  1. PCOs from Jeep, check your email

    I got an email from Jeep for $1750 in private cash offer on most any 2022 Jeep and several 2023 Jeeps including the Wrangler (but only 2022 for Gladiator). I've already bought a Power Wagon so they were a few weeks and few dollars short, but if you're in the market make sure you're checking...
  2. Gupton Motors up to 8% below invoice

    Granger, though they are backed up on Broncos and not taking new orders. Raptors are at sticker. Chapman Ford of Horsham (there's more than one Chapman, make sure it's in PA) I *think* Laura Ford still does.
  3. Suggestions for temporary hood protection

    No personal experience, but my searches lead me to this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072B9KRGS/ Per reviews, it works as advertised unless you get caught in a heavy rain or you have ceramic coating on your vehicle. I was looking for a way to keep branch scratches off the sides of the vehicle...
  4. Harsh Summers or Harsh winters?

    I lived in the Middle East for a couple of years. I vastly prefer rough winters over rough summers. Heat, there's just no escape from, and heat with humidity sucks. Winter is just more clothes unless it's icey. Ice sucks.
  5. Longest road trip you've taken in your Gladiator?

    I've been looking at larger gas tanks to extend the range. I'm so used to 500+ miles between fuel stops I think that 22 gallon tank is going to be an irritant/limit. There are options, but man are they high dollar. I'm actually a bit suprised there isn't an OEM optional larger tank given the...
  6. Longest road trip you've taken in your Gladiator?

    That would sort of defeat the purpose though. The goal is to take long trips and be able to do moderate off-road trails/service roads during the trip. Else I'd buy something less of a compromise for on road use, like a Cayenne or similar.
  7. Longest road trip you've taken in your Gladiator?

    Thanks! I looked around a bit but didn't see that thread.
  8. Longest road trip you've taken in your Gladiator?

    My current truck is also a Ram 1500. It's like driving a sofa down the road. I don't expect the Gladiator to match it. I've driven 3/4 ton trucks long distances before and a stiffer ride is ok with me, I just want the seat to not wear my butt out, and to not have to constantly fight the...
  9. Longest road trip you've taken in your Gladiator?

    Just curious, what's the longest you've driven in one day and in one overall trip? Did you find the Gladitor fatiguing on a longer highway trip? I got my quotes on a Rubicon and a Mojave and am just wavering on the Gladiator vs a few other options I also liked for different reasons.
  10. Home wifi help, complete non Jeep question?

    20g is a solid choice. If you didn't buy a youth model, you may want to take a look at a youth stock. It will reduce the total length, length of pull, and make it easier for her to handle and balance. #1 and up buckshot works a treat for putting bad guys' dicks in the dirt. Do not use bird...
  11. Jeeeep?

    Well...that's different.
  12. Home wifi help, complete non Jeep question?

    With modern bullet construction, ammunition selection matters more than anything once you're in the common duty cartridges. .45 Auto works well with proper bullet selection, but so does 9mm, .40S&W, .357 Magnum, etc. All excel in certain contexts and lack in others.
  13. Home wifi help, complete non Jeep question?

    Silver tip does not perform well in lightweight bullets. It works reasonably well in mid-weight and higher bullets. It's a reasonable choice for heavy .357 Magnum or .45 Colt loads, it's a poor choice for a 115gr 9mm. Penetration is lacking and it performs poorly in bone strikes. I have seen...
  14. How much variability in steering wander from Jeep to Jeep

    We don't do 'decent roads' here. Only various states of disrepair. It makes owning a sportscar or motocycle much less enjoyable. I'm just glad 4x4s have auto locking hubs now so I don't have to get out and tie up traffic to lock them in to crawl back out of a pot hole.
  15. How much variability in steering wander from Jeep to Jeep

    Sounds like the consensus was it was just this particular Jeep, then. I'll find another to drive.
  16. How much variability in steering wander from Jeep to Jeep

    I've test driven 3 Gladiators so far. The Sport, the Mojave, and the Rubicon. The Sport and Mojave drove pretty well for what I expect a solid front axle to drive like. The Rubicon was nervous and constantly required minor steering input. Is this endemic to the Rubicon over the other trims...
  17. Just another straw to add on Ford's back...

    Ha, it's just a goof from a character I wrote once. I used to write non-fiction in my area of expertise for a side income with some success in online and traditional print, but only did fiction as a hobby. It's an odd time as it's easier than ever to get published, but that means everyone is...
  18. Just another straw to add on Ford's back...

    I test drove one before we knew they would be so hard to get. The draw for me was power levels and interior comfort. The ecoboost pulls strong, and has an aftermarket that can make it nuts. The seats in the trim I drove were awesome. I could easily see a 15 hour day driving it without...
  19. I guess I'd be in trouble there.

    TLDR: Clickbait article misreading an old statute. It is not illegal to do any repairs on your own vehicles inside your own garage in Sacramento. Longer version: Reading the original and full text, that the code is for commercial use. I think perhaps the article is being a bit...
