    My in-laws just lost theirs 2 weeks ago, cancer. It does seem more than a coincidence. Very sad.

    Cancer is the leading cause of death in dogs 10+ years old. It sucks.

    We had to put our black lab down a few years ago from cancer, he was only 4. My 7 yo GSP died about a year and a half ago. But I think he had a stroke. He had Addisons disease and his brain was never right. I semi joke that we shouldn't have animals because we can't keep them alive. And I'm with Zack, fuck cancer.

    Our first family dog of 12/13 years died last spring. That hit us hard and we had to get another dog quick to pick up the pieces. Couldn't find any boxers so we got a German Shepard Husky.
    Then we ended up taking in another dog for a friend of mine. Now we have three dogs. Not sure how that happened so quickly but I guess it was to heal wounds subconsciously or something.
    Anyways, I'm real sorry about the pup Matt. It's like hearing of someone losing a family member.

    On a lighter note, I saw Eric in the Gladiator on my way to work this morning. It’s looking real nice. @RelentlessFab

    Nice, thanks. Was wondering who the 3rd gen was, figured it had to be someone on here but didnt recognize immediately. Topper looks pretty cool on there, like it better than the typical fiberglass ones :thumbsup:

    If I broke a rule let me know and I'll delete this post. I didn't see a Reno specific board or anything. Sorry I'm new. Smack me down and I'll learn.

    BST rules require a minimum post count of 50. Your post might be interpreted as a BST post :notsure: to be honest, I'm just messing around and stirring up shit like usual.

    I may have gazed at the Gladiator a little longer than I should have when leaving the shop last week. It is looking good......for a Jeep :)

    When I first heard it was coming out I wasn't the biggest fan. I think I saw it in red with the black top on youtube and just thought it looked odd. On the road I've seen a ton now and it's growing on me, but I imagine it's still a Jeep so I don't think the handling / safety is on par with other trucks in the class. It's cool looking though, I'll give it that

    It is looking good...easily the best looking gladiator I've seen in person. I'm looking forward to the long term report on how the vehicles in your fleet compare.

    My impression is that they are trying to be too many things with this truck. I'd definitely cross-shop them if I was looking for something to replace my Tacoma though.

    I feel you on that.. I think Jeep is striking while the iron is hot. I feel like in the last 10 years Jeeps have had an explosion of sales and popularity as more folks get off-road or pretend to, so they probably said, let's compete in the midsize truck market and see how it goes. Neat concept, not for me though. I'm happily moving on from my Jeep
