Got a response, 372 was all trim levels. Fairly rare Jeep we drive.
If that is evenly distributed across the country there are roughly 7 or 8 per state. I saw two this morning not including mine so I may have seen almost half the Gecko Gladiators in my state on my morning commute today.
Asked Jeep Chat for a count on the Geckos and they forwarded my request to Dodge CS. Dodge CS gave me what appears to be the number of Gecko Rubicons instead of total count. Responded to ask total number of Geckos so hopefully they get me that number as well within a couple of days. Will post...
It's definitely not for everyone. I was a little self conscious when I first got it. Try my hardest not to piss anyone off on the road because it is easy to find.
In defense of moron IG guy and his family, people generally just don't get the concept of not doing whatever the F they want. Out backpacking with boy scouts, all of ours at least get the concept of leave no trace and try to adhere to it as much as they can, one started building a little rock...
I could see a seized or catching strut or shock causing an excessive bumpy ride as well as causing the truck to ride canted a little or maybe throw off the camber on one side and cause a pull. I'm not a mechanic though. I'm just speculating with no basis at this point.
Within spec doesn't always solve or even recognize the problem, especially if something else is jacked up. I would take it to a mechanics shop not a tire place. I've had alignments done (not on the JT) and everything checked out and was within spec at the dealership and at a laser guided...
Have you considered taking it to an independent shop and have them check it out? You'll pay for the diagnostic, assuming they are worth a damn, but they might be able to tell you what's actually wrong with it. No it shouldn't be pulling to the left like that.
Sold a 2017 GTI (manual transmission) to purchase a Rubicon JT (automatic). Yeah, the giddy-up on the JT is dismal in comparison. So is its braking and cornering ability. Don't even ask about MPG. Maintaining 80mph on the interstate is a competition between how much noise can the engine make...
Punk'n
Orange is my favorite color and I wanted Punk'n ever since I saw the first picture of one. The Gravity Concept completely sold me. Was ready to buy as soon as it opened up for orders but waited for the factory brake controller to become an option. Punk'n was cancelled before the brake...
Couple weekends ago, I had a guy in a Panamera a couple cars back one lane over yell at me until I turned my radio down (doors were off) so he could ask how much I paid. Gave me the impression he and his boys were going to hit a jeep dealership. Have a feeling he was disappointed to find out...
