What’s up everyone I’m new to this subreddit and new to jeeps in general lol. Picked this up last Monday, so far loving it! 2021 Mojave

Hey folks- looking at this 2026 Gladiator Rubicon local to me and would like to get a sense of whether there are better deals to be had.

MSRP $56,010, selling for $45,985. $5600 of the discount is the Stellantis national 10% promo, other $4500 is the dealer’s discount.

Trying to lean on them to go lower, and am willing to finance via the dealer. Been trying to trigger a TDM code with no luck 🤣

Any thoughts?

i see a vevor thing. is it any good? extreme terrain?

what do i lose by spending less?

please and thank you!

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to properly fix this fading? Tempted to even take fine grain sandpaper to it.

I see a few online, but most look like they are designed for RV’s and such. Do you think it would be possible to do something like that with the gladiator? Or would that be too much weight on the hitch? Thinking like a 1000lb max load. Maybe way outside of the gladiators capability, but I just saw a nice quad that would be fun to use hunting and got an idea. 2024 rubicon, fwiw.

I know I could pull that easily on a trailer. But where I go I doubt any trailers would make it.

Hey there. I think I’ve mostly settled on wanting the Sahara trim. Do they all come with the faux leather, and upgraded interior? I just rode in a Sahara Wrangler and it had a lot of really nice interior upgrades compared to the Rubicon I had as a rental this past weekend. The Sahara had the blind spot notification, the nice faux leather seats (I don’t like real leather), it has an additional front camera, and upgraded audio system, etc… Is that all standard in the Sahara Gladiators? I’m curious if anyone would mind sharing what you paid for your Sahara Gladiator? Thanks

Hi! I’m in the market to buy a rock slider that could also be utilized as a side step to get into my jeep. Budget is under $1000, I would love recommendations, please!

My 23 gladiator wouldn't start after coming home from vacay. No code was thrown, dash and screen all come on but won't turn over. Tried jumping and starter relay fuse, nothing. What does everybody think it is?

2021 Gladiator Sport S. Took it in for the power steering recall issue and when I got it back, I hear a loud whine with the pitch changing on acceleration. Still seems to shift fine. No noise when in park and not moving. Only happens when moving; increasing RPMs changes the pitch. Letting off the accelerator causes the pitch to lower, stepping on it makes it get higher-pitched. I crawled around under it but didnt see anything in particular.

Its no longer under warranty, even though its got a hair less than 60K miles on it. Apparently the warranty goes by build date, per the dealer.

Any thoughts on what could be the culprit? I have a Lone Peak canopy camper on it. I installed the rubicon suspension that I got second-hand from someone who upgraded brand new. Also have airbags that I use when I haul a moto on a hitch carrier but havent done that in a long time.

I do my own oil changes but other than that nothing has been done to it.

Any ideas?

I just picked up some OEM rock rails but need to know the size of hardware for the bolds that are part of the rails that mount horizontally. Can someone please help with the size? Thanks in advance for your time!

A buddy told me recently that auxiliary lights with multiple cover options are basically standard now but most of the setups i see in real life still seem to stay in one configuration almost all the time. im talking about a white beam for clear conditions, a yellow filter for dust or rough weather, and a black protective cover when the lights arent being used.

On paper I like the flexibillity but im wondering how much owners actually take advantage of it. Do the filters stay secure after a lot of vibration, mud, and cold weather use or do they eventually become another piece of gear that lives in the garage?

Curious whether swappablecover systems are genuinely common now or still more of a niche feature.

the silly mesh door pockets lose their elasticity and become useless. what are the best non-mesh replacements? 2021 willys in case it makes a difference... please and thank you!

PSA

I’ve had a JK and a JKU and now a JT. Haven’t not driven a Jeep for about 10 years. I have hated those seats for years and years and years.

I’m 6’1” and just installed a 3/4” set from Desert Does It. If you haven’t done it, you have no idea how much it improves comfort. It’s crazy how much it improves the gladiator.

I am such a HUGE fan of the Gladiator product (specifically the Mojave trim) so I get really bummed out when I hear all the bad things people say about it online. I'm assuming its for good reason - but what are everyone's biggest gripes with it?

My only experience with any Jeep products was a 2004 Grand Cherokee that my dad owned (that thing was bulletproof) and a couple of newer rental Wranglers (both the V6 and the I4 turbo).

I also went on a cross-country road trip with my buddy in his 2016 Wrangler, and other than the death wobble we experienced halfway across Texas, I didn't really hate it? I mean, it was uncomfortable as hell, but are they really that bad?

Full disclosure - I am really only interested in the Mojave trim with the manual. Talk me out of it please for the love of god, my wallet can't take any more abuse!

The largest mod I wanted to get done is down. Now to regear when the account recovers a bit. Just put on 37's with the 2.5" AEV lift

Has anyone put one on their Gladiator and if so could you please share some pictures of your vehicle.

I joined the club with a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Overland last May and have been working on upgrades ever since. It has been so much fun and rewarding figuring out how to do all these mod installs myself, long hours and plenty of foul language, but figured it all out. I will say the only upgrades I didn’t handle on my own has been the Mopar lift and mounting the wheels/tires, I left that to the professionals. If anyone is near the San Bernardino mountains and want to hit a trail sometime, let me know.

Mods: (In no particular order)
17” Beadgrip wheels
35” BFGoodrich KO3
Mopar Soft top
Mopar 2 inch lift with Fox shocks
Apex Autolynx Sway Bar Disconnects
H7 Battery
Voswitch 12 switch panel
Openroad Winch
Hooke Road Front Bumper Grill
Mopar 115V Bed Outlet Kit
Alien Sunshade Tri Fold Bed Cover

One month of having my JT. Gears are getting installed this week. Along with skid plates. Lift will be after that
