If you could get rid of one ownership headache, what would it be?

[BourbonRunner]

The insistence of Jeep (and so many others) to use cheap plastic parts in the cooling system. It isn't like pressure and extreme heat are bad for plastic...

It's a luxury shed. I would get rid of all tech. All of it.

I'm with you there. KISS go back about 20-25 years on electrical components in it. The back to a motor that doesn't take several hours and teardown to change spark plugs. Then while your doing the plugs replace 1/4 of the components since you are already there and need too.

I would say the bubbling paint that appeared 2 months after the 5 year warranty expired.

It has its problems but I can't think of a vehicle that will do what this truck can do. It fits my needs perfectly.

Can't argue with that. Guess it's part of the "box on wheels" experience.
Any tires or roof setups make a noticeable difference for you to at least help?

Hard top and armorlite flooring.

Dynamat the crap out of the doors, floors, and roof

I think this is my biggest annoyance.

All the other 'headaches' I can address myself without too much grief.

I'm no painter though. Luckily I have some warranty time left.

Loose wonky steering on my 2021! Still love the Jeep, but it could be so much better.

Are the 2025/26 still experiencing wandering steering?

Gladiators are superior, we all know that. But is there one thing for you that prevents it from being absolutely perfect?

Body - Noise canceling material and/or insulation in the hard top, firewall, and perhaps the floor would help reduce road noise and insulate the cab better. Maybe better door seals would help, too.

Powertrain - I have the EcoDiesel, so it would be nice not to have better engine cooling from the factory.

Overall, I have no major complaints, but those would be my top two changes.

How about a complete blanket of improved quality across the board, all without any price increases! Oil cooler replacement, lower intake replacement with aluminum. Shot peened valve train or something to completely eliminate premature ware. Have the vendors work towards quality with a stern control on pricing and bids. Jeep is a one of a kind unique product that has a priceless marketing tool in the brand itself. That’s on the verge of being ruined by an investment company looking more towards a bottom line, than anything related to quality! My dream is a group of proud American billionaires and trillionaire, that could easily buy out stillantis and re-invent a new AMC! The high enough price margins have been set. All would be forgiven in the name of high quality control.

I had loose / wonky steering when my drag link was going bad.

My '22 drives fine though

A sunroof! I have the sunrider for hardtop but it's just not the same. I had one in my '03 Liberty so I'm spoiled by that.
