i have one that was leak-free the first time that i put it on, then leaked when i put it back on after a brief removal. make sure that you clean all of the edges/seals and then apply a good amount of pressure from the top of the rails while you secure the bolts. that solved it for me.
car rivalry people regardless of what they drive are idiots. it's a fucking vehicle. who cares what other people buy? even the bronco threads here are cringe-worthy.
i'm honestly shocked that you were surprised by the exclusion of a cd player with the way infotainment has progressed (not the desire for one because wanting one is entirely reasonable).
conversely, i was shocked that my wife's new forester included one.
keep in mind that prices for 2022 models are up across the board, some a full $2k+. on the other hand, gas prices are kicking me real hard and i might do the same if the right offer comes in.
can't get max tow with the manual transmission and it isn't offered on overland. not sure if it's confirmed or not but i saw a build sheet with it offered on altitude package in 22.

someone on reddit got the exact numbers of gator gladiators produced and, more specifically, the amount of gator max tows. apparently only 673 max tow gators are out there.
they stuffed a 6.4 into the wrangler and i'd imagine that it has higher cooling requirements than the 5.7. gladiator is heavier of course, but only by around 600-700 lbs.
