Is yours a Diesel? (I read on your bio you have a 2020, so I assume gas). On the Diesel it is quite tough (impossible?) to get up there. As I recall, an extension wouldn't even work because of the angles. But I might take another run at it, maybe remove fender liners etc. and see if I can get...

Yup, dealer "service" is a sore spot. But at least with the Jeep you've got tons of aftermarket options, and after your warrantee is over, tons of offroad shops with very capable techs and deep jeep knowledge. ... and this forum!

Yea, you do want to figure out what base level you want to start at that doesn't require throwing out some expensive option, or adding a more expensive add on. For me, I was tossing between Mojave and Rubicon Diesel. I figured I could add a Mojave-like suspension for way less than adding a...

As appropriately noted, I think you started out saying this is your first jeep. You are officially baptized now! "The purchase price of this jeep was a down payment for the cost of all the mods". Doesn't matter if you start with a Sport or a Rubicon, you are still going to spend money... and...

Be sure to check the installation guide thoroughly. I have a diesel set... got them because they were one of the few (only) affordable aluminum (less weight) diesel specific... installation advertised "no drilling". But didn't read the install instructions first. Turns out on the diesel...

Nice idea. I've done a similar setup for my JK, a plank with front tire brackets that I velcro strapped to the 60% portion of the back seat back. I've been looking for a good way to do a similar setup on the Gladiator, and your magnet idea is pretty good. How stable is it on bumpy roads...

Good advice above on figuring out what you need, eg how you plan on using it. I haul kayaks into the mountains, so fiberglass offerings when I was buying were not capable. i got an RSI. It's load rated to 300/700 lb dynamic/static. Gull wings for side access are awesome. It weighs 180 lbs...

https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...with-alu-cab-canopy-camper.64951/post-1142017 Here is the link to a forum member with it installed on a rubicon. He replaced the winchplate with a Grimm model. You could reach out to him on fitment with the swaybar disconnects, etc on the rubicon.

I was researching this as well a few months ago, and saw a vid on a build (might have been the same referenced above). The guy liked the overall product, but commented on the weakness of the winchplate. He subsequently posted a number of videos showing is trail recoveries after installing the...

Yup, the Ozark topper caught my eye as well. If he had the specs right at 65lb weight, and 1500lb load (I assume that is static, not dynamic), then that topper is less than 1/2 the weight of even normal fiberglass, much less aluminum or stainless (140/160/180 respectively) and TWICE the load...

Thanks for the quick rundown of all the Gladiator builds. Some really nice rigs to cherry pick ideas from. FYI, the rack on the on the rig at 5:09 in the vid is made by Sherpa, in Berthoud CO. I swung by their shop when at Overland Expo Mountain in nearby Loveland, and they helped me special...

In place of the Mojave, they need to make you an "Outback" model... in diesel with a snorkel, no emissions equipment and a larger fuel tank! After 200k kilometers you could ship them to the US and sell them used for what you bought them for.

So, the dealer responses to this are all over the map. Some made lists of owners and are working them off in order, some are getting parts, even though their is a warehouse strike, ... one thing seems consistent is they are working on their unsold inventory before fixing trucks on the road. My...

My dealer says all the parts that just came available, went back to unavailable to order due to warehouse strike. They keep no "lists" of people needing fixes, and no communication on whether they are fixing new inventory before existing customers. I have the second eco-Glad purchased in the...

@JeepCares , Any updated target date? Just called my dealer this morning and the new parts are still not available to them.

This happened to me, and fortunately I was just a couple of miles from my dealer and they were able to fit me in. In my case the tech triangulated to otherwise unrelated codes it was throwing, and determined it was not getting enough air to do a regen. changed the air filter (even though...

I had a similar problem, when towing, in hot weather, getting a "Service Shifter" error and then the the dash would light up with all sorts of errors, and I'd go into limp mode. I chased down some of the "hot wire harness" possibilities... these are documented better on the Wrangler forum for...

@Pescatoral Pursuit , Are your Falcons the JT Diesel version, or JT Gas versions? Falcon is one of the only manufacturers that offers a Diesel specific JT shock...different part numbers on their website. I'm assuming the Diesel version has more damping for the heavier front end.

Glad it was something simple.

Yup... been there in the 3.6 world. Had a cracked oil filter manifold. Replaced it with a metal one... also they need to replace the oil cooler on the 3.6 version, because it is mounted on the oil filter manifold, and the original cooler will not fit on the metal manifold. ... also had the...
