  1. What’s the big deal with the Bestop Sunrider?

    I've had hard top only, then Bestop Sunrider, and now hardtop and full factory soft top. The sunrider is certainly convenient, but imo not worth the cost. I found the noise level with the sunrider to be worse than the full factory soft top- felt like I was inside a drum at highway speeds. Seemed...
  2. An all aluminum Modular Rack System!

    Very interested in this- what is the process to adjusting the rack height? My ideal setup is one rack that allows me to set it low to carry bikes, roof top tent etc... then adjust to above cab height to carry longer items like kayaks and canoes, and work with an inside the rail tonneau like...
  3. Need Some Advice on Rust Protection

    In regards to the factory coatings the good news is that in my experience FCA has some of the best. After owning multiple newer FCA vehicles, as well as Chevy, Nissan, and Ford I can say the FCA frames, axles and diffs etc have held up the best here in the extreme salt and brine of western NY...
  4. Tow package and Max tow package are NOT the same!

    I hate to say it but I think the load the op is looking to pull is out of even a max tow JT’s comfort zone. If you add a front end loader and something like a bush hog etc it’s going to be overweight maybe even without the trailer- implements for that size tractor are heavy. I own a JD 3320...
  5. Is anybody happy with the new Gladiator

    Nearing 10k miles on my Rubicon, purchased in February. Have had more fun and made more memories with my family in this vehicle so far than every other vehicle I've owned combined. And so far not a single hint of an issue. I came from full size trucks (most recently a lemon of an F150) and have...
  6. My new 2020 Mojave Gladiator

    True- the frame stiffening really makes you wonder... Im hoping thats only needed for hardcore dune blasting/ jumps. Alot of this is probably dependent on where you live. Here in the northeast we dont have dunes, or alot of rock crawling either. The Rubicon front locker is very helpful in mud/...
  7. My new 2020 Mojave Gladiator

    Or towing- remember its derated to 6k. Was announced when I bought my Rubicon and thats what decided it for me. Also you can upgrade the Rubicon shocks easier and for less money to make it similar to a Mojave as compared to adding a front locker, sway disco and t-case to make a Mojave a Rubicon.
  8. Why did everyone decide their trim level (sport vs rubicon etc)?

    Rubicon for me. Needed either max tow or rubicon for my towing needs. Every time I configured a max tow the way I wanted it I ended up at 49k. To me the Rubicon just seemed like a better value (keep in mind this was before the covid rebates). The additional 6-7k seemed like a bargain for all the...
  9. Anyone removed the exhaust resonator yet?

    Highly recommend the AFE Rockbasher for anyone looking to gain sound and clearance. 4k miles since I added mine, zero codes or issues, sounds better than I thought a V-6 could. Easy install in your driveway.
  10. Dust in bed even with tonneau?

    I already have the smartliner as well as weathertech tailgate liner installed- still full of dust.
  11. Dust in bed even with tonneau?

    Anyone else get a ton of dust in the bed when driving dirt roads etc? I have a JT Rubicon, no bedliner other than smartliner mat and weathertech tailgate liner, with an access literider tonneau. I have added additional weather-stripping to the bulkhead area of the tonneau including covering...
  12. Wait for Diesel or just get a gasser?

    The last Ecodiesel had a terrible track record, I couldnt get over that even with the new generation. When the new ecodiesel was released for Ram trucks there was a ton of chatter about the fact that the new upgrades didnt address some of the biggest reliability issues of the previous version...
  13. Looking to add a bumper to my Rubicon

    Leaning towards ordering an XRC- how is the protection for the sway disco? Curious since they dont work with the factory skid... Do you feel the weight or notice any sag?
  14. Zero Issues with Gladiator?

    No issues here at 5k miles. Seems strange it would have that issue since the pentastar is in nearly everything FCA makes.
  15. Okay Fisherman, How are YOU transporting your rods?

    I see alot of people here with large rod tubes made from pvc mounted on bed racks. Seems like the best way with the only downside being the need for a rack. Seems popular with the kayak fishing guys.
  16. Recessed vs. top mount winch- cooling concerns?

    Looking for opinions on recessed vs. top (surface) mount winch bumpers. I am looking to ditch the plastic rubi bumper for a beefier winch capable option. There are several bumpers I like (fishbone mako for example) that are top mount for the winch. My concern is with all the work Jeep did to...
  17. Hard Top or Soft

    I've had all options- bought with hard top, added sunrider for hardtop, then found a deal on a premium soft top. If I could only have 1 it would be the soft top. It is an excellent design as far as ease of removing rear window and corner panels- literally 1-2 minutes tops. If maximizing top off...
  18. How do you deal with the thought of another full size truck?

    I still have a full size (2018 F150 Supercrew 3.5 Ecobust). The truth is I should really still be driving the F150- it's a lease with about 15k miles left before I give it back next December. But I can hardly force myself to drive it, it's been nothing but problems, and there just isn't the...
