When i picked up my Glady on Tuesday the dealer said they are still getting a lot of deliveries, it's just not fast enough to build new inventory. I believe in July he said they turned 300-400 vehicles. Also mentioned they are encouraging people to order as they are getting customer orders far...
Keyless entry got better when i found the setting to unlock all doors on first press or for proximity unlock all doors instead of just passenger.
I almost always have my wife riding next to me and it always got old when she'd pull the handle when i was trying to hit the unlock a 2nd time and...
I have 32 miles on my ODO so I'm no help.
On previous vehicles, My canyon didn't' hit peak MPG until 10,000 miles. My WRX was a bit earlier and I was getting well over sticker at 5,000 miles.
I think where you drive matters a lot as well. City mileage probably doesn't account for hitting a red...
I get a lot of "ok crazy rich bastard" looks when i tell people that having 3 cars is the best thing ever. You never have to worry about break downs or don't have to be in a pinch buying a new vehicle. I sold my Canyon for top dollar and just drive my 3rd untill my jeep comes. Yes now i have...
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that tries to get bad MPG every now and then. I tried to keep the WRX as low as possible one day and was only able to manage 17.
After I do the Premium fuel conversaion the Gladiator will be a bit cheaper to drive per mile at least for gas.
It's exciting. I pick my new truck up tomorrow. The first bit of the wait is easy tomorrow is going to be hell.
I just hope those people don't have mountains of debt. That doesn't sound like fun at all, my mortgage balance is a number that freaks me out the most and it's not even that much...
Got my call from the dealer. My gladiator was delivered today. I'll be signing paperwork and taking delivery tomorrow at 4:30pm. Gotta hurry up and get my top hoist and storage complete. It's getting here just in time for some awesome fall weather.
Build dates in the sig.
I checked with Jeep char since hearing from my dealer just to see how accurate the information was. Jeep Chat told me the build process was complete and the vehicle had left for delivery. They gave me an estimate of the 14th-24th so i figured the shipper was working more with the dealer than...
If it helps I built out what I wanted with nearly every model and the price difference wasn't that large between them. Basically the price difference for the better axels. My overland order came to $50,500. A mojave was $55,000. Rubicon was $54,000. The Willy's defiantly are cheaper at the cost...
This is all variable but i swore i read an article that found getting up to speed faster, aka floor it, was better for mileage over all. Powerband dynamics and what not.
In previous vehicles I've done both for long periods of time and didn't notice much difference so i just floor it everywhere...
Does any one have the distance from inside the hard top roof to the middle of the rear window?
I"m trying to make a top lift and was going to go inside the window and put a brace on the top.
Man that's nothing I had a ford ranger that was easily a half turn of play.
I tihnk it's funny people find this unsafe. When i only drove that ranger I'd jump in a sportier car and always thought how darty they were was unsafe feeling.
If it's priority or tooling. They may need different machines set up to load different parts into the gladiator. Beings that the Rubicons are more popular maybe the assembly line is set up to make those more often hence faster turn around. Mojave get built quick as well but they share a lot of...
Is there something an owner of a vehicle they drive little can do to make sure their engine and internal parts stay in good condition? I only get about 3k miles on my subaru a year and it's almost always in 500 mile increments.
Umm wow information overload.... Awesome post I appreciate it.
I did my first oil change on my Subaru at 500 miles and again at 2,000 miles. Despite a lot of oil burn conversations surrounding the boxer engine the level on my engine doesn't burn much if any between changes. I also get better...
