If I had all the money in the world, I would totally grab this up and make an Islander trim Gladiator, just because why not. :)

Holy crap, I didn't even plan that. Good catch! ?

When I get a picture of a Gladiator with a soft top that goes all the way down like it should, I'll be sure to post it here.

If they had put a 392 in the Mojave LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, all other Gladiator trims would instantly turn into Tacomas and go scurrying away to their local junkyards.

I'm usually with you, but my wife and I have definitely had a discussion about how it's hard to generically refer to your Jeep. You can call your Gladiator your "truck" and be done with it, sure. But my wife drives a JL, and "car" isn't right, "SUV" doesn't roll off the tongue very easily, and...

I half jokingly told my wife we might as well just do a spooky Christmas theme on her Jeep at this point. Like a wreath with orange and purple lights, or a reindeer head mounted on the hood with blood leaking out. All this holiday shit is so over-commercialized anymore that it's hard to care...

I don't have the funds (or lift) needed for these at the moment, but if you're still sitting on these a month or so from now, I may be taking a road trip down your way.

I'm with you, and I think the world would be a much better place if more people were like you. I'm not a religious person in the slightest, but I will admit that I've always appreciated this verse: The point being, if you're going to do something good, do it because the right thing to do, not...

OBO = anticipating being lowballed = overpriced it to start with = *evil laugh*

My poor Florida boy is going to be moving up north here in the near future. You can add me to the list of Mojave abusers. :)

Heh, well the only reason I read it like that is because I'm a technical writer. I can't turn my grammar snot off either. :)

This is how I read this post... Yep, I agree. Makes sense, but that's a particularly specific and professional way to express that concern... *checks profile* "Mechanical Engineer" I knew it... :LOL:

Yep, it's confirmation bias - looking for evidence to support what you already believe. In my case, I have discussions like these specifically to combat that very thing. I know I get my head set on something, and it helps to hear others' perspectives - even dissenting ones. At the end of the...

On one of the few occasions that I used the bed of mine, those cables proved to not be all that reliable. My wife and I had loaded up a few long boxes from Ikea, and we put the tailgate propped up with the cables. We ratchet strapped the entire load to both of the tie down points in the front...

Yea, I'm kinda leaning that way as well. My wife and I have talked a few times about trading the JT in, and the rationalization we come to is that her JL can easily pull a small trailer in the event that we really NEED something the size of a truck. Short of the plywood itself, everything else...

A couple red flags on that site... At the top, it asks you to select a currency. IOW, probably ships from somewhere else. Their mailing address is a PO box, no physical store. Their other merch is a bunch of random clothes. Everything about this site reeks of "made in China" scam.

Fair enough - I do occasionally speak in hyperbole. :)

Well feel free to bring yours down to Ocala National Forest and tell me how it goes. My wife's 2-door barely makes it through some of the turns there.

I will re-iterate just to make sure we're on the same page: I was only talking about me and what I've used it for. I have no doubts about the capability of the Gladiator. It's just, for ME, it's not been ideal. Again, I'm just talking about what *I've* used it for. I've never had to tow or...

Well, I think I'm on the opposite side of the same part of the fence as you, so maybe this will help. I originally got my Mojave because I thought it would be fun to take the top off, doors off, and be able to customize the snot out of everything. I didn't go for a Wrangler because my wife had...
