Just so you know.... every issue that you will ever read about with the Gladiators also happens to other vehicles from other manufacturers as well. But when you're only concerned with the vehicles that you own, that's mostly what you will hear/read about.
Then consider the odds..........events vs units sold.

And yet weren't these while sitting, off? There's no draw to create heat unless you have it running and are steering. Electrical fires are caused by high draw across a connection with resistance. If it was the end, it should happen while driving or within moments of shutdown.
To my knowledge, they’re not fused. So heat damages large positive and negative wires and blammo. But I don’t understand either why it’s after it’s been sitting. I still want it gone.

Yeah, they are.
Oops, he beat me to it. That high current fuse array.
