10 months, 12,000+ miles, multiple blizzards…a Beast!!

Favorite vehicle out of 20+ I’ve owned to date, hands down.

First Jeep, won’t be the last.

I love this thing so much that I’m pretty sure I’ve already posted to this thread and don’t remember

1 year and a month later…

The JT is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Won’t ever get rid of it, not even for that Turbo in-line 6 banger that Stellantis is flexing. When my Pentastar explodes, I’m putting a 5.7L or 6.4L in it.
Ambitious move. Hope to see that!

I have my top and doors off. Heated seats and wheel help. Today it's 46 and windy.

I do love me some SW Florida. Parents are retired to Fort Myers. People are great down there an April is that sweet spot. July and I feel like I will melt. Between the bugs and the humidity....on a boat is the only place I want to be in Florida that time of year.
I second the bugs! I lived in Ocala and contracted Eastern Equine Encephalitis from a mosquito ending my career forcing retirement. Life changes in an instant.

June the 18 will be two years 42K currently. Still love the truck had a electrical gremlin in the radio screen one time dealer could not repeat and it has not reappeared in over a year.
Good for you!

2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
Mine recently rolled over 30K miles. It is a 2020 Rubi. Probably the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. Need to wheel it a bit more.

Best mods: Sunrider flip top and the roll-n-lok bed cover.

Minor issues along the way. Need to tilt the driver's seat back a bit. Can get uncomfortable on long trips. Software updates for UConnect are annoying.

Other than getting rear-ended last year (not the Jeep's fault) it has been flawless.

Thanks, I like the contrast of any light color with black rims.

Pretty sure I’m staying stock on the suspension but going to 285’s next set of tires.

Probably will add a roof rack and tent (and lots of other little things). ?

Great plan, can’t wait to see it.
