Remember, the ones that crashed and died can't answer.

No, with my JL XR. I forget which forum I’m on sometimes, lol. It has a similar effect to having an RTT or some other wind catching add-on, but ONLY in severe crosswinds where the XL flaps cause too much turbulence. Doesn’t take much at 80mph in high winds to affect steering control on these...

I have the Rokblokz XL, and I had to remove them due to decreased stability at interstate speeds in heavy, gusty crosswinds (Rubicon XR w/35x12.5 Baja Boss MTs). I'm going to keep them stored in a bag in the back of the Jeep and put them on only in conditions where needed like gravel roads, mud...

Based on owning many JL & JTs: Best of the best in stock form below in order of recommendation. Ranking based not just on ride but overall ride experience (steering, road noise, etc.): 1.) 2022 XR Willys 2.0T Zero options (manual crank windows, etc.) Standard soft top Summary: Light, nimble...

Remember to tell them only to operate the step while wearing covered-toe shoes and push down on it with their foot. No flip-flops or sandals. No pushing it with their hand. Even without springs, they can pinch.

Did you get a diminished value payout? They won’t offer this, you have to ask and be firm about it. Should be >$5K for something like this. Your vehicle is worth less now, and the other person’s insurance owes you the difference. What I have done in the past is paid out of pocket for a third...

This chart is misleading as 4:88/auto/315s on my 2024 JL runs at 2350 RPM at 75 mph. The chart specific to the JT/JL's auto trans that someone posted is much more helpful. Most people have no idea how to translate 1:1 at 65 mph to their current vehicle.

If you're driving fairly slow over uneven terrain, you'll want to install some front sway bar quick disconnects like the Apex autoLYNX. Without the sway bar links being disconnected, you'll get rocked side to side a lot and won't be as stable. Makes a huge difference.

Like many, I disliked the 3.6 — until I got a JL that was geared well: auto + factory 4:88s on 35s. It’s got a lot of low end grunt now and without any of the turbo lag. Damn turbos can get you in trouble when trying to pull out into heavy traffic. However short the turbo lag is, it seems 10x...

For $70K, it should be an X model with the full XR package from the JLs: 35s + 4:56 or 4:88.

Probably so, although I have had similar price differences between JL and JT pre-2024.

It does make a big difference when you don’t list it as a vehicle you commute to work in. My wife and I both work from home, so we get to list both that way.

Thanks for the data. I have a theory that the Gladiator may be more likely to be stolen in some areas (ABQ is the closest metro area to me, and it's #1 in auto theft in the U.S.).

Hard to tell unless the same person is listed as the main driver for both vehicles. Otherwise rate differences could be driver-specific.

Thanks for the feedback, which makes me think the issue could be regional or local.

Lol, yeah I know that insurance in general is a dead horse being beaten here, but I just wanted to know if Gladiator insurance had been consistently higher versus Wrangler for anyone else. Do you also have or have had a Wrangler to compare your Gladiator rates against?

Or is it just me? Now that the Gladiator has been out for a while, I thought insurance premiums would have come down to Wrangler levels, but I haven't seen it. Both Progressive and Farmers have charged me much higher rates for the Gladiator over the Wrangler. Most recent experience: I just...

I feel like you’re just trying to get free therapy here. I’m sorry for your situation, but if you just want to hear yourself talk, take it somewhere else. No one wants to read these TLDR rants.

Dude, do whatever the fuck you want to. Good luck to you.

Always get your trade value by simply visiting the dealer. Add $1K to whatever they quote you, which can usually be negotiated if you're willing to buy that day. As far as retail value, just find them for sale online, take an average, and subtract some for final sale value. All websites that...
