YouTube guy no good?

Good point! I saw this video recently and thought it was a pretty cool experiment:

Update after the second oil change was completed: Silicon level dropped from 114 to 41 (limit/base >30). Base Number: 6.37 (previously 7.27). First Oil Change: 4,000 miles (6,500 km) Second Oil Change: 4,000 miles (6,500 km) Interesting Note: I waited until the oil life monitor hit 50% for...

With the bed cover closed, which anchor points did you use for the straps?

So it sounds like there are two options for transporting the hard top: 1. Bottom of hard top sitting on bed floor, tabs resting on bed rail, as described by whiteglad. 2. Rear window resting on bed floor, tabs pointing upwards, shown in photos from NC_Overland. Are there any other methods?

I’m also interested to know what everyone is using to clean and protect their soft top?

With the recent announcement of the new Scrambler, anyone else thinking this quote was not referring to Gladiator? “We have another car that looks like a Wrangler that’s getting its manual back.”

Do they have three different part numbers? 82215992 Soft Top Kit is Black vinyl with non-tinted windows. Same as production. 82215614 Soft Top Kit is Black Premium Acrylic with tinted windows. Same as production. Also what’s more confusing is both part descriptions indicate: “The Soft Top...

How many different versions have there been for the Mopar factory soft top? I’ve seen mention of the rear window being tinted or not tinted, twill fabric option, and “premium” versions. Does anyone know the history?

Looks like they have three sizes: 6’ x 8’ 8’ x 10’ 10’ x 12’ I’m thinking the one in the photo might be 6’ x 8’. https://www.harborfreight.com/collections/canvas-tarps.html

Old post, but what are the dimensions of this tarp?

Any updates on this?

Interesting, does using 4L when reversing at slow speeds help reduce wear on the clutch?

What does it mean to dip one wheel on the shoulder? Haven’t heard that term before.

Glad to hear this, same experience here. Do you shift into 4L while the vehicle is moving, or while stopped in neutral? Also in 4L do you notice a change to the accelerator? Seems like more pedal input is required to get it moving compared to 2H/4H.

Correct. Previous vehicle was a Jeep Patriot with 2.4L, 4X4, and 5-speed manual. It had an electronically controlled automatic full-time 4X4 system, so the Gladiator is the first vehicle I’ve owned with a manual transfer case and part-time 4X4 system. What really surprised me was how different...

I used 4H and 4L for the first time today, 2024 Rubicon with 6MT. After driving 5,200 miles (8,400 km) using only 2H, this was the very first time the transfer case had been shifted into 4X4 (which I’ve now learned should be done more frequently). Visited a snow covered gravel parking lot...

A manual transmission with full-time 4x4 didn’t work for the Gladiator, but this spec does exist based on vehicles like the Subaru WRX and Volkswagen Golf R. With Stellantis discontinuing the Gladiator’s manual transmission, there was no reason to develop a full-time 4x4 transfer case to work...

Previous vehicles I’ve always waited for the engine idle to slow, and coolant temperature to start increasing. Gladiator is the first vehicle I’ve owned with two different warm idle speeds, and numeric readings for coolant and engine temperature instead of analog or digital gauges, same with...
