I live I Dallasā¦jeepsā¦specifically wranglers⦠are ubiquitous hereā¦lots of unmodded unlimiteds driven by soccer momsā¦.lots of modded ones driven by teenagers.
I wave at other gladiatorsā¦they all wave back.
I wave at most wranglers tooā¦maybe 50% wave back.
Bolted on some Rb20 running boards for the kidsā¦I think I put them on the wrong sideā¦apparently the fat end goes forwardā¦not sure if itās worth switching them.
I live in Dallasā¦after trying to deal with 3 or 4 local dealers with experiences that ranged from meh to terrible I ordered from Guton and saved ~5k off sticker. Nobody in dfw would come close. Well worth the $200 flight, $50 Uber, and full day drive home.
Or is this something I just hit with a wire brush and rustoleum? Whatās the best color of spray paint to use on the frame of my new 50k vehicle? These arenāt the only spots. Do I get to look forward to the entire frame looking like this after a few more months?
Whatās wrong with it? I swear betweeen the jeep reputation for unreliability and this forum I am thinking of trading my 1750 mile Oct 2021 build gladiator In For a taco or a 4 runner. I might make money on the deal. Hereās to hoping the new car smell wears off before I get a leaking main seal...
Not super worried about itā¦just thought Iād ask to see how common it might beā¦never owned a Jeep before, also never experienced this on any other vehicle I have owned rented or borrrowed. As long as the door shuts and doesnāt leak or fly open Iāll most likely just live with it.
Proud gladiator owner for 1 month and 1200 miles. 3 of my doors make a normal sound when I close themā¦kind of a muffled āschmunk.ā The driver side rear door makes more a deeper, louder āthunkā that has a sort of hollow reverberation. It might take just a hair more force to shut it, but not...
Only had the gladiator a few weeks. I ordered the max tow option specifically so I could go with bigger tires without a re gear but after driving it for a few weeks Iām kind of liking the 21-23 mpg Iām getting on the highway so I might just leave it as is. It looks like the 2ā suspension lift...
1st Jeep. Previously owned an 86 suburban, 92 big bronco, 96 big bronco, ā04 outback. I like go anywhere do anything vehicles and this thing seems to fit the bill.
ordered 8/11, āshippedā I think around 10/5, delivery window 10/22-11/5. Got an email from gupton 11/6 that it was ready. Picked up 11/11. So 3 months start to finish for me.
Picked up JT sport S Max Tow at Gupton on 11/11 and drove it home to Texas. Now trying to figure out how to improve the breakover without killing the fuel economyā¦the cab sits up really high for as low as the belly is. Kind of has the profile of a 1950 chevy.
