2011 JKUR, 3.8L Auto, Rock Krawler 3.5" X-factor lift, Yeti Tie rod, Yukon 5.38 gears, Cooper ST-maxx 37x13.50R17 on Black Rhino wheels. Really miss the height, DON'T miss the 3.8L!
Traded for a 2021 JT Rubicon, still stock (for now).
Yeah, the Willys wagons and pickup trucks are cool.
The truck cab can be a little cramped for "modern man", though.
Sadly I had to sell my pickup. Didn't have the money to finish restoring it.
My truck was transferred from another local dealership who had gotten it transferred from a dealership in PA. It had roughly 415 miles on it when I picked it up.
My previous JKUR was also driven up from PA and had 450 miles on it.
Don't sweat it. These trucks are more reliable than the...
Met up with another black Gladiator. Had some nice stickers all over.
The missus asked "is that the Mandalorian helmet", but it was just the Gladiator helmet. (Mine is the JTR)
I've had Sirius since I bought my JKUR new in 2011. Have enjoyed having the various music channels when I drive, and it was very helpful when I drive my Gladiator across country.
But with the ever increasing editing of songs, the talking over the intro/ending (like terrestrial radio does), and...
I had the heated TruckLites on my JKUR. Never had an ice-up in winter.
Was hoping Jeep did something with the stock LEDs to keep them ice-free, but it looks like I might have to swap them out if they get bad enough.
I'll wait til after my first winter with this JTR before I make any decisions.
So Mopar is finally coming back out with one of the things I loved about my old Comanche. The easily washable flooring (the Comanche had rubber flooring instead of carpet).
When I went in to order my JT they found one nearby that was 95% close to what I wanted.
The differences weren't worth waiting months for my Gladiator, and I've been very happy with it.
The primary differences for me were AT vs MT tires, no tonneau, and hardtop instead of softtop.
you don't see the rear JT bulkhead, but the lower portion of the image is faded out.
Look at the roll bar. Seems to drop immediately at or closely after the rear seat?
I would rather see an in-bed option that stands the spare up on the passenger side, since 80% of the time it's just me in the jeep.
But this would reduce cargo capacity, and effectively make tonneau covers useless.
And we don't have clearance on the outside of the bed to run a spare carrier...
