Jefe’s Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel

[bleda2002]

Hey brother. Hope you faired the hurricanes alright. I was actually meaning to reach out.

And yeah.. A mid size on 37’s isn’t the best towing vehicle, I’m sure if the heat weren’t an issue because I had a 3.6 the lack of low end torque would be. I’m going to be going Power Wagon and probably eventually an XJ I can build up and not worry about scratching.

I did pretty good, Helene didn't do anything to me, and Milton knocked out power for a few days but the propane held out for the generator so no worse for wear. My parents house got 3 feet of water from Helene though so it's been a lot of work gutting and fixing.

Truck actually does ok on the 38s and 5.13s but I wouldn't want to tow anything bigger than I have. It definitely didn't enjoy the mountains of TN. The power wagon is what I've been looking at too, although the new scout looks pretty interesting.

Needed a tow rig that could wheel.

JT, especially with the diesel is a wheeling rig that can tow okay, in nice weather.

Yeah the Gladiator was never intended to be a legit "tow rig"......the numbers just don't add up

Honestly, what I needed to tow, the JT was fine by the numbers usually. It was the oil temps that pushed me crazy. I had 0 issues in 3 years and 34,000 miles, other than the oil temps going up even empty in the summers here.

I ended up with a “real truck” that could handle what I need.

I’ll end up with a Jeep again, but right now I can only have one vehicle. If you can only have one, having a pick up is never a bad idea.

I think they’re not making much on this one now.
