Found one for $1500 with a warn winch. I also found one off a 392 for $400 and then found out how sensitive my standard Mojave is. $600 is max I would pay. I think I will contact American Adventure Lab which is local to me here in St George and see if they can make me something custom that is...
Last time I saw a Bison it was $63K. Not a chance I'm paying that much. I will take my 3.6 Mojave for $45K over the Bison, especially since I can mount a 37" KO2 underneath while the 35" tire is mounted in the bed on the Bison. All your other points are valid. I like my Gladiator better.
I remember the Vegas dealerships gave me pricing a few months ago and it was either with a $10K discount or the 2.9%. Not both. So I guess I got lucky when my Wrangler died in their parking lot to get $23K off and they gave me $6K more than any dealership (CarMax or Carvana) offered for my Jeep...
I have run it on the 40% side with seats back folded down. Tie it down the the floor where the undersea storage bolted in and to the rear seat tether. Makes it a little more difficult for my dog to get in and out, but it's doable. In winter it will go in the bed, but tying it down is harder so...
Just added a Bestop twill roll-up tonneau cover. Wanted something cheap that would cover stuff in the bed. This fit the bill perfectly and looks great on the Jeep. Completes the look.
Finally added a tonneau cover. Bestop twill. Easy install. No flapping or noise at the moment. Looks great on a Gladiator. Paid $400. I wasn’t worried too much about security since I live in a low crime area. It really completes the look.
