For those apprehensive about doing this (like I was) I ended up going with 70% Xpel Prime XR Plus which is their highest end ceramic to protect my dash and stop the heat. Not one person that I have had inside or outside has been able to tell my windshield is tinted. I have to tell them every...

If we see it, it will be heavily detuned similar to the 5.7 Hemi in the Grand Cherokee at 360 HP (All others in the mopar line up had 395 HP at launch for Non-SRT Hemis). Jeep has never done a high HP vehicle outside of the SRT Cherokee and limited run of 392 Wranglers until recently. That...

Clayton makes slightly stiffer front springs for the diesel for stock height - this helps the bottoming out issue. Jeep Wrangler JK/JL 1.5" Front Coil Springs, & Jeep Gladiator JT 0.5" Lift Front Coil Springs | Clayton Offroad The bouncing or pogo stick like feeling you feel is probably due...

How short are your trips? How much idling are you doing? Diesels are extremely efficient when under load and moving. They're extremely inefficient when it comes to idling and running before getting up to operating temps. In my experience I only see 26+ MPG when on the highway driving for 2+...

But it does - I drive over 20K miles a year. My last jeep had 233K miles on it. I never owned a manual in my life. But I also didn't buy a $63K Jeep to "save" money so it's kind of a silly argument. If I needed to save money, I would have bought a Honda.

I don't have real world numbers for a gas gladiator (never owned one). I clearly stated this is my experience - feel free to substitute your own.

Seems like a lot of people are stating "facts" without actual numbers. So here is real world numbers based on my experience going from a 09 JKU to a JTRD. Below is based on current fuel prices at my closest station. You can figure it out if it's worth it for you or not. Again, this is based...

Not sure if they started the same, but the valving was updated for builds starting 2/15/22 so they were most certainly different at that point onward as a fix to the bottoming out issue. Your stock Rubicon diesel JT bottoming out? Here’s the fix!! | Jeep Gladiator (JT) News, Forum, Community -...

You need to pick up a set of detailing brushes. Also a life savor for cleaning around the emblem, door hinges, fender seams etc. or any other small hard to reach areas. Amazon.com: SPTA Just use an all-purpose cleaner/interior cleaner with them. I went down the auto detailing rabbit hole a...

I dropped some lock keys down the passenger side and they went right under the carpet where the one wiring loom passes through. My wife was able to get them from behind the seat by lifting the carpet up where it separates between the front and back pieces. You might try your luck with that...

No truer words have ever been spoken. It's almost nauseating how many people will tell you not to buy one but have zero firsthand experience. It's even worse if you join any of the Facebook groups. Their "experience" is basically limited to comments they read about the Gen 2 motor from 10 years...

The stock shocks are extremely soft and they last about 30k miles. I had my first set changed at 12k with stiffer ones to prevent bottoming out on my JTRD as part of the TSB. The stiffer shocks were noticeably better at first and there was no more rocking or bottoming out and my Jeep settled...

If your tires are binding while turning you have traction and no longer need 4wd. That binding you feel is horrible for your drivetrain and transfer case. Unless the roads are completely snow covered I don't use it at all.

The motor is perfectly fine. It uses a bed plate design and same block is used for boats. There is a guy using the same motor to deliver airstream trailers in a 1500 and has racked up over 400K on multiple motors. MR 506 SH3 - VM Motori

For those wanting to do your own service. You can setup your account online and log your own service records and the dealer can see them. You can also see dealer service records as well. Mopar Sign In | Official Mopar® Site I log all my info there and keep all receipts. I also take a picture...

I ordered mine from All mopar parts and you can put the VIN in to confirm. It seems the switch over was sometime during 2022 model year so it's not cut and dry 2022 or 2023. I have a 1/18/22 build date and it was the just a brass plug and I bought the old one. Cost me $60 for the heating element...

I'm a bigger fan of shorter intervals. Regardless of oil life your basically doubling the amount of soot in the engine unless it's deleted. I would rather not drive the additional 5K miles with heavy soot loads and a filter that is potentially already at capacity. For this I change mine at 5K...

I have a theory that the more laid-back angle of the glass is causing the leading edge to me more exposed and chips along the edge are causing cracks that appear to come out of nowhere. The bottom edge of the windshield is much more exposed than past generations of the wrangler that were more...

What was the temperature at the time of install? If you sanded and prepped with Acetone we can only infer that it was a temp issue. I've ran two sets of these now in my JK and JT for years without issue. I bought both sets years apart and they have the same amount of 3M VHT tape - there was no...
