Introduction and question

[Dee]

New to forum. Have learned from all those that take the time to share experience and photos. Thank you. Question: I am going through check out online for renegade tonneau and there is the option of coupon code. How does one search for any active code or current discount? Was going to wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday to see if they offer any incentives, but the lead time of 6 months they might not need to offer anything. Again thank you to all those that contribute to the forum. New Jeep owners, like myself, really appreciate it.

Hey Dee, I'm new to the forums and Jeep's myself. Just got my Mojave 2 weeks ago. I created a post about best tonneau covers and I finally made a decision for my new truck. I'm not sure what type of cover you're looking for but I ended up ordering one from Realtruck. I don't see the brand you mentioned but they may have something you like. Amber that responded to my post gave me a very good deal. I got a Bak Flip MX4 that list for $1249.99 for only $1030 plus tax. Pretty good savings. Called yesterday and their email stated it shipped and should be delivered mid week. This may be a good option for you if there is something you're interested in purchasing. She also quoted me $50 off of Nerf Bars today if I decide to go that route. Just thought I would share my experience and good luck.

JCappy, thank you for replying and for the information. I think I need a spreadsheet! We purchased our very first Jeep and our first vehicle with a truck bed! (23 Rubicon Gladiator) Very excited. “Rubi” will be my daily driver. We travel quite a bit and look forward to packing with the use of our truck bed. On the tonneau wish list are: protection from rain, the capability of securing items on top without too much fuss, and not terribly heavy. We would consider mid to higher end price ranges if longevity is expected. I am not expecting 100 percent water protection but it is the top reason for us personally to have one. I will definitely reach out to your source. Thank you for the recommendation. Other than Rock Slide Engineering Steps and a tonneau cover I hope to keep her stock for a year to give ourselves time to see how to best use her. There is too much we need to learn. Thank goodness for this forum and for your reply.

You are more than welcome. I love my new 2023 Mojave and it will also be my daily driver. I'm new to the forum and Jeeps as well so this will be a learning experience as well. I did a bit of research before I got my tonneau and based on reviews and the discount I decided to give it a shot. Has a 5 year warranty as well. I have also been researching side steps but have not ordered anything yet. Don't think I need sliders and if I decide to go on any difficult offroad trails, I may just put the rock rails back on for the day. I also plan on getting a bed mat and some bedside molle panels. Good luck with your decisions and enjoy your new ride.

I feel as if I’m learning a new language: Molle, tonneau, sliders, nerf bar…

I have the BAK Revolver X4S on my Gladiator. It works with the trail rails. If you have trail rails in the bed of your truck, keep in mind that many tonneau covers will not fit with them installed.

She did come with trail rails. Adding that to list of questions for tomorrow. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the Mojave. You'll have loads of fun with it and get looks to boot!

Also, if you are happy with the factory rock sliders/rails and don't need steps, I found that the Weathertech splash guards are a great addition to cut down on the rock chips that may occur on your door hinges while driving. Even though they state Rubicon only on their website, the factory rails are the same. The molded fit is perfect and look good too. And they don't hang down too far like some other brands.

ZoMojave, I actually have the Rubicon. Mud flaps are on my wishlist. I had looked at the Mopar. Thank you for the link. A bed mat would also be nice to have. I went ahead and ordered these for rear passenger doors. I always travel with my two very ill behaved dogs.

Yes, you did. Those skins will come in handy for those four-legged passengers!

Not sure, but from what I remember the Mopar flaps will work for the rears but not the fronts with those rails. The Weathertech has molded in pockets that work perfect in conjunction with the rails.

Got it. My bad!

Definitely a recommendation for the Weathertech mudflaps. They keep the side of your Jeep clean and they will take severe abuse and hold up great. Dropped off a ledge a couple weeks ago hard right onto them figured I'd ripped them off but other than a scrape and rash they held up great. honestly if they tore off i'd buy them again.

Definitely more flexible than one would think. Great product.

 

[Dee]

I will definitely get those sooner rather than later. My other vehicle has reached 105k miles and looks quite nice for a 10 year old car. I’m sure I will get a few more years out of her.

I have a feeling that the Gladiator will be more of an adventure than a means of transportation. I live in North Georgia and there are many trails to explore nearby.
Thank you Scott L

I installed the guards on day one because of my traprock driveway here in the country and the BFG KO2 tires.

Also bought a tube of genuine Mopar touch up paint for the few times the rocks got past those flaps and dinged the hinges.
