Soft top too noisy above 110mph

[CerOf]

The noise cancelling aspect of your fluxcapacitor must have failed; otherwise, it wouldn’t be too much louder than cruising at 75.

Mine used to make a terrifying noise at 110 until I left the road and hit a tree. Doesn’t do it anymore.

I think I fixed it. Just Kidding!

How many Gladiators have made it to 1955 and back? Just be careful, one bump of the control box and you'll end up in 1885.

1885 would be great -- nothing but off-road. (Great until your tank runs dry, that is.)

Hmmmm, I bet this person thought it was noisy at 110 too.

Don’t be dumb.

Did you drive your Jeep off a cliff to get to 110 mph?

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.

I can't hear a thing over the terrified screams of my passengers

STOP SCREAMING! I'm scared too.

So . . . Can I fit 110 MPH on my truck at stock height or do I need a lift?

Ive heard about this. It’s caused by a loose nut between the drivers seat and the steering wheel. I think theirs a TSB on it, if you take it to the dealership they with fit you for a sports car or a straight jacket depending on the severity

I love this truck, but it sure is noisy in the triple digits. I’m going to try some ideas to fix it this week, but if anybody has suggestions, I’m all ears.

This truck in triple digits? Wow, I don't think that's something I wanna try.

This thread is full of win.

Use this as inspiration. Not only will your wind noise be taken care of, it may even make any fuel leaks close up.

You know, this one was actually known as a flying brick—seems appropriate for our bricks-with-a-bed.

Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone else noticed a weird smell in their Gladiator when driving through the fourth dimension?

It’s sort of a sweet/acrid smell, like when a tesseract implodes or I try to remember my old AOL account password.

I don’t expect miracles from FCA, but when you make an off-road vehicle, you have to plan accordingly for the occasional departure from pavement to even the most basic non-Euclidean 4D trailhead.

I’ve got a few ideas on how to fix it. I’m looking forward to trying them last weekend and fortunately, they already did and did not work at the same time.

Very interesting that you ask? I thought it was just mine? Maybe we should ask Jeep cares for some support here.

I can only imagine how noisy the soft top must be. I have a hard top and anything over 70 is noisy

Its not that noisy I have driven mine 75-80 mph. Now if your in a crosswind or a bunch of 18 wheelers then your getting some fluttering and poping
