The article suggests that the cause of fire is the electric power steering system. I don't think that Jeep changed anything in the system over the years; I'd have to believe its applicable to all JLs and JTs.

In for updates on the new jeep, but also here to post a link to this article: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-opens-probe-into-more-than-781000-stellantis-vehicles-over-underhood-fires-2024-09-09/

Can you still get the tax credit if you LS-swap a Tesla?

It likely has super low gears; I test drove a 2000 F550 once, 55 mph was tops for speed

In Hooper.

On the way home from Seattle, I stopped at one super busy gas station. All the pumps were busy and cars were waiting in line. I looked carefully at the pumps and found a green pump unoccupied on the far side. Assuming it was a diesel pump, I drove around all the waiting cars and pulled in. I...

Yes - $439 ticket. Looked at some replacement options over the past couple weeks. Wife reiterated that I didn't need another project (I have too many already, and need to catch up). So we began looking at other Gladiators. Someone at church mentioned how well it protected me during the...

Old Gladiator is up on the Copart website: https://www.copart.com/lot/69483284/salvage-2020-jeep-gladiator-rubicon-ut-ogden A car dealership flew me up to Seattle on Thursday to check out another gladiator. I bought it and drove home Thur/Friday (I'll post more later). Here is the Copart Ad:

I'll see if I can get USAA to tell me how much. Its been towed to Copart in Ogden. The drivetrain should be perfectly fine since it took the hit square betwwen the passenger side doors. The axles, transfer case, etc. should be good. The dash showed a ton of fault messages including a "4x4"...

We got a good buy back figure. About 1K higher than my number thought it should be - will be going to look at another gladiator this week :D

I am hopeful that our insurance will not try to low ball us (too much) since the other driver is 100% at fault. I won't accept the first offer, but will counter with evidence and logic. I haven't found any gladiators with all the options ours has; low miles too at 42k (2020 model). We'll see.

Insurance has determined it a total loss. We stopped by the body shop yesterday that has the gladiator to pull the non-oem parts. We were able to get the Tazer, pedal commander and the tonneau cover. The body shop showed us how bad the frame is bent. Also, the tub is sitting about 2 inches...

Looks good. I actually have a set of Ford U-bolts in the garage. They were for my old SRW F350 (2000). Brand new with the stickers on them. Let me know if you want them. I'll be heading out of town tomorrow I was going to change the springs but never got to it before selling it. I'll go...

That is a nice design, I'd wear it!

SOLD

The ad says that the jeep is exempt from Utah emission testing. Is this a factory diesel, or someone making a wish? https://cars.ksl.com/listing/9445995

I've bought superduty u-bolts thru the Ford dealership before. They were good/competitive prices. I think it was Townsely (?) in Minnesota

Definitely get heat. I hooked the heat up to a switch on the dash.

I was broadsided on Riverdale road. I had a green light, lady in a Mercury grand marquis hit me on the passenger side; she ran the red light. She never hit the brakes, was going around 50 mph. None of the body panels fit correctly any more. Passenger side side air bag went off. Rear axle is...
