I was thinking $1,200 for Rubicon take-offs and $400 for a decent 9K lb winch leaving $400 for a bumper or plate for the winch. You could definitely spend a lot more but it would not be necessary add a lot of capability. But...this is an basic offroading approach. If you want to go rock...

You need to drive around with the Freedom panels off and then take the whole top off and drive around. There is a huge difference between them. The Freedom panels with the Windows down and back window open does not a convertible make but it is still very nice. Top down or off driving is a...

I got $7K off a Gladiator Sport with a $45K sticker back in late January. Go online and look at advertised deals at Jeep dealers near you. The advertised deal may not be what you want but will help you gauge what discounts are possible on the spec you go with. What you want on you...

Sooner or later someone is going to sell a reasonably priced lockable aftermarket bin. With the Hardtop on it is really not a big deal but when it warms up and I want to leave the top down while out and about this will be an issue. There is remarkably little lockable storage in the Gladiator...

I have 6 cars for 4 drivers and try to keep 2 that are not POS. It was time to replace something in the fleet. The Gladiator can fill a lot of roles: Convertible, Off Road toy, Truck, people hauler. So if I decide to downsize the fleet I have something that can meet a lot of different needs...

Originally I used "Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coating" and that lasted 2-3 years and and was enough to cover the Wrangler twice and my Miata once. I can attest to the long term impact on that product. But...it is expensive. I used "Armor Shield IX" (AvalonKing) this time around. No long...

Mine came without the tow package but you can buy the heavy duty "Mopar Jeep Gladiator Trailer Hitch Receiver OEM" for only $260 on Amazon. It bolts to the frame replaces the light duty one on Jeeps without it and is much better than putting a ball on the Bumper. The ball would be fine for a...

I can recommend ceramic coating but I doubt it would do much for a deep scratch. It is great to protect your paint from normal wear and makes the vehicle a whole lot easier to clean. I applied it to my 2014 Wrangler when it was new and the paint still looks great. I have reapplied it about...

So many wasted years not know what I was missing. Get a Bidet. $50 can change your life. And...There was no meat at Walmart yesterday but they did have TP. Priorities I guess.

The FOB case replacement is great. I don't know what Jeep was thinking with that giant Key Fob. Almost had to start carrying a purse.

Here is a pick of my Sport S with the stock wheels (245/75R17) compared with the Launch Edition takeoffs I purchased from a fellow forum member. The new tires are standard Rubicon 285/70R17. There are no rubs in normal driving or light offroad use and I have 1.5 inches of clearance on the...

I am in the middle on this one. I love my 5 speed Miata. There is just something fun about downshifting and being able to pick what gear you will have when you are sliding thru a corner. Paddle shifters just do not do it for me. But for a daily driver I don't want a clutch for stop and go...

I never lock my convertibles. I keep nothing in them that I would miss and definitely nothing worth more than the top. The other thing is not leaving anything valuable in sight.

I purchased a Gladiator a few weeks ago with a MSRP of $44,950 and got $6,750 off list. You have to make your own decision but $38k is not unreasonable if it meets you desired spec. I would always look at KBB values in your area.

I have added several aftermarket Android Auto systems and they are all picky about the USB cord. The better the quality cable the better the results you will have.

I would love to know how you feel about the swing out tool box after living with it for a month.
