FRAT SUMMARY: The Jeep Gladiator is that crazy stripper you dated that pulled a knife on you one time. She's a drunk crazy bi-polar wack job, but goddamn if she isn't fun. The blade to your throat provides a thrill of adrenaline, while she shags you rotten, only to turn psycho on you an hour...
btw, one major complaint I have about the Overland, Is mine has the 7 in touch screen but does NOT have GPS! so now I have to put my phone on this stupid mount and use waze. Tell the dealer to upgrade you to GPS or no dice! Makes life a lot easier.
I realize there is a "heritage" argument to be made, but to me, the stock grill looks like something a soccer mom would pick out. The grill OP posted is a little too much for me. I opted for a vader grill, and get a s-t ton of compliments on it. It isn't too over the top, but prius owners see me...
Not sure, but here is the rim/tire package I ordered. 2.5 in rough country lift on an overland https://www.ebay.com/itm/20x10-Fuel-Hostage-35-MT-Black-Wheels-Rims-Tire-Package-5x5-Jeep-Gladiator-JT/372912710226?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Jeep Overland: Completed today:

-Vader Grille also hit with black Line-X with red flecks
-Red gloss trim interior
-Line-X...
I get maybe 2/10 wave. What I notice is that at lights, they usually won't say anything, and i've even had a few try to "Race" me. I smoked each and every wrangler off the line easily. Tampa FL here.
^^^THIS. At first I wasn't a fan of the Overland soft top and how it looked opened. But the convenience of it far outweighs the drawbacks. The only people I hear bitching about it are other jeep owners (that have a hard top or can't afford a Gladiator) To each his own, I say.
The bronco will allow you to pick up your kids from soccer practice. Just make sure you grow out the karen hair so you look the part. (haw haw! just breakin' bawlz futzy)
So i'm on Quadratec and have ordered several things (Think my credit card is about to catch fire).
I've noticed how prices are not competitive and vary widely for what appears to be the exact same material/concept/look.
For example: Mopar products are absurdly expensive. Was shopping for...
Interested as well. Buying a 5th rim/tire (20x10 on 35's) and thinking of putting it in the bed when I go on road trips. Anyone here install this yet? thoughts?
Agreed. People pull up to me at lights- hillbillies, black folks, college kids, old ladies, you name it...and ask me what it is and where I got it. Whenever I stop the JT at a store or gas station, if I go in it seems like when I come out there will be a group of friends around it debating if...
I'm not really in to hardcore off roading stuff. Just like being able to hit pot holes at 70 and not worry about it, hop curbs if need be, and haul all my stuff. Had two jeeps before this. Jeep really nailed it with the Gladiator! Just a personal preference- but I didn't feel the need to pay...
Just picked up a firecracker red Gladiator Overland. This week is 2.5 in lift kit and 35 in tires/ fuel hostage rims installed, DV8 front/rear bumpers and much more done. Will post pics. Great forum, lots of excellent resources and information!
Jeep On!
