I have a 22 Rubicon ecodiesel JT and Its the best truck I've ever owned!!!!!

With additional incentives, I got a $60k new 2024 Gladiator Rubicon in Anvil for $38k +tax/tags. We just brought her home 2 hours ago. The deals are out there, but the vehicles are flying off the lot.

I have been in occasional situations while showing a gun, or when others are in the room, when I will turn the gun away from others while checking/double checking a gun that I am certain is empty is actually empty. So, while checking I make sure to never point it where harm can happen. I always treat a firearm as if it is loaded. After all, our brains do not always function at our peak. Good habits prevent bad things from happening. I don't know how many times I have told others, especially beginners, to NEVER point a gun at anything you don't want to harm or kill...even when you think it is empty. I have seen that too often. It amazes me how there is always someone who doesn't use/have common sense. Where the gun is pointing is the first rule I point out...even before checking to see if it loaded. Excellent video.

Wind noise?

nice content

this makes me want to buy a '25 Chevy 1500 ZR2 3L diesel even more that get 30mpg, around me there are no dealers at $20k off on Jeep Gladiator Rubicons

Im curious how much add ons you paid? Dealers are getting credit for the 20% discounts from the manufacturer and then they do something like $5000 discount but then add $3000 with add ons and those are literally 300% profit. Im working a deal on a gladiator X stuckered at $68k for $46k but they wanna add $3000 with add ons. I walked.

I love my 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. I've been averaging 18 to 20 mpg on the highway.

I’m just under 40k miles on my 2021 Gladiator Rubicon. My average mileage over the past nearly 4 years is 18.6. My best mileage ever was 27.7. I generally average just under 21 driving from Dayton, Ohio to Orlando, Florida. This is almost 5mpg better than my 2007 Dodge Dakota. This Jeep is amazing.

I’ve heard of guys always disabling the start stop system. Keeps the secondary battery from going dead.

It also comes with highway wind noise that is not pleasant at all

My wife loves the accents but looking for 380 caliber. Let’s see if it ever gets approved in California. Love your channel and content. Wish I lived closer to your store. Keep up the videos!!

Wow it is rare to see a satisfied customer after buying a car lol

11:25 "shit". I know that feeling

I have an ca xmacro and swapped the grip module for a mischief machine commander series grip module. Oh my goodness. With an all metal frame and the ported/comped slide, my dot returns to zero so fast.

Try this on a factory Jeep gladiator Willy’s factory tires and was still getting 14 mpg there’s only 1200 miles so no maintenance needed

My buddy has an X5 and with the 12 pound spring it only likes to be fired fast. If you fire slowly the slide locks up a bit and you have to tap the ass end of the slide.

Just got a '24 Mojave. Love it so far. I had negative equity in my Wrangler and it actually stalled at the wrong dealership. They had to tow it to the one that had the Gladiator I wanted. They gave me $6K more than Carvana/CarMax offered which covered my Jeep. So I got a $70K truck for with a cheaper payment than I had previously.

I think more and more gun companies realize this may be the way of the future. Being a Californian, I love it.

Hey Todd i love your show, great subjects great tips and what i like the most is keeping us poor Californians up to date to what’s going on, keep up the good work 👍

Sadly they included a Vaultek for it that doesn't have a biometric sensor. How cheap is that! The gun is excellent, but it cheapens the whole thing to include a non-bio Vaultek box.... :-(

What are you hearing about the Echelon?

I have a 2023 GMC Canyon and I personally love it for the most part. Nothing is perfect of course there's always things I'd prefer to be different or improved, but for my needs it works great. The backseat is small, but I did a rear seat delete and installed a goose gear system so I can tie things down and still have more storage than oem, but all that being said I have no kids or really anyone riding with me in my truck 95% of the time. I was actually looking to install the tailgate storage insert as my elevation doesn't come with one, thanks for letting me know it's not weather sealed! Do what works for you! The new truck looks great!

If you guys don't mind me asking. What exactly is the difference between a California compliant? Say sig 320 or whatever you have here and a version that will go to say Arkansas. Sometimes you try to reset too fast. And you come out the trigger. Does it have a certain rate of fire? I don't understand I've seen some differences with the A. Rs, but I don't understand with the pistol. This would seem more dangerous if it takes longer to fire a follow app around or a double or triple tath to down someone because, as they're closing in on you. And you need to close the gap. If that's what it is that would suck because you would be running backwards. In between shots, this is b******* All countries, I mean, all states and cities need to stand together and file a nationli. Class suit against the Supreme Court to get our rights back to every state. The way they should be. Shoot safe guys great looking gun

Man, I'm so sick of seeing people across the country trash, California. Because they're strict laws. Little. Do they know it's happening everywhere or maybe we'll loosen up with Trump. Hopefully or definitely, instead of helping people and answer questions. They trash them. I'm glad that you guys are getting more stuff. I'm in Maryland which makes no sense. We can own a lot of guns. We just can't have overt round mags. We can buy ourselves but it's legal to go. Go to Pennsylvania or Virginia to buy them, bring them back and use. As many as we want? To 10 round magazine band all they did was screw us up on what different guns we can purchase. That's it. Don't follow. Sorry, your whole state. That is pretty much the whole Eastern. I mean, whole West Coast. North and south has to suffer because of a few bad cities and like every state and city ignorant felon, animal criminals shoot safe guys, great video

Do they have locking rear and front diffs. Thanks

The Gladiator is an amazing vehicle!

What do you mean they don't look the same, I haven't seen the same two things as any other cigar all different customized personalized. FCU is 320.

Many off-road drivers don’t want the painted fenders and top. They scratch easy and are more expensive to fix/repair.

Been thinking of getting a 4x4 SUV or truck. Can you seat 5 in the Gladiator? What dealership did you visit and was this Gladiator the only one with the great deal? Congratulations on your new purchase. I love my adaptive cruise on my 2011 Chysler 300.

Wow, Looking at the window sticker 4:10 Rear axle. And reliability and longevity wise, the Pentastar V-6 REGULAR, PORTED FUEL INJECTION is a true and tried motor. I would not even try the F series Ecoboost v-6 TURBO, Direct injected. Drivetrain wise, this setup was a great choice. And you can always "Cap" the bed for a Sahara look...❤

I agree with the many points you are making with one caveat......I too am looking for a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, however I will not be keeping it past the manufactures warranty because of the massive paint corrosion problem on all Jeep JL Gladiators & Wranglers is extremely concerning for anyone that plans to own their Jeep past the warranty. I have done extensive research on this issue, Jeep has known about the problem but did nothing until late 2023, their solution was a zinc shim they call " sacrificial " which means the shim is designed to corrode before it transfers to the paint. The problem is the paint has been corroding in other areas of door panels, hood and tailgate, water seems to be getting into the seams at the edges of these panels, when this happens and the corrosion starts the panel has to be completely replaced because you cant remove the corrosive material inside the seam of the panel, it's a cancer that will eventually come back and destroy any fresh repaint job. It is "believed" Jeep is using a lower quality grade of recycled aluminum for the manufacturing of their panels, in the airline industry they use a much higher quality formula of aluminum with corrosion mitigating properties so they don't have to deal with paint corrosion problems on aircraft. Under Jeeps latest service bulletin It's unclear if Jeep has changed their aluminum formula, updated their paint prepping process or has done anything to stop water ingress into the seams of the panels.....So far Jeeps solution is to warranty the problem by replacing all the panels and a repaint, this would cost thousands of dollars to have done if out of warranty and is probably why Jeep Wrangler Rubicons are way overpriced today!

Just this past Saturday, I took delivery of a '24 Mojave X 6 speed. 20% off MSRP = $13,200, plus another 5K off from the dealer. I believe the 20% discount only applies to Rubicon and Mojave models, but i could be wrong.

Let’s not say a false truth now. I also have a Jeep gladiator and it is very noisy on the highway. Will this make me get rid of my car absolutely. It’s the most unique pick up truck money can buy. So I will deal with the noise.

In the last year and a half, I have owned a 23 Silverado LTZ 4x4 with the 3.0, transmission had issues at 40k among other annoying issues, a 23 Gladiator Rubicon manual, loved the vehicle but the gearing in the transmission was terrible so i traded it in for a 24 GMC Sierra with the 5.3. I only had the Sierra for 5k miles as I hated the seating position and quickly realized I much prefer the size and offroad capability of a midsized truck. Went back with a 24 Gladiator X just like yours with the automatic transmission. Its incredible, I test drove every midsized out right now, nothing is as good in my opinion for many reasons. Congrats and great video.

The GMC is in my opinion a better looking truck and has a nicer interior, but in the end I bought a 2024 Frontier Pro 4X full load (same colour). I just simply prefer a na V6 over a turbo and am convinced the reliability of the Frontier will win the day.

Better than a Toyota... The resale value proves that 🤣😂😅🤣😂🤣 Get you a Jeep and find out

Curious if youve driven a Mohave?

Nice mall crawler

great info! Congratulations!

Dealers need to move all 2024 vehicles. 2025 pricing is coming in lower than 2024, so it’s all gotta go! Ram 2500 Tradesman’s are 10% off plus dealer invoice pricing!

May it serve u as needed 😮😊

7.3 😊

New retros thru the market.

Man thanks so much for this video. I was having same issues at the range yesterday with slide being stuck….. very helpful info.

That set screw in the trigger does not adjust the trigger pull weight. It will adjust take up but it doesn’t work that way. It is to adjust the over travel of the trigger after the hammer falls. Be careful not to set it too far for it will destroy the hammer hooks. You should adjust it to clear the half cock notch on the hammer then back it up 1/3 to 1/2 more depending on the thread pitch of the screw. This will give it enough clearance to prevent damage to the sear. Trigger pull weight adjustment on the 1911 involves recutting the angle of the sear to hammer hooks engagement. Using different main spring and sear spring weight will also affect weight. Any competent 1911 should be able to hone and adjust that trigger to a clean crisp 3.5 lbs. If Kimber used MIM hammer and sear on that model a snobby 1911 gunsmith will advise you to get forged or billet competition grade parts if you want 2.5 lbs down to 1.5lbs.

how do you turn off the loud ass chime from bluetooth

Having built an AR9 from an Aero upper and lower this past Forth of July. Just my opinion and experiences. I want my magazine release button. Last thing I want in a God Forbid, Shoot or die situation would be to fiddle and fuss cracking open my lower and upper receiver. So I built featureless. Fixed stock, barrel nut, fin grip, 16" Barrel. I'm not a lawyer but I can read well enough and seek out what I think are solid opinions that make sense to me. So I found myself the Strike Industries Mega Fin Grip. I tried it out at my local gun store and thought " Yup.... This is it". I hate California Gun Law, Shark fins, and CA Politicians no end. However I found something legal, that works for me, and that I've grown to like. Much as I hate shark fin grips the Strike Industries Mega Fin has the fin offset to the left and this rather nice rest for my thumb. I can't run an ambi safety because my thumb would be hitting the safety. Moot point: Only time my gun is on safety is when it's locked up or during the range when a cease fire is called. The "Nugget" grips just wouldn't work good, well, or right. My big hands would hang up and cause no end of discomfort hitting the buffer tube and while things like the CQR one piece stock do look nice: There's three tabs that hold the CQR block off plate in place in the center of the stock. I'm not comfortable trusting my freedom and risking a felony to three little plastic tabs. There's a channel called "Blowback9" on KZbin. I followed Doug's advice. It's my opinion if not for Doug at Blowback9 my gun would have jammed, blown up, or been nothing but frustration. I have a CA legal rifle that would probably shoot rocks if I put them in the magazine. The only way I can get it to jam is to leave the chamber flag in the gun and forget to take it out after a cease fire ends.

I thought I was the only one who needs to reset my grip after each shot since i have small and weak hands but it looks like people with big hands do that too.

Exactly how much will it go for in CA?
