What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Jhall1981]

how did you do on the trade? and how much a change was the payment? Id be lying if I said I don't think about this sometimes.

I couldn’t be happier. The dealer actually gave me a great deal on trade in. I’ll have to look at the papers again but I wanna say 43k ish. But that’s with me canceling all gap and ext. warranty and everything else and rolling that amount into the trade. No money out of my pocket for the deal and payment did raise about $70.

Nice truck! But I personally couldn’t part with my Gladiator for a full size truck. I traded from a full size Silverado to my Gladiator and couldn’t be happier. Enjoy your new ride!

I got out of a 2019 bighorn to get the gladiator. Couldn’t do it any longer. WAY too small, no power. Shitty MPG. And could drive straight if your life depended on it. Also took over 3 months to get the tsb done only to find out it was the wrong part. I wasn’t about to wait another 3-6 months (according to the Jeep rep.) for the correct part. Finally said screw it im done and went back to the 21 Ram. The JT had 4K on it when I got rid of it.

Boooooooo

To each their own! You can keep the “Jeep Thing” and I’ll stick with Ram. More room, comfort, power and better mpg! And I can let go of the steering wheel and it stay on the road ?

That looks sharp! I did a black trail rated badge and it makes a big difference. Super easy with a heat gun, fishing line and clean it up with some 3m adhesive remover.

This the Mopar oem version I got which should match your jeep fender emblem. It says black and Grey but its all black just not a gloss finish.

Plastidip is not permanent and doesn't last. Nothing wrong with plastidip, I did spray my $500 box trailer with it and it's fine but chips and peels up in places. I would never spray my $50k+ truck with it. 6 bucks for a can of paint or 20 for a high quality badge that will last the life of the vehicle.

I had mine powder coated for 20$ Emblem was free with the fox lift so I didn’t mind paying for it & it matches the red on my dash..Don at pixelsecals did the sticker

I got the four rear control arms switched out relatively easily - usually everything I work on turns into an ordeal.

I’m glad it worked out for you. Seems these “easy” mods turn into an ordeal for me, too!

I would also like to know

I asked him this same question. He has a well planned out rig!
JCR “half” rack, I believe. Lets you fold your sunrider back.

It annoys me that the Tacoma has various electrical power ports in the truck bed and the JT often does not. So, I installed my own. I also used an uncommon power port assembly configuration called a Trolling Motor Connector.

Great thinking on the trolling motor connections for high amp loads I should have remembered that when I added 12v power in bed? and I have a couple spare for my boat.

It was like a mud slushy. Didn't look bad at first, but when felt that nose drop, (insert Morgan freeman f***ed up quote). Luckily I was ready with shovel and winch. Left my trac boards at home tho. Pulled out fairly easy with buddy inside and in reverse.

It's really nice "Great" having a portable winch you can use in back of vehicle isn't it.
