  1. Solved)Scrape sound over bumps or dips in road..help!

    Local long-time Jeep tech always sez: "Jeep's will do that. Just ignore it." 🤔
  2. GATOR Gladiator JT Club

    What winch are you running? I'm thinking that needs to be the next 'upgrade' on my Gator Rubi, now that the dealer's service department finally fixed the leaking axle seal.
  3. Below Invoice Discussion @ Motor Inn of Spirit Lake

    Ha! 6-8% below EP pricing, now that's a real steal ofva deal. Negotiate hard, ... don't be a Snowflake. ;)
  4. Leaking axle seal?

    Depends on whether you view your Glad as a daily driver, or as a 'weekend life-style toy.' :surprised: :headbang: :LOL:
  5. Leaking axle seal?

    Maybe I got lucky. Both the service tech & the Service Manager checked the replacement seals for leakage when I took the Rubi back in. Found none. This last visit was to replace the control arm (and related parts) that was causing the 'popping' sound in the rear when backing up and turning or...
  6. Leaking axle seal?

    Quick update on mine, as I just got it back on Tuesday. The tech previously replaced the axle/seals due to fluid leaking, and replaced the sway bar end links thinking that would stop the intermittent 'popping' noise coming from the rear. It didn't. It continued to happen when backing up and...
  7. Leaking axle seal?

    Yep, leaking like a frickin dike, just like mine ... So, does Jeep care? 🤔
  8. Leaking axle seal?

    Yes, but I should've added a bit more detail. It took the tech about three trys with test driving to isolate and identify the source of the popping. He finally used some type of listening device attached to the underside in the back (forgot what the Service Manager called it). Unfortunately...
  9. Leaking axle seal?

    On mine, the dealer's service techs got the replacement seals in pretty quickly, but other parts were out of stock/backordered. They won't have a replacement control arm in for several weeks. Rubi is still drivable, but there's that enjoyable intermittent 'popping' noise. Took my buddy for a...
  10. Leaking axle seal?

    Yes. Mine's a Rubi and had that problem, in addition to the 'popping' noise when turning or backing up, which was not caused (apparently) by the cracked axle or seals.
  11. Leaking axle seal?

    Late to this thread .... but here's what I know: My Gladiator is a 2020 Rubi. Took delivery Jan. 2020. In Dec 2020, I started hearing a 'popping'-type sound somewhere on the underside on the rear driver's side when backing up and turning, or sometimes when driving over uneven ground or...
  12. Rear under seat storage box

    Thanks. Okay, so from your pictures it appears the dividers are removable and a long arm could be laid in there, and then the bin locked by putting the seats down to secure it (?).
  13. Rear under seat storage box

    I like that, but maybe I'm confused. Is the framing of the bin itself aluminum?
  14. Rear under seat storage box

    I guess I'd need to see a pic of how a 'long gun' can be securely stored in it. Shotgun, rifle, whatever.
  15. Rear under seat storage box

    Please do... Thanks! :like:
  16. Rear under seat storage box

    Yep. .... Really disappointing that Tuffy hasn't gotten into the ballgame on this one.
  17. Solved)Scrape sound over bumps or dips in road..help!

    Stock Rubi with 7K miles. The sound I'm starting to hear is more like a 'popping' noise that comes intermittently from the rear (sounds like drivers side). It doesn't happen when driving straight on the highway, but if I'm, say, backing up and turning it will, or if I'm driving on uneven...
  18. Metal Rear Seat Lock Boxes?

    Interesting! Thanks for the heads-up.
  19. Metal Rear Seat Lock Boxes?

    Bumping this thread, ... in case anyone's recently spotted something on the aftermarket (?).
