Actually got into jeeps later in life, only have one now
1982 J-20 Pick up 152,000 miles
1995 JY Wrangler 62,000 "
2017 JKU Rubicon 62,000 "
2020 JT Rubicon 6,500 " & counting
Today wife counted 64 jeeps today.
We were on a 230+ mile round trip into woods & back home.
At lease half waved.
Will make note that wife counted jeeps in parking lots too. I didn't clarify.
Strange, but while in the woods only saw their tracks & dust.
Much enjoy the short door, good in most parking lots today.
But what really makes the Gladiator tops in our family is w/ the wife.
She liked it when we were shopping for one but now. . . . she talks about it.
Keep in mind she is a retired public school teacher/admin for 45 yrs, now she is...
Not sure, then test everything & replace w/ your wallet. You still taught a lot of us....that's worth a few beers.
Or just send your wife in & have her try to explain the little light thingy & there is this other number thingy. Oh & it happened on her watch.
Recently we viewed an ad on TV w/ two Subaru meeting in a very muddy area & so they began their spinning around dance w/ flying mud to best display why so many need to go out right now for a test drive, etc.
Look Out Jeep, that muddy little thing that just passed while you were tip toeing...
Bed or tow limit. . . . . .
Honestly, I doubt if we would have bought this Gladiator if it were not for both additions.
We use the bed far more often than the larger tow factor.
Having done so we are constantly reminding ourselves how pleased we both are w/ this Rubicon.
Let's think about this a second......maybe single driving lady returning a wave might send a message not intended.....so she plays it safe & looks for see a lady in the jeep too.
Perhaps when Mr. Waver returns a wave to someone like our pretty grand daughter (who waves at cops too) & then Mrs...
We don't really come from ''the Jeep'' back ground.
Never belonged to a Jeep club but that thinking is changing.
We started w/ an '82 J-20 & a '95 YJ all bought used in NM & always kept there (until recent) for my many trips out there to ride dirt bikes etc. Then started to take NM locals out...
Our experience buying used has across the board been a good one.
We just research the vehicles issues currently showing up & make a choice to continue or to look at another type of vehicle.
Saving money is important but not buying into some real head aches may be more beneficial.
Just keep in...
