I like the ideas so far. Some sort of bumper mount seems to be the best alternative so far to keep the noise down and preserve what little aerodynamics the Jeep has. I appreciate all ideas and comments, and have some research to do...
Of note: I've heard a lot of folks mention hood glare on...
I invested in lights for my last '22 Gladiator Overland and while the setup was fantastic for off-road night use I never really appreciated the amount of incremental noise that came with it especially when driving at high speeds on the highway. I'm also sure they did not do me any favors in...
That thing is wild looking!!! Saw one locally built for sale at the Mecum auction but only one axel drove in the rear. Second axel not attached to anything. Just for show. I also notice this in the listing, which I can’t believe is right:
MPG City / Hwy: 22 / 28
First run today. Went on a trail I know well so I could do an objective comparison between old and new. Well, I was able to go twice as fast with half the rattle! Felt like someone ironed out the trail. Wife was with me and said if she’d known it was such a massive difference in ride she...
Took this picture today of the stuff that destroys tires around here. That’s why my new Mojave has Wildpeaks too.
So I can run over a whole lot of this stuff…
To get away from people and be here 😎
When I bought my first Gladiator (Overland) it came with LT tires. I lived in Western NC and knowing that I had a cross country move coming in the next year I decided to run them on every type of road and terrain I could before I decided what I really wanted. Those LT tires did well on the...
My first Rubicon came with MT Firestones from the factory, Lord I learned to HATE those tires real quick. They were NOISY!!!!! You could hear that Jeep rumble from a mile away. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure the new ones are much better but I just have a loooong memory. My current environment is mostly...
While at the dealer I had an option of 2 Mojave Xs. The first one was black which by itself it's a no go living just a few miles away from the actual Mojave desert. But the deal killer was I looked at the tires and they were MTs?!?!?!? So I asked the sale guy who was the brain surgeon that...
You know, even if you don't go off-road much a lot of folks don't understand hw nice it is to own a Gladiator. This is my fifth Jeep product and the Gladiator is the FIRST Jeep I've owned that is wife/dog approved for long highway trips. Actually she has a VERY nice brand new SUV with every...
Congrats to you too! The Rubicon was my bucket list vehicle for a long time and this was a HARD choice! But in the end having the actual Mojave desert right in my backyard and this thing pretty much designed for desert running which is 90% of my off-roading, the chips fell where they fell...
My ‘22 Gladiator Overland was a GREAT vehicle for me. With just a leveling kit and good Falken 34” tires it got me into places where most folks won’t go. But as I get bolder in my off-roading it started showing some slight shortfalls. So while I considered my next set of mods and cost I...
Whenever my very expensive and very smart on board computer says I need an oil change. Been doing that with every vehicle for years never had an issue.
In case you don't know this, ATs will give you better overall driving experience without much of a sacrifice if you actually go off-road. MTs, especially the ones that "won't break the bank" can get VERY noisy after a bit and tend to suck on rain, snow and ice. As others have mentioned...
If you remove the fuse you don't need the Jumper. The Auto Stop/Start will still work the way it used to, the warning light will go away, but now it's just working off the main battery. You can just turn it off using the dasboard switch or you can get a Start Stop/delete on Amazon if you don't...
