I tried to get a pic of it earlier today to post in my original thread, but I couldn't get one where it would show. It's hard to see it sitting still... you have to move around... and then you see the reflections sort of bending around it. I guess that's what makes it more obvious when you're...

I bought a "new" '22 Sport S a few weeks ago (my first Jeep) that had been a manager's vehicle and had about 3k miles on it. I've noticed that the hood appears to be very slightly dented around both of the forward ends of the rubber windshield bumpers/rests on the hood. You don't really notice...

Thanks! I love the truck! Also very impressed with the great responses I got to my overreaction about the open diffs. I didn’t even know what BLD was before reading about it in this thread - and now that I do, it sounds like it works great! I’m sure it will be all I’ll need.

Well, that’s par for the course for me… I am a computer programmer and tend to overthink everything. ? I appreciate all of the great responses in this thread! Clearly I have nothing to worry about for the way I plan to use the truck - and if I get bitten by the wheelin’ bug and start going to...

Thanks... I won't be doing any mud pits. Not intentionally anyway!

Wow... very cool... thanks for that! I (obviously) had no idea. Sounds like this system will be more than enough for my needs. Great! I can't wait to go try it out! One question... just curious: When BLD detects one wheel spinning faster than the other on a given axle, does it only apply the...

Back on topic... Thanks for that reply! Makes me feel much better about this (big) purchase. Yes, I have been riding/racing dirt bikes offroad my entire life - well, since I was 12 years old - so 45 years or so - and still do - so I know plenty about reading terrain for them - but have ZERO...

I think it's a little more than that. That particular engine is truly overbuilt. Mine had 237k miles on it when my daughter wrecked it (thankfully no injuries) and it still ran like new. Didn't burn a drop of oil. Literally the ONLY repair it ever required the whole time I owned it was a starter...

Dude... you have no idea. LOL! My Taco was the BASE model... so base they don't even offer it anymore. A 2WD regular cab "long" (6.5') bed with a 2.7L 4-cylinder and 5-speed manual. The only options were A/C and a sliding window in the back glass. That engine is legendary in terms of...

*True - don't do much offroading - never have (except on 2 wheels where I have done PLENTY) *Truck most definitely IS expensive - thus my expectation that limited slip (not lockers) would be standard equipment. *DID pay attention to trim levels - decided I didn't need the hardcore offroad...

Thanks for the replies... glad to hear that it does at least have the automatic brake actuated wheel slip control - like my old Taco. I guess that's "Brake Lock Differential (BLD) in Jeep-speak". I feel much better about it now... Thanks again! I'll defintely be upgrading the tires - and I'll...

So, I’m 57 years old and just bought my first Jeep… and in fact, my first 4x4. I didn’t do enough homework before buying and bought a “Sport S” trim and just realized that the thing has open diffs front and rear. I pulled my build sheet and it says “conventional differentials” on both ends. I...

Just bought my Gladiator last week. Went on an Amazon/Quadratec shopping spree and bought a console organizer tray, door sill protectors, a BedRug bed mat and a roll-up tonneau cover. Installed everything today. Loving this thing so far!

I would have preferred an extended cab/6' bed like the illustration and green one in the rendering above... but I'm sure the 4-door will come in handy occasionally.

I would add the weak sauce halogen headlights to the list, since they're my biggest gripe so far. Granted I bought a Sport S that stickered for "only" $46k, but NO vehicle priced anywhere over HALF that should come with halogen headlights anymore. They are truly pathetic. The cheap-feeling turn...
