A survey to see the demographic age groups
represented by Gladiator owners.
Generation Alpha would be too young to drive
and The Greatest Generation with rare exception
would be too old to drive now
but I wanted to show all seven age groups.
Thank you for playing.
I like my RokBlokz mud flaps and I like my Mopar Rock Rails.
ACE Engineering Rock Sliders
can be used with Mopar OEM Rock Rails
but are they going to interfere with the mud flaps?
My little town was just outside the edge of the path of totality
but a pleasant 80 mile drive through the countryside
got me in far enough to experience 4 minutes of totality.
We removed the "eclipse" panels and kicked back.
This picture was taken 20 minutes before totality.
Not a Gladiator but
a decent replica of the original flatfender military Willys jeep
right down to the split windshield, spare tire, jerry can,
military white stars and unit markings.
Made in the Republic of Texas.
This Mini Jeep is not shown on their website, Massimo Motor.

The purpose of this thread
is to share hunting and fishing trophy pictures
game camera pictures and related content,
including firearms and the shooting sports.
By virtue of its pickup bed,
the Gladiator excels in these pursuits,
compared to its Wrangler sibling.
So as not to offend the...
The factory cloth upholstery
in my 1998 Wrangler Sahara
is 25 years old
and still in good condition.
In spite of dogs riding in it
for the nine years that I have had it
there are no rips or tears from toenails.
The dog hair does not cling to the cloth
and is easy to swipe away
along with sand...
This weekend we change to Standard Time.
Let your voices be heard.
In March of 2022, Senator Marco Rubio's
Sunshine Protection Act
to make Daylight Saving Time permanent
easily passed in the Senate
but Nancy Pelosi would not even take it up in the House.

There is another thread for Movies that Used Jeep Pickups
like the J10 Gladiator in movies like Tremors, Twister etc.
Allow me to propose this thread for our new Gladiator JT.
A highly modded one has a significant role in the first part of F9 The Fast Saga.
To quote Woody Allen,
"My goal in life is to climb a low mountain."
I have a 1998 bone stock Sahara TJ,
except for tube style front fenders
added after a previous incident,
and a 2021 bone stock Gladiator Rubicon.
For those of you who have hit the trails with both,
If I just wanted to have a...
Not that I've ever crawled anything bigger than the curb at Starbucks,
it seems to me that the most vulnerable part of the Gladiator
is the extended rear end and poor departure angle
that invites hanging up and damage.
Does anyone make a rear skid plate
that starts behind the rear axle,
covers...
Back in the bad old days,
some vehicles had trunk and glove box keys
separate from the ignition and door keys.
Some vehicles had an ignition key
that unlocked the doors, trunk,
glove compartment and center console.
But those vehicles also had a second key, the valet key,
that only worked in...

Think it would sell?

Remarkably, the Quadratec JTe Gladiator began life not as a Jeep pickup but as a white 2022 Wrangler Unlimited 4xe model. First, Henderson and his team chopped the Wrangler's...
In every vehicle I've owned since 1968
that had cruise control
one simply holds down the set+ button
until the desired speed is achieved
then release the button.
Which is what the 500 page owners manual
for my 2021 Rubicon JT says.
What a surprise when I lifted off the button
and it kept...
Ladies, help me out here.
Valentine's Day is coming soon
and maybe I'm wrong, I often am,
but I think it would be cool to have
lipstick and nail polish that matches
the iconic red tow hooks on a Rubicon.
No, not for me!
For my wife and daughter
who has her own Wrangler Rubicon.
The idea came...
For the little bit of light towing I might need to do
I chose to use the existing cross member
and an etrailer receiver.
The thought of cutting a 2-inch hole in the plastic bumper
on my new-to-me 2021 made me nauseous
so I attempted to remove the bumper as I saw in one video.
That is when I...
A M.O.R.E. Dead Pedal for a left foot rest seemed like a good idea.
So I decided to treat myself and ordered one.
The mounting plate provides three positions to mount the pedal.
It's a devil to install so I wanted to get it right the first time.
My thinking went like this.
The driver can...
The photos on the dealer website suggested
the already vertically challenging 2021 Rubicon JT
had been lifted even higher
and was on 35 inch tires.
For a short, fat old man like me,
this would make saddling up and dismounting,
though not impossible,
awkward at the least.
While I waited for the...
