  1. Interior Roof Storage Options?

    I have this same cargo net over the back seat... I call it the attic. Day to day, I keep a sleeping bag-size stuffsack on each side (one for me, one for the wife), with a raincoat, down puffer, hat, and gloves for each of us. There's enough room between for another stuffsack, but I use a bungee...
  2. Weather alerts are useless

    I don't subscribe to any Sirius or UConnect services, and as other posters mentioned, I get alerts when my phone isn't on or plugged in.
  3. Weather alerts are useless

    I honestly don't mind those. They are at least relevant to my life and give me a chance to move over for the stopped vehicle. I really don't care if there's a high wind advisory 90 minutes away though.
  4. Weather alerts are useless

    I have a 2022 JTR with the 8.4" UConnect infotainment system. This time of year, I get some sort of weather alert almost every time I drive it. The weather alerts are always for Franklin County, which is approximately 80 miles from where I live in Boston/Suffolk County, Mass. Sometimes I see...

    Got any good Connecticut trails we can explore?
  6. Opinion: Jeep Made A Massive Mistake By Giving Up On The Gladiator 4xe

    That's clearly what BMW was doing, and probably what other manufacturers are still doing. All buyers pay for the seat heater hardware. A select few pay a subscription to switch on the software toggle that lets them use it.
  7. Opinion: Jeep Made A Massive Mistake By Giving Up On The Gladiator 4xe

    BMW's Heated Seat Subscription Is Dead; Others Live On The heated seat subscription was reportedly going to cost buyers $18 a month, but Nota told Autocar that BMW buyers “feel that they paid double” for the feature before insisting that isn’t true. However, he acknowledged that “perception is...
  8. Opinion: Jeep Made A Massive Mistake By Giving Up On The Gladiator 4xe

    Same here. That's why I was hoping my next JT would be a hybrid. I drive a stock height Rubicon with 35" ATs (significantly lighter wheel/tire combo than stock), a bed rack, a stubby bumper, and no other mods that should really affect fuel economy. I rarely get cumulative mpg over 14. I grew...
  9. Opinion: Jeep Made A Massive Mistake By Giving Up On The Gladiator 4xe

    I like the 4xe, and I've never owned one. Been wheeling with a couple of guys who had 4xe JLUs, and they were happy. My cousin has one as a summer fun car (must be nice) and he loves it. 15mpg is better than I average with the 3.6 JTR when all I'm hauling is myself and my dog.
  10. Jeeps Parking Next To Jeeps

    Somebody I work with has good taste.
  11. Opinion: Jeep Made A Massive Mistake By Giving Up On The Gladiator 4xe

    This is exactly what I was looking forward to with my next Gladiator 4xe. Maybe Stellantis (or whoever owns Jeep by then) will dust off the 4xe plans when CAFE penalties go back into effect.
  12. Opinion: Jeep Made A Massive Mistake By Giving Up On The Gladiator 4xe

    I have given serious thought to trying to make some sort of removable fairing out of Bondo and wire mesh to close out the front fenders, but my biggest problem is low speeds. My commute is almost all stop and go driving on local roads. When take a long road trip on the highway, I can get the...
  13. Opinion: Jeep Made A Massive Mistake By Giving Up On The Gladiator 4xe

    I don't agree with everything in this article about how the JT stacks up to other midsize pickups, but I do think it was a mistake to cut the 4xe option. In 2025, it is hard to live with 13-14 mpg from a daily driver, no matter how fun it is on the weekend. I'll drive the wheels off my...

    Welcome to the forum. My name is also Jacob, but I go by Jake. Lots of good information and inspiration on here, and it's always fun to see pics of everybody's trucks and projects.
  15. What’s your #1 must-have light for trail rides?

    If I'm not first in line on a trail ride, I go with parking lights, factory fogs, and my ditch lights. The ditch lights give me situational awareness, the fogs shed enough light on the obstacle between me and the Jeep ahead, and I don't blind everybody in front of me with my LED headlights or...

    When are you installing the leaf springs?
  17. Cool Daily Random JT Gladiator Pics -- Post Em! 📸

    A couple of random shots from a recent trip to WV. Looking down from Olson Tower: Exploring a public road:
  18. Badland Apex 12,000 lb. Winch installed

    Yeah, it looks like they're gone. That sucks, it was a small business that seemed worth supporting.
  19. Badland Apex 12,000 lb. Winch installed

    I will plug the disconnect mounting plate from Center AK (thread). $29 and I received mine two days after placing my order.
