Coming up on 2 years of ownership, still catch myself smiling like a goon at it from time to time.

3rd time putting my Sunrider on (I run hardtop Dec, Jan, Feb) and as I was walking back into my house I realized I'm smiling at my truck like an idiot. Just daydreaming about flipping back the top and taking off my doors. Daydreaming about getting back out into nature now that my youngest is 3 months old and not so difficult where I feel like I can't leave my wife alone to wheel. This truck still puts a stupid smile on my face. Favorite vehicle I've ever owned.

I pulled into a parking space at Tractor Supply yesterday and noticed a guy who had just gotten out of his vehicle and walking my way, staring.
Normally I get right out after parking, but I could tell this guy wanted to talk about the JT, so I left it running and pretended to be doing things on my phone. ?

Two years in here too and couldn't be happier. I've learned a lot with the JT and still have a long way to go but this thing does everything I've asked of it. Smiling every time I look at it is a bonus I wasn't expecting but after two years it still happens

A coworker came to me today, he’s picking his up tomorrow and as gitty as I’ve been since day 1.

It's 2 years today, and 35,000 miles on. It's been flawless. I've had people come up to me and tell me that it's a nice truck/Jeep.

Just about 2 years as well and around 16K miles. I have to try super hard to not drive it in the winter salt, just because it's such a pleasure to drive. Some days I wish I had to commute to work even, so instead at lunch and breaks I just go stare at it.... And the TJ.... And the LJ.... :LOL:

I understand your feelings. I've been in the jeep family for the past 14 years and only had my Gladiator for 8 months, but I do look back and have a stupid smile on my face. I did this with my last Wrangler (loved it) and hopefully will continue to do with for years to come.

I thought in the 70s NOVAS & Z28S CAMAROS was the dream. Nope started buying jeeps in the late 80s.
The GLADIATOR stands above them all for fun and Smiles.

I couldn’t agree more. I bought mine because the Gladiator was the culmination of a dream for me. When I was young the first vehicle I ever sat in was a Scrambler at a car show. I have wanted a jeep truck ever since.
