I come from a time before the internet and even before I had a credit card. Used to shop in a catalog, fill out paper order form and mail it in with a...

I see shiny Gladiators with ducks across the dash fairly often and I have to wonder did they 'earn' them or 'acquire' them at the parts store. I've received just 4 in 5 years and two of those were presented in person so there was a connection. I pass them on or give'em to the grandkids, I think...

Live with it awhile, some needs will become self-evident to the type of driving you do. That said, if you are going off-road I'd suggest steel bumpers and a winch, a 2-way radio would be a good idea, check with your buds to see if they are using CB or GMRS. I went for a hard tonneau but others...

Way back during the CB craze of the 70's I went for a Royce 40 ch for my wagon. And since pharmacists are known for their honesty I filed for a license and was given my call sign, KARF something. Within a year or two there were literally tens of thousands (more ?) CB's out there and very few...

My Gladiator is a 2020 and the twill Sunrider was installed by my son in 2021, stays on year around and so far no problems, fit seems good all around and it is as quiet as the panels were when the windows are closed. Sorry for your headaches as the Sunrider is a pricey accessory, I hope this is...
