  1. Anyone break the rear glass on a hardtop yet?

    This happened to my truck yesterday. Something got between the rear seat head rest and the window. We went over a pretty signicant bump. There was a loud crack sound and both of Army veterans in the truck were pretty sure we were taking fire. "See any bullet holes?" "Where's the shooter!!"...
  2. HOTHEADS headliner review

    At this point, based on your experience can you recommend Hothead Headliners? Thanks in advance. Smittie
  3. Convert the center console USB-A to a USB-C?

    I use the USB port in the center console to connect my Pixel 5 Android (Android 1`1) to Android Auto almost exclusively. I have also used the USB port in the console to plug in a thumb drive and play audio files.
  4. Put my Gladiator on the scales

    MIne is fairly stock. 5000 lbs on the nose. 5180 lbs with my 180 lbs son in the passenger seat.
  5. AM/FM Antenna Delete - Moving From Exterior to Interior

    I am looking to mount another antenna in that general location using Rugged Radio's passenger side NMO mount. Given that I pretty much NEVER listen to AM or FM radio, that antenna is entirely superfluous. I am planning to use this replacement and run it out under the hood...
  6. What are the "MUST HAVE" mods after buying your Gladiator? ($5,000 starting budget)

    It depends a lot on what your uses will be. I have a Willys model. I am replacing front and rear bumpers with solid steel. Mounting a winch for self-recovery. Putting in two radios (GMRS and CB) because the crowd I run with is a mix. Molle panels in the bed to serve as tie down for gear and to...
  7. How do Gladiators handle on the highway?

    I drive 400 to 600 miles across Montana on a regular basis. I recently drove from SW Montana to Fort Bragg, NC. I own a 2021 Willys Gladiator. On the trip to NC I drove 14 hours straight two days in a row. The vehicle does 80 mph comfortably but gets slightly better gas milage in the low 70's...
  8. What did you HAUL in your JT today?

    Trailer and truck weighed in at 7400 lbs, towed 400 miles across Montana. No issues, no problems, no struggles.
  9. If you could do it again... Gas or Diesel?

    And they do not like cold weather.
  10. Uconnect flash/harddrive format and question

    I have a 2021 Gladiator with a 7" display system. I have verified that FAT and NTFS formatted 128 gb flash drives can be used on my system. Linux ext4 formatting does not work. It takes several minutes for the system to scan the entire drive and make the 'Browser' available but once complete...
  11. UConnect supported audio file format list

    The Uconnect 7 inch system in my 2021 reads 128 gb flash drives without issue. It takes a while for the system to make browser available but once it does, everything else works fine. MP4 AAC encoding is playable. The flash drive can be formatted FAT or NTFS. I have not verified exFAT. Linux ext4...
  12. UConnect supported audio file format list

    It does not look like you have gotten any replies here. Have you learned anything for other sources? I am working on a deep drive into what the system support and how to make the most of USB content. I am working on supported codecs, sample rates and bitrates, playlist formats and ID3 tag...
  13. Remote start cold temps.

    Sub-zero mornings are pretty common here, especially these past ten days. Remote start works every time on both the Renegade and the Gladiator.
  14. Nobody waves anymore.

    Ditto Montana. 👋
  15. Bed mat or options?

    1. Did you get the BedTred? 2. Do you find that it traps moisture underneath it? 3. Do you think it is a rust problem?
  16. Speaker swap

    I completed the install of the Alpine SPV-65-JLTs and Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx. Installation was easy enough. Cutting out the plastic on my brand new (two weeks) Gladiator was a little bit disconcerting. The Alpines fit perfectly, the Infinitys were literally screw in and slap the factory...
  17. No bed power? No problem! $9.99 do it yourself.

    Not yet. The fabricator is still working on it. However, I found components that I like better. The plate will likely have two components in it, one Anderson Power Pole and a USB charging outlet. So, in the plate will have square holes rather than round ones. They are not water tight, I'm...
  18. Winch Power Interrupts

    I had the Warn Power Interrupt Kit on my last Jeep. Worked flawlessly for 15 years. No need to open the hood to use the winch. The synthetic winch line reduces or eliminates the need to put the hood up during recovery operations (yes, I've seen both steel cable and synthetic line part). As...
  19. Winch Power Interrupts

    Appreciate the photo. It looks like it will fit in there the way I plan. I had the Warn Power Interrupt Kit installed on my last Jeep. It worked very well for the entire 15 years I owned it. The Warn solution works well. I was only hoping to find a solenoid with a more narrow width. I will...
  20. Winch Power Interrupts

    Thank you. Based on this, I have gone back to figuring out where to place the Warn Power Interrupt Kit solenoid. I wish Jeep designed in a little more space for owner added components.
