Hmmm, I see them every day in my town. Maybe we're just weirdos. :bandit:

I tried Tinder once, but the girl who showed up wasn't driving a jeep. At least she was a girl.

Those axles are way too thin for that rig. So is the frame in these things; I hope he reinforced it.

Yes, this can't be stressed enough -- 10-15 mins warm, not the 5 minutes recommended in the book. I have never had a vehicle that drains oil slower than this 3.6. I just did my first oil change and it was still in a little stream -- not drips a stream, after draining for about 25 minutes. Not...

Well, maybe they'll see your post and reach out. I dunno, that whole "they traded it in on another _____" line is so common among car dealers. It's safer than saying, "they ran away screaming from the POS and bought a Toyota".

I've got a Sport with stock tires. Those are street tires. OK in rain but not for snow or off road anything. Shame on Bridgestone if they are selling them as something else, but really just look at them. They're street tires. Having said that, we've had some snow and I certainly drive around in...

I didn't know but kept wondering why they were so light lol. Do they ding easily? I like the way the door is really light but closes with a nice thud.

I've got the bog standard 4wd in mine, and it's still a hoot. I grew up in snow and pickup truck country and almost no one had 4wd. Everyone piled sand bags (or something heavy) in back like people are saying here. My first car had a big block, a 4 speed and a Dana 60 out back. Not easy to keep...

It's basically a wrangler with a bed, so the development costs were low. They've sold over 300,000 of them yet...it's a failure. Only in America, baby. I'd add that, while to some extent the Gladiator cannibalizes some sales from the Wrangler, a lot of the buyers come over from pickup trucks...

I'm really surprised by the comfort. Now having taken a few multi-hour trips on farm roads, county highways etc., I've been really impressed. It doesn't jounce around over bumps like my Ranger did. Surprisingly smooth and holds a line decently -- not as well as the Ranger but very good for the...

An Italian and a Frenchman walk into a bar. The bartender says, "what's up, fellas?" The Frenchman says, "we are dropping those filthy muscle cars!" The Italian says, "but we're replacing them with electric Fiats!" The bartender produces a shotgun from beneath the bar, "Get the ____ out of...

It's the crackhead pricing. I've wanted a true jeep for years and years. I loved the Jeep pickups in the 70s, but alas they stopped making them. I always bought pickups because I wanted a bed. So when the Gladiator was introduced I was excited. Come the end of 2020 and I was ready to buy...none...

Check out the dude on the bike, with the yellow jacket. Right at the end he just goes sliding by like it's the most normal thing. :CWL:

Were they made in one of the Nankang Taiwan plants or the mainland China plant? I keep hearing about chinese rubber and plastic products not being manufactured properly these days. At the same time, I bought a bed mat that wasn't quite right. Same brand as the one I got for my Ranger, but this...

I moved from a 2020 Ranger to my Gladiator Sport. I also test drove a Wrangler before buying the Gladiator. I found the Gladiator drove much better than the Wrangler. The Gladiator was not night-and-day from the Ranger -- which is high praise considering how well the Ranger drives. Mine is...

If Nevada is anything like California he's getting them because he'll be denied access to certain places, under certain conditions. CHP used to set up checkpoints where I had my mountaintop lair. No chains, no access. OP, I'd go with the book recommend, since it can be a warranty issue if you...

I hope they can fix it for you. My old F100 took a hit like that and it actually drove better after rebuilding. (Of course, all the new parts and front end alignment was what done that -- but hey, you gotta love traditional build trucks). In the meantime, could you please send the photos to...

Ho, ho ho. Unfortunately, Rudolf has developed a loud tapping noise. Merry Christmas!

End of December is the best time to get a deal. That's an industry true-ism, so not just opinion. I closed on my Sport model this past week. The only thing I had to negotiate was my trade. Dealers want to low ball on that these days, since wholesale used prices are going doooown from their fever...

Say hello to my little frien'.
