  1. Flat towing with Gladiator

    What Puddlejumper says above... PLUS, most vehicles being towed flat-four need to have a Brake Buddy or similar brake actuator installed in the driver's floorboard of the towed vehicle. The brakes on the Gladiator won't be connected to the towed car/truck in any way, unless you're towing the...
  2. BRIGHT WHITE Gladiator JT Club

    The aux battery was DOA when I bought the truck. The dealer replaced it. So far the main starter battery seems to be holding up fine. I probably need to replace the windshield wipers too. Small issues though. I like the '22 much better than the '24s, and of course there is no '24 Overland...
  3. BRIGHT WHITE Gladiator JT Club

    Well.... I was the first to test-drive my JTO at my local dealership in October '22, but I had the FCA lifetime warranty on my '16 JKUR. It only had 40k miles on it and I wasn't ready to spend $60k to indulge myself for the truck. Fast forward to March of '24 and the JT was still on the lot...
  4. Considering selling my 2 door JK for a Gladiator. Do I have realistic expectations?

    Having had a '79 CJ7, a '16 JKUR, and now my new '22 JTO, the Gladiator is comparatively rock-solid in a cross wind, primarily because of the longer wheelbase. It is also box-stock and will remain so. A Gladiator is just not going to to be the rock-crawler that a two-door SWB Jeep is. It'll...
  5. BRIGHT WHITE Gladiator JT Club

    Here's my PY7 new-old-stock 2022 Overland bought in March 2024.
  6. Best Cabs for Truck bed

    That WAS high. I ordered most of the options (carpet, sliding side windows, single sliding center window, center latch hardware,) and they got me out the door for $2800 installed. I didn't think that was bad at all. And they did a really nice job on the install.
  7. Best Cabs for Truck bed

    I ordered mine from the dealer over the phone. I never even went to the dealer until it came in and they installed it. I had GREAT service from them.
  8. Wheel & Tire Weight vs Towing Capacity

    In short, the limiting factors are those that remain stock; even if you swap out all of the drivetrain components for a hemi, beefier trans, and Dana 60 axles, and re-do the suspension to one-ton capacity, you still have a stock Gladiator frame. If you're going to do all that, as a practical...
  9. First day with Ineos Grenadier

    Tell us a little more about the Gladiator you traded off. I'm having a little difficulty with your description of the Gladiator's performance. Did you have 35s on it with 3:73 gearing or something? I have a stock '22 Overland, and when I put my foot in it, compared to my '16 Wrangler, it roars...
  10. Best Cabs for Truck bed

    They must have had a run on them. The lead time on mine was three weeks, and it delivered as scheduled. I ordered it the first week in April and they installed it three weeks later.
  11. Wheel & Tire Weight vs Towing Capacity

    Here's the real issue here: every pound you add to the truck deletes a trailer pound from the GCVWR number.
  12. Bumper Reverse Lights

    I'm late to the party, but I installed the Oracle reverse lights in the bumper in my '22 JTO. I used the plug'n'play harness. The install was pretty simple and uneventful. Hopefully they'll be solid performers.
  13. Mopar Splash Gaurds on Willys

    I have the stock MOPAR mud guards on my '22 JTO with rock rails. There wasn't any issue with fitment.
  14. JT a sales failure & doomed to same fate as the Scrambler?

    This is a year-old thread resurrected, and I actually read all 12 pages just to see what folks had to say. I find the complaints of lack of power, driveability, and shifting issues with the 8spd auto to be... well... interesting. Having been one of the few people to actually HAVE a ragtop...
  15. Cam, rockers, and lash adjusters at 39k miles.

    WHAT? EVERYONE knows that Iowa is flat! Just ask anyone who's ridden in RAGBRAI! We live 35 miles NE of Iowa City and our son lives in Des Moines on the border with WDM... we've made that Iowa City-'Tuna run many, MANY times. I don't know what the grades are exactly, but some of them are...
  16. For those without a trailer..........

    My people!!! :LOL:
  17. Best Cabs for Truck bed

    Another ARE cap here. I tow a trailer as well.
  18. Daytona Beach Jeep Bash 2024

    Man... this is pathetic. Bike week gets thousands of bikini-clad lovelies wandering through and around the bikes.... and all we get are photos of is a bunch of trucks? That's the best you can do? Really? :LOL:
  19. Trading in my 2021 Rubicon for new 2023 Max Tow

    My JKU Rubicon had all the hard-core stuff that I never used. I was really pleased that my JT Overland came with a limited slip rear end. That's all I really need.
  20. Trading in my 2021 Rubicon for new 2023 Max Tow

    I had the dealer install the MOPAR OEM brake controller in my overland. it was stupidly expensive compared to the Prodigy, but it integrates into the dash nicely, and if there's a problem with it, the way it interacts with the systems or any other issues, THEY get to deal with it instead of...
