Well, almost twice the torque than the gas to start with. 260 ft-lb vs 440 ft-lb. That alone will help pull the weight better. And yes, better fuel economy as well.
While true. They claim its due to "cooling". Whatever, I call bull shit. But either way. If you hook up 7000 lbs (thats 1K more than what the diesel is "rated" for) behind JT with "Max Tow" and a diesel JT, I promise you the diesel will handle that 7K FAR better than the gas Max Tow could ever...
If you dont mind used. A Rubicon with the diesel is the superior set up. Most torque, best fuel economy, steel knuckles and sounds the best. Although my opinion might be a bit biased haha.
Bestop and Mastertop both make a decent looking bikini/safari top for the Gladiator.

It wont last. Ive been through 2 gorilla glass windshields. Each lasted 4 months (on my wifes JL). My Gladiator is just under 2 years old its about to have its 3rd windshield replaced. I live in NM as well.
Again? They issued the same recall last year in September.

The body is roughly the same size has the headlight. They aren't that big. Its just angle of the dangle :CWL:. Baja Designs LP6. Their LP9's make the LP6 look tiny. The low and high beam feature of the LP6 is nice though.
Thats actually pretty good. $120 for 24 lugs. I was expecting much higher from AEV. And they look OEM too! I'll be placing a order here soon for the AEV. A set of 4 MOPAR black lug nuts is $75. For 4!
