  1. 2024 Gladiator Refresh/Update Model Changes Spotted Under Our Nose?!

    I dunno about the switch but Chevy just teased the Colorado with 35's so there is hope to get a Recon package in the near future at least. Typical Jeep fashion though to wait till everyone else does it first.
  2. Bestop SunRider for Hardtop - How Noisy?

    Yes the twill sunrider is a little louder than my insulated freedom panels. I swap it off and on with the freedom panels during the winter. Its very easy to remove and takes less than 5 mins. I sometimes will put the freedom panels back on for a long trip also for less noise. Ive been through a...
  3. Revealed: 2024 Wrangler Facelift Refresh With Major Updates & Upgrades

    My prediction is that the gladiator will get a refresh next year. Its been a year behind the Wrangler anyway. They will let all the old parts and axles run out and then replace the gladiator axle with the full float to offer them 100 lb more tow capacity than the competition! Unless the...
  4. First real load test Rubicon JT

    Home Depot supports veterans as well…same discount…
  5. HF Badlands 12K Winch 25% off until the 2nd.

    I have this combo and can’t recommend it. Its too tight a fit and will involve a bit of cussing. The bumper is a PITA to line up all the holes to get the front bolt’s through. It does look pretty good but personally I would shop another bumper.
  6. Should I be seeing better Avg MPG

    This is such a hard topic for some people to understand but I think the OP was asking about AVERAGE MPG, not what you get on the occasional drive. Sure mine will sometimes see 22mpg but my overall average over the Jeeps whole life has been about 15mpg. Those saying they get 26mpg on the gasser...
  7. Should I be seeing better Avg MPG

    That on a diesel?
  8. Should I be seeing better Avg MPG

    Your mileage looks pretty accurate for the 3.6. Been tracking mine since new. Laoded rubi with hardtop. 10k of these miles have been on stock 33’s and remainder on the 35’s. The 35’s lowered it about 1mpg on the highway. I live on the flat coast of NC..
  9. U-Haul Denial

    I ran in to this issue the other day trying to rent a flatbed trailer.. Crazy thing is I have a hardtop with the sunrider top. First uhaul place didnt have the trailer in stock so they sent me 30 mins to another location and when I got there the old man said you have a soft top and wouldnt let...
  10. 392 and Xtreme Recon Gladiator not happening; but 4xe likely...

    The point of these hybrids is for people who drive around the city like myself and dont go more than 25 miles round trip. If I had a 4xe during COVID I would've never used any gas the whole year as I didnt travel out of town in my Gladiator. People drive their vehicles the most where they live...
  11. New Apex 12K Harbor Freight winch Install

    I get what youre saying but unless you actually have installed the arcus bumper I dont think you would understand the challenges of trying to use spacers between the shell while lining up everything else. The winch plate for the arcus bumper reuses the two factory horn spots on the inside...
  12. New Apex 12K Harbor Freight winch Install

    Its not possible in my case unfortunately. Your bumper looks like maybe the mopar one so it possibly provides different clearances. Hard to tell in the photo but i had to have myself and a friend push up on the winch plate that came with the arcus bumper very hard while simultaneously trying to...
  13. New Apex 12K Harbor Freight winch Install

    I just installed the Badlands Apex 12k with the RR Arcus bumper and what a terrible combo. It was such a pain and I dont like how the Apex winch power cables push so hard into the grill. If this bumper ever needs to come off Ill never reinstall it. Looks good but with this winch combo its just...
  14. Soft OEM roll up bed cover.

    Yea if the truck is sitting out in the rain water can pool on it but I would say thats normal as long as its not leaking in the bed. Once you get going it should just run right off. The pooling is very minimal.
  15. Soft OEM roll up bed cover.

    Im still waiting to hear. Been a few weeks and many of the tonneaus are on backorder. Passenger side sits tight its the driver side that lifts the same as yours. They said for the warranty they have to replace just the little plastic strip sewn in or something and are trying to locate the part...
  16. Soft OEM roll up bed cover.

    I noticed that they have an updated part number. Wonder what the difference is between the two. The older part number is for those manufactured in 2020 which is when mine was. Currently undergoing a warranty repair on mine. One side of it has deformed and leaves a nice gap you can get your hand...
  17. Jeep Ebike anyone?

    I cant comment on that specific ebike except it looks targeted for more mountain bikers and its expensive. Id recommend getting a Super73 ebike. Lots of attachments and a large community of riders. They have a great range and 1/3 the price of that bike
  18. Official: Hurricane Twin-Turbo 3.0 I-6 Coming for Jeep With Over 500 HP and 475 ft-lbs!

    They want engines they can spread across their product lines. Keeping the 3.6 doesnt fit in with having SO and HO variants of the new 3.0. I feel like I remember reading awhile back auto manufacturers needing to be 3.0L or under to meet regulations and for global markets. Im not 100% certain on...
  19. Official: Hurricane Twin-Turbo 3.0 I-6 Coming for Jeep With Over 500 HP and 475 ft-lbs!

    Feel pretty good we will see one of these in a Wrangler/Gladiator at the Easter Jeep Safari coming up. I mean IT IS the replacement for the 3.6 and V8 engines so its gotta make its way in eventually.
  20. Class action lawsuit against fca

    Ok thats good i guess the lifter noise e Alright thanks I figured its just the ticking of the fuel injectors etc at this point but it does sound like a diesel at times. Runs fine and oil is kept up. It doesn't get driven much (maybe 6000 miles a year.) That video was recorded on a cold startup...
