Yeah man we have a Traverse and it's the best car we've ever had. My wife liked the Gladiator until I put the topper on. I secretly hope she finds the 'dream color' in a Wrangler (instead of a Land Rover or some other crap). Thanks and good luck to you brother.
Loving the Gladiator ... my excuse has been "Wife wanted a Wrangler; I wanted a truck. Just made sense."
Now it's about time to replace the family SUV and I'm thinking Wrangler (to compliment the Gladiator).
Granted this is the Gladiator forum ... any thoughts on a dream Wrangler? I'm thinking...
Good morning!
Congrats on the topper and sharing your excitement!
How many people will be in the tent? Will you be parking in your garage w RTT installed? Desire for solar panel or rack options on top of the RTT?
I don’t pretend to have good advice but I went through this before deciding on...
Hey man! Sounds exciting! Just some friendly (possibly unwanted) advice from a stranger who LOVES family camping. If you're set on purchasing a TT - you can ignore the rest of this message.
I spent *years* agonizing over the same questions, only to conclude I would never own a TT. After taking...
I love my Gladiator. I selected it to take the family camping (i.e., "overlanding") ... period. Leading up to spring, I'm now 99% complete on my dream setup (e.g., lift, winch, cap, RTT, fridge, etc.)
While I have no regrets purchasing and upgrading my Jeep, I've just realized the severity of...
Just over 25 inches. I’m waiting to receive and install the slide out table before getting a fridge ... apparently it takes 8” from the top to slide the table out (ouch).
Hope this helps :-)
Despite dealer's insistence in going Mopar to maintain warranties, I went with Clayton 2.5 Overland Plus. So glad I did.
Suspension felt a little stiff at first until I put some weight on the truck (cap, bumper, winch) and now it rides like a dream.
So far, the dealer has also honored all...
Smartcap just arrived! Excited to install and get organized for family camping trips. Glad I went this route over a bedrack.
I've been watching these posts and appreciate all the info.
Gladiator Overland takeoffs - 18" rims with 255/70R18s, including TMPS and full size spare. Less than 1000 miles.
$600 for local pickup in central Iowa.
That’s awful! Wow. Thanks for the cautionary tale - I came very close to purchasing (a 14” max modular bed rack with tonneau brackets) about a week before your post. So glad I waited! Sorry that happened and hope Chad provided some resolution.
Love this forum! Thanks to everyone here for providing info/suggestions. Based on recommendations, chose an enclosed cap (instead of a bed rack) for more space, security and protection.
So yes, I pulled the trigger on an RSi SmartCap this week. Wanted an EVOc w/ two full bins, but due to...
This. I decided to copy the quick access element-on-a-roll-bar option for the Jeep. Meanwhile, my wife's car has a traditional extinguisher behind the passenger seat (with a questionably expensive bracketeer).

Hi Steve.
BLUF/TLDR: I am no expert whatsoever, but we have similar circumstances. For what it's worth, I chose a 2.5" lift and 34" tires on 17X8" rims (I'm sure I will get flamed for small tires).
