Yeah I forgot to mention that all the dealer will do on the trade in is call a wholesaler. When I was in undergraduate school I worked at Darrell Waltrip Honda in Franklin, TN and they usually had no idea what the older, high mileage cars were worth the the wholesaler kept a guy there on busy...

Sounds like you have a good plan to correct it. I am not sure how a steering stabilizer will help the wandering since the stabilizer is purposed to slow rapid oscillation like movement or keeping the steering wheel from spinning out of your hand when you hit a rock or something. My Gladiator...

A car dealer is in business to make money so he has to buy low and sell high or his business will perish. On the flip side private sale prices are usually so overdone that they are not a reliable barometer either. What someone is asking for a used car and what someone is willing to pay for...

I keep hearing people talk about how a straight axle vehicle drives poorly. Do me a favor and go test drive a Ford F250,350,450 or a heavy duty Ram and you will notice that they drive and steer very very well. If your Gladiator drives poorly something is out of adjustment, be it tire pressure...

I thought about that too. For it’s original purpose the Decked is a great solution. It is the family vacations that it is impractical. I may sell it or I may keep it. Yes I could use that money for something if I sold it but I would probably buy another gun or a bunch of electronic decoys...

When we stopped at the field with the elk in it a lady pulled up a picture that she took earlier in the day of an 8x8 full grown bull. He wasn't a 1000 pounder like I saw on the Mescalero Reservation in NM but he was a good 700-800. I was trying to convince my wife that we should get up early...

It would easily hold a small duffel bag or two in the big side. I have a big duffel bag that I got from Bass Pro that would not fit and had to ride in the trailer. I have considered a topper for the Gladiator but then it seems more like an SUV than a pickup truck. I would still be in the...

After taking my first trip wit the Decked installed I can honestly say that it is 100% non-functional for family vacations. The drawers are too small to fit a suitcase so all I was able to carry inside the Decked was my toolkit, which did come in very handy when I found a three inch drywall...

I took my LE with 37s on the factory wheels and .410 gears to the mountains this past weekend. I towed my enclosed trailer because the wife has an “antique problem.” The Gladiator pulls the small trailer effortlessly, it is only 1k lb empty. We do have mountains here! The fire of 2016...

I saw several Gladiators in the Great Smoky Mountains last weekend. We stayed in Gatlinburg but went over to Cherokee and Maggie Valley NC two days and saw Gladiators there both days. Even saw a couple in Knoxville as we were headed home. They are still rare. After the 10th person stopped...

Seems to me that you have a good plan and a good sense of what it takes to be successful. Success is not “the guy who dies with the mists toys wins.” It is “the guy who dies with no debt and the most toys wins.” Stay patient and stay smart and in the end you will be better off in the long run.

The main thing that I have heard is that Jeep has a poor quality control process. Every vehicle line will have the occasional outlier that is nothing but trouble from the day of delivery but, especially given the volume of new cars sold each year in America, they are pretty rare. Jeep tends to...

I don't really have many pictures of the bed but I was able to measure it last night to see if the front and rear are at the same level and with the Decked installed and the new #& inch KO2 spare installed the rear is about 1/8 inch lower than the front. That is not even perceptible just by...

Gotcha

I realize that the picture is a wrangler. But the gladiator's factory soft top does indeed stop just behind the rear seats like the one in the photo and has a window in it. You can already find bimini tops everywhere.

I'll just throw my opinion out there for people to consider. On the Gladiator, isn't what you have in the attached picture just a Gladiator with a premium soft top and roll up bed cover?

I agree and that was my point in my original post. It is none of my, or anyone else's, business what a person does with their property. Now if I were to come on here and ask about why anyone would let someone put ink in their body permanently and say that I am dumbfounded as to why anyone...

I said I didn’t read it. I was just answering the first post in my opinion

And that is why it is in the bed of my truck. It can hold the long guns on one side and the electric decoys on the other.

How does yours ride with the Decked installed? I have an LE with the Mopar lift kit and 37 inch KOs and it feels a little mushy in the back now. I haven’t measured it to see if it still sits level but it looks and feels close. I’ll probably leave mine out for most of the year so that I do not...
