Found it on the hood of my truck leaving a Dodgers game last night. (Yeah, I KNOW the hood has water spots - neighbor's sprinklers are out of whack.)

I DO look at it and most of the time and it's about 15-16mpg. But I don't drive aggressively so it is what it is. But I'm also weird about gas prices: They got so damned high what the hell difference does it make to drive all over to save a dime per gallon? I'm definitely not doing that to save...

It's funny that in SoCal - where you see EVERY vintage car ever made - you almost never see vintage Jeep trucks!

I did a quick Google Image search just to see how nice this model might be made to look. Found this one as the only one I kind of like.

I was surprised to find no thread exists (that I could find) documenting vintage Gladiators. I found this one for sale on Craigslist and did a screen grab since the ad will expire eventually. The driver side front floor is rusted through and will need replacement.

Thank you so much. I'd specifically wanted a '55 big back window since my 30's (I'm 67 now) it was a total derelict. Hadn't been registered or driven from '99 til 2010. The guy I got it from bought it from the original 1955 owner that had gotten too old to drive. He only had it 6 months, got...

Thanks for the kind words. I debated and debated whether to use red at all! I REALLY liked the idea of Hugger Orange too but again I thought I would get tired of it after some years. I think I made the right choice.....for me.

Fingers, eyes and toes crossed here but I’ve had excellent luck with ALL the used cars I’ve ever purchased…so far. But I’m about to turn 68 so there may not be that many more cars in my future. When i look for a used car I basically am looking for a brand new car that happens to have miles on...

Right. I had the exact same concern, “What if I lose signal or even lose my phone?!.” Not to worry. The only thing I did worry about on the long trip is it would be quite easy to steal. I doubt too many know what it is other than once installed it look funny because it’s long. It comes with...

So you have one too? Excellent. I wondered if anyone else here had purchased/used one and how reliable it has been for them? Nicest thing is if I every need to tow with another vehicle I'm all set!

Bought my 2020 JTR used with 15,000 miles via Carvana in July last year. I've put another 15,000 miles on it and have not had a single problem of any kind. I even drove it from SoCal to Seattle and back last month. Over 2,200 miles in a week and towing a 6500 lb 16 ft enclosed trailer on the...

I was recently debating the same question because I was about to drive from SoCal to Seattle to pick up my nephew's new 16 ft. enclosed trailer and tow it back to Central CA. I opted for for this Curt brake controller and it works fantastic for a 1000 mile tow. It's pricey but no more so than...

The color of my '55 Chevy truck. It's a 2012 to I-don't-know-when Honda Milano Red. I wanted the darkest non-metallic red that was not burgundy. I love bright reds but I thought I would tire of it after a few years. My truck has been painted since 2017 and I still love it, still gets noticed.

Exactly right. Way too early to surmise anything. Well, I guess having four wheels is safe

Ha ha, NONE of us knows a damn thing about it and you've already made up your very closed mind.

^^^ THIS. There are parking strategies that become habit if you HATE door dings like I do. Out in the distance - though some people seem to think the cars parked out there are magnets and park RIGHT next to them despite there being dozens or even hundreds of available spots. End spots...

Thanks for the link NOW I get it. Makes me surprised Jeep hasn't introduced a DuckDuck edition Wrangler and Gladiator painted yellow with an orange grille! Seems like it would be a natural and also contribute X dollars to help education related charities from their sale. Someone should pass...

This was on my door handle when I came out of the grocery store yesterday. I still don't "get" the association between Jeeps and ducks.....oh well.

Personally, I don't think "the market" has anything to do with it. In my experience dealers have ALWAYS marked up hot selling cars whatever they thought they could get for them. I call it, "Because we can" money. SOMEONE will want the newest, hottest thing on the market and WILL pay it. It's...

Wow, 45 years ago was 1977. I'd just graduated from college in January of '77 and got married in April of '78. I can't imagine saving $7600 at 16. That was HUGE money in those days. Online says: "Value of $7,600 from 1976 to 2022 $7,600 in 1976 is equivalent in purchasing power to about...
