  1. Who got you into Jeeps and why did it stick??

    Ford, Toyota, Chevy, etc convinced me to buy a Gladiator because their doors and roof don’t come off…and I was looking for a mid-size pick-up. Serendipity!
  2. Do you regret buying a Mojave?

    Somebody beat me to it…so I have a nearby dealer that does 5% invoice so I emailed and asked for a couple quotes on trims because I liked the Gladiator and was looking for a truck that wasn’t full-size. The other part of the story is that my wife and son (and me subconsciously) knew if I bought...
  3. Do other motorists think your OEM LEDs are on high beam?

    I get flashed with the halogens all the time. It must be the ride height because I can barely see with them.
  4. Traction control on or off in snowy conditions?

    Having driven a 1979 Ford Fairmont and a 1967 Ford Fairlane Coupe until the age of 25, and also driving a RX-8 and a Prius through awful blizzards in Minnesota (don’t ask), I’ve managed to drive through terrible weather with not the greatest winter handling cars. In fact, my Gladiator is the...
  5. My First Bronco Sighting

    I thought the Sasquatch’s looked the best, and they looked pretty good with the hard top. I wouldn’t mind one alongside my Mojave.
  6. My First Bronco Sighting

    And they were all sold…in Iowa…lol. Sorry about the hijack.
  7. My First Bronco Sighting

    There were also two Launch Editions, five TRX’s, a Gt-500, GT 350, three brand new Mach 1’s, a Challenger Hellcat, and a few Gladiators. It was car nirvana!
  8. My First Bronco Sighting

    Saw about twenty waiting to be picked up in Granger, Iowa.
  9. Dealerships can be so sneaky

    Of all the defenders of dealers and MSRP on this thread, please explain to me again while people buy from Gupton or Spirit Lake? Is it the transparency of vehicle pricing? Having the pleasure of sitting there for four hours While the sales manager is consulted. Lord, how hard is it to post the...
  10. What Insurance Rates and Loan APR % is everyone getting ?

    Everyone, don’t forget inflation. With low rates and the dollar buying less, let the bank take the hit getting reimbursed with money that has less value down the road. The biggest consideration is to be prepared and ready for any contingencies in the future. There are many mindsets and...
  11. Drive through car wash... spraying inside the cab

    I believe mine comes in around the plugs in the drain holes on the slush mats. Only happens to me if there is a high pressure under body spray. First time definitely caught me by surprise.
  12. Temptations in a crazy market.

    With 20k on the Jeep I’d sell it. You only paid tax, title and license to pile the miles on it for six months. You will be out of warranty soon. In a year supply will catch up with demand, the used market will most likely come to earth, and you can buy a new car for not much more with a new...
  13. Buying a car for a family member when they get old enough to drive

    My powder blue chariot would have been parked because I wouldn’t have the means to pay for gas. Anything I wanted beside food, clothing and shelter I was on the hook for it. The philosophy my parents handed down to me was their job was to provide me the tools to earn a better life, not give it...
  14. Buying a car for a family member when they get old enough to drive

    ā€˜Living off othersā€ is living off others. Socialism is a political theory, or a catchphrase if you don’t agree with something. My parents can buy sixteen year old me a car and not be socialists. In fact, if I wanted something better, I better work for it. Don’t get the two confused.
  15. Buying a car for a family member when they get old enough to drive

    My parents and I must have socialism all wrong as we both bought our children starter cars so they (me) could drive straight to work. I guess one of them quitting their job to chauffeur me to work instead of spoiling me with a $400.00 1979 Ford Fairmont was a better choice. I guess I should of...
  16. Buying a car for a family member when they get old enough to drive

    My parents bought me the bare minimum so I could get to school, work and sports practice. $400.00 dollars in 1988 got me a pretty sweet ride. Fast forward to 2017 and I bought my 15 year old son a $1500.00 pickup (inflation) so he could do the same. It was up to me, and now him, to work for...
  17. JT owners age group

    My parents bought me a car…a $400.00 Ford Fairmont so they didn’t have to take me to work. It was up to me if I wanted something better…Now I fund multiple stimulus checks so I think I turned out okay.
  18. Anyone interested in an experiment?

    I’ve attached a map of the refineries, pipelines and terminals. Feel free to visit your local terminal and see whose tanker pulls up. Probably a better question is how often the station changes their pump filters and cleans the sediment out of their tanks…not a cheap operation...
  19. GECKO GREEN Gladiator Club

    I forgot to add…I might be just a little biased towards Mojaves….
  20. GECKO GREEN Gladiator Club

    I really like the color matched everything in Gecko. Also think the Mojave looks great. Hope I ever get to see one in my middle of nowhere neck of the woods!
