I've had a few different makes and models over the years, all trucks with plenty of plastics over the wheel wells, bumpers and bed rails, but no real fading. Meanwhile, I have seen faded out plastics on Jeeps since the TJ was new. My own Gladiator is in the garage unless being driven and I...

I'm sure I'm in the minority of people who have manual windows (2023 Sport - total base besides Max Tow). But for those that do, do you find your windows rolling down on their own? As in every few weeks you have to roll them back up because they creeped open a quarter inch or so? I roll the...

I bought some Cerakote Trim Coat today for my unpainted fenders and all the rest of the plastics with the goal being sun protection. Opening the box, the instructions state not for use on new vehicles. So, I went to Internet and apparently you're supposed to wait until the plastics are damaged...

I've seen it mentioned on here as well as other forums that larger tires are relatively new on the scene, as in last couple decades (as in, 32" used to be considered large). Is that really the case? I grew up off-road in an off-roading community in South Florida where 44" was pretty damn...

Living in South Florida - there's a JL or JT at every stop light and plenty in every parking lot. I always look at hinges, hood, and tailgate for signs of corrosion. Until yesterday, I've not seen it once. I'd say that's a pretty good sign. Yesterday however I saw my first, and it was the...

I was at Barrett Jackson Palm Beach this weekend and while walking out I saw a Grenadier in the parking lot right as the couple was climbing in. Conversation happened and I was given a tour. Cool vehicle and super nice couple! The interior looked amazing, seats, dash, etc. I loved the...

What's the vote on the best manufacturer for colored grille inserts? How do they attach - adhesive? I have a Hydro Blue and I intend to do one white insert once my white wheels arrive. Thanks for any input.

I was in sugar sand today when the LSD couldn't keep up in 2WD and I started to bog down. Came to a stop, shifted to 4WD low and continued on for a min before suddenly the vehicle redlined while getting a "neutral" flashing on the instrument cluster. I shifted the transmission into neutral...

I mean I guess I could just try it, but curious as to anyone's experiences. I have a Sport with no power locks, windows, etc....totally stripped besides Max Tow (gotta capitalize that right?). I've heard all about pin damage and whatnot from repeated door removal - so if I have nothing to...

If the wider grille slots on the Gladiator allow better airflow, why not streamline the parts chain and allow Wrangler to benefit as well?

Noticed today. It's VERY hard to the touch. 2,500 miles on a 2023 garage kept Sport MaxTow. I don't think it was there on last wash. No signs on any other hinges. What do you think?

I just ordered 42" traction boards which I'd like to store against the rear bed wall. I have a few ideas on how to do it, but I was wondering if anyone who is already doing this has suggestions. I have a plastic drop-in bedliner BTW.

After four months of ownership I just discovered the Gladiator has an hours on engine meter. I've never had a vehicle with that feature and was surprised to learn that at 1,500 miles (only drive it on weekends) that it has 70 engine hours. That seems high to me but I guess I spend a lot of...

Just how widespread / common is this issue of door hinges, doors, hoods and tailgates corroding under the paint? (Perhaps this belongs in a different forum but I thought it more of a general experience / opinion topic). After reading other forums and visiting FB pages dedicated to JL's and...

I'm pretty stuck on those Quadratec retro wagon wheels for my Hydro Blue Sport - but that's entirely contingent on me being able to find the red/white/blue center caps. Quadratec just says they're "available" however no indication as to where. Any suggestions?

Hello all, I'm getting conflicting info all over the place. Does anyone have experience installing Rokblokz mud flaps on a max tow? Some sources say they fit fine, some say only the fronts fit, some say only the rears fit, and some say fender lining trimming is necessary while others don't...

As a recent purchaser of a 2023 Sport with the plastic bumpers, does anyone have any knowledge of the change in overall vehicle length if adding the factory steel bumpers? It's a factor as I'm at length minimums in my garage as-is. Adding even two inches will make garaging it much more...

Recent first time Gladiator owner (kinda first time Jeep owner unless you count brief 1976 CJ-5 ownership) with the purchase of a new 2023 Sport. It's entirely base model except for the max tow package. When I purchased about six weeks ago, I figured the black steel wheels would be first to...
