  1. What’s up with the rear window on hardtops leaking?

    I was storing some stuff behind the rear seats a few days ago and noticed the velcro'd fabric trim piece that hides the hard top mounting torx bolts was wet. I looked a bit closer and there were water streaks on the inside of the window! I had no idea this was a common problem. I'll make an...
  2. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    Despite popular belief, CAN bus is very robust. Most networks operate with a relatively low speed between 500Kbps and 1Mbps (though more modern CAN-FD supports up to 8Mbps, which may be used in the JT). I highly doubt a few inches of untwisted wires affects signal integrity to the point of...
  3. Gorilla Glass

    Thankfully my dealer filled out all the insurance info when I kinda impulse bought my truck last year — was not even thinking about what insurance coverage options to get at that point... it was too sunny outside He signed me up for no deductible glass coverage and so when my windshield...
  4. What’s Your Highest MPG Score?

    I took a trip to the Adirondacks over the 4th of July weekend. It was the first real road trip I did in the gladiator. I have a stock Overland and the trip was around 5-6 hours. On the way back to WNY, my average MPG had crept up so high I wanted to see how high I could get it. So I started...
  5. Grommet/Gasket for tailgate center hole

    Isn’t the tailgate made of aluminum? If so it won’t be as much of a problem if crud gets in there — it shouldn’t rust out like a steel tailgate would. I’d rather leave it open so moisture and dirt have a hole to exit through. I’m sure 20 years from now that wiring will be quite chaffed though....
  6. Trailer Brake Controller Connector

    That doesn't look to be an exact fit for the OEM connector. Getting the actual mating connector isn't too much more expensive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QRWR1YI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That's what I ordered. I also ordered a Quadratec adapter to splice the...
  7. Trailer Brake Controller Connector

    I'm doing a dash cam install (Blackvue 4k) and want to have it always powered for parking mode without splicing wiring. Some of you may be aware that there's an aftermarket trailer brake controller plug in the harness down by the brake pedal. It's a gray 4-pin connector: It's the same as used on...
  8. What plug would plug in to this?

    Double post but: Also, the connector on the light housing probably conforms to USCAR specs. USCAR is an automotive working group that sets standards for connectors. This is so that manufacturers like FCA, Ford, etc, can collaborate with connector manufacturers and everyone can mutually benefit...
  9. What plug would plug in to this?

    That connector is from Molex, MXP120 Sealed Connector Series. You may be able to get replacement parts for the clips and such online from mouser etc. The 3D model on Molex's site is a dead-ringer for the one in the catalog page you posted...
  10. What plug would plug in to this?

    Since the mating connector is molded into the part itself I would expect it to be a more popular type of sealed automotive connector from a big brand. Looks kind of like the Delphi/Aptiv Metripack 150 or 150.2 series. Could try Molex MX150 or Delphi weatherpack Aptiv, Molex, look at TE...
  11. Hit and Run -- The Jeep Won

    I usually drive pretty laid back but I've been fed up with the commuters lately. Won't be doing that again for sure. I was able to tell the cops during the initial report the (correct) first three characters of the plate, the make, model, trim level (limited badge :)), factory options/upgrades...
  12. Hit and Run -- The Jeep Won

    Hi everyone, The other day I was driving down my (residential) street around rush hour, 5PM. Someone in a Hyundai began riding my ass so I may or may not have brake checked him a little :giggle:. I won't do that again. I underestimated how crazy the general population can be. I live near...
  13. Hood Locks

    https://www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/hood-lock-kit-jeep-wrangler-jl-82215137 I thought I saw one was available for the JT at some point but it doesn't show up anymore. I held my breath on it for a while because it's over $200... but I would love to get rid of the extra key for the hood latches...
  14. Hood Locks

    I could’ve sworn I saw a grille-mounted lock for JT. Must be unavailable right now. There’s one for JL that’s available.
  15. Hood Locks

    I have them and they're very solid. You wouldn't be able to pop them open without damaging the hood and using a prybar or something. Now that there's a factory part available I might be interested in switching back to the stock hood latches... I live in a somewhat sketchy area and didn't want...
  16. Those complaining about the steering... get the Fox Steering Stabilizer

    True, true. This is the first new vehicle I've ever bought, I guess I have more faith in quality control than maybe I should.
  17. Those complaining about the steering... get the Fox Steering Stabilizer

    If you complain about the JT steering, try driving an XJ from the 90's with 150,000 miles... My Gladiator feels like a race car by comparison. It's not rack-and-pinion, you'll get used to it ;)
  18. I Had My First Accident. I'm sad.

    Man that sucks. I already have a scratch on my black hard top -- don't know how it got there or why it doesn't just rub off! I wanted the body color hard top but I figure the black one is a lot harder to visibly scratch/damage. My windshield recently broke. As someone who likes restoring...
  19. Gladiator...on a budget (LOL :)

    And all I want is to find a first gen ZJ grand cherokee without rusted through rockers...
  20. Cracked Windshield Club

    Anyone know what part numbers I should be getting from the dealership? I've called a couple and they keep giving me 68291705AC which shows up as a 2018 JL Wrangler windshield when I google it. I have an Overland Gladiator with the premium audio, no active safety. I'd like to be getting the...
