  1. Towing with the JTOD -- completed a 520-mile round trip towing a 16 ft Anvil dual axle v-nose cargo trailer

    I have a gasser Overland (ordered 5/19, built 6/19, delivered 7/19) that I tow a travel trailer with...like you, mostly relatively flat east coast. My trailer is 27', ~5,100 lbs with all we want or need, and my Overland handles it very nicely. Good WDH set up and electronic braking system. Yeah...
  2. So happy with my Max Tow Gladiator.. Incredible MPG!

    My stone stock Overland (ordered 5/19, built 6/19, delivered 7/19) gets 21 bopping around in the summer (20 in the winter) and I just took a trip from home to the Raleigh, NC area and back and averaged 26.4 MPG (calculated fill to fill). The best I have seen was 27.6 MPG (again calculated fill...
  3. Who really needs a Gladiator (or two)??

    I've used my Overland's pick-em-up bed for what's it's supposed to be used for. I've hauled at least 1,800 lbs of hardwood flooring home in it (with another 1,600 on a utility trailer at the same time...handled it like a champ), brought home 8 or 9 pallets to make a compost bin, brought home...
  4. Where do you keep your freedom panel storage bag in the jeep?

    I don't. Around 15 April, I put in my BestTop SunRunner, put the Freedom Panels in the bag and hang them up in the garage until around mid-October when I switch back. Then the bag is neatly rolled up and put on a shelf in the garage until spring.
  5. Real World MPG. 2022 Sport S 3.6L w/ Max Tow and stock tires. 3 adults and @460 lbs of gear in the bed. UT to TX and back, then UT to MI and back.

    Not too shabby :rock: A couple of weeks ago I went from S.E. PA to Raleigh, NC and back and averaged 26.2 MPG (calculated fill to fill) in my stone stock '20 Overland (ordered 5/19, built 6/19, delivered 7/19).
  6. towing safely with known death wobble?

    There's gotta be something loose in the front end that's allowing any vibrations to get multiplied into the dreaded Death Wobble. I had a '96 Grand Cherokee Laredo that I put a 3" Rusty's lift on, then took it to get aligned. Left the alignment shop which aligned it to factory specs, hit a...
  7. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Like the 'Simon's Cat' "Feed me" sticker :) :) :)
  8. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Whelp...it be dat time o' de year... Replaced my Freedom panels with my BestTop Sunrider top. And, for the first time, I actually got the Freedom panels into their bag correctly on the FIRST try :rock::rock::rock: It's usually like trying to insert a USB drive...you know, gotta turn it around...
  9. Side cameras and backup cameras what’s your setup?

    NIce. MIne's similar but I don't have the rear two bunks...don't need them as it's just me and the Bride. Also, my dinette side out is big enough I can stretch out on it and not hit either end (I'm 5' 10") and my fridge is on the other side just in front of the bathroom which goes across the...
  10. Help, can’t find ‘Car Wash’ mode

    I just leave it running in neutral with the key fob in the cup holder, and she rolls right through, no muss, no fuss.
  11. Side cameras and backup cameras what’s your setup?

    What Sonic do you have? I have a 2021 Sonic SN220VRB. Love it!!! Tows real nice too.
  12. 1st oil and filter change.

    I did mine after the first 1,000 miles just to get all the metal flashings that wore off during the break in out...not only the oil but the filter too. Probably not all that necessary but, better safe than sorry.
  13. Side cameras and backup cameras what’s your setup?

    I don't have any cameras actually installed. My trailer also has the capacity for a Ferrion but I don't have it. I did purchase a Blue Tooth camera with a magnetic mount to place it on the rear bumper of my trailer, and I was going to use an older cell phone I kept as the screen for it but...
  14. Questions on towing with the Jeep Gladiator, non diesel

    I got lucky with my dealer setting up my BlueOX system. They absolutely nailed it. When I'm towing...no faster than 65 MPH, that's 7th gear at around 2,100 RPMs, and I shift manually all the time whilst towing, and get 12-13 MPG...when I get passed (like I'm standing still) by a...
  15. Gladiator is crap for towing

    I see you work for Weyerhauser there in NC. My cousin retired from their facility in Grayling, MI area a few years ago. She was one of the Safety Managers at their facility there.
  16. Tow mirrors options?

    I have the straps from Thorne Engineering and the JK trailer mirrors I got on Amazon. I have zero issues with the straps. Easy to put on, and they stay as tight as I make them when I put them on.
  17. How many people over 100k miles?

    Mine, ordered 5/19, built 6/19, took delivery 7/19. Y'all puttin' some serious miles on your trucks. I'm just over 30K with mine ? ? ? :):):):):) I keep close tabs on maintenance and, I also tow a 27' travel trailer with her, plus the usual pick-em-up truck kinda schtuffola. Then again, if I...
  18. Replacement LED bulbs for Gladiator with halogen lights

    I tried this initially and while the bulbs were a 'little' brighter, the high beams didn't work at all. Plus, there's that little diffuser in front of the bulb that looks like a Jeep grill that hinders the light a bit. I ended up going with full LED set up found on Amazon for around $245 (it's...
  19. 2021 Gladiator Overland Towing Capacity - Lots of Mixed Information?

    And he's still alive to tell us ? ? ? :CWL::CWL::CWL::CWL::CWL:
  20. Weight distribution hitch ?

    I'd go for the 600 lb WDH. A little overkill never hurt anything...I have the BlueOx WDH system. Works really well with my 27', 5,100 lb with all we want or need, and around a 520 lb tongue weight (estimated based on factory stated 420 lb tongue weight and all the stuff I have in the front pass...
