Three months into ownership of a new one manufactured in December 2023 and I'm seeing white spots under the hood clear coat (hydro blue).

My Sunrider is open 50% of the time. I have a co-worker who is on his second JL, and has never even taken the freedom panels off of either one. I don't get it.

Ha, well at least this post made me feel a little better.

I like it. A guy in my neighborhood has a perfect YJ from the first movie. In between cruising around town on weekends, he actually gets a little side money putting on a costume and bringing the Jeep to local events at the fairgrounds, science museum, zoo, etc.

Just how widespread / common is this issue of door hinges, doors, hoods and tailgates corroding under the paint? (Perhaps this belongs in a different forum but I thought it more of a general experience / opinion topic). After reading other forums and visiting FB pages dedicated to JL's and...

Don't forget to stop by the Roland Martin tiki bar. I might take a run out there myself this weekend.

I'm really wondering how a small displacement with turbo / larger tires will work out. Since everyone is going that way, I'll guess we'll soon see. Won't it always be up on boost? Like all the time?

I've only had mine for three months and I'm already checking it every time I drive it (weekends) thanks to all these posts. Sucks I have to worry about such on a brand new vehicle. I wonder if there are any statistics on Gladiators which are more prone, like color, year, location, etc.

I really never knew this was such an issue until I joined a GLadiator Facebook page the other day....and....damn. That's a whole, whole lot of people complaining about corrosion on the hoods, tailgates, and doors.

I intended to purchase a white one, and I already had the name "Artax" picked out (I thought it would have been a riot, especially considering our Florida mud). But, I ended up with a hydro-blue, so no Artax. My girlfriend calls it "Big-Blue", but I cannot bring myself to do that when I live...

I have not been asking for it. I would also bet that no one here has literally cried tears over anything related to the Hurricane engine.

I'm "lucky" enough to have these people right down the street from me...and you're absolutely right. It seems like all they turn out are super tacky six-wheeled Gladiators with extra-ridiculous angry grills and hideous anodized low profile wheel / tire combos.

I've quite worried I'll end up doing that with the Sunrider open. In my case, with a hardened hurricane door, it''ll be the Jeep that takes the damage.

New to Jeeps (but not off-roading), but so far I predict myself getting the most use / enjoyment out of the Sunrider.

In my perfect world, people would just refuse to buy when such a rediculous omission exists.

I have a Cadillac with a Northstar in it that liked to consume oil. I relied on the sensor, AND the dipstick to be sure.....and it's a good thing I did - because one day the sensor stopped working. No dipstick is a deal killer for me (not that I want a turbo engine anyway).

I like them. Simple looking, not tacky.

Possibly something organic (plant, reptile or insect based) you picked up on the trail? In South Florida we pick up all kinds of stuff in the swamp / flats.

So far, I've only gotten one - but the Gladiator is in the garage except for weekends. I def don't want that dash full of ducks that it seems everyone around here has, but it was nice.

Zombie thread I know, but if you have a line on those red / white / blue center caps, I'd love to know about it.
