Along Berdoo Canyon Road is this formidable hillclimb that doesn't look tough, but when I had 33's and no lift wasn't exactly possible. The other vehicles that made the climb had a difficult time ascending. This short section - usually on three wheels.

Long story short, I'm running 38's and on the way to work, the front passenger side made an extended grinding noise that went away at speeds below 15 mph. I will park my Gladiator until I have time to change out the front axle shafts next week. The surprising thing is how little I wheeled...

Day 1: Brooklyn Mine Jeep Trail (Joshua Tree) Black Diamond Trail. Day 2: The Bradshaw Trail - named for William Bradshaw, this was an overland route from Palm Springs (then, Agua Caliente) into the gold mines of central Arizona. We will meet up at the Love's Travel Stop at 45-761 Dillon Road...

I will head the Brooklyn Mine Jeep Trail run on Saturday, February 15th. Meetup is at 10am at Santana's Mexican restaurant. 73680 Sun Valley Road Twentynine Palms, CA We will drive 15 miles out of town to the former Old Dale Mining District. Here, we will descend into the Brooklyn mining...

Four Gladiators and a variety of Jeeps and two Toyotas traveled up the world famous Berdoo Canyon road leading into Joshua Tree National Park. A Cherokee XJ required towing that day, so our Gladiators went to work. Here is what our day looked like.

On Saturday, January 18th, we met up at Love's Travel Center in Coachella, CA for a day trip through Joshua Tree NP. An XJ Cherokee blew its radiator hose. Without a spare on hand, @willemlock positioned the XJ in line behind my Gladiator, and I towed the Cherokee up Berdoo Road. After...

This is a small run, open to any make/model 4WD vehicle with 538 interested and maybe 59 in actual attendance taking place in the middle of January. The location will be Joshua Tree - Berdoo Canyon Road - crossing the park and exiting along Old Dale Road and Gold Crown Road. Trail Level...

I like to run and lead trail runs over moderate level trails in the Southern California and Baja, Mexico region and I want my Gladiator to handle the same trails that my 2003 TJ Rubicon is built to complete. Since 1999, I have led runs into the Joshua Tree area (via Berdoo Canyon Road and Gold...

I began buying JP magazine just after it's late 90's relaunch. Now, the Gladiator began gaining some recognition in the magazine. What now!! https://www.foliomag.com/ten-publishing-shuttering-19-print-magazines/

I'm trying to figure what 30,000 mile tire would be better for the daily commute and the weekend trail. My JT sees 70 mile daily commutes (if not driving the built TJ Rubicon) each day. After installing the tall 4.5" EVO Enforcer Overland, I will want a tire that will provide the clearance to...

I will be running the 2" Daystar for about one year. One question about the lift is: Will I need (or want) a rear trackbar or is a raised rear trackbar mount included in the kit? I am buying a front trackbar to have installed that will center the front axle.

I have traveled some of Baja California's most challenging 4WD routes and recorded them onto my Google Pixel 3XL using the Geo Tracker app. I in turn, converted my data to GPX, KML, & KMZ formats when sharing with other Baja Jeepers. I noticed that UConnect provides waypoint track recording...

I just got off of the phone with Lauren who wants to interview Gladiator owners for her focus group. I will be there (Anaheim) on Monday 11/11 at 2:30 pm. Her # is 800-695-4794.

I read that you have to request for your owners manual to be mailed to you. Does anyone know about this and where to go (link) for your proper Owners manual - as opposed to the packet that came in the green pouch?

The amount of time it takes to rip a CD without cover art or song titles is time prohibitive. YouTube streaming with all of the adds is annoying, but not as bad as Sirius/XM's kiddie Punk station when you want your dose of 80's Hardcore. I'll never adjust to digital-only.

Over at the JL forum, I have read about steering box issues that have not yet affected us JT owners. Are JL and JT steering boxes the same in terms of quality and overall specifications? Why are there 'dead zones' in steering with the JL's when I can't detect this in my JTs steering? Is this...

It looks like that fancy belly pan or that 2" Mopar lift isn't necessary from the looks of this. Just Gladiators having old fashioned fun with what they brung. From the looks of it, don't change out those Falkens for BFG KO²'s just yet!

I plan on running the stock tire/wheel combo during the work week, and a no compromise tire wheel combo while wheeling out in the deserts and mountains here in my area (So Cal and Baja). Here is a basic way this might be achieved: 1. Run shock extensions rather than aftermarket shocks. The Fox...

I have driven on my Falken AT3Ws extensively through Baja California. They were reliable and provided ample traction through the weeklong trail run as we experienced heavy rainfall at times. Matomi Wash Baja Pole Line Road Mission Impossible trail Matomi Wash trail Calamajue...
