  1. Whatever happened to the Mopar 318 engine?

    I did an online search and found no real reason why these can't be used in something like a Jeep; a small block V8. If I recall correctly, CJ's offered, at one time, the AMC 304 as an option. The 318 Chrysler was considered a very reliable engine and I wondered what happened to it. Would there...
  2. Recommended Interior Cleaners (Dashboard, Handles, etc.)

    I live in South Florida and of course the interior of vehicles get really hot, especially with all of the black vinyl stuff (dashboard, handles, etc.). It can get like an oven with the windows closed and parked in the sun. I have used Armorall and similar stuff in the past but have read that...
  3. In the "For What It's Worth" department re: HF Apex 12000 Winch

    Just saw Harbor Freight has the Apex 12000 (synthetic line) winch for sale on its "Spring Black Friday" sale. Regular $599 on sale for $479. Fri-Sun April 11-13 2025. Those with the Inside Track membership get early access to the deals beginning Mon April 7 2025.
  4. Two JT Diesels (New) Still on the Lot

    I know some here have been wanting a JT diesel and for what it's worth, my local dealer here (Miami Lakes CDRJ) has two new ones listed on their website; a black one (54k MSRP) for 48k and a gray one (54k MSRP) for 52k. Both are new '23's. If interested, check out their website.
  5. HF Apex 12000 with Grimm Winch Plate Question

    The Grimm winch plate just arrived yesterday (25 Mar 2025) and I will be installing it and the Apex 12000 soon on my '24 Gladiator Rubicon (factory steel winch bumper). I was just wondering how this affects the skid plates. Do I reuse what is there, buy another one that will fit or is it not...
  6. Factory Steel Bumpers Are Hard to Find

    When purchasing my JT Rubicon recently, I thought I could just buy the Mopar bumper later if the Rubicon came with the plastic bumper (I like the factory steel bumper, both in the way it looks and the fact that it sits low and doesn't mess with the airflow with several winches I have seen on...
  7. Last Day of February - I wonder how many Rubicons and Mojaves were purchased?

    I bought my Gladiator Rubicon at the end of January when the 20% off MSRP plus dealer discounts were still available. The 20% MSRP thing did then extend into February. End of the month is typically a good time to squeeze dealers that are trying to make their sales numbers. Most dealers here in...
  8. Best winch plate for DIY installer

    I just purchased my Gladiator Rubicon two weeks ago and bought the HF Apex 12000 winch (I have the factory steel bumper). Based on what I have read here, the Grimm winch plate seems to be one of the easiest to use with no additional cutting or drilling. They are close to the price of the Warn...
  9. New Gladiator Rubicon in Driveway!

    Note: I originally put this at the end of another thread but I think I see that new purchases deserve their own thread. Anyway, I pulled the trigger yesterday to get the 20% Jan 2025 discount plus dealer discounts on a new Gladiator at a dealer near Ft. Lauderdale FL (their last Rubi). I would...
  10. Is the Rubicon X worth the extra money and complexity over the standard Rubicon?

    In the process of getting a 2024 Gladiator to give the 2016 Wrangler some company while they have the 20% off MSRP. Waited until end of the month (2 more days) to hopefully get the best deal. I found a Rubi with every option I wanted (steel bumper, navigation for wife and active safety group)...
  11. Factory Half Doors No Longer Available ???

    I am looking to purchase a new 2024/2025 Gladiator but see on the "build" area of the Jeep website that the half doors are no longer listed as options. I am thinking that since they are tooling up for the 2025's that they had used up their allotment of half doors near the end of 2024 production...
