Good stuff. My 3yo 130 pounder launches and manages the trip but a few years from now, he'll need a JATO pack or steps to stick the landing. My 10yo little Rat Terrier Jessie has it figured out: jump on the running board then onto the floor then up on the seat. My biggest challenge now is all...
All this time I was wondering where I fit in as a first time Jeep owner and can finally now identify as a proud Philistine. I learned early on that the Overland was already considered by many as "second class" and one step below a dolled up, mall crawler.
I looked at all the upgrades you can...
I guess this will sound juvenile or worse yet, senile but I think I have evolved from "hey look at me!" to "leave me the F alone, I'll do what a damn well please". I like my Overland just fine the way it is. A whole industry survives on people like us wanting to personalize our rides. And...
I can relate to this sentiment. I worked corporate for 35 years and drove almost every new BMW - from an E30 M3, M5s, Z8, M6s and one of my favorites, the X5M. All of them were great cars and given the fact I only drove them for ~5k miles (free: job assigned - didn't have to pay for gas...
Maybe I'm just lucky. I hate seeing these posts with major engine problems. Just turned 7,400 miles and haven't had a P0300 in well over 1,000 miles. It's running great - 21mpg+ on the highway at 70mph+ (even with a roof basket) and ~17mpg around town. Power has noticeably improved after...
Got my relocation bracket and it seems simple enough to install but there were no instructions. I looked on-line and found a couple of videos but nothing I would call "instructions".
Anyone know of a video or instructions on installation?
I just called Maximus-3 because I had a problem placing the order on-line. They are fantastic. I had a great conversation with a "millennial" that was normal and a great guy. It was a nice change. No offense to the other Millennials out there....
Is it me or has the addition of roof racks and a roof basket caused my satellite radio reception problems? The antenna is in the fixed roof portion from what I've read so all that metal above it must do something. If this is the case, is there an "external" antenna that can be mounted in...
As a first time Jeep owner, I'm still learning about my Gladiator's capabilities so forgive me if this is something trivial that I should already know.
I live in a large subdivision with a long main access road where the speed limit is 25mph. It's common to have folks driving 50mph+. After...
Having other accesories to use on the racks and needing to remove the basket and reinstall I wanted to mark the position on the Wing Bars so I wasn't out there fooling around with a tape measure.
I tried tape and magic markers but found that the most effective - and not permanent - was using...
I agree with Glacier. I recorded over 20 CEL/ESS warnings/missfire faults in 4,000 miles. Right or wrong, I cleared the codes and never took it back to the dealer until recently for the software update and an oil change.
My Glad sat on the dealer's lot for almost 9 months before I took...
I have the Mopar hard, folding tonneau cover and had a hard time finding a cooler to fit below the cover. I ended up with a Dometic CC32.
The only caveat is that the cooler needs to sit sideways to fit between the tonneau panel braces. It fits perfectly sideways next to the tailgate and easy...
After many "wasted" hours (according to my bride) researching the many combinations, I finally decided on a roof rack/basket combo. What I found very confusing was whether or not use the rain gutters on the Freedom Panels. Mopar distinctly says "NO", while many do indeed use them.
The other...
While the dealer this week, I asked the service advisor about this. He said that data from the vehicle gets "pushed" up through the satellite connection and then onto the cell network for download to the the phone app.
Not sure if this correct but it could explain the erratic timeframe of...
As I write this my Gladiator has 4,100 miles and has not set an ESS or CEL in almost 1,000 miles (previously 20+ faults) mostly after a start/restart.
I only use top tier, premium fuel and the weather is colder now - no A/C. Maybe that's part of it?
I took it to the dealer for an oil...
