Unfortunately that would disable the electric locks as well

I do a lot of extended camping, sometimes 10 days at a time without moving the jeep. After 5 to 7 days, the constant opening and closing of the doors to access gear in the vehicle drains the battery down. I usually don’t have external power so a trickle charger isn’t possible. Is there any way...

Nothing worse than coming back to black leather seats that have been in the sun all day. I wish jeep offered more light colored interiors, or at least went back to the beautiful tobacco brown leather color they used on the JKs (the brown on the JL is more of a light tan IMO). If it were up to me...

Thanks! The ram forum guys say “starts just like normal” after replacing the filter, so I wanted to make sure there are no surprises when I go to do mine today

For those of you who have changed your fuel filter yourself, have you noticed a longer than usual start on the first start? Every video I've watched has shown a long crank- perhaps 2-3 seconds- after thoroughly priming the new fuel filter. Is this normal?

That’s when gen 2 ended and gen 3 began and that’s what this is referring to. The parts pertaining to the HPFP failures have remained the same (or at least have the same part number). They will recall the gen 3 when the production line is building new JL/JT that won’t be subject to the recall so...

Jeep and Ram have recently released stats related to the gen2 ecodiesel recall for the CP4 HPFP. There are 138,645 vehicles in the recall and reports of 1279 failures. So can one deduce that the known failure rate is just shy of 1%? .9225 to be precise.

Thanks! I’m running airlift bags in the rear springs to offset the ~500lbs of add ons and gear. I like the bags because they allow me to adjust depending on load and help ensure that I can keep a subtle rake. Dramatically improved the handling as well (much less sway and body roll). The bags...

Since 2007 when Jeep decided that the wrangler should no longer be a niche vehicle and should appeal to the masses

To me, the basic fender flares look better with the rubicon wheels and suspension than what comes standard on the rubicon. Maybe Jeep should consider offering the high clearance flares as an added option on the rubicon packages, as opposed to automatically including them.

Thanks! I do this on my alucab for short, local trips, but was worried about damaging the rear hatch on multi-hour highway trips (with it left in the up position).

Drove one for a week and hated it. To be clear, I’m talking about the transition from full electric once the battery is depleted beyond the ability to use it in full electric mode, not in hybrid mode. It’s drivability is the main reason I didn’t pursue one. That, and the inability to fold the...

If you took out the rear section of the hardtop and removed the glass, you basically wouldn't have any hard top left! Or maybe that's the idea. Toyota's roll down rear window is the single best option in a modern pickup truck/SUV. I'd settle for jeep putting a flip-up glass window in like the JL has

The transition from electric to gas power (while driving) is very clunky and feels poorly implemented. This happens when the 20-ish mi electric range is depleted in all electric-mode or when you need more power than the electric motor can deliver by itself. Once the battery is down, you now have...

Update: I bought a couple of oil and fuel filters from: https://www.dieselfiltersonline.com/ roughly $45/ea. reasonable shipping up to $250, free ship after that. Quick to answer the phone, knowledgeable about inventory availability and timelines and genuine parts. Next day shipping from NJ to...

Yep, the new hurricane was developed to replace the hemi’s- hopefully it’ll be a good engine. I could see a fully electric gladiator/wrangler doing well (See: magneto concept) as a huge amount of JL/JT owners do not drive their vehicles long distances (100+ mi) regularly. The concept of the 4xe...

Just a few small items I wish jeep would change for the gladiator facelift: Better side mirrors (or offer factory tow mirrors) Power rear sliding window on the hardtop Dead pedal Extra power port in the left cubby blank on the models without lockers or locate factory brake controller here A...

I would happily buy those from you today if you were in the general vicinity of VA. I’ve been looking for a good deal on mojave takeoffs for almost 6 months now

It would be nice if they offered you an oil filter and 8 quarts of rotella OR a dealer performed oil change. They could incentivize people to sign up for that jeep wave program by offering this as a perk (in lieu of free oil changes)

I’ve driven straight from DC to the Florida panhandle- 981 miles in one day, three fuel stops. The gladiator seats are better than the JK platform, but I still wish they would relocate the airbags so we had aftermarket choices (like scheel-Mann). It’s been on a few 3k mile trips in under a week...
