Opposite of Disappointed

I love this truck more every day, even with the suspension bottoming out occasionally… 26 mpg at 85-90 all day long. I’ve had a lot of cool/fun vehicles(Baja bugs, dune buggy, VW 181, Opel GT, Triumph, Murdered Bronco Rally Nova…) and this gets the most attention by far

Is your HA a diesel? I been driving my 3.6 HA with no suspension issues for four months now...

You can tell it is a Diesel just by the Tach. The 3.6 wouldn't redline at 4,500RPMs, hell does it even develop full power by 4,500RPMs?

Yes, it does, 4000 rpm actually (in a jealous/envious tone) sigh

I love my 3.0 EcoD - but average 22 around town/mix driving.

I love mine...

Yup, the "diesel performance option" is an awesome upgrade over the available gas engine. Then for about $800, ya can have an extra 50+ hp and 70+ lb-ft torque using the Banks Derringer tuner.

I'm averaging around 24 mpg and lovin' it. I installed the teraflex bump (jounce) stops, and they have made the occasional bottoming out far better. You get a squish instead of a thump.

How do you like that RR bumper? That matched set is in my not too distant future

I plan on waiting for GDE to complete their tune before making a decision on which one to purchase

I like the profile of it and install was fairly straight forward. I will say, the paint quality isn't the best. So I coated it before install. I had to trim my disconnect skid plate in a 4 spots, fairly minor though.

Okay if this is weird, a thread where nobody is bashing their gladiator and the diesel..... Am I still in the right place?


I Love my JTRD!

 

[IOS-XR]

Love mine too! It is smooth and fast.

I just picked mine up and I'm in love. It just pulls and pulls, even when you only use half throttle. I would never trade it for a 3.6L

I picked mine up yesterday. The torque is phenomenal. I'm very happy coming from a ZHP and Tacoma X-Runner, both manuals and sold for Gladiator.

No regrets.
