  1. Parking break lever fail safety issue

    That escalated quickly :) My truck is currently at my local dealer. My brake has SOME remaining effectiveness but the handle has only slight resistance and never gets tight before hitting the stop at the top of the travel range. Plus when disengaging the handle there’s an audible ā€œclinkā€ noise...
  2. 2023 JT Order Books Open July 15, 2022

    Excessive compared to what? A Charger is more expensive than a Camry even though they’re both large four-door sedans, is that excessive? A Hemi Ram is more expensive than the Charger with the same engine, is that excessive? A TRX is more expensive than the Hemi 1500 for the same platform and...
  3. 2023 JT Order Books Open July 15, 2022

    What convertible pickup would you recommend one consider instead? If you don’t need the removable top, or removable doors, or manual transmission, or the breadth of aftermarket options, or just plain like the styling, Ram would be happy to sell you a 1500 which offers a combination of...
  4. I Learned This Today - Thunderstorm Warning

    It's part of Sirius Guardian, which I think has a longer (5 years??) trial. I think it also has traffic announcements, though I almost always navigate via CarPlay so it's hard to say for sure. Down here in Central Florida I get that storm popup about every day and half :)
  5. Bestop Soft Door Review

    For what it’s worth, zero flapping or pulling away from the body on my JK Jeep half doors used for 100k+ miles.
  6. Bestop Soft Door Review

    When you throw them on, do they do adequate at keeping water out? Another user above notes one may want to throw a cover over the doors in the rain, which to me largely defeats the purpose, since if I'm using a cover I don't need the doors in the first place. Ultimately I find these doors...
  7. Stock wheels and 35’s

    This is okay in theory. In practice I had a Discount Tire manager at Store A turn down my business for this reason. Manage at Store B was happy to take it and sell me the tire certificates to match. Practically of course running 35s on a 7.5" rim is 1,000% fine.
  8. Mopar Extended Warranty $25 over Dealer Cost--NOW OFFERING PAYMENT PLANS ALL ONLINE!!

    I appreciate where you are coming from, and I'm anti-dealer-shenanigans when it comes to warranties. But this offering is not a warranty, it's a service plan. Accordingly there are looser prohibitions when it comes to their ability to void or otherwise not honor it. I'm not trying to fearmonger...
  9. 2022 Jeep Gladiator (JT) ORDER GUIDE!! [Updated Monthly]

    I believe there is zero evidence that Mojito will return in MY22. There is considerable evidence Gecko will, but rymanrph’s speculation above is a very plausible alternative explanation for Gecko’s fleet guide inclusion.
  10. Arizona WTB

    Lol this is a wacky thread. OP, typically you’ll want to put what you want in the subject line so people know whether to click in. But I agree the ā€˜toy Gladiator’ confusion seems completely out of left field.
  11. Florida Rugged Ridge HD Full Width Bumper $500

    This is my favorite reasonably priced bumper and with the IMHO better matched overrider. Very tempting; GLWS. EDIT: May as well ask a question - do you recall if you experienced any noticeable sag installing the bumper with or without the winch?
  12. 2022 Jeep Gladiator (JT) ORDER GUIDE!! [Updated Monthly]

    If your friend is really in the loop ask him when/if Gecko is returning this MY. I mostly kid, except there were semi-credible reasons to believe an on-site ping is what flipped the switch to make Gecko orderable in MY21... Better yet, if your friend can get us clarity on the 3.0 turbo I-6...
  13. Official: Hurricane Twin-Turbo 3.0 I-6 Coming for Jeep With Over 500 HP and 475 ft-lbs!

    1) Corporate fuel economy numbers 2) No good alternatives if the HEMI has packaging, cooling, or just market segmentation issues 3) Few/no examples of Jeep tying trim levels to engine output on Wrangler/Gladiator IIRC 4) Optimistically, they knew the Hurricane was coming and so waited for it...
  14. Official: Hurricane Twin-Turbo 3.0 I-6 Coming for Jeep With Over 500 HP and 475 ft-lbs!

    Not quoting but octane requirements are discussed above. FYI the press release specifically noted the SO version of the engine would run on regular (premium recommended). The HO requires premium. That leads me to a quick side-bar that unlike, say, some German turbo applications where there is...
  15. Official: Hurricane Twin-Turbo 3.0 I-6 Coming for Jeep With Over 500 HP and 475 ft-lbs!

    Guys, maybe you all missed it, but the original leak out of Mexico that prompted all the discussion about the 3.0 over the last few monthly listed JL and JT specifically by those model codes. Now maybe that leak is wrong, but the same leak talked about the production start date for the 3.0 and...
  16. Florida Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop

    Can you share more about what functionality the broken part impacts? I'm familiar with the sunrider in principle but don't know what is tensioned by that piece.
  17. Gupton pickup logistics

    As others have said, they pick you up if you can. Reach out early to get on the schedule/check availability. Sometimes the driver isn't working and other times (typically Saturdays) he may be fully booked.
  18. 2022 Jeep Gladiator (JT) ORDER GUIDE!! [Updated Monthly]

    My guess is that ā€œ500 Gobi’sā€ came from someone reading the ā€˜limited edition’ descriptor, saying something like ā€˜that probably means there will only be 500 made’ and someone else turning that into a ā€˜fact’ they repeat. Wrangler and Gladiator are high volume vehicles. If there was a 500-unit...
  19. Koons Gladiator Group Buy

    That said, I’d still reach out to Craig. My sister priced him and Daniel and Gupton was cheaper but it was very close and even closer if financing via Chrysler, like under 1% net difference. That’s the main thing versus back pre-COVID, Koons didn’t use to require any financing while now I...
