Funny how time has a way of changing perspectives.
Back when I first saw the 2024 grill design, I didn't care it. IMO it looked too much like the Renegade's grill (I'm not a Renegade fan). Then, of course, the more I looked at it, and compared it to the previous version, the more it's grown on...
?? Nice, but IMO, it's not the same, not at all.
Adding Rubicon stickers to a Sport is kind of silly (or pathetic), who is the owner trying to fool or impress? To me, it's silly and no different than buying a KIA SUV and then changing the emblems to BMW.
Where as physical modifications, like...
Like others, I didnāt like it when I first saw it. But, it seems the more I see it, the better it looks. I donāt know if I like it enough to throw down near 800$. It seems thereāre more functional mods to invest in⦠in the end, it looks good.

EVs are nowhere near ready for heavy vehicles, except for maybe short distances. Most people only ever use their Jeep for normal driving, and most of those folks would probably love to show the world theyāre ādoing their partā by driving an EV to save the planetā¦
ā¦theyāre also the same dorks...
I was also wondering why. Personally, Iām a big free market type, so the more options consumers have, the better it is for everyone.
Unfortunately, some people are going to push-back on EVs no matter how good they get. Itās classic resistance⦠CJs⦠YJs⦠TJs⦠JKs⦠JKUs are the only ārealā Jeep...
I certainly hope not, that grill looks too much like they ripped it off a Renegade. I donāt hate it, but I donāt like it either. Perhaps itāll grow on me over time.
I'm researching bikini tops, is anyone running Rampage's California Brief Sun Top? If so, I'd enjoy hearing about experiences and opinions.
Thanks.

It looks really good. Youāre the only Gladiator Iāve see with a slick tailgate. I may do that myself, I canāt stand the āJeepā letters and wouldāve preferred something a little more reserved or a full on āGLADIATORā stamped across the back.
But itās what we have and couldāve been worse.
My sister-in-law has a Renegade and loves it more than my brother (her husband). Itās a fun little ride, just not something Iād ever be interested it.
As to the red Renegade, I think itās hilarious and cool just the same. I can laugh and respect at the same time.
Itās like when my old Air...
I saw this āoff road beastā a couple of days ago. Iām not even sure what to think of it, beyond the fact that it looks like a lot of effort.
And, it even has three Jeep trail badges. ??
Possibly, Iād not considered that.
Indeed, and I agree. But, if itās a factory error, which I donāt believe it is, itās a reflection of other, and possible more problematic, quality control issues.
This was just something I saw in the wild and thought Iād share. I see odd Jeeps all the time...
From my perspective, thereāre two possibilities:
(1) Somehow the truck left the factory with crooked lettering on the tailgate.
(2) The owner took them off, saw the holes, and didnāt have anything to cover them with, so s/he decided to just āreinstallā the letters.
Personally, thereās no way...
While waiting in line to turn at stop sign, I noticed that this Gladiator's "Jeep" emblem was all askew. I'd like to think it didn't come from he factory this way.
I purchased this very carrier back in Jul, unfortunately I didn't have time to install it because my Gladiator was in a head-on collision a few days after it arrived. At this moment it's sitting in my garage waiting to be installed on my new-new Gladiator.
Even though I haven't installed it, I...
Yeah, I see your point, but my intention is sincere and not for trolling. I'm just curious as to why Jeep felt the need to add the flag to the Gladiator and then why the auto blogs even mentioned it. I'd not even considered "click bate", but that makes sense.
Personally, I consider myself a...
IMO Jeep made a lot of noise concerning their addition of the US flag being fist on US-sold ā23 Gladiators. When the images started to show the update, most people couldnāt see where Jeep placed the flag.
In the end, itās barely noticeable. Why tout such a minor modification if itās so...
