  1. I ordered 2 Spicy Chicken Sandwiches from Wendy's that were raw

    Not under-cooked, uncooked. Yep, raw chicken. I rarely eat fast food any more and this will probably be the last time in my life unless I find myself on the road with no alternative. I contacted the store and as you probably guessed, they offered to give me 2 new sandwiches for "free". If I...
  2. When Sirius/XM trial ends, what will I be missing?

    I'm starting to get emails and offers, but I just don't see the value. I have a 5 minute drive to work and back each day, errands around town, and the occasional trip. And I play a lot of music and podcasts through my phone anyway. I *think* my key fob will do anything the app in my phone can...
  3. What doors-off mirrors are you running?

    With the temps in the 90's and 100% humidity here, figured I'd strip her down in the next week for the first time. This isn't something I expect I'll do often, so don't want anything too fancy, but something that actually allows you to see behind you and stays in place at highway speeds would be...
  4. Gun guys (and gals)

    I've seen that lots of us enjoy hunting and shooting and thought there was enough interest for an off-topic thread about it. I have collected firearms all of my adult life and have amassed quite a few, but we all have favorites. My main range gun is a custom 1911 9mm built on a Colt Competition...
  5. Anyone running steel bumpers without a winch?

    I love my Gladiator, but it just bugs the crap out of me that the bumpers are plastic. I'd like to get steel or aluminum bumpers (at least the front), but most that catch my eye seem like they would look odd with no winch in the giant hole. Full length preferred. Rugged Ridge's Venator is near...
  6. I am 0 for 2 trying to install skid plates

    Very frustrating day. Got some skids in the mail this week and went to install them. Rancho front diff plate has a U bolt that's way too short. No way that's going on with what was provided in the box. And the Rusty's rear lower control arm's hole didn't line up well enough to get a bolt...
  7. Front diff skid plates that fit a non-Rubicon

    Metalcloak told me that theirs won't fit, and no company I've reached out to has given me a "yes" answer yet. Anybody using one that bolted on without having to grind metal or widen out an existing hole?
  8. Took my new Gladiatior on her maiden hunting voyage

    Wish I'd taken more photos, but I don't tend to bring my phone with me when hunting. A buddy of mine works on a farm near me that is just packed with wild turkeys (except during turkey season). My niece got married on opening day and that's thus far been my only day to actually get one. But this...
  9. Is my hood latch wonky or am I doing something wrong?

    Just popped the hood to show the engine to a friend and now the driver’s side latch won’t close tightly. I’ve tried doing each side first, opened and closed several times but keeps doing this: It’s functioning and holds the hood closed, but is not lining up properly.
  10. 2021 Sarge Green Willys mostly stock "build"

    Thought I'd start a truck journal just to have all of my stuff in one place. Ordered a Willys on 3-3-21 and it delivered in 16 days from the day I ordered. Didn't join Tread Lightly until the 28th of February so had to leave it at the dealer's for a week, then there were issues with the FCA...
  11. North Carolina Sold: Willys (Rubicon) take off rock rails, Asheville area

    I got nerf bars and was sadly unable to keep my stock rails so they are for sale. Asking $300. I took them off the 2nd day I had the truck so 16 miles on them, all on-road. Like new, not a scuff on these.
  12. REALLY frustrated with Tread Lightly/FCA affiliates website

    Like a lot of us, I joined Tread Lightly to get an additional 1% off of invoice. My truck came in a record 16 days (including 2 weekends) from ordering and I had to wait until my 30 days was up. No biggie. I called them Friday to get my control number and they said I would need to sign up for...
  13. Has anyone found the perfect Gladiator water bottle?

    I can't be the only one who lugs around a bottle of water everywhere. I'm picking my Gladiator up in 4 days and took some photos. Noticed that the cup holders are kind of square, and look too small to fit my 32 oz Nalgene. So just wondering if anyone has an "everyday carry" bottle that holds a...
  14. Freedom top storage in truck bed

    Picking my new Gladiator up on Monday and I'll be eager to take the panels off. Somewhere on these forums I saw where someone had made a holder for the FT cover bag using 2x4s that fit perfectly in the bed. I used the search feature and couldn't find it so I searched the "What did you make"...
  15. Picking up new Gladiator, what to look for

    I've heard people here say that they only got one key fob in some instances, and Willy owners who didn't get the all weather floor mats that are supposed to be standard with that model. I'm picking up a week from today and just want to make sure I'm getting everything I paid for. Thought it...
  16. My truck arrived at the dealership but my FCA control # needs 9 more days

    I decided I was going to order a Gladiator and joined Tread Lightly on the 28th of February and placed my order on March 3rd. It seems my truck arrived today. Do I have to wait until the 28th before I can get my discount? I had no idea it would go from order to delivery in 16 days. Also, would...
  17. School me on rearview mirror dash cams

    I have my eye on this one https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B089SVCW1X/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AZK59AYX46CBC&psc=1 and it gets great reviews but I am wondering folk's thoughts who have real life experience with them. Any other brands I should look into? How is installation, longevity, etc...
  18. Ordered a Willys, question regarding LED package

    Can’t delete thread. Never mind, I realized that the Wrangler comes with LED package standard on the Willys. the Gladiator does not. I thought there would be consistency across trim levels in the two.
  19. Wanting a steel Rubicon front bumper, couple questions

    I just ordered my first ever brand new pickup truck, a sarge green Willys and I’m stoked about it. I was bummed there was no option for steel bumper group on this package, but it fit my needs and budget best. I haven’t found an aftermarket bumper I like better than the stock Rubicon and am...
  20. Does anyone make a decent tail light guard for the JT?

    Apologies if they’re all over the place and my search skills are so poor I can’t find one, but I’m looking for a cage style or bar wrap around type tail light protector. Gladiators have been out for 3 years now so hoping I’m just looking in the wrong places. If anyone has suggestions, I’d...
