Jeep Gladiator

My previous ride \/ \/ \/ 2007 JK Wrangler purchased new (1st year body style). Drove it every day till I traded for the Taco last month. Over 250,000 miles with only 1 warranty repair for a leaking head gasket. Other than that, normal wear and tear maintenance items. As she sits in this picture, she has a 2" Frankenlift (Suspension off of a 2014 JKU), 265/75 on 17" Fuel wheels. Had to install rear bumper and tire carrier to support the larger E rated wheels and tires. No other issues to report. Just my $0.02

 

Toyota replaced my frame as well.

 

I just stopped to take a look at my first Gladiator yesterday. $50k Rubicon and I actually thought it was pretty bitchin. 6MT and 285/70's. Would I pay that? Hell no.

 

They do look pretty cool.
The local dealer has about a dozen of them, all lined up out front.
But I have yet to see one on the road.

 

I like my truck, still want a Jeep. Almost bought a CJ and a YJ within the last week. Waiting for a closer candidate to pick up.

 

My dad just bought one and put 37s and a lift on. Ignoring potential quality issues, I think they are badass. Interior is really nice too.

 

I dig it, next year when my truck is paid off I might look for a used Rubi JT.

 

I prefer my old H2.




Left the factory on 35x12.5R15's, E locker, and OBA. It was great, until gas hit $5 a gallon...

 

And 5 mpg

 

Such hostility

 

This is the kind of Gladiator I would buy, but that might peel the Ram 2500/3500 sales away...

 

I think you should put a stake bed on your Tundra. Be the first. I dare you.

 

I think we can agree that Jeep quality has gone way up since the Italians took over. Its still not Toyota level, but man......those AMC jeeps were true shitboxes.

 

Stake beds are awesome.



But the whiskey says I should be thinking about a steak bed. Mmmmmmm

 

After working in a morpar dealership for a year or so it cured me from owning a dodge for life

 

Once the bed is roached out enough I will.

 

Not as cool as the duallys of the 80s, but cool.

 

They work better as a single cab.

 

Damn!!! That’s hot.

 

Finally saw one of these things at close range today and when it turned the corner and I saw the ass end I laughed out loud. That is the most pansy looking thing I’ve seen in a while.
