$70k Limited Gladiator!

Mopar’s Special-Edition Jeep Gladiator Pickup? 

A Mopar customized Gladiator pickup using a factory catalog PLUS a wad of sweaty money is all you need to own one!

Since 2010 Stellantis parts, known as Mopar has released a special limited Gladiator edition.  A custom 2024 Jeep Gladiator pickup.  Featuring some of the optional Jeep and Mopar items from Mopar.

You can own 1 of the total 250 of these and it’s even marked as to which one of the 250 you have!

The 2024 Mopar Jeep starts with the Rubicon trim of the Gladiator pickup, which comes with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 good for 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, linked to a six-speed manual transmission as standard. The standard Gladiator Rubicon starts at $58,825, and Mopar’s custom truck, optioned closer to the Rubicon X which starts at $65,285, will cost more than either—setting you back a stiff $72,190 to start.

Mopar heavy-duty rock rails with step assist, a triple-hoop grille guard, a three-piece and body-color hardtop, a tri-fold hard tonneau cover, spray-on bedliner, front and rear grab handles, and custom Mopar badging and trail graphics, like on the tailgate. Inside, the 2024 Mopar Gladiator features a custom headliner, black trim, and all-weather floor mats. You also get black-painted 17-inch wheels wearing all-terrain tires. While not included in the price, Mopar also encourages owners to explore the optional $2,095 two-inch lift kit and the $1,545 tube door option, since why not try and reach for an eighty grand MSRP?

Owners can also expect a Mopar kit that features a personalized certificate of authenticity with the serialized vehicle-build number, as well as a digital rendering of their vehicle, and a gifted 83-piece JPP reusable tool kit that’s expandable for custom or additional tools as well that’s seemingly valued at around $540. The ’24 Mopar Jeep should be in select dealerships this month.

Stellantis recalls 1.16 million vehicles over rearview camera issue

Chrysler parent Stellantis is recalling 1.16 million vehicles in North America over a problem with software that is preventing rearview cameras from displaying, raising the risk of a crash.

The over-the-air software update recall includes 2021-2022 Dodge Durango, 2021-2023 Chrysler Pacifica, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2022 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 2022-2023 Jeep Compass, Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Ram Promaster vehicles and covers 1.033 million vehicles in the United States and 126,000 in Canada.

The vehicles’ radio software may be preventing rear-view images from displaying.

Jeep Talk Show Gladiator Update

Last week I spoke about not getting overly excited about buying mods for your Gladiator just because you picked a good one.

I think it’s like winning a big hand in poker and you just have to keep going while you’re hot!

Lost house, family, and underwear later, well I digress.

With that in mind, I’ve been looking at additional protection by adding more skids!

Now you may say, WHY?!?!?! The Motobilt skid system covers at least 85% of everything under the Gladiator, well what about the lower control arms?  Where they mount to the frame.

I think I have found good bolt-on front and rear lower control arm skid plates.

$279.95 buys you ¼” thick steel, black powder coat finish.

While I was on the site I noticed they have these skids for the TJ/LJ, XJ, JK, and of course the JL.

¼” steel, which should keep from bending over those lower control arm ears.  I’ve already done some damage to my lower control arm rear passenger.

You’re never done with the modifications, and that can be frustrating and fun at the same time.

What do you think are good LCA skids?  What about weld-on vs bolt-on?
