I drove 3 hours today to finalize buying a F-350 Super Duty DRW. We caught the camping bug but the Gladiator doesn't have the capacity we need to pull a 5th wheel. Monday the Gladiator and our hybrid camper are going up for sale. It's been a fun truck and this has been an awesome site to learn...

Just returned from a 30 mile trip towing a 3500lb trailer. 2020 Sport S with a MT. 104,000 miles, changed diff fluid around the 95k mark. This evening, I noticed a bit of a drag, and the Jeep didn't roll freely. I initially thought that the manual brake was dragging. As I was pulling the wheels...

One of the 4 Bilstein 5100 shocks arrived this evening. The others are suppose to be here tomorrow. While I'm under the Gladiator I'm adding airbags inside the coils. BUT, which way are the shocks supposed to be oriented? Dust cover end up or down?

2020 Sport S. From my understanding, the power wires for the aux buttons is somewhere under the dash. Right? so if I buy a set of buttons I can use those wires to power lights or other equipment. So where do the wires terminate from the switch? Seriously, Im not understanding how these switches...

I'm waiting for a mini to ship. The primary use will be when we are camping. ( Yeah yeah. I know, camping should be disconnected from electronics blah blah) but we will use the camper as intended through out the day, then run our businesses at night or if the weather is bad. Q1) How well does...

I'm needing to mount my phone on the driver side grab handle, A) who makes a mount. And I need the phone holder to be a magsafe charging phone holder. But B) how are those powered? I don't want to run a cable to the USB port on the dash. Is there a better option to have hidden wires to power the...

My camper is wider than my mirrors. Got the Redarc brake controller installed, wdh set up properly, Tpms system will be here tomorrow as well as a wireless cam to place in the back of the camper, but I want some clip on tow mirrors. Who has words of wisdom and suggestions for good tow mirrors?

There is a Decked bed organizer being sold locally. It is currently in a 3rd gen Tacoma and he thinks it was in a Ranger prior to him buying it. Any idea if it would fit the Gladiator? Are the tops easily available to buy and swap out so it fits the gladiator? It's a great deal and I don't want...

2020 Sport S, 6MT. I did have the "tick" and replaced cams and lash adjustors at 61k miles, one set of dead batteries, and recently replaced the spark plugs and PCV valve. Oil changes every 5k miles. I would love to "upgrade" but the current state of the used market doesn't make sense for me to...

At 60k miles my Gladiator developed the "tick". Replaced cams and lifters and it's been great for the next 40k miles. Recently when excelerating hard, I'll develop a misfire and will have to completely shut off the engine for it to go away. From what I understand, this may be due to the lifters...

Almost 100k miles on the 3.6l. Oil changes at 5k, air filters when needed, otherwise I haven't performed any other preventative maintenance on the engine. Any tips, tricks or suggestions? Ill go ahead and pick up a PVC valve. I miss my old k5 blazer, I could stand in the engine bay and swap the...

I found a 8.4 radio but it comes with a dual climate panel. What are the odds that the guts for the dual climate are there and just not functioning due to the lower end controls?

HF has its 12 days of Christmas going on. The 19th has 40% off any APEX winch. I'll grab one, but then I'll have to find a bumper.

Do I leave the Bluetooth connector connected, or remove it after changes? I don't care about the live features.

Looking to add a little flair and some functionality with extra lights. Since the OEM halogen lights suck, I want to add some additional lighting. Anyway, how are your pod lights? I (think) i want them on the cowl but I'm afraid that there will be too much spill onto the hood, do you notice the...

I love driving around naked, and sometimes I even take my doors off!:CWL:. Anyway, the white tabs that hold the wiring harness have yet to free up, even after 4 summers of removing the doors. I had some cheap plastic mountain bike tire"irons" and I keep one in the door removal kit. Then there is...

90k miles on the 2020 Sport S with a manual transmission. I want to replace the gear oil front and rear. 75-140 for the rear (right?) But do I need friction modifiers too?

I have a 2020 3.6l. 2 of my friends with the 3.6 have had cracks in the filter housing and had to replace them. Have the gladiators been seeing this issue? I usually DIY my oil changes and now I'm thinking I should buy a filter housing to keep on the shelf just in case.

I have the factory silver 5 spoke wheels. I want to change up the look some but I don't want to buy new wheels. So, painting them it is. I do not want plasti-dip! What systems have you tried and how well have they held up?
