June 2020 build, picked up in Sept 2020, 27500 miles so far.
Engine replaced at 5k
Steering gear recall replaced 10k
Transmission replaced at 15k
Transfer case replaced at 20k
Rear axle shaft leak, replaced 21k
Battery dying, replaced batteries 2x, resolved with proper grounding 23k
Leaking oil, seals replaced 27k

Even with all the issues this is my favorite vehicle that I’ve owned, 4 years and I still can’t help but look back at it and smile every time I walk away from it. Won’t be getting rid of it anytime soon.

2020 purchased new in August 20. At about 26k. Replaced the batteries earlier this year as PM before a trip. Won’t be replacing it anytime soon. Love this thing so much we added a new JL a few months back.

2020 Rubicon. In service date was October 2019. I purchased used with about 15k in May 2021. Just turned 100k a week or so ago.
Mechanically it’s been flawless.
Had a hood paint issue and now has hinge paint issue.
Lots of fluid changes, swapped batteries a year or so ago. Getting ready for 3rd set of tires. Still on original brakes!

Bought my 2020 Overland on 6/6/20 out of necessity, a gal totaled my 2007 Dakota and since it was the start of Covid I couldn't order a Gladiator the way I would have, so mine is pretty well loaded. 50 K miles so far and all I've done besides regular maintenance is replace the front brakes,
and one set of tires, yes I still have the orig batteries but I get signs from time to time that the Aux is on its way out.
Don't ask about mods, it seems they never end, it's fun as long as the money holds out. No dealer
issues either but then I've used the same one since 1986, we resolve our differences when they
happen. Sometimes I call it "D-Day" because that was the day I took it home but it is also known
as Olive Oyl.

Still here 2020 Gator Mojave, picked up in July 2020 fresh off the truck. Still going strong at 35k. I kept it relatively stock with very few mods like steel bumper, winch, 2” AEV lift, and 37” on stock wheels…

That might be the only white one I've ever seen that I like! Nice rig; like the slant on the cap.
