  1. Anyone paint or Linex the OEM front skid?

    I removed the skid plate and then used 1967 Corvette engine orange, just sprayed it over the factory gray, no prep. Then, I sprayed clear water proof "Flex Seal" spray sealer (get at Lowe's etc) over the orange. I repeated these steps about 5 times over about an hour. I let it dry for a few...
  2. Talk me into a Sunrider

    oh, btw, I saw the comment in here not wanting the Sunrider to say Bestop on it versus keeping a Jeep all Mopar. I've thought about removing the two Bestop logo emblems, one on each side. I'm fairly sure you can use dental tape behind them to just get them to come off. Then, some WD40 to remove...
  3. Talk me into a Sunrider

    I've had various Wranglers and always thought the Sunrider was a waste of money since panels easy to take on and off. But, you then have to have them in your Jeep or leave them behind which leaves your Jeep open during stops at stores etc. Well, on the JTM I thought I'd try the Sunrider Twill...
  4. 1000 miles leaking axle, metal shavings in differential

    Update: They replaced the entire rear axle end to end on mine. New one came complete with new brakes etc all attached right out of the crate. Upon taking it in when the leak and metal shavings were seen, I was told it was not safe to even drive it home. Since, at the time, it would be a good...
  5. Should I go Rubicon or Mojave?

    From experience, having had Rams, Porsche 911 Turbos, Wrangler Rubicons etc, I always say deduct 20 percent from what the window sticker says you will get in MPG and that's about what you will get in the real world. On the JTM, I'm hitting 18 to 20 when mostly freeway driving. When I throw in...
  6. Should I go Rubicon or Mojave?

    So many good responses here for the JTM and the JTR. I'd long been a Rubicon only Jeep buyer. Saw the Mojave briefly on the lot, didn't bother driving it. Again, I'm a multiple "Rubicon only" Wrangler buyer over the years. On any given week I can be between two states in various seasons of...
  7. 1000 miles leaking axle, metal shavings in differential

    I was prepared for needing a new rear axle, that's why I had them look at the axle ahead of time while I waited, then said I'd come back when it was in. I also was prepared and did have them verify the leak hadn't touched the brakes yet. However, I was surprised to hear about the metal...
  8. 1000 miles leaking axle, metal shavings in differential

    Just a head's up. my JT has about 1000 miles on it. I'd seen post about leaking rear axles so I checked. Yep, it's leaking. I told a friend to check her JT as well, it has about 2k miles on it. Yep, it's got the leaking rear axle. The dealer just called to say on looking over my Jeep, they also...
  9. How long have you owned your Gladiator? Still Love it?

    That's a Jeep trademark, with no extra option fee for it, going back many years! lol.
  10. New Legit Medical Reason - Quieting the JT or JL Cabin

    as a few have mentioned, there are sound assassin strips that can come with/go under hot head headliners that help reduce interior noise. The Mopar liners are kind of just stuck on up there and are more flimsy by comparison. You mentioned maybe getting a Ram instead, I've had many, including...
  11. Anyone move from a fullsize pickup to a Gladiator and regret it?

    I now consider it a blessing that a lemon Ram, and a year long battle to get it purchased back by FCA, resulted in me getting a JTM. Many 4x4 Rams over the years and a good number of Wranglers. The JT is just the right mix for my needs. I want to be able to drive just about anywhere from the...
  12. Gladiator Lemons?

    Update to my original post that started this thread, that I was just reminded of by getting an alert there were updated responses. Well, A year to the week of starting the lemon law battle over the Ram, it just went back under lemon law two days ago. So much of the paperwork already asked for...
  13. New 2020 Mojave - Worn White Leather - Get a deal?

    Oregon as well. I’ve purchased from several Jeep dealers around the state over the years from Salem to Newport to a few in Portland to Island City. In my experience, the best one for pricing, no BS, professionalism, really works on the old principle of a handshake and his word is Legacy Jeep...
  14. Unique Post // I've decided my Gladiator Rubicon is not the vehicle for me : /

    Many Hemi Ram 1500 4x4 Limiteds and Rubicon Wranglers over the years. I waited for the 2021 JT specifically for the full time 4x4 option for $695. Similar to the original poster, i'm up and down a mountain from the desert floor to 6100 feet altitude too often to count. Also driving state to...
  15. Is my brother making the wrong move?

    I've had Rams and Jeep Wranglers in the mix on and off for years. I'm now 10 months into my lemon law battle with FCA over my new Ram. They finally sent the paperwork last month and it was wrong, to their advantage of course, so back the paperwork went. How many more months will this take? Have...
  16. “Dealing with Rokbloks when you pay and their product never shows up.”

    Called PayPal, Amex linked to it, sent an email to Rokblokz to send a pre paid envelope to get the bracket box back, I’m not going to send them back at my expense. I’ll tape up the failing apart box they came in best I can and return them, as you’ve read, since the mud flaps never came...
  17. “Dealing with Rokbloks when you pay and their product never shows up.”

    Amongst the numerous emails and a lot of time wasted, again as there is no phone number to call to Rokblokz and each email to them takes a day or two for them to get back to you, I’ve mentioned to Rokblokz to just send another set, offer to the customer, “Let’s give it another couple days and...
  18. “Dealing with Rokbloks when you pay and their product never shows up.”

    If they actually showed up, or when clearly lost for two weeks,, if Rokblokz sent out another set instead of giving the customer the run around, telling them to return the brackets at the customer’s cost,, I’d have made the flaps work no matter what screws I had to go to Ace and get myself...
  19. “Dealing with Rokbloks when you pay and their product never shows up.”

    Oh, I know, I read so many bad reviews about Rokblokz, their install kits and the procedure. But, I’m so hands on, been building cars since I was 14, that some short screws or figuring out an instal is not a big deal to me. reading all those posts here, on FB etc wasn’t a deterrent, I still...
