  1. Is it the glass... or the windshield angle?

    I'm voting angle. I've been driving various cars, trucks and SUVs for 50+ years. Never had a cracked windshield before, but within a year replaced the windshields on the Jeep and our 2022 Class B that's based on a Ford Transit. Aerodynamically, two bricks!!
  2. How reliable is the tech on your Gladiator

    24 Mojave X, and the tech has been great. Wireless Carplay is a bonus for sure. After a couple years, about the only thing I have had to do twice was a soft-reset. In one case this was after a software update, and not sure why I needed to in the second case. The soft-reset is easy and no...
  3. Would you want a powered sliding rear window?

    Not really. Had one on our F150 and never used it. I would actually prefer a solid rear window if I had the choice.
  4. Bottle opener

    I always found this style to be a little ironic--open your beer and defeat your safety belt at the same time . . .
  5. Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

    It will be interesting to see a description of the inspection they plan. Especially if only a very small percentage actually need repair parts. (Hopefully dealers will only fix those that need fixing, and not just see this as a way to bring in a little extra repair money from corporate.)
  6. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Ridding the world of Buckthorn, one cut-and-dab at a time!
  7. GOBI paint match 392 wheels + 35s

    Looks super!
  8. Warranty claims and the drama that follows...

    So far so good on my JT. But looking at some of the repair threads here, both body and drivetrain, makes me think it's less stress to just trade at the first sign of a major problem. Just kidding. Kind of. Best of luck with your repair!
  9. Door seals

    Thanks for the link, this looks really interesting! Clearly they put a lot of thought into the design. Just interested--you mention the Freedom Panels; what did you use for those? I did not see a mention on the jeepleakfixed website.
  10. Lets See Your Other Rides!!

    I traded my C7 Vette on the Jeep. Between short season, bad roads, etc the Vette ended up being a garage queen. The Jeep is a blast in all weather! That being said, we have a couple other options in the garage: A 2015 RX350 that has been trouble free for 100K miles, but does have a scratch...
  11. Does Jeep purposely design their vehicles to get 19 mpg?

    My stock 2024 Mojave has a long term average of 16.9. Drops a lot if I am hitting 75 on the freeway. No complaints, however. Funny, the car I traded for the Jeep had a V8 with 455 HP, and averaged about 22 MPG. I guess aerodynamics matter . . .
  12. So, why do Jeep plastics fade so quickly?

    I bought this soap for a completely unrelated reason--I wanted a smaller bottle to take along on a trip. Worked fine as a soap, but I was really surprised how it renewed the black plastic on our vehicles. I have dedicated solutions for this, but the soap works amazingly well.
  13. Gladiators show me your wheels !

    After looking at a LOT of wheels and specs I went with KMC Canyon wheels. The wheels are 17x8, with an offset of 35mm for a backspace of 5.88. This is really close to the stock Mojave, so no problems at all with fit. I wanted to minimize poke too, as we have messy winters up here and I didn't...
  14. Fog Lights Don't Work

    Don't feel bad. I had a car with rear fog light too. Took it in to the dealer because one was not working. Turns out that on some European cars there is only one rear fog light on the drivers side. Felt a little silly, but at least they did not charge me anything!
  15. RAVE REVIEWS ON OUR REAR BUMPER LED REVERSE LIGHTS FOR JEEP GLADIATOR JT

    That's a great idea! How did you wire this so that you can use either aux switch or the standard reverse light?
  16. question on mods . new mojave owner

    My first improvement was free--I took out that odd center headrest on the back set. Also I second the addition of an adjustable steering stabilizer--I went with the FOX 2.0 FACTORY SERIES ATS. And, as mentioned above, the Bestop Sunrider is a great addition. More recently I added the...
  17. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    An unusual 78 degrees here in MN. Annual right of spring . . . Changed over to the Bestop Sunrider and my summer (smaller) mudflaps.
  18. Rewind Special Edition Jeep Gladiator Launched. Ordering Begins Next Month

    Reminds me of this photo on the Jeep poster in my garage.
  19. What’s worn out faster than you expected?

    First on the Jeep. (But just replaced another on our Class B. Based on a Ford Transit van, it has the similar brick-like aerodynamics . . .)
  20. What’s worn out faster than you expected?

    Windshield too. I made it 50 years of driving without a broken windshield, and my JT made it about 8 months . . .
