  1. How long did your windshield last before cracking?

    13 months….maybe 13k miles…dealer is checking to see if gorilla glass warranty applies.
  2. Mpg's way off?

    A lot of gladiators see a slight increase in fuel economy right before they develop and engine tick, a roof leak, and a rear axle seal leak. I would keep an eye out for those.
  3. downsizing wheels

    My stock max tow gets 21-22 mpg highway on average according to the computer. Has been consistent for 15k miles. Goes down to 16ish in a headwind, as high as 24 with a tailwind…but averages 21 and change. This is relatively flat driving in Texas. I want bigger tires but a 3-4 mpg hit cuts my...
  4. Engine tick?

    Soooo. What did the dealer say?
  5. Engine tick?

    All these posts about engine ticking make me wonder what the hell a normal 3.6 improved Pentastar is supposed to sound like. Mine is noisy. I didn’t really think much of it until all these posts where people are getting open heart surgery on their engines.
  6. Does a inch make a difference?

    Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
  7. Waiting for the hatchet to fall ...............

    I just replaced the original battery in my wife’s 2014 enclave, 60k miles of mostly short trips to school, kid soccer games, grocery store etc. baked in north Texas summers and frozen in north Texas winters…and yet the interns jeep hired to design this system have succeeded in creating a system...
  8. Engine tick?

    Hypothetically, what’s the end result if you just keep driving it…assuming you take to a dealer and they say it sounds normal, then you drive it another 10k miles…at some point isn’t it going to become undeniable or you’ll get a check engine light and then they just have to give you a brand new...
  9. I believe I can fly...

    “But what mpg were they getting” lol
  10. 3.6 Cam Self destruction

    Soooo….trade these things in at the end of the powertrain warranty? Not much of a value proposition but likely a better deal than funding an engine tear down or swap.
  11. Bent Frame

    This thread had me going outside with a flashlight at 10 pm to look…2021 max tow gasser…no notch. October 21 build. Win? Was this some sort of stealth frame upgrade?
  12. Why does CarPlay / uconnect sound like shit?

    Streaming Spotify in my backyard right now thru a JBL extreme 2 Bluetooth speaker….sounds great….I guess I could just charge up the JBL and throw it in the back seat.
  13. Why does CarPlay / uconnect sound like shit?

    I doubt there’s much to hear on audiobooks other than spoken word…for me it started today…I was doing yard work, rocking out to ac/dc high voltage…and I smoked my 10 year old plug in leaf blower…so I headed to lowes to buy another Chinesium plug in leaf blower and I was like…let’s keep this...
  14. Why does CarPlay / uconnect sound like shit?

    iPhone. iOS 15.4.1 Bluetooth and plugged in both sound equally bad Sound check setting only applies to downloaded music…this is streaming…and sound check is off anyway. Spotify app and YouTube both sound bad so it’s not the Spotify app. I am totally fine with the way the system sounds with...
  15. Why does CarPlay / uconnect sound like shit?

    I have a 2021 sport s with the stock sound system which I am happy with…I’ve been listening to Sirius for the free 6 month trial…which is ending soon so I thought I’d start streaming with Spotify premium from my iPhone 13…and I noticed that the sound quality when playing from my phone sucks...
  16. Nobody waves anymore.

    I live I Dallas…jeeps…specifically wranglers… are ubiquitous here…lots of unmodded unlimiteds driven by soccer moms….lots of modded ones driven by teenagers. I wave at other gladiators…they all wave back. I wave at most wranglers too…maybe 50% wave back.
  17. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Bolted on some Rb20 running boards for the kids…I think I put them on the wrong side…apparently the fat end goes forward…not sure if it’s worth switching them.
  18. Looking for recommendations for a shop in DFW.

    Has anyone used Forest Lane CDJR for service or maintenance? I am at ~2800 miles and will probably do the first oil change at 3000ish.
  19. Is this what bad frame welds look like?

    That’s all fine and good…not looking for “patina” at 2 months though.
  20. Anyone in North Texas that will permit an order for a 2022 model without "hidden fees"?

    I live in Dallas…after trying to deal with 3 or 4 local dealers with experiences that ranged from meh to terrible I ordered from Guton and saved ~5k off sticker. Nobody in dfw would come close. Well worth the $200 flight, $50 Uber, and full day drive home.
