  1. Is this amount of rust normal for only a few days of rain?

    I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It is absolutely annoying though. I was very disappointing to see this after a few months myself on my own gladiator. Not to mention that there is also going to be rust on the robotic welds in several locations on the frame. I’ve brushed and painted a few...
  2. Is this amount of rust behind the wheel normal?

    Looks normal, as already stated. I would probably paint the face of the hub area of the rotors, just as you did. I would recommend putting anti-seize compound on the torx screw that holds the rotors to the hubs too.

    Yes, indeed. A 3/8” ratchet, 10 mm socket, 13 mm socket, good lighting, new battery and a cup of coffee; on a Saturday morning. Not much easier than that. Thanks your help. Most appreciated.

    I went to Walmart this past weekend and bought an Everlast AGM Platinum H7 battery and replaced the main battery, the Aux battery, I had replaced back in December 2024. There were absolutely no problems with installing it and the battery size was exactly the same as the Mopar battery. The felt...
  5. If you were in Jeep Management, what changes would you make to the Gladiator?

    I see many want to see more torque and horsepower. I certainly agree with that. While I see many want to bring back the 5.7 liter V8 to accomplish that, I don’t believe that is the best way to go. The regulations on gasoline powered vehicles has created many new restrictions and challenges. I...

    Fun stuff is what Jeeps are all about, IMO. Have good batteries in your Jeep and have fun!

    Excellent choice, almost forgot about Autozone. Spending too much time at Walmart, buying oil, filters, gear oil and detailing stuff.

    I heard that. Same with Odyssey. Not really looking to spend over $200.00 for a battery, looking at an Everstart AGM Platinum H7, although the spec calls for an H6 , if I have that right.

    5 years is a good run with a battery. Nothing to really be disappointed about with that. I had a lot of trouble with Diehard Batteries 15 years ago. Caused a lot of trouble back then. I am not too surprised that the replacement guarantees are a much shorter duration of time than they used to be...

    I really believe Jeep should replace battery without any cost to me. I much rather replace it myself, because I would outright refuse to pay $250 for labor to replace a battery on a vehicle with less than 3000 miles plus covered by a 3 year/ 36000 warranty. Thank you very much for sending this...

    Perhaps there is some sort or switch that needs to be awakened, in the shift control; to confirm the vehicle is parked, before it is started. I will give it a try. Thank you.

    Sounds like a good idea. I am moving to replace the primary battery. Thanks.

    Thank you for the reply. I will go ahead and replace the main battery. I didn’t see anything physically wrong with the fuse array. Although I do not understand what the purpose of leaving a nut off one of the bolts serves, as you can see in the attached photo. Perhaps there is a reason for this...

    Thanks for the reply. I would say no, because everything is “automatic” which can means any number of things. I will definitely get a separate load tester and give it a go. Much appreciated.

    The main battery was tested as far as it can be with a $40.00 charger purchased on Amazon and checks out OK with that. I purchased the JT on July 31, 2024 and the build tag shows 6-24. It must have been sitting for an about a month, as far as I can tell.
  16. 2024 Jeep Gladiator Nighthawk, No Crank, No Start

    Hello, I purchased a 2024 Jeep Gladiator Nighthawk, back in July 2024. It had been performing well, but there is a re-occurring issue with getting it to start after it sits for 10 to 14 days. All the lights and accessories work. No MILs on the dash. Both batteries seem to be fully charged. I...
