  1. Battery Charging

    I had AAA come out this morning to install as I planned to replace the main battery now that I replaced the Aux battery. He ran a test on the battery before it had been started, then started the engine. It dipped down to 12.4 when ignition started then was a consistent 14.5 as it idled for 4+...
  2. Battery Charging

    I’ve been getting the message “Aux Switches Temporarily Unavailable Battery Charging” message for a few weeks. I bought an Aux battery yesterday and installed it, still getting the message. Had the main battery checked, showing 749 (out of 750) cold cranking amps. Is the main battery going bad...
  3. Bestop Winter Warehouse Sale - February 8th

    I'm curious what percent the discount is ... I'm looking to come up for the EZ Roll Soft Tonneau.
  4. Soft Top Window Storage Bag

    Anyone able to find one of these window bags recently (not a part of your JT order) in the $75 range? Best I have found is $120.99 plus $11.53 shipping. I kept mine in a fleece blanket behind the rear seat last season, but have more gear stored there now. My backup plan is a fleece blanket in...
  5. 2,500 mile manual transmission report

    My MT has 4400 miles on it. Generally love it, but about 2400 miles the clutch started vibrating. Dealer said it’s normal and drives like every other JT. Not satisfied ... going to get it in to my usual mechanic and see what he finds while it is under warranty.
  6. Rear window storage solution!

    Mine fit under the rear seats, and I have cables, tie downs, etc in there as well.
  7. Rear window storage solution!

    I store mine behind the seat, upside down, and gently fold the tabs down and it fits fine. I have a fleece blanket I put over the window so it does not rub.
  8. So, what's your "Topless" record so far??

    2 weeks for me, thankfully, Colorado is dry. I could have went much longer, but we go camping every other weekend in the mountains and I wasn't going to risk it (especially with kids) while in the mountains. My longest with my old TJ was 90 days in a very dry summer/fall, and thankfully a...
  9. Why should I get an automatic over manual Gladiator?

    I've had a manual Sport S since July and honestly regret it a little. I drove a manual 2000 TJ as a daily driver for 14 years and loved it, even if it was a 4-cyclinder and sluggish. My biggest complaints on the JT are for towing our camper and driving in the mountains. With the manual, I'm...
  10. Manual Transmission Club

    Stock Sport S. I’m getting 20.0 mpg on the dot at 3500 miles. I drive about 80-85mph on the interstate to/from work. Half my trip is side streets at 25-45mph. Also three trips up into the Rockies pulling a small pop-up camper and tons of stop/go traffic ... manual was a real pain with the...
  11. How are you using your Trail Rail System?

    Is that a 2 gallon roto? Also, what length Hi-Lift? Trying to figure out if the 48” fits along front of bed or if I need to mount on side rack. I have trail rails and BuiltRight system but neither installed yet.
  12. Off Road Pages, Sport S

    I assumed it had to do with transmission because the owner’s manual memtions “when the Off Road+ button is pushed, the Instrument Cluster Display will begin to show messages related to the feature.” I could be wrong (again) but I thought Off Road + button was only available with automatic...
  13. Off Road Pages, Sport S

    The post was discussing Sport S, I do not believe manual Sport S have the option.
  14. Off Road Pages, Sport S

    Not available with the manual transmission. Really wish I had this feature.
  15. Door Locks - power and function

    Try to open the door handle and see if your alarm screams. I recommend having the key fob ready.
  16. No Gladiator Jeep Wave Love

    Same ... I pass dozens on my way home from work. I had a TJ for 14 years and waved at everyone, and nearly everyone waved back. I’m at the point with the Gladiator I’ve quit initiating the wave. I still wave like Forrest above at Gladiators (see at least one a day), but have yet to have one...
  17. Is The Gladiator THAT Ugly?

    I have a stock Sport S with soft top and am the first to admit the soft top looks terrible open and I’m not a fan of the “hump” when it is closed. I usually have the top completely off which looks much better. I bought a Gladiator because I like having the top down/off ... I chose function...
  18. Manual Transmission Club

    Dealer claimed they didn’t hear any unusual noises or feel unusual vibrations. Said it drove like every other manual Gladiator they have. They said what I might be hearing/feeling is the vacuum pump but that it’s fine. I’m not convinced, as it definitely drives different the last 200 miles...
  19. 7% under invoice the best deal out there?

    I would confirm it does not include financing or outrageous dealer handling fees. I ordered a Sport S at 6.2% below invoice, no financing, no trade in, and approx. $500 for all fees back in May. I think buyers are going to start seeing better deals, even buying stock off the lot. I dropped...
  20. Manual Transmission Club

    I hauled a pop-up through the Rockies Labor Day weekend in stop and go traffic and also went off-roading. Those are two main reasons I ordered a Gladiator ... I expect it to handle those activities. I’m not happy mine is already going to the dealer for service; will be curious to see what your...
