    2021 Overland, almost 36,000 miles, zero issues.
  2. Can we talk about 2 things ?

    When the current Gladiator was first announced, I wondered why the called it Gladiator instead of Scrambler. The original Scrambler was basically a Wrangler with a bed, whereas the original Gladiator was a truck that bore no resemblance to the CJ. I was provided a 2.0L Wrangler the last time I...

  4. Do other motorists think your OEM LEDs are on high beam?

    I have a stock Overland with halogen headlights and I still get flashed by people who think they are too bright. I have upgraded to better halogen bulb, but I suspect part of the issue may be the height of the Gladiator compared to most cars. It seems to happen usually when I am cresting a...

  6. Worst on Consumer Reports

    I quite paying attention to anything CR had to say about motor vehicle testing back with they declared the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon to be unsafe. They were one of the early low cost front wheel drive cars so CR made up a test where they would drive down the road, turn the steering wheel 90...

  9. Errors on Brand New Gladiator

    I picked up my MT Overland in March. Just hit 15,000 miles this weekend, zero issues.
  10. Radio state at start up

    Same here. It starts up in whatever mode it was in when I shut if off. I don't recall having to do anything in the set up to achieve that. What radio do you have? Mine is the 8.4 Nav, maybe there is a difference in how different units behave.
  11. At that Line...

    Electric Jeeps make me sad.
  12. 6 Speed Manual Regrets?

    I got this from Quadratec: Holley 223-16 Intech Cold Air Intake for 18-20 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT with 3.6L | Quadratec It was the only CAI I found that used the bolts from the original to mount to the front. All the others seem to just be supported at the ends by the throttle body...
  13. 6 Speed Manual Regrets?

    I also found the super quiet engine a challenge with the manual transmission. I thought about an aftermarket exhaust, but was afraid it would be obnoxiously loud, and it is difficult to judge the sound levels watching on line videos. I instead installed a Holley/Intech cold air intake. This...
  14. Accessories: When to Mopar, and when to not?

    Seems to me Mopar accessories are hit and miss. I bought the Mopar grab handles because they were the only ones I could find designed to fit using the existing screws in the roll cage. I did not want the velcro attached options otherwise available. Same with the bug deflector - only Mopar has...
  15. Jeeps Parking Next To Jeeps

    The Jeep fleet at my house.
  16. Rugged Ridge Door Sill guards

    I went with the Rugged Ridge. No complaints, they installed with no issues. Wanted something to cover that ridge, as the paint is all worn away at that point on my CJ5.
  17. Get a duck yet?

    Got ducked yesterday. Suspect the red Rubicon Wrangler was responsible.
  18. Better gas mileage than expected??

    My stock manual Overland runs 22 - 23 mpg driving back roads and state highways to work and back. Interstate driving runs 24 - 25 mpg. I usually keep within 5 mph of the posted speed limits.
  19. I have been ordered to buy a "bug deflector"

    I went with the Mopar version as I did not want to put adhesive on the hood. It does not require any drilling either, as it used fittings that insert into existing holes on the underside of the good for the screws to fasten to. I attached the bumpers to the bottom of the deflector instead of...
