  1. Lease Return Experience

    I posted here a few months ago in anticipation of returning my 2020 Gladiator LE lease. The truck had 25k miles on it, it was nearly flawless with a couple of exceptions: 1) Windshield had a 6" crack in the bottom passenger side corner and a small .5" one in the center 2) Several 4" scratches...
  2. Need some lease return advice

    I have a Launch Edition 2020 Gladiator with 22000 miles on it. The buyout is $44K. My lease is up in July. I'm in CA so a buyout would have a 8% tax ... Two small problems: 1) Small crack on the corner of the original windshield. 2) Couple of superficial scratches on the driver door from when...
  3. Installed the BESKE dead pedal

    What a total pain in the ass this install was. The product is pretty good. I ended up doing a quick review of it if anyone is interested. My biggest gripe is that in order to adjust it you have to completely uninstall it and reinstall it again. The position of the bolts really was not well...
  4. I finally figured out how to remove the rear headrest

    I cannot figure out why on a vehicle that has the capability to remove the doors, roof, and windshield in minutes, something as simple as removing a headrest has to be so complicated. If you've ever tried to put in a front facing child seat in, you'll know how annoying it is. Anyway, the wife...
  5. 35" Spare Adventure

    After a lot of false starts I got my 35" tire to fit perfectly under the truck. I'm sure I would have saved a few hours of bs fu##ery if I had just searched the forum. But in case you're planning on mounting a larger spare with an aftermarket wheel under the truck, be sure to measure the size of...
  6. Valve stem fell into the tire

    Tire was low on air and I tried to fill it at gas station. When I tried to push the nozzle onto the valve stem, the whole thing fell into the tire. Instantly flattening the tire. These are 35" tires on aftermarket wheels that the dealer had put on the car. My question is, is this some sort of...
  7. Spidershade questions

    Looked on their site and they have very few photos so I'd thought I'd asK: - is it required to remove the front windshield to do the install? What if I just wanted to remove the shades for a day? Do I have to remove the windshield to do that? or is it just for the initial install process? -...
  8. My obligatory 6 month review

    It's actually been 7 months now and every day that goes by I actually grow founder of my JT. This truck has exceeded all of my expectations so far and with a few very small exceptions it has been flawless. So I did a quick video this weekend talking about some of most favorite things about this...
  9. What's the deal with Jeep Wave and the Gladiator?

    Just got an email from Jeep that I should bring in my truck for the 5k mile services. I seem to recall reading the oil changes were going to be free through the Jeep Wave program. Is that the case with the Gladiator too? Anything else I should have them do while I have it in other than tire...
  10. Active Safety Malfunctions

    I have an LE which comes with all the safety stuff and I have noticed the following malfunctions: 1) While turning left at a light in some (not all) intersections, the collision warning alarm sounds as if it thinks a crash is about to happen. 2) The other day, on the freeway, during a moderate...
  11. Windshield Protection Film

    I've heard a couple of brands people use on YouTube. I'm looking for something I can order online and install myself. My guess is since the windshield is flat it'll be an easy job. Does anyone have a source for this sort of thing? Would hate to get a chip in this beautiful piece of glass.
  12. Sirius XM Satellite Radio Subscription

    I remember reading somewhere that the Gladiator comes with a 5 year pre-paid Sirius XM subscription. Is this correct? If so, how do I go about setting that up? I'm using it right now, but I also got a letter from Sirius XM that says my trial ends soon ...
  13. 35” spare on LE?

    My dealer had fitted my LE with 35s as a pre-sale upgrade. They left the 33” spare claiming they didn’t think the 35” would fit. Is this true? I was sure I had read here that 35” spare fits fine on the Rubi.
  14. My long ass wait paid off. But not in the way you’d think

    I really wanted to type up a write up for you guys but I decided instead to do a quick video explaining why instead of the Red Rubicon I ordered, I ended up with an upgraded Silver LE. Not happy about the order process. But it all worked out for the best.
  15. How to post your images here

    I've gotten a couple of messages asking me how I have been posting images here. I also see several failed attempts to add an image each week. So I made a quick video tutorial on how I do it.
  16. The official JS status post

    After weeks of being in JT status I'm now in JS. Yay me. Status code status: This is the stage prior to being released by the plant. Vehicle may have been selected for additional quality inspections or held for delivery purposes. Anyone have any insight into this status? Far as I know I'm the...
  17. While waiting, check out and drool over this FJ45

    I found it on eBay, it's not mine, I wish, but she's so fucking beautiful, makes me wanna cancel my JT and just pick her up today. I've always been a huge fan of the 80s era FJ45s. I've never seen one this cherry in person. One day I'll have one in my collection.
  18. My conspiracy theory on delays

    I know this is a far fetched. But I wonder if FCA is intentionally slowing things down just to see what happens on Monday with the Mexico tariffs and if they actually go into effect. This is the longest people have been stuff in D, D1, and BG which really makes very little sense cause those...
  19. Stuck in JB Hell?

    I've been stuck in JB hell for a week now. Anyone else? Starting to really regret getting the spray liner.
  20. Two really great new reviews: Manual Gladiator review and 4K in-depth view

    Like many of you, I've been watching a few hundred hours of YouTube videos and they're basically all repeats of one another. But this past couple of days I watched two new ones that are pretty good and add some new unique angles. First one, just released today, is the first review I've seen of...
