After about 5 years I'm no longer a Gladiator owner. I've always been a Jeep guy, and more than that I'm a 2-door guy at heart. The Gladiator let me stay in a Jeep while also having a truck bed, but any time I'd see an old CJ driving around it caused an ache in my heart. I recently had an...

I'm just memorializing this for anyone who may run into the same issue. 2023 Rubicon, 21,xxx miles. I ran over to the local grocery store 2 weeks ago. I looked down, and my "Rear locker disconnect" light was on in the dash, and the light was flashing at the switch in the console. I hadn't...

2 and a half years ago, I bought a set of front and rear fenders via one of the big three internet sellers. They are made by Fishbone off-road. The fenders I'm pretty sure are still available. I haven't beaten them up, and I've taken pretty darn care of my truck. For some reason, the rear...

Does anyone regularly use the Bestop fabric doors? I’m interested in getting them, and my use case is going to be spring/summer early morning highway cruising at about 80mph from Nashville to New Orleans 1-2x per month. Would these be ok for that use case?

I’m out here at the National Postal Forum. Kyle from Morgan Olson asked me to show you guys the new Kestrel on the JT platform. From the B pillar it’s your Gladiator- the Kestrel can be applied to any trim level. From the B-Pillar back, it’s their set up. The dealership would drop ship your...

I was having issues installing Fishbone Offroad Rear inner fender liners. The lines below and a bracket got in the way of installing the drivers side inner fender. The video that Fishbone provides glosses over some modifications you need to do. I called them this morning, was told to do a...

I’d Like to get a 2-pack of hood latch locks, and install one on my wife’s JL and one on my Gladiator. The set I purchased required drilling a hole, though, and I just don’t want to do that if it is something that can be avoided. Any suggestions for locks That don’t require drilling into the...

I have a 1.5" lift in the front, 2.5" in the rear. I have 35" Kenda Klever tires on stock Rubicon rims. I inflate them to 31 lbs. A week or so ago I noticed that my truck doesn't track straight. The symptoms are as follows: when driving I orient the truck so that I am going straight forward...

This is probably a pretty specific audience that will appreciate this build, but it’s super simple and cost me $34. It’s a way to stack 2 hard tops… in my case a 2-door JL on the bottom and a JT on top. (2) 2x4x8’ (2) 2x8x8’ (8) right angle brackets. (32) 1 1/4” screws (8) 2 1/2” screws (1)...

Today I watched my last TFL video and unsubscribed from their YouTube channel. Their latest video, "Jeep Fights back HARD against the Bronco with this New Wrangler", is literally just a clickbait video to try to get views, and honestly it sounds like they are reading word for word off of a...

The OEM lug nuts on my ‘23 JTR are showing signs of rust. They are doing the same thing my JK lugnuts did before they started to expand and for lack of a better term “inflate” or swell- they are the coated OEM version. I’m looking for the best inexpensive lug nuts I can get that are a solid...

At 12:15 of this Donut Media video the host gets into a Hellcat swapped Gladiator that has Helltraxx prototype tracks in place of wheels that they drive around on a mountain. It’s cool. This specific truck has lead to very strange thoughts going through my head. As a southerner who prefers...

Hey @Bestop , I installed my wife’s trektop NX on her ‘24 JL 2-door last weekend here in TN. I love it. it gives the JL an awesome look, and while her hardtop is good for the winter, the soft top s preferred. Is there any chance you are going to make a soft top for the Gladiator that has the...

Somebody please help me understand- Why is the cyber truck claiming 10,000+ ft/lbs of torque yet Jeep isn't claiming 1,140 ft/lbs of torque in the Rubicon? the rubicon has a 4:1 reduction gear, the cyber truck has 13:1 reduction gears on its motors. I don't see a difference in completely...

I took this picture today. The part in question is in the center of the photo, with the bolt head on it, a boot on the right, and what appears to be wetness from oil on the piece directly to the left of that bolt head. This piece is where the steering column meets another part, and there seems...

I need one of you to come over to my place and punch me in the face about 3 times. This time it was Hawkley "Wolfstorm" inner fender liners. I spent the big bucks on the Fishbone tube fenders, and cheaped out on the liners. Just so you all save yourselves the trouble, they are hot garbage...

All of you Base Sport owners. I’m curious what you all do when you get them, and even more curious as to whether or not anyone has bought the Base with no intention of upgrading / modifying at all. Thanks!

I want to install either tube style or narrow slender flares. I'm tired of worrying about destroying my stock fenders on tight trails, and would rather just get something that was created with wheeling in mind. I don't mind spending on the fender flares, but the fender liners are downright...

I was on (forgive me) the Jeep Gladiator Subreddit the other day. A potential new buyer asked about a Rubicon Vs. a Sport, and somebody piped up and said "a Sport with a rear auto locker is more capable than any Rubicon". Having been burned in the past by a RZR purchase due to bad advice, and...
