  1. Gasser real world fuel economy

    I have a 2021 Sport with soft tonneau cover. Once I started limiting my top speed to 65 mph, I got as high as 25 mpg on a tank of gas, but that was on the stock tires, 245/75R17 (31.5" height). I recently upgraded my tires to all-terrain 285/70R17 (32.7" height) to match what comes stock on the...
  2. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    This is true. The front bolts aren't really necessary. Just maybe some adhesive in case it wants to rattle.
  3. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    What I wish someone told me was that I need to adjust the visors so the trim panel can be lowered even further.
  4. Bulkhead (top left and right side) threading missing?!!

    My 2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport also had no threads behind the bulk head holes. So I followed the advice here. I ordered a rivnut tool that came with M8 nutserts. The hole wasn't quite big enough for the nutsert, so I got a drill step bit to widen it just a little. The nutsert worked well for the...
  5. Motor Trend's Most Disappointing Cars and SUVs We Drove in 2020

    I bought my Gladiator because it was narrow, rated well for projected 5-year total cost of ownership (TCO) and rated well with Consumer Reports. But now that I own it, my favorite part about owning it is this Forum right here since my experience drilling into wires and breaking it.

  7. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    You fixed it! The windshield wiper stopped as soon as I replaced the fuse. All the steering wheel controls function now. The only remaining problem is the dash saying to service traction control. I'll see if I can clear that code and if it stays away.
  8. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    Thanks for all the great feedback. Tomorrow, my plan is to test all the fuses since I haven't done that yet. I'm also especially interested in what @Jimmy07 was just saying about fuse F33 and the driver assist module. I won't have as much time to work on the Jeep tomorrow as I did today, but I'm...

    Looks like my home insurance deductible is $1,000.
  10. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    I went to a friend's house in Riverton and we took out the whole wiring harness, resoldered the three wires, and then did tests. We tested continuity, measured 0.6 ohms on all the wires, and found no shorts between any other wires. We put it all back together, and stuff still doesn't work. He...
  11. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    Thank you. This gives me hope that it can be fixed. I am not skilled with solder, but I took a stab at it late last night and failed miserably. I reached out to my local ham radio community and found a bunch of people ready and willing to help with their soldering skills. I hope to have an...
  12. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    I took another stab at splicing the wires. In the dark with a flashlight in my teeth and frozen fingers, I used the soldering iron I borrowed tonight and gave it a shot. Then I wrapped it up with electrical tape and tried to twist it all together. Still, the bad symptoms persist. I may try again...
  13. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    Thank you. I ordered the harness. It'll take some time to receive it. Meantime, I'll get a soldering iron and electrical tape and do what I can to splice, twist, and shield the wires even better. I'll follow-up either way.
  14. SOLVED: Broke my Gladiator by drilling into wires

    I have a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport and I wanted to mount a ham radio. So I ordered an Overhead MOLLE Panel from JcrOffroad and mounted it tonight. Unfortunately I've had nothing but trouble ever since. The symptoms I noticed: - It didn't detect my key fob so I had to push the start button with...
