  1. Jeep Gladiator Corrosion TSB Disaster

    If done at the Maaco shop I’ve used many times in the past driving old cars, it would look like new! I had the last color changed car for over 20 years that was still amazing looking.
  2. Where can i get a 3.6 cam?

    Where is Iskenderian when we need him? With so much backlog and need for upgrades, why hasn’t the aftermarket responded?
  3. Pizza Cutters - 35X10R17 Skinny Tires installed

    That’s exactly the size of not tread pattern I plan on when I replace my stock 245/75-17, on my original color matched Chrystal Granite Metallic alloy wheels, when the time comes at 1/2-1/3 tread left, just as the get sketchy in the rain on highway runs. I’ve had too many hair raising...
  4. How accurate is the miles to empty?

    When I bought my 2024 Sport S, I found 50 miles from home with a $15,000 discount, I had found on line. The truck had just rolled off the trailer a couple days before and went through the dealer prep and cleaned. When I first looked at it there were 4 miles on it, with the gas gauge just a bit...
  5. What is this panel for in the bed on the driver side?

    That’s the cover for the anti-cavitation drive, a rare option used in conjunction with a special snorkel for deep water crossings, so your competitors can’t follow your tracks.
  6. Pentastar Tick on potential purchase

    Wow confrontational on every post? That must I used was for me, not you nor anyone else. The dealer I referenced has a service manager who has been there since the beginning 18 years ago. His long term records with valve train wear has proven less wear using his methods, over the long 18 years...
  7. Tire poke and clearance

    Yea that’s as far as I would ever want to go beyond the edges. I’m not a fan of wide tires anyway. Especially in heavy rain. I prefer nothing wider than 255, with at least 75 aspect ratio sidewalls. With no larger than 17x9” wheels. That’s what I will add when my stock 245/75-17 loose 1/3-1/2...
  8. Pentastar Tick on potential purchase

    Why hasn’t the aftermarket design and turn new and improved valve train components, camshaft, rockers, all the parts that have a history to fail? Along with an extra bit of torque in the mix? As is these small displacement engines are making higher or the same hp as V8 engines of 20+ years ago...
  9. Lemon Law versus Jeep

    No but it will mark the vehicle as such as a warning to the next guy. The dealer might try giving you a sweet trade deal. But the next buyer suffers.
  10. Pentastar Tick on potential purchase

    Not enough information, like miles, price? If anything more than 50,000 miles an $25,000? You can buy a new one for around $35,000, with better financing and the same payment for longer term. Good luck!
  11. New Gladiator: Best Advice?

    Buy a loaded Sport S with Max Tow! If you can find one with a healthy discount. That with a second set of tires and wheels can be as much fun off road as any, but get the best mileage on highway trips with original tires and still do ok off road. You will save at least ten thousand over a...
  12. Looks like I'm coming back. Mojave or Rubicon?

    Ok! We wish you all the best luck and thrills. If you’re never planning to use the soft top? I would leave it in the box and sell it locally if possible for a sell it now price!
  13. What do yall think my Gladiator is worth?

    Mine was MSRP $51,400, Sport S no max tow, but heated seats/wheel, Adaptive Cruise Control and rear traffic warning, UCONNECT 5.0 with 911/SOS, spray in bed liner, color matching 17” alloy wheels in Chrystal Granite Metallic. Out the door with 2019 Colorado Crew Cab 4x4 WT trade was $36,400...
  14. What are the cons to adding a rear locker?

    Both ways if not too much trouble. Or just wheels. Only forged wheels weigh less than cast alloy.
  15. What are the cons to adding a rear locker?

    I’m very curious about the weight difference between stock 17” Jeep alloy wheels and aftermarket 20” alloy wheels. The difference between the two running in top gear I believe is due to the extra weight involved, from either a dead stop, to spinning up to pass on the highways. It’s called...
  16. What are the cons to adding a rear locker?

    Unless you’re planning on going off road over half the time, over boulders and deep ruts, why would you want anything over 33-35”? That will ruin any on road dynamics designed into all factory Jeeps.
  17. 2025 Easter Jeep Safari Gladiator Concepts Unveiled

    My outright favorite is the reg cab Gladiator, only in a different color, my favorite is what I have, Chrystal Granite Metallic. Add in some dark green accents. That heavily 5/4 ton M 715 influenced rig looks awesome! Now just add the 3.0 HO Hurricane, similar to the original to top it off with...
  18. Frustration with off road speciality shop shortcut

    Back a few years I bought a new Z71 Chevy 4x4 in 2011, ext cab LT, that was a great trouble free truck. The first couple oil changes and tire rotations were complimentary and I had them done early, like I always do. But the second time I got a flat, that was a blessing in disguise. After AAA not...
  19. What are the cons to adding a rear locker?

    Not sure never had a switchable locker. But plenty of Detroit Lockers, Eaton G80 in Chevys. Plus a 2003 Dakota with optional LSD. the Detroits were in 70’s muscle cars, that worked great in a straight line, noisy in slow turns, decent in snow. The G80’s were also decent for light work...
