  1. The dreaded 3.6 oil cooler replacement

    Hello all! 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport-S, 71k miles. I've been reading and watching vids about the problematic oil cooler on the 3.6l Pentastar motor. I'm being paranoid now, and have decided that I want to be proactive and replace the 4 year old cooler with an upgraded aluminum one. I know...
  2. Huge MPG change?

    My ride is a 2020 Gladiator Sport-S. Had 18" rims with 32" Bridgestone Duelers. I got about 18-19 MPG around town. I added a lift kit, which should not affect anything mileage wise I would think. I got a new steel bumper. When I got the lift kit, I went to 35x12.5 Toyo's. I'm noticing my MPG...
  3. Let's buy some tires!

    The set-up: stock 2020 Gladiator Sport-S, running Overland 18's with the Duehler A/T tires. I want the MOPAR 2" lift, and some more aggressive tires for occassional off-roading (not rock climbing, but there are rocky spots). I'm still a bit confused on the tire sizing. I'm so used to classic...
  4. The dreaded sunvisor

    Seems I've discovered the only major flaw I've really found with my Jeep...the dreaded sunvisor fail. During the trip out to OR in October, the passenger side sunvisor's swivel mount failed, and it was left hanging. I could not remove it from the storage position or it would flop around. I got...
  5. Door storage

    I'm sure this has been batted around. When removing doors, I know there are pre-made carts (aka $$), brackets, etc. Has anyone just gone to big box store and used some type of bicycle hooks/ladder hooks, etc for these? I was thinking some of those, and getting either foam insulation for pipes...
  6. Advice for welding needed

    I'm placing this in the general topic area. I know there are a lot of you that build your custom rigs. I've been a Pontiac Firebird builder for most of my life. I've had 2 Firebirds, a TA, and dabbled with a 67 Chevelle. The one area I've never gotten good with is welding. But I want to start...
  7. Dimensions of the adventure rails

    Can someone please take the length measurements of the adventure rails. MOPAR or otherwise, for the JT? The side rails butt into the "front" rail (behind the rear passenger area), correct? I'm making my own with 1 5/8" unistrut (non-galvanized), and I have 3 5' sections. I want to cut them to...
  8. U-connect issue (part 2 of 2)

    Let me preface with background on issue: Dealer upgraded the radio in my Sport-S prior to my purchase to the 8.4 updated Overland radio. I attempted to try and use the "auto-level" function, and the radio would play for 5 seconds, quiet for 5 seconds, play....Took to dealer, they found an...

  10. NexGen ceramic "wax"...POS?

    Hello all! Yesterday, I hand washed my ride in my driveway. Pressure washed, soaped...used Meguliars car soap, nice soft mitt, dried with chamois... I then pulled into shade to keep car cool. I followed the instructions on this expensive little product...19.99 for 8 oz. Lots of hype on YouTube...
  11. RTT vs "Adventure" trailer

    I’m on the fence on a critical decision. I have been looking at several YouTube channels that talk about overlanding and Jeeps. “The Story til Now”, “Ozark Outdoor Adventures”, and a couple others. I don’t mind tent camping. I like to camp in the spring and fall, summer can be too hot and humid...
  12. Automated car wash issue

    A friend of mine liked my Gladiator, and bought one. She is having a strange issue, and I was looking for feedback. She takes her 2021 Sport S to local automated car wash. She said everytime she does it, it seems like he is going "faster" than other vehicles. She has even tapped the brakes a...
  13. Jeep Adventure Academy

    I got an email from official Jeep Adventure Academy. They are offering official Jeep academies again, now that COVID restrictions have been eased a bit. Has anyone gone to one of these? Is it worth the $199.00 price for a day-long academy? For the record, I'm a member of Midwest Jeepthing. I...
  14. Graphics for hood, etc.

    Vehicles...love them or hate them, right? I've named my 68 Firebird before, and my 79 TA. Cars are usually considered "female" (and please don't start the assigning gender blah blah blah stuff). Since I have a Red JT, I was thinking of naming her the "Red Baroness". I wanted to get some cool...
  15. Auto trans tunnel side storage containers...thoughts?

    What I'm referencing to are these: https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Sparta-2018-2019-Gladiator-Accessories/dp/B07ZZ235V2/ref=psdc_15735461_t2_B07VLL84F3 Anyone have these? I'm just curious if you hit them with your legs a lot or not. Do they get in the way? I'm always looking for extra storage space :)
  16. UConn vs. Android Auto

    When I bought my Jeep, I was so excited because I could use Android Auto! However, I am finding more and more that I prefer the UConn apps/nav moreso than the Android Auto stuff. I like Waze. But I like the UConnect app being able to send an address to my nav unit (which it wont do for Android...
  17. Jeep Clubs?

    Anyone know of any Jeep clubs in the St. Louis area?
  18. Specific tires

    Total noob 4x4 question. I got a 2020 JT with the Overland tire upgrade. All Terrain tires and the stock Overland 18" rims. I like them. I can find items to spend my money on rather than different rims and tires. But SHOULD I be getting different tires/rims? For normal, everyday driving, I'm...
  19. 1st vs 2nd gen differences

    I have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. I learned when I bought my bed cover that there were slight differences between the 1st gen (prior to March 2020), and 2nd gen (after March 2020). This had to do with the type of rivnut installed in the backet behind the passenger compartment, at the "front" of the...
  20. Upcoming 3 day drive to OR, need tips and advice

    I am taking a 3-day trip up to OR from MO. I have a 5 year old dog that doesn't love/hate car rides. He and I are going to OR for a month, luckily I can WFH and just work from my friend's place. While I can certainly grab a pet-friendly hotel, I'm thinking about making this trip "epic"...
