Well, I kinda fell into owning a Jeep Gladiator myself. I have owned pretty much nothing but Toyota since way back in 1981 when I had the opportunity to buy a CJ5. I remembered back in high school that one of my friends had an FJ40. It was a 1968 version that his family had since it was new. We...
The wife had "full time 4 wheel drive' on her 2018 4Runner. When she got her 2022 Wrangler she now has the regular 4 wheel drive through engagement of the select lever, She is on it like white on rice whenever she feels she needs it (even on the fly). Not even missed it (however we do live in...
My blind spots are on the other side of the mirror. I have a blind spot that I can
t see some things in the intersection as I approach to pass through and the side mirrors hide what is to the right of me in the intersection ahead. I use the little mirrors glued to the sideviews to keep an eye on...
Remember, getting the signal from the redio to the antenna with GMRS can be a little bit of a challenge. The cable (or better understood as a pipe) will handle the signal to the antenna, but there are some restrictions in the pipe (cable) at the GMRS frequencies. It is something that we deal...
Coming from someone who has owned a few off road vehicles, I will tell you that this Gladiator has been the most capable (factory) vehicle I have ever owned. There is only 1 exception and that was my Toyota FJ40 from back in the 1970-80's.
My Rubicon Gladiator has everything that could be...
Making it yours is worth about 10 points in the "feel good" area. I remember when I got my new Ked's sneakers as a kid, I could actually run faster and turn corners faster!
Maybe the feeling is from the front end riding a bit higher? I do remember when I picked up a load at Home Depot, the back...
After owning this Gladiator for a bit more than a year, I am impressed. I literally stumbled upon this JTR while walking across the parking lot to buy my wife's Gladiator. I have only added a few things to make it mine (ham radio, winch, and ditch lights). No lift or big tires (yet) and I like...
When we started looking for my wife's Wrangler, we found a Snazzberry one with matched fenders and roof. I did not have ACC nor LED lights but everything else. It's a 4 so it has decent gas mileage. She never takes it off the pavement. I do wish it had the adaptive cruise and LED light group...
Thinking about this one and I would spend the money on a decent winch. Lockers are nice, but there (adding lockers) may be more to it than just adding a winch and recovery gear.
I love the lockers on my Gladiator, and I am glad I have them, but if i was in your sitch; adding a winch would go a...
I have used Hotheads on 2 of my jeeps. One is a gladiator and that made lots of difference in the sound (I used sound assassin on all surfaces I could). It made a huge difference on the wire's Wrangler and on my Overland Gladiator. My Gladiator Rubicon had OEM headliners and in comparison, the...
2 chips, no cracks (yet), but that was after the first 2 weeks. Since then, I have tried to be more cautious, but there are a lot of folks hauling gravel....
I just dropped my operating costs by $520 a month. I paid off the Jeep. The only things I added to my JTR was the winch on the front, Ham Radio, ditch lights and some minor stuff. I was fortunate to find this one on the lot with just about everything (bed liner, LED Light Group, ACC, Aux...
I could see the effect on the cab! Open the rear window when you drive down the road and never ever have to deal with those nasty farts because of the "venturi effect"!
They're up! The wife got a new UTV (because she doesn't want to "pinstripe" ) her Wrangler [pictured on the left here]. Merry Christmas to you and everyone who rides in your Jeeps!
