Many years ago I saw a guy that was showing his Ferrari at a mall show wiping it down with a flannel cloth and something in a spray can that had duct tape wrapped around it. I was maybe 19-20 then (so it was loong ago) and I asked him what was in the can? He said he couldn’t tell me because it...
I THOUGHT I had posted this photo already....hmmmm.
Oh well, I don’t mind posting it again. Brought home a new fridge from Costco for the garage. We’ve had extended family visiting for awhile and had food stashed in the RV fridge, the small garage fridge and two ice chests. Decided to bite the...
You want any vehicle to stay looking good you can’t abuse them. Unfortunately, what many/most do with a Jeep would be classified as abuse if it were an ordinary sedan.
That said, even though you may take yours off-road and in mud, sand, etc you CAN keep them looking very good if you commit to...
Just curious if anyone knows if changing the throttle controller settings in California violates smog laws/would impact registration renewal when that comes up?
Wow, that's 6000 lbs? Are you fairly certain it's that heavy?
I ask because I own a 2003 Centurion 22ft wakeboard boat with a Chevy 350 in it on a Trailrite trailer and the information I have found online SEEMS to put them at a bit under 5000 lbs. Since my truck is a Rubicon the maximum tow...
Who says Gladiators aren't trucks? Lol. Mine brought home this 22 cu. ft. refrigerator today.
I keep thinking it's the same size as older "full size" American pickups - Apparently not parked next to my '55. Yeah, the '55 is low and the Gladiator is high but it's still bigger overall and by...
Very nice. Which roof rack is that? Im looking for something to mount my Thule box on which would also work when I do not want to use the Thule. How is it for noise at freeway speeds?
So true. It's taken me a long time to realize your "today" is their past. If you want their memories to be full of good feeling of their dad you have to spend every "today" making these memories for them. It's the only way we live on in their minds later.
^^ Good to see this picture. Your boat looks a lot like my 2003 Centurion wakeboard boat and I've wondered just how well the Gladiator would tow it. Specifically, if I need to invest in a load distributing hitch? Yours looks like it's squatting a little in back. Would you recommend air bag...
All these reasons ^^^ apply to me too. Also if/when I ever sell my Rubicon it will almost certainly have better resale value than a GMC Canyon AT4 - which I considered buying.
I don't have much intent to go wheeling though I am sure I will launch my boat from dirt at a local lake here and to...
I JUST sold my totally stock 2017 Wrangler Sport two door a month after getting my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. They just look alike but are very different animals. Kinda like Shaq just looks like a human but is truly something else! ha ha
The Gladiator feels totally different. Coming from my 2014...
Thanks for the kind words, Dave.
Yes, I was thrilled to get it. Bought for my 55th birthday because the Administration had not yet guaranteed loans for GM so it was questionable if they would go bankrupt. Got an absolute steal on it new.
Only the 2nd new vehicle I'd ever owned.
2016 we went on vacation to New Zealand. I knew we'd be gone a few weeks so I pulled my purchased-new Chevy 3500HD LTZ crew dually 4x4 in the backyard, locked up tight. It never occurred to me that it was parked right next to my grape arbor that was full of Thompson grapes.
The day we got home...
Spray-in. Line-X Pro for me only as I DO want it to look good. I like the idea of a bed rug but I mostly carry lumber home from Home Depot and some plants sometimes. I wouldn't want to have to pick out the slivers from the bed rug nor vacuum the dirt from the plants.
I've had Line-X Pro on my...
"Dan in Pasadena" is my old name. I still use it because I don't want to change it but I'm really Dan in Glendora as of April 1st in 2020. Nevertheless I'm sure you're right. We'll run into each other sooner or later. Mine's Sting Gray, Also with colored flares and roof just like yours. There...
Brian,
Your Mojave is nearly identical to my Rubicon and we have gone to Isabella every year since the 60's. Haven't been there for boating in the last couple years because the lake has been so low but we will again asap.
Nice to see my semi-twin Gladiator in an area it'll be in very soon...
These words in bold jump out. Is this a marriage or an employer?
Yeah, maybe it's how you wrote it and not how she said it but even if it's just how you expressed it, ask yourself WHY you did so?
SO MANY guys talk about getting "permission" from their wives. That's just wrong. Take it from...
