It's really awesome that enough of us buy through Gupton and are nice enough people to spend a couple minutes to go find someone elses truck on the lot for them and grab a pic. Says alot about this forum in general.
Part of it is probably the overhwelming excitment of seeing and picking up...
Ace rock rails arrive tomorrow. I was tricked into believing it would take 3-5 weeks for them to ship out but they shipped out the 1st business day after I ordered them.
Pulled into carpool this morning to see this parked at the school. There's going to be some carpool confusion if there are 2 Gecko Gladiators picking up kids in the afternoon.
I have a Sunrider for the hardtop that I ordered with the JT. When I first got it it never flapped. After a couple of months the middle folded portion of it has started flapping when open and going above around 35MPH. No issues with flapping or loosness when closed. I emailed @Bestop to...
I've been waiting to see if it is available MY22 before trying to contact someone to ask. Current numbers won't matter if there's another run of them next year.
That's the plan. If it doesn't live that long I'll grab a 2032 JT in some stupid ass color, hopefully Barbi Pink if they don't have gecko that year.
I've never loved a vehicle or enjoyed the experience of driving a vehicle as much as this beautiful POS.
Edit: JV or JX by then?
It's enough noise to be very concerning when you have all the windows closed. General exterior/traffic ambient noise + tire/road noise + drive train noise + engine noise + wind noise. It's louder than the AC fan on full blast but it's all tied to the speed of the engine and tires which makes...
Everyone told me not to get a Jeep because they are overpriced junk. 2500 +/- miles on it. Did all the appropriate break in when I got it. I baby it in general and have only commuted back and forth to work with it and ran normal errands so far.
Was leaving work yesterday and the beat up...
Bright silver/chrome wheels are my absolute favorite on the bright color JTs. Can't get much more old school hot wheels looking than that. Hell, your truck doesn't even look real in this photo, looks like an RC toy.
Oh, they have an RC gladiator too!

EDIT: Posted too fast. RC is not available.
Wife just sent me this photo asking me if I was there. I'm not and that's not the one I saw this morning. Don't ask why she doesn't know what color top my JT has...
Edit: Looks like they may have replaced the Rubi sticker with a black one but then changed the lugs to red.
Took the wife's minivan (Grey Honda Odyssey) for an oil change/tire rotation this morning. Stopped at Costco on the way home. Walked out of Costco and came to the realization I have no idea where I'm parked.
Only need a real rough idea where you park a Gecko Gladiator.
