never would have happened with a JT in weekend warrior mode!
At first I thought it was your TDI "RIP”!!! :surprised:
But after checking your vehicles list I saw yours was an “older” Jetta 2001... :whew:

Nope, my tdi RIP was RIPed, by a suburban, not rogue plywood.

Only thing I missed was #PLYWOOD! Oh and I missed the contest so enjoy!

BRAVO Plywoodpat!

ohh, and your photo does count for the contest's 2nd prize. Currently 3 submissions for that.

EDIT: I lied, only @5JeepsAz has a qualifying 2nd prize submission. Your photo @pilotpat and mine don't qualify because they're not OUR jeeps, unless we buy them.

So, Did you sneak the Dealerships Gladiator to Menards?
or
Did you smuggle said plywood in your mini-van in an attempt to subvert the contest?

COLLUSION!!!!

:LOL:
I wouldn't say I smuggled plywood in my mini-van. I bought plywood and casually placed it in my minivan. I went to the stealership on a Sunday because i figured no employees would be there, that's not covert, that's just smart.

NO COLLUSION! I've been completely vindicated of any crime as nobody has called me yet, (knock on plywood)! Completely exonerated, nothing abnormal here, just some guy driving up to a new Jeep Gladiator and testing if plywood actually fits in the bed! Now, where are all those Hilary emails? :CWL::CWL::CWL::LOL::LOL::LOL::angry:

What about the gas pipe? Did the plywood have to rest on that or to the side of that? That’s the picture that America is waiting to see.

due to time constraint I wasn't able to snap a photo of that.

might need to have a professional photographer do a photo shoot of my JT with plywood to show it off, lol.

I have yet to see any pictures like this, but this is the best I could do and didn't have any plywood on hand to conduct a full test. I tried to line up the best I could, and I think this pic can show with 99% confidence that the "gas fill bump" intrudes into the bed an equal distance or slightly less the the opening of the tail gate. With this I hypothesize that if it fits within the opening with of the tailgate it will not hit the "gas fill bump". testing to follow.
