    Stumped & frustrated and I'd welcome any help Doing a total refresh on my back brakes (new pads, rotors & parking/ e-brake shoes) Have past experience working on both disc and drum brakes, though it's been a couple of decades. Stumped at getting rotors "all the way off" I have the calipers...
  2. Front Caliper for 2020 JT Sport S - I was "sold" a JL Rubi caliper, bleeder in wrong location?

    Hello all- I have a 2020 JT Sport S MT, owned new since 9/2019. Due to the general cluster_ _ _ _ of the last few years, and some specific clusters in my own circumstances, I have not been driving much. Only about 22.000 miles. I live in Vermont, land of heavily salted winter roads and lots...
  3. I fouled up - how bad?? Grounds, starting engine with only AUX batt

    Seeking input on this especially but not only from ShadowsPapa - but welcome other input also! I fouled up - the question is how bad and whether or how much damage I may have caused For background, this mistake is very unlike "usual me". I had COVID, back in the fall, got over the actual COVID...
  4. Help! Fishing out TPMS, down in tire, still on rim?

    Hoping that someone here has some kind of trick that I am not thinking of, that you can share, for fishing out a TPMS that is loose, down in a tire, that is still on a rim, without having to take the tire all the way off the rim? Long story sort of short ... I have a 2020 Gladiator Sport S...
  5. Comparison: Falken AT vs dedicated snow tires

    I am sharing this in case it is helpful. I am not looking to inflame anyone who thinks or prefers differently - to each their own. One possible set of observations about whether to get dedicated snow tires or not. My JT is a Sport S. Early on I bought a set of takeoff OEM steel wheels and...
  6. available "room for wire"? in pass. side firewall boot and doorsill areas

    Hoping that I can draw on experience from those of you that have already opened things up snaked wire through the "extra" spot that Jeep left in the "boot" where the wire harness comes through the passenger side firewall, from underneath the battery to underneath the glove compartment. How...
  7. Convince a skeptic on Extended Warranty [but I am becoming less skeptical]

    Looking for input please, if there are prior threads please by all means point me to them, I haven't found a search term that seems to zero in. Historically, I never buy extended warranties. On just about anything. I've always looked at it that the manufacturer wouldn't be offering them unless...
  8. Dash pods - Metra vs MB Quart- any real world diff in quality?

    Has anyone been able to do a side-by-side in-person comparison of the MB Quart dash pods for 6.5 knee speakers and the Metra dash pods for 6.5 knee speakers? Any differences that make a possible difference in quality or function? I'm just asking about the empty pods to use with customer...
  9. P050B error code?

    I have a 2020 Sport S 3.6 6spd MT, powertrain is 100% stock, about 13,000 miles on it (didn't drive much in the last 1.5 years). The other day the engine error light went on. Stayed on for about a day, across several relatively short drives. Then went out. No error light for the last several...
  10. Ds18 front & back door speaker panels

    These are not really my kind of setup, but I'm glad to see wider varieties of aftermarket speaker mounting options show up, and figured that someone may find them of interest: https://ds18.com/collections/jeep/products/jl-gladiator-front-door-panelpair-1...
  11. help needed: electrical interruption of radio & clunk sound, clock resetting to 12:00

    A strange thing has happened twice in the last several days. First time was this past Monday, second time was this morning. I've started the truck and been going at low speed in first gear (my truck is a 6MT) in a driveway, when all of a sudden I hear a kind of "cloonk" sound and, at the same...
  12. Antoxidant grease (or other 'stuff') for hub-wheel mating surfaces?

    My JT is the most fully and completely "hub-centric" wheel-type vehicle I've had, in terms of tight clearances between wheel and hub at hub center. I discovered that the hard way this spring. I'd bought the truck in August '19, and then installed dedicated snowtires on dedicated OEM (clean...
  13. Mojave rims and 285/70s on bone stock Sport S?

    I've got a 2020 Sport S 6MT and am really happy with the truck but the silver 5 spoke stock Sport S silver alloy wheels have ended up looking sort of goofy when I have black roof, black bumpers, black fenders, black running boards, and a black DiamondBack bed lid. Truck is red and I like the...
  14. Parking brake repeated fail - what to do next...

    Before I gripe about the parking brake and its repeated fail, I want to say that I remain, overall, delighted by this truck, and this issue I am having with the P-brake doesn't take away from that. But... [I did a search to see if anyone else is running into this, and, at least in a quick...
  15. Ready-made L-track bed system from Mac's custom tie downs

    I have no commercial connection with this company, I did previously buy some bare undrilled L-track product from them - and at the time I noticed that they had ready-made L-track systems for other make/model pickups and I suggested (back in January) that they bring out one for the Gladiator -...
  16. Anecdotal observation of faster JT sales?

    This is nothing but anecdotal and I don't know if it is representative of an overall trend, but: up until recently my local CJDR dealer would have JTs, place them in a prominently visible location (in a row of three or four), and the same ones would be there for a considerable length of time...
  17. Heated seat- adding switch to allow back-only heating (without seat cushion)?

    This is one of those "maybe you happen to know from something you have worked on" questions... I have an old back injury that flares up badly from time to time. The warmth of the heated seatback can be very welcome when it does. There are times that the weather happens to be warm enough...
  18. AFE RockBasher length question

    Hoping someone who has an already-installed AFE Rock Basher exhaust can help answer this. Reason for my question is that inspection requirements in my state = hard fail unless the exhaust exits further back than any portion of the passenger compartment. I can tell from the product description...
  19. P-brake dysfunction (keeps going loose)

    I bought my JT Sport S new late August 19. By approximately November my P-brake got more and more slack - I'd call it gradual (not all at once) but rapid - until one day I pulled it and the handle suddenly just came completely up with no limit and no resistance at all. Took it into the dealer...
  20. Brfertig, can you enlighten us on 32 spline helical diff options? (or other adaptations?)

    Brfertig - enjoying and appreciate your various explorations and explanations of the "mix n match" options to build up non-stock axle combinations. Since you are already doing an intense deep dive into the configurations and dimensions of the OE configuration and what parts can be combined in...
