  1. The Jeep Gladiator Is the Most Reliable Car Consumer Reports Has Tested

    I take all reports on 4WD vehicles with a really big grain of salt. These reviewers do not take driver ability, mentality or behavior into account. Whether it was the 1980's Suzuki Samarai and its crash worthiness (exact model still sold in Japan as the Jimney), the 1980's Isuzu Trooper II and...
  2. Gladiator in snow - disappointment?

    2020 Glad Rubi (JTR) on stock 33 inch Falken M/Ts snow report. Given that we have been having one of our strange winters of alternating sub-zero temps and high winds with warm temps and wet snow, our roads change every couple of meters from bare gravel, to loose ball bearing like spindrift to...
  3. Remote start cold temps.

    Mild winter here in my part of Alaska this year, but we still have had several weeks of below zero temps (along with days and days of 50 to 70 mph winds). Remote start did just fine with my 2020 Glad Rubi sitting outside and not plugged in. Yes, I am getting old and like my vehicle warm in the...
  4. New Jeep Owner

    ALCON: For my 2020 Glad Rubi (JTR) I just ordered the new RSi SmartCap (South Africa) EVOa model with load bars. Scheduled install early March and will get color matched (Gator green) Line-X coating same time as cab tub and rocker panels. FYI: Price for topper, shipping and install was $3400...
  5. New Jeep Owner

    Havoc 6, If your Glad is also a daily driver or close, agree with going with 33 Falken A/Ts. I have a 2020 Glad Rubicon (JTR) that came with 33 Falken M/Ts. Although 33s within spec for driveline performance, the mileage and handling are dreadful, as with any M/T. My JTR is strictly a toy, so...
  6. Gladiator in snow - disappointment?

    Improved night time snow driving viz? Just close your eyes and let the force guide you. Seems what most here in Alaska do (we have some seriously messed up Star Wars geeks up here). Reality, Rain-X the lenses does help if temperature not too cold. But up here at -35F, also carry a spray bottle...
  7. Gladiator in snow - disappointment?

    2020 JTR w/ auto tranny on stock 33 Falken M/Ts here in Alaska. This year has been alternating light snow and heavy freezing rain over gravel roads. Unstudded M/Ts are the worst for winter (and yes we stud M/Ts up here if you want). If don't want to buy dedicated snow tire, then good A/Ts are...
  8. So why do people like ground tents?

    5JeepsAZ - Floating island of plastic bottles right up there with the Redneck who put foam insulation pontoons and electric trolling motor on folding lawn chair. Digging it.
  9. Is Selec-Trac worth trading in your 2020 Gladiator for a 2021?

    Let me preface this dissertation with the recommendation of reading the (90's) English Government study on driver habits with modern vehicles equipped with ABS. Short answer is vehicle crashes did not go down with the introduction of ABS. People simply drove more aggressively, with the believe...
  10. So why do people like ground tents?

    RTTs v. Ground Tent from an Alaskan perspective: RTT Pros: gets you off the ground and away from ground critters, gets you off the ground and in the air flow to help with the Mozzies, and gets you off the ground when the afternoon snow melt floods cause the river to over-flow its banks. RTT...
