Doesn't appear as much information here about the hinge paint peeling off... is it just as common on the Gladiator as it is on the JL? Or are fewer Gladiators sold so fewer reports?
When I bought my JL 2021, Freedom -- I was aware of certain things and not of others. One of the things that kills me is that I didn't know about the hinge corrosion. Mine is fine, but it's always something I'll wonder about.
On the Gladiator... what is there to look for? Same issues? Rear...
