I don't get all the chatter on the forums about an LSD being bad in the winter. They are a tremendous plus in the winter. Much better than an open differential or a locker for snow covered roads. Awesome that you can now get trac lock on the max tow. It makes sense to have it for dry roads and...
I wish we could get a decent 4 cyl turbo in the gladiator. That is all this truck needs for most applications. Modern turbo 4s are powerful, rich in torque, and fuel efficient. A V8 is total overkill.
I had the same rust speckles all over the bed and tailgate of my white JT. It scared me but I clayed them off ant they have not come back. I'm guessing its something in the road salt? Strange thing is I've never noticed them on my other cars.
For sure a rack mount would be a nice solution. I put mine in the bag and then put a strap across to jeep them in place. Can't wait to take them off again in three months. :(
The ones I saw on the lot did not have selec-trac. They had the same system as all gladiators. I did notice that they had AT tires but the stickers showed that being another $195 option not in the NE package.
It's strange I did a search on autotrader and almost none of the north editions have side steps. Went to my local dealer and there are two, no side steps. :facepalm:
The gearing in the JK vs JT is totally different. While the JTs transmission and linkage is clearly better the JK had better gear ratios which would've been nice on the JT. FCA was clearly going for MPG with the JT wide gearing and two overdrives. This would be ok with a torque rich engine...
Correct my math was off. From my autotrader search it does appear that the sidesteps are not included on most North Editions. Is anyone able to tell what the special instrument bezels are?
Saw some of these at a local dealer and most were equipped with AT tires which is now a $195 option for the overland. They look much better then the standard HT's.
Yes but with most cars with a proximity key the trunk/tailgate will unlock when you touch the handle. This is not the case with the JT system. There is no sensor at the tailgate negating the purpose of the system.
No LED headlights for the sport(s). Also can't get soft touch doors and dash, rear USB, jeyles entry, and factory leather. Also lsd not available on manual sport but is available on overland spor . No AT tires for overland 18 inch wheels from the factory.
