I would like to own an early 70s AMC V8 powered CJ5 some day.

Family had a 1976 CJ5 that I drove. The first I owned was a 1947 Willys. And this 2023 JT Gladiator. That’s it.

Have you considered the tacoma? Or no interest in another truck?

Mine was the only automatic rubicon on the lot at the end of 2023, so I had one color choice. It was the one up on the podium in front of the dealership. So red picked me.

For what it’s worth: https://www.motortrend.com/features/most-reliable-dependable-car-brands/ 1. Lexus 2. Toyota . . . 11. Jeep (industry average) Frankly, I’m happy to hit average reliability for the entire brand… there are definitely some duds in the lineup. Also, there are some surprises...

Well, I still have the 2010 4Runner, and it's one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned. My Tundra was also trouble-free. Jeep's been great, but I only have 12K miles. :) Subaru, not so much... unless you like replacing head gaskets.

We’ve had a 2010 4Runner since new. 160K and problem free. Only replaced wear items (brakes, tires, etc). It’s been a great car, but a little boring. I had the same experience with our 2014 Tundra. And Toyota does the right thing when a problem does arise (like the new Tundra engine...

I'm impressed with how the Gladiator does on snow/ice... much more stable than my last Jeep (1947 CJ2A). That was an adventure on icy roads!

My plan is If you plan to take it offroad, I would stick with a 17" wheel. Better flex and traction than a larger wheel.

Are you planning on stock wheels? Wheel offset is another factor... those that replied look to have aftermarket wheels.

Here's their catalog: Catalogs - pewag I see up to 37x12.50R17 after a quick glance.

I was looking at this one: AEV JT 2.5" DualSport RT Suspension | Jeep Gladiator Lift Kit

pewag.us - pewag They have chains Made in USA (Pueblo, Colorado). I'm up and down Wolf Creek pass all winter. Chains are a necessity IMO.

The AEV Stamped Control Arm Geometry Correction Brackets come with the lift kit, correct? I'm also curious about the addition of the LCAs...

To fulfill my pledge, I need one of the following: First Choice: Jeep JT Gladiator 2.5" Game-Changer Suspension & Lift Kit RockSport Black Reservoir Shocks https://metalcloak.com/jt-gladiator-2-5-game-changer-suspension-systems.html Second Choice: Jeep JT Gladiator 2.5" Rocklander Overland...

Best color too!

Just installed a Christmas present Quadratec dead pedal with rubber pad. Super easy to install and so natural feeling I immediately forgot it was there. It should have been there from the start, IMO.

They’d probably make it $120K.

I can say with confidence you don’t want to leave that outside. And gantry cranes are great for pulling engines, IMO.

😢 That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen…
