hi ,from central Maine , haven't done much off road yet ,lots of old paper co. roads up here ,been through a lot of them with my last 5 wranglers over the last 30 years .Looking forward to a little exploring with the Gladiator !
You must have painted it black ? doesn't it make it kind of dark in there ,I dont care for the whiwe either , but I thought maybe a dark grey metalic might be a better choice .
Maine, you know, the way life should be ! 5.5% sales tax, $1400. Registration & excise tax, it goes down over time, my 2016 Rubi hardrock was 40 k when I purchased it, about $1k reg. & excuse tax , its down to to about $300 now. Gas is $2.49 !
I'm going to go out on a limb here ,after owning several jeep products ,and working for a jeep dealer bac in the early 80's , I really love my gladiator , and I think jeep has come very far on every level with these new vehicles ,and I think daveark said it best about folks not owning jeep...

No, didn’t really think about it because I haven’t done any mods yet, very poor weather here, would rather wait till warmer weather, I do plan to use the Tazer .
I am on my 8th new jeep ,I have used Castrol oil for almost 50 years ,switched to synthetic when it became available . I have always done all my own maintainance and never had any warranty issues because of it . Also , don't waste your money on those expensive filters, i've always used factory...
I test drove 3 JTs , all drove pretty much the same, I finally bought one off the lot, it came off the truck 2 hours before I saw it, made a deal on a Friday night on the phone, picked it up Monday after work, never test drove it. Took it for a 250 mile ride the following weekend after driving...
