  1. Sun Visor Fix

    After 5 years the drivers visor broke as I was using my Sunrider top, went to dealer for service and asked them to repair/replace. I was quoted over $300 for a new visor (off warranty obviously). My guess is this may have something to do with the Homelink ? Had wife use her Amazon account and...
  2. Anyone have recommendations on a decent quality water-resistant bed cover/tonneau?

    For over 10 years and two Dodge Dakotas I had great year-around luck with a soft LUND tonneau, never a leak until a freak hail storm finally made a puncture. That led to a switch to a cap which made me appreciate all that dry space and I could even sleep back there. Currently I have a 2020...
  3. extreme terrain- buyer beware

    I agree that 'In Stock' often is inaccurate with several vendors, some will do a warehouse check but even that may be imaginary. Interesting how premium shipping speeds things up if you are willing to pay.
  4. How big of a winch do I really need?

    My first personal 4 x 4 but I always felt that if you had 4WD you could get stuck in more inaccessible places, so a winch was a must. Now my intent here was self-rescue more than lending a hand to others, which I would if the occasion arose. So after swapping on a Warn full-width Crawler bumper...
  5. extreme terrain- buyer beware

    Geographically I'm close to both Quadratec and Extreme Terrain and use both, until this Spring shipping was never a problem until FedEx lost an order. I did receive it a week late. An issue I have had with ET is with my bank credit card. The order is placed and received, my card is charged and...
  6. Anyone remove Bestop Sunrider during hot/cold months???

    Different issues here in the NE, with the weight of snow and ice during the colder months. I seem to recall when we installed the Bestop Twill Sunrider that it said it was not intended to be taken on and off and so I never have (since 2021). Still seals well (no leaks) and is as quiet as the...
  7. Standard (Imperial) or Metric Sockets?

    I'd like to suggest visiting lots of yard and or garage sales for used stuff, it's been my experience that quality varies even among well known and established brands, the result of mergers and acquisitions I'm guessing. That said, Harbor Freight is a good option for price/quality, even stuff...
  8. COLORED Truck bed coating, I love the color, wife was dead set against it, I won. (Actually, she allowed it)

    To each his (or her) own. You put the work into it and get to live with it, if you are happy, kudos. I am about to try Durabak myself, the non-skid marine finish and in BLACK, but it will go over worn existing black on my tractor. The bed of the truck maybe someday, I do have the color chips...
  9. Which brake pads to get for the fronts? - Want more bite and firmer pedal feel. (But no excessive dust or squeal.)

    I switched to Hawk Performance LTS pads two years ago and have been pleased, later this month I plan to swap the rear pads as well, caveat here, I also switched to slotted rotors at the same time
  10. You Named Your Jeep, Right? Drop It Here 👇

    Took delivery on June 6, 2020 so started off calling it "D-Day" but later to please the women, and since it is painted in Gator I began to call it "Olive Oyl", but without the 'nose art' of the WW II era', most of the time it's just 'the truck'.
  11. Sun Visor Rattle

    I've had a slightly different problem with my 2020 driver side visor that just began a couple of weeks ago, the pivoting arm falls out of its hole. No it can't fall completely out but when I push it back in it only stays until then next hard bump, unsure how to access it from the other side, or...
  12. Stellantis pauses Jeep Gladiator production due to parts issue

    I checked back on my MORONEY sticker and it read: For vehicles in this carline 61 % parts from US & Canada, 21 % from Mexico Which leaves 18 % from ???? No clue how the US/Canada parts are divided. So yes, an already pricey truck will get even more expensive and perhaps scarce if parts...
  13. Holy sunroof Batman! Sky365 Glass Sun Roof Panel Test Review

    Living in Central NYS we get a real mix of weather, but I opted for the Freedom top mainly due to winter snow and ice accumulation. Didn't take long to dislike the removable panels so I looked at other options, including the clear see-thru single panels. Would have given more consideration if...
  14. Portable air compressor

    I have carried a SLIME compressor for several years now in my minivan, never had an issue. That said I just bought a Viair 400 P Automatic for the Gladiator and am waiting to see how it performs. I have high expectations due to higher cost, reputation and build quality. Most big box stores sell...
  15. What is your favorite part about your Gladiator?

    Well I bought a left-over during Covid in 2020 so it came pretty well loaded, and then like many I had to add just to make it 'my own', steel bumpers, front winch, Sunrider top, WeatherTec alloy tonneau cover and more. But I think my one favorite thing would be the back-up camera. Although you...
  16. Bestop Sunrider

    I've had the twill Sunrider now for almost 5 years, year-around and parked outdoors, I have had no issues to date, it doesn't get washed very often either. Ice and heavy snow have been my main concerns but to date never had a problem, just get out and clear it ASAP.
  17. Any 2020 Gladiator Owners Still Here?

    Bought my 2020 Overland on 6/6/20 out of necessity, a gal totaled my 2007 Dakota and since it was the start of Covid I couldn't order a Gladiator the way I would have, so mine is pretty well loaded. 50 K miles so far and all I've done besides regular maintenance is replace the front brakes, and...
  18. First gen Tacoma bed cap fits on Gladiator

    I've had Dodge Dakotas in the past and both tonneau covers and caps, my Lund soft tonneau served me well for over 10 years, then I switched to an aluminum cap and loved the large, dry space, I could even sleep back there. When I got the 2020 Gladiator the only caps I could find were 2 grand...
  19. is it a rubicon without the rubicon sticker across the hood?

    Oh I like that 'Retirement Edition' but really I agree with just checking the VIN, that's like the 'birth certificate' of motor vehicles. And to comment on another member, actually my son did remove the RUBICON decal from the hood of his JKU back in '09, preferred solid black, to each his/her own.
  20. Tri-Fold or "locking" bed covers.

    I have had a WeatherTech Alloy tonneau cover on my 2020 for 4 yrs now and have nothing bad to say. I believe it can support a claimed 300 lbs (although I've never tested it) but big snows are no problem. Inside the box stays dry in all weather, it is secure and convenient. I do need to...
