  1. Gas mileage: A/C versus Windows down

    I drive a lot of highway miles and have noticed on particularly windy days the mileage drops significantly with the top/doors off. AC on, top/doors on, and 65-70mph seems to be the best combo for highway fuel efficiency.
  2. What are the "MUST HAVE" mods after buying your Gladiator? ($5,000 starting budget)

    Winch, bumper, recovery gear, 35s, new wheels, Jeep all weather floormats and JL Tazer is what I did with ~$5k for my Mojave. Next few grand will be 4.88s and a front locker.
  3. Discount Tire Experience

    I had a great experience getting my 35s installed on the Quadratec retro CJ style wheels. The store sourced all 5 tires from around the country, had them installed in 30 minutes, and were extremely professional throughout the entire process. I've also ordered Michelins for my Navigator and...
  4. Who do you let DRIVE your Gladiator?

    My wife. She didn't want anything to do with it at first, and now she loves it. Now we only drive the Navigator if we're taking all 3 kids somewhere out of town. So the Jeep is over 6k miles in 2 months.
  5. What’s the space between the cup holders for? (Wrong answers only)

    Sadly, no. I think only Max Tow models on 37s can achieve such honors.
  6. 35s and No Lift Thread

    Thanks, they’re the Quadratec retro CJ style wheels. I used to have a CJ7 Renegade with white wheels so I wanted to go for that vibe.
  7. 35s and No Lift Thread

    315/70r17s on 17x8.5" wheels
  8. Help me decide to go 35s or not on Mojave!

    I agree that the stock 4.10 gears aren't adequate with the factory 33" tires. When I moved to 35s I really feel it needs 4.56 or even 4.88. I'll be re-gearing soon.
  9. i'll be the first 315/70r17 on a STOCK Willys

    Ah cool, that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification
  10. i'll be the first 315/70r17 on a STOCK Willys

    Ah my bad. How can y'all spot a Max Tow model? Anyway I'd think a non Max Tow model would have the same issue. Too much tire.
  11. i'll be the first 315/70r17 on a STOCK Willys

    I've seen several people run these on the stock suspension. Here's one next to my Mojave. Personally I think it looks like too much tire for the size. Have you considered a small lift? The Mopar lift, or any of the smaller spacer lifts, would help quite a bit.
  12. If you could pick the hood, standard Sport style, Rubicon or Mojave?

    Haha understood and hopefully it came across as tongue in cheek.
  13. If you could pick the hood, standard Sport style, Rubicon or Mojave?

    I understand and agree with the sentiment but for someone keen on appearance I would think you would take the time to properly route the TV wires through the wall. ;) I love the Mojave hood. I don't care that the scoop isn't functional and I am okay with that because the whole thing is...
  14. The Philistine thread - non-lifted Gladiators and not likely to be, either

    There's no wrong JT and my wife says the same thing about mine being dirty :LOL:
  15. Stock JT Willys Off Road Capabilities Advice

    A stock JT in any configuration will surprise most novice wheelers. Coming from the old days of CJ-7s, and later XJs, the new Jeeps are way more capable. The brake lock differential traction aid helps quite a bit compared to the past Jeeps with only open diffs. The front sway bar can be...
  16. Catch Anyone Pretending Your Gladiator is Theirs?

    triggered or laughing at the boomer making up tales of envy over their JT Sport :giggle: Definitely one of the two. I hope you continue to enjoy your "built" JT ;)
  17. Catch Anyone Pretending Your Gladiator is Theirs?

    Riiiiight, I'm the snowflake making up fantasies about kids envying your Sport. ;)
  18. Catch Anyone Pretending Your Gladiator is Theirs?

    This story sounds a bit... fabricated. Boomers like to exaggerate their dominance over millenials and it's a little weird. Especially when they want to pretend like a millenial would be so envious over a Sport. :giggle:
  19. The Philistine thread - non-lifted Gladiators and not likely to be, either

    Agreed, it certainly does ride nice. That was one of the main selling features for me, because I had no interest in lifting it so it had to be ideal right out of the box.
  20. The Philistine thread - non-lifted Gladiators and not likely to be, either

    I was prepared to order the Tazer but my speedometer is spot on according to my GPS. It has plenty of power for acceleration, and the low first gear, along with the torque convertor, help with take off but I can't get it to hold 8th gear. If I manually shift it to 8th the engine bogs down on any...
