Ok I figured I’d make an update to this thread. I ordered and bought a JTRD back in 2021 and put 17k miles on it and loved it ever since. I also have been running 35s and it’s been great.
I got my diesel rubicon less than a month ago and put 650 miles on it, and I love it. It makes a good amount of torque, and I am getting 23.5 mpg around town.
I don’t plan on abusing my bed like it was a tradesmen so the premium seems like the better option thank you.
Also, that’s a good point I was planning on getting UV coating anyway.
I plan to get line-x spray in bed liner for my gladiator, and I'm not sure the difference between the premium and platinum options. Does anyone know the difference between the two liners?
All I gotta say is that I love my ecodiesel over the 3.6 jku that I had. The difference in torque makes up for the 20hp loss. I mainly bought the diesel because of the torque and I think of the increased mpg as a plus. I was getting 25mpg on a 400-mile trip going mostly 77mph. Where the 3.6l on...
So to answer your first question yes I have I checked it out during the day as well as at night. Initially I was between hydro blue and snazzle but I decided to go with the snazzle especially since I’m putting bronze rims on it, I think it will look really nice.
Also I am aware of the chip...
I think I’m going to go with the 2021 when I finally get it after ordering from either a pa, nj, or va dealer (whichever gives me the best price) I’ll post a couple pics
They do sell and aftermarket plug in for your usb in the center console that will make it wireless CarPlay. I’m sure there’s a couple videos on it too and the good ones run for $100 or so I think
Hey everyone, I currently own a 2017 JKUR with a stock motor, 3.73 gearing, and 35s. My jk is practically new with only 36,000 miles with a good amount of mods put into it.
I am considering trading in my jk for a Gladiator rubicon diesel mainly for the increased torque, and the fuel economy...
If I was keeping the jkur I would probably end up regearing it because you're right it needs it.
What kind of lift kit do you have? I kind of figure the mpg would be a bit low I am guessing you're mainly driving around town? I noticed the stock jtrd I test drove was getting 17 mpg but I didn't...
Thanks for the input and I was initially looking at the 392 but I don't really want to spend 75k. It's also good that you are not having any issues going up mountains with the diesel because my jkur doesn't do to well going uphill in the Virginia mountains. I also only getting 12-15mpg on the...
Hey y’all I’ve been looking into ordering a Jeep gladiator rubicon with the diesel for a little while now mainly because of the mpg difference compared to my Jkur with 35s. I also really enjoy the amount of torque it has. I had the opportunity to test drive one recently and immediately fell in...
