  1. Finally got the 2022 diesel rubicon.. review after 2300 miles

    I put on a 4.5" lift, 37s, beadlocks and a winch and I'm averaging around 15-16mpg. But I do accelerate a bit faster than everyone else and usually cruise at 80-90mph on the interstate. For reference, I was getting 18-19mpg stock. If I drive at a leisurely pace and stick to the speed limit, I...
  2. JT: Reliability

    I have 8500 miles on mine so it's still basically new. I did put on 37's and a 4.5" lift at 6000 miles. The only issue that I've had was the proximity key lock doesn't work about 30% of the time. It's a minor inconvenience but it's a rather annoying one when you expect it to work and it...

  4. Eco diesel Suspension bottoming out on normal roads

    The issue is that the bumpstops are hitting and not the shock bottoming out. So I'd assume that the new shocks are stiffer.
  5. Soft rolling tonneau for use w trail rails?

    I have the Mopar one and it works with the trail rail. I'm very satisfied with it.
  6. JT diesel Rubicon 4-5" lift options - help plan a build

    The stiffness is very minimal but the ride is much more controlled on the road. I opted for the overland version with the front lower control arm drop brackets for even better on road manners. It truly does ride great on the road. I can top out at 97mph and cruise there with no issues at all. I...
  7. JT diesel Rubicon 4-5" lift options - help plan a build

    I debated between the EVO 2.5", up to the EVO 4.5" lift, and everything in between. In the end I settled on the EVO 4.5" Stage 4+ Overland kit. The reason for going larger was that I went through the same decision when I had my JK. I debated between a 3" vs 4" lift. I settled for the 3" lift and...
  8. Request for pictures of Diesel Gladiators with lifts

    Here's mine with the EVO Stage 4+ Overland kit with Fox 2.0 4-6" shocks. Tires are 37x12.5r17 Cooper STT Pros. I like the lift. It's a bit firmer than stock. Which I feel is a good thing, since the stock Rubicon rode extremely softly. It still has a very slight rake to it, which I think a...
  9. New to the Gladiator World. Loved my JKU but really needed a small truck. So far..Great decision😎

    I loved my JKU as well. I ended up selling it last year. I bought a 2004 Jaguar XJ Super V8, HUGE mistake. Then I bought a Civic Type R, another mistake but it was a fun mistake. In the end I came back to Jeep and wanted the Gladiator. I'm so glad that I made that choice.
  10. Stopped using door hinge nuts

    I haven't taken the doors off my JT yet. However, on my JK I stopped putting the nuts back in at around 5k miles. Sold it at 105k miles and had no issues at all.
  11. How do you plan to drive your Gladiator?

    It's a daily driver for me. I live right in the middle of the city and don't get to go out an explore offroad much, maybe once a year if that. I just like the look.
  12. How long do you plan to keep this truck?

    Probably 6-7 years. After that I'll probably be looking into an electric truck.
  13. What did you HAUL in your JT today?

    Loaded up a few hundred pounds of LVT. Squatted a bunch but the power wise the diesel didn't care.
  14. Gladiator diesel real life MPG

    With heavy beadlocks, a winch, 37s, and a 4.5" lift im getting 15.9mpg. Not bad considering I was getting 17.5-18mpg stock. In my defense, my shoes are very heavy.
  15. Having trouble finding tires to buy

    I had to wait 2 months to get my 37x12.5 cooper stt pros...
  16. My personal opinion, its not sexy!

    I completely agree. I wouldn't have bought the gladiator if I was keeping it stock. I think they look off until you put some bigger tires on it. Here's mine.
  17. Do you use a cetane booster?

    I use Hot Shots EDT with each fill up. I use right under 1oz with each fill up.
  18. Cancel 3.6 Gas order for a new 3.0 Ecodiesel order?

    I'll make the choice just a bit harder. I knew that if I got a Gladiator that I would be going to 37s as soon as I could. One test drive of the diesel and I was sold. I had the 3.6 in my JK for 7 years and I just didn't like the engine. It was NOT reliable for me and I didn't enjoy revving it...
  19. Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

    Here's mine. 4.5" EVO stage 4+ overland lift 37x12.5r17 Cooper STT Pro 17" KMC Grenade Beadlocks Front and Rear Adams 1350 driveshafts Rides great. Got it up to 90mph and no issues with the tires at all.
  20. Building a 4.5" EVO/Frankenlift

    Nice! I just installed the EVO 4.5" lift with the FOX 2.0 shocks and it rides great! It's a little firmer than stock, but then again, I though stock was too soft.
