Agreed, it's just around the hinges, and you have to catch it just right in the light, bit it's there. I call it wavy, but I'll admit that's an exaggeration - it's really just minor distortion.

The SSV Works JJT-SA065 has room for a small tweeter. If you search for it on the JL forums and on the Crutchfield reviews you will see where people have mounted the separate tweeters just inboard of the 6.5s. I'm not sure if there is enough room for a crossover to fit in there. I figured...

I'm not talking about smaller ripples and waves. For example, if you look down the side of the vehicle at the reflection off the doors, they are far from flat. I've never seen a JT or JL with flat doors. The bed and hood are actually pretty nice. Maybe I'm more picky than you:

If, for some strange reason, you broke a shock mount I guarantee they would try to blame it on aftermarket shocks. I can also see a dealer trying to blame driveability issues like pull, vibration, wander or wobble on aftermarket shocks.

Yeah, my fit & finish comment was really aimed more at a comparison to 'normal' vehicles, which might not be a fair comparison. I agree that the Colorado I looked at was horrible in term of F&F, especially exterior. I thought the Tacoma was pretty good overall. My Mojave interior is really...

The important thing is to go into it with your eyes (and ears) wide open. You need to know exactly what you are getting yourself into. The Mojave seats & steering wheel are really comfy, and the suspension is super nice. The 'softer' sway bars allow a little bit more body roll in corners, but...

So, are there widespread reports of oil filter housing leaks on the JT (or JL)? I know this is a fairly common issue on the JK, but the 3.6 in the JT/JL has a different part number oil filter/cooler housing than the JK 3.6.

Thanks. Yeah, I really like it. A little OT, but my daughter and I took the Mojave on some unmaintained dirt roads about a week back (with the tires still at 37psi). The suspension is magic. Ruts, washouts, whoops - it doesn't matter, just take it all at speed. I couldn't stop giggling like...

I wonder how much trim level and suspension / tire changes play into this. My stock Mojave on the factory ATs does really well in cross-winds. On our last highway trip I actually commented to my wife that the Gladiator isn't much worse in the wind than my 2019 Allroad.

I have about 2500 miles on my '21 Mojave auto with ATs and a hard tonneau cover. I run the tires at 37 psi. I've taken three 350-mile round trips from CT to Maine with my wife, 2 kids, all our stuff and assorted tools. I am pleasantly surprised at how well the Mojave rides and handles on the...

Exactly. You have to remember that there are people at the auctions with a lot of disposable income, and they're not afraid to use it. So, there are a few guys there to buy collector cars and the Gladiator catches their eye. They have to arrange shipping anyway, so why not add 1 more vehicle...

If it tracks straight and doesn't vibrate that should mean that the alignment wasn't compromised and the wheel isn't bent. Wheel bearings don't like hard impacts, but the brunt of the force was taken by her bumper and headlight, so I can't see that being an issue in the future. So, chances are...

The 2020 Gladiator Owner's Manual shows 75W-140, but only for the M200 axle. I assume the M200 sees higher loads that require the higher viscosity. My experience is that differential fluid in a powered axle tends to look 'dirty' fairly quick, no matter the vehicle.

The information you are looking for is in the Owner's Manual. It is 75W85 synthetic for the M210 front & M220 rear axles. If you search around a little on the forum, you will also find the listed capacities for the M210 and M220 differentials on the Rubicon. IIRC, it's 1.53Q rear and 1.09Q...

I've tried several different windshield sun shades over the years for my cars, including Weathertech, Covercraft, HeatShield and a few different OEM ones. The best sunshade, without any doubt, is the Intro-Tech Ultimate Reflector. The fit is excellent, it doesn't cause any hazy residue to form...

... make me an offer ... I hate to just have these things sitting around.

I contacted Rokblokz directly, and they would not make them without a logo.

I'm interested in feedback on this as well. My concern is that I use cruise control all the time. We have some hilly areas, speed limit 40, and the CC does a good job of keeping my speed in check going down hill, but when transitioning back to up hill the CC throttle application seems a little...

Looks like a supercharger is in your future! Otherwise, I don't think the 3.6 in the Gladiator is ever going to feel zippy. My biased opinion is to just run it the way it is. I came from a 2108 Golf R, then a 2019 Audi Allroad, both fairly zippy cars. I think the 3.6 is adequate as-is. When...

If you search around a little, you will find the listed capacities for the M210 and M220 differentials on the Mojave. IIRC, it's 1.53Q rear and 1.09Q front. Per the manual, you are supposed to fill to approximately 1/8" below the bottom edge of the fill hole with the vehicle on a level...
