I want to see this motor pick up a lot of real world mileage and get some kind of idea about how it holds up, and if it is junk, or not. Then I would think about a swap…if someone made a kit. I would take a Hemi too, or an LS…I don’t really care, when the time comes, if I can afford it…
Social security is already going to owe more than it can pay out in less than ten years. We don’t need to create anymore government programs that need funding. This is way off topic though. Yes, I think tariffs will make the prices of gladiators go up.
I can’t help but weigh in on one thing here…I don’t know who is going to pay for UBI, but we are too far in debt, as a country, to be able to afford that…
As far as tariffs go, they will raise prices. It doesn’t mean that they can’t be a successful part of a larger plan, but prices will go...
Does anyone know what this front bumper is? Is it welded on, or is it a bolt on. I am wondering why it seems to be left on what was a vehicle that seems to otherwise have been returned to stock…
I had to change wheels to run the Apex disconnects with my tires. I think if you change the wheels, you will be OK in this regard. Whether the axles hold up to 40s otherwise, or not, I cannot say.
I will agree that it is way over-priced. Everything thing is now though, but Stellantis has taken things to extremes with Jeep. However, I daily drive mine now… I have for several months. I sold my car because o preferred the jeep. Except for mpg, I think it’s a wonderful daily driver.
I crossed shopped the ZR2 Colorado. It was the only thing I considered besides my Gladiators. Their transmission issues scared me off, that and the fact I have always been a jeep guy. If I didn’t have the gladiator, I would have a ZR2. Nonetheless, I still prefer the simplicity of a solid axle.
