  1. Jeep is holding my truck on the shipping lot for no reason

    Nope, my order was held up by trucks headed for dealer lots. So, sold means nothing. In fact, in y opinion the fact the truck is already sold puts it in the back of the shipping list.
  2. Stolen 2023 Mojave

    Everybody recommends a Club. Steering wheel clubs are easy to cut. I prefer Pedal Jacks that lock the brake pedal up (and the clutch pedal in my case). The clutch and brake pedal are heavier steel and harder to cut as well as it is pretty awkward to use a hand saw in the foot well. Pedal...
  3. Usless Worthless Mods and Accessories (WTF?!? Thread)

    I think those shifter hoodies are a wife's way of saying, "Put a raincoat on that!".
  4. Usless Worthless Mods and Accessories (WTF?!? Thread)

    Wow, as if there wasn't enough protruding parts to wax around!
  5. Replacement Key Fob Cost?

    My son went swimming with my FOB. It cost me just over $200 to order through the dealer. I had to provide the VIN so they could cut the key. Now I have to schedule the mating to the truck. Maybe I could have done it without the new key cutting and put the old one into the new FOB, but it was...
  6. "Chunky" 6MT shifting?

    My Jeep isn't sweet shifting as my 90's Hondas were. But it shifts way better than my 2004 Cad CTS-V with a TREMEC 6, way better. I disliked the shift so much I took it to my dealer and said, "This thing is really notchy, especially 1-2." HIs answer was to call his buddy at the Chevy...
  7. Evolution.... where did you start? Or is the Gladiator your first Jeep?

    I guess I am the oddball with evolution containing mostly non-Jeep DNA, a few kangaroos and wallabies thrown in, I guess. My 4x4 life started with a move to Alaska in 1982. I bought a '61 GMC Carryall (Suburban if you will though not named that). V-6, lifted 6", manual tranny, manual transfer...
  8. Yet another ESS (start/stop) thread.

    A big thumbs up! One of the first things into my '23. Simple solution and no Tazer/mini Taser left in your diagnostic port.
  9. Auto stop, worst idea ever just got worse.

    Yes, actually! They always round up.
  10. Auto stop, worst idea ever just got worse.

    When i lived in Utah-Salt Lake City salt was part of life in the winter, That is why most of us undercoated and maintained that undercoating which saved the bolts through the floor-dimmer, seat belts, seat mounts. Remember Ziebart? You choose to deal with your environment or you choose to let...
  11. Auto stop, worst idea ever just got worse.

    Hey, now we got through hate of ESS and stalk mounted hi/lo beams that I dislike, too; let's try try another saddle sore that wears on me. (oh, and I I never minded changing that floor switch, sure was easier than disassembly of a steering column) Now let's rag in the placement of the...
  12. Stupid ESS System

    There IS another way besides the Tazer option. I bought a plug in electronic but that simply plugs into the harness below the steering column. This item remembers your last ESS choice so you would not have to select ESS off every time you start. I think it was the Smartstopstart memory...
  13. U bought exact trim wanted, what’s first 10mods

    Jeep is in storage in another state ‘til January so I cannot get a picture now. It is a hood Lock that rivet installs in existing holes in the center of the radiator support. Comes with the rivets. I had to buy a heavier rivet tool but can use one anyhow. Once installed you insert your key...
  14. U bought exact trim wanted, what’s first 10mods

    2023 Sport S (because I wanted to add accessories and features myself and operate the windows/door locks from my seat), Manual shift: 1. full size bed mat, (already had factory Bedliner), installed rubber plugs in the bed holes including that giant tailgate hole. 2. ESS memory, so it remains in...
  15. Opinion on name of your jeep decal on hood?

    I bought a Sport S so I WOULD NOT have any decals on my hood! I built that truck to my specs starting with the Sport S base. So even if your truck's name is "Shredder" I favor your choice. Then I removed the big Jeep letters from the tailgate and replaced them with smaller letters in the...
  16. Manual Shift option wears out transmission

    Not quite, in the tranny and engine some becomes heat but mostly it is converted to mechanical energy expended to hold back the vehicle counter to gravity, the brakes convert the energy to heat.
  17. Manual Shift option wears out transmission

    Wow, This is how I have driven my 1994 Suburban for years, manually dropping gears to slow and tow. Shocking that a Jeep "trail built" tranny cannot handle it. It shouldn't be referred to as "abuse". I consider it normal transmission operation. How about driving down Pikes' Peak or any...
  18. Long term storage

    Fill your gas tank, I use Sta-bil but at 3-4 months that is not necessary. I leave my Jeep for 6 months. I do take my battery inside and use a maintainer with a timer, just one hour a day. I also make my last two fill ups with alcohol free gas. I have had troubles at 6 months with poor...
  19. Push Button Start - Issue with the Button not reading Fob

    My son went salt water swimming with my fob in his pocket. We found online (by phone from the beach!) that if the fob is dead you can push the start button with the corner of the fob that has they key hinge and start the truck. I had never heard of this but it works with a completely dead...
