  1. What's one thing every Jeep owner should keep in their vehicle at all times?

    Can't do just one. But in order of importance... 1) air compressor & tire repair kit 2) spare fuses. 3) 150' or more of recovery straps, shovel, axe, saw. 4) tall rubber boots 5) contractor grade trash bags Not going to list knife/gun since you should already carry those on you just about...
  2. Reverse camera license plate light bleed - my fix

    Agreed. One more area with lots of little holes that will get filled with dirt/mud.
  3. 392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

    2020 JTR w/3.6L & automatic transmission. ~68k miles with NO major issues yet. A few cheap minor repairs all performed by myself (sealing the rear window, replacing the cheap plastic sun visor supports, aux battery delete: all totalling just under $30). Running Milestar Patagonia XT...
  4. is running regular street tires against the rules in a gladiator?

    If you're not racking up 15-20k miles a year some of your tires will age out before you wear them out. Personally, I won't run tires older than 6 years old. They lose their resiliency, and become risky in the rain.
  5. PSI for Factory Falken Wildpeaks A/Ts?

    I ran 37 psi in mine. Got 65k miles out of them. 2020 JTR w/3.6L
  6. 392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

    Probably not more than ~2 mpg better, if that, BUT... it will run on standard 87 octane gas. No premium gasoline needed. To me, that is a HUGE draw.
  7. The true mindset of most Jeep owners

    For me, it's the smile it puts on my face every time I look at it. That goes for the past CJ5, CJ7's, TJ, LJ, JKU's, and current JTR I own. I did have a '92 CBR600F2, and a 2013 Mustang GT Convertible that I was pretty fond of for a few years each, but nothing quite makes me grin as much as...
  8. First 2026 Easter Jeep Safari Concepts Teaser

    Personally, I couldn't care any less about these "concept" builds. I can't buy it. I can't drive it. 99% of the time, they're a total dead end with ZERO production intent, so it might as well be a new Ferrari or a new School Bus for all I care. If it's not something close to an intended...
  9. Travel trailer towing with a 2026 Willys Gladiator

    EXACTLY right. The trailer brake controller not only increases your total braking power, but most importantly, if it's adjusted properly, tremendously increases the likelihood that you won't have a jack-knifing incident.
  10. How to spend $33K, kill two days, drive 1200 miles through 7 states and average 17MPG...

    I've got the premium leather seats in my JTR, and I think they're very comfortable. Regarding interior temps & noise, Hotheadz headliners will help tremendously. No matter HOW hot or cold it gets, fan speed #3-4 is plenty for maintenance temperatures.
  11. How Much Did You Spend on Your Gladiator Today?

    ~$42 in gas today, but ~$2k on new rims/tires a couple weeks ago.
  12. What's your first Jeep memories

    One of my FAVORITE movies.
  13. What's your first Jeep memories

    I had one of these! My 2nd Jeep... A blue '76 CJ7 with the Levi Blue Jean interior & 304V8. Bought it in ~'86 in near mint condition with ~50k miles for $5k. Sold it around the time we had our first kid ('94), and couldn't afford to get back into a Jeep until '99. Bought a '99 TJ then.
  14. What's your first Jeep memories

    During hunting season, riding with my Uncle in his (new to him at the time) '76 Tan color Golden Eagle CJ7 (304 V8 w/Headers & dual exhaust, ~3" lift, & 33"x12.5 Mud Tires) in ~'81. IIRC he had some sort of positraction/locker in the back axle at the least, limited slip in the front, and could...
  15. What’s With The Jeep Wave?

    Bought my first Jeep (CJ5) back in ~'84, and have been waving ever since. I wave at all Wranglers (CJ's, etc), Gladiators, and any built-looking Cherokee, GC, or Liberty. I *USUALLY* get a wave back if they're paying attention. If they don't, I don't take it personally.
  16. Opinion on trading 2022 JTR for 21 JTRD

    Just be sure to change it every ~5k miles. Do NOT run it to the 10k that the engine recommends.
  17. NEW: 2024+ JL / JT Pre-Runner Style LED Grille Light Kit (Pre-Order Live)

    Yes. I looked at those, BUT, (evenly spaced like in the pic) they conflict with the factory front camera placement, so either that kit needs another light to change the spacing to the same as the 2024+ model, or those of us with the factory front camera can only use two of the lights without it...
  18. Opinion on trading 2022 JTR for 21 JTRD

    Ran my (stock) set of Falken Wildpeak AT's at 37psi. Got 65k out of that set. Rode a little harshly, but not terrible. Just swapped to Milestar Patagonia XT's (35"x12.5"R17) but have not re-geared yet. Running them @ 37psi also. Definitely a better ride than either the Falkens, or the...
