  1. Hope this dose not happen with the Gladiator

    FCA has had a half dozen “solutions” for this issue over the past three years. First and foremost, let’s all agree that “vague steering” is not “death wobble.” Having said that, it is simply baffling to see how incompetent FCA has been in diagnosing this issue properly. When customers started...
  2. Need advice/help on what model to order this time...

    I’m gonna put on my Dr. Phil hat for a second: I think you are looking for someone to help you convince yourself that you are doing the right thing by trading in a 2020 JT for a 2021 with the 8.4” screen. I don’t think anyone can answer that question but yourself. If I were in your shoes and...
  3. Consumer Reports Gives the 2021 Jeep Gladiator the Edge Over the Toyota Tacoma

    I owned a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road. It was very well put together, it rode comfortably, was quiet as a vault, and very capable on the trail. But was never vale to find a comfortable driving position, and the powertrain was atrocious: the engine felt anemic and the automatic refused to...
  4. Need advice/help on what model to order this time...

    I looked into doing that for my JKUR Recon, but the quotes I received from several body shops were totally ridiculous: $1,000 to $1,500 to prime and paint. If I wanted the lumpy finish of the black hardtop smoothed down, it was a lot more still.
  5. Need advice/help on what model to order this time...

    You have several options that suggest you should be looking at an Overland. --e.g., painted top and fenders, leather, etc. I am not too familiar with the Freedom package, but if it is anything like on Wrangler, the Freedom Edition should be like an Overland-lite. If so, you should be focusing...
  6. What's more rare on the road?

    80A is like an in-between a Sport and an Overland: it has Overland/Rubicon’s grille, Overland/Sport’s hood, Overland’s standard painted fenders and 18” wheels, but like Sport it has no standard side steps, no optional body-color hardtop or leather seats.

  8. Motor Trend's Most Disappointing Cars and SUVs We Drove in 2020

    Motor Trend is falling into irrelevance. They must be desperate for clicks.
  9. Any rumors for 2022 Gladiator changes?

    Since when have FCA or Jeep given a f-ck about crash tests...? Jeeps have sat at the bottom of the crash rating for years. It is a Jeep thing...
  10. New Jeep Owner with DIY questions

    I’m not the most mechanically inclined person: I have swapped bumpers and grilles numerous times; it is easy. If I can do it, you can do it. Looking at your list: I installed the Mopar headliner; it was easy. I suspect Hotheads is about the same Not sure what that is I’d go to an audio shop...
  11. Trail Recon Gladiator

    The guys from The Story Till Now are in British Columbia, right across the border from me. Their videos inspire me to go play outside when the border finally reopens.
  12. 20 Things About JT That Make No Sense

    After only 1 year on the market, Gladiator is already outselling Ridgeline, Frontier and Canyon, and closing in on Ranger and Colorado. So it’s got to be doing something right.
  13. One thing that sucks about my jeep......slammed doors!

    These doors close like a Lexus compared to those on my JK.
  14. What Jeep stuff did y’all get for Christmas?

    Here she is with new Quadratec wheels and 35” Generals
  15. Trail Recon Gladiator

    On second thought, trading in his Gladiator for a Wrangler diesel + a Power Wagon may simply be a business decision to expand his viewership.
  16. Trail Recon Gladiator

    Indeed. He can get lost sometimes going on and on about some new gadgetry that just makes him look a bit ridiculous. I agree: to each their own. But given that he makes his living with these videos, he could learn to be more discerning about what stuff is worth talking about, and what isn’t.
  17. Registering gladiator in California (bought in Idaho)

    You will also need to schedule a “visual inspection” by someone at the DMV office. Someone comes out, checks the odometer reading, the emissions sticker, and signs a form you will need to present when you go pay for the new tags.
  18. Trail Recon Gladiator

    There are lots of threads arguing between 2 and 4-door Wranglers already.
  19. What Jeep stuff did y’all get for Christmas?

    Santa delivered my new wheels and YETI trackbar on a Sunday. Fun week ahead!
