Anyone else freaking love their truck? I’ve had my JTR Manual for a year and a half now and couldn’t be happier. It’s the best. That’s all.
Definitely love my 21 JTR Hydro Blue "Rubi"
2 years on and still look back at it in parking lots when I leave
Google stuff for it every day (pretending to work)
Check this forum a couple of times a day for ideas for it
Get it 2 inches thick in mud whenever I can , Then spend hours cleaning it

Yep, love it! Agree with the comments of costing many more dollars after initial purchase but, that was the plan (I think)... amazing vehicle and couldn't be happier.

The first time I went on a trip after buying by Gladiator I called my wife and asked her to send me a picture of it in the garage so I could make sure it was ok. Never got the picture and haven't heard much from my wife since then but the Gladiator still loves me.

anyone else wipe the pollen and dust of their rig each night with a micro fiber cloth....wait .....perhaps I have said too much

Can't say I can relate. I sold my 2021 Ram truck and bought a Jeep Gladiator that happens to have an open rear storage/cargo area. Haven't owned a "truck" since.
True enough

Have thoroughly enjoyed my stock 2020 JT Overland since purchasing new.

Now at 76k miles, the messages have started:
P0023 error code (cam position sensor bank 2) and intermittent "Stop/Start Unavailable - Service Auto Stop Start System".

-Replaced the Bank 2 cam position sensor - did not resolve. If I clear the check engine, it comes back on after a hot start (like a short 15 min stop at the store).
-Not due for an oil change, but close enough that I'm going to do one and see if that affects the P0023 error.
-Separated and charged both batteries (main and secondary) independently - both read 12.3 volts on my multimeter prior to reconnecting them.

I don't use the ESS - I press the start button, then press the ESS OFF, then put it in gear.

Daily driver - this vehicle does not sit for more than a day or two (slow weekends).
Time for a new main battery. I also had some misfires on 1,3,5 over 6000 RPM, but after the new battery they aren't present when I go over 6000 RPM. Also had the Avenger logo that would randomly pop up shortly after leaving the house.

2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. First Jeep.
Absolutely!

I have owned a lot of bought new 4x4s over the years (51 y/o) and while I have some things I may miss about a couple/few of them, I absolutely love my self-ordered first Jeep. 2022 Mojave. I have never owned a car (coupe/sedan).

All bought new 4x4s:

1988 GMC S-15 regular cab (lifted).
1991 GMC Jimmy (K-5), last year of the straight axle.
1992 GMC 1500 Z71 regular cab long bed (lifted).
1997 Chevrolet 3500 regular cab long bed (gas - lifted)
1999 Chevrolet 1500 Z71 extended cab.
2002 GMC 2500 Crew Cab long bed (gas).
2004 Chevrolet Avalanche Z71
2012 Toyota Tundra Crewmax “Rock Warrior” (lifted)
2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro (lifted)
2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave (lifted).

I will also note, that it is by far the best winter driving setup I have ever had the utmost pleasure of driving too. Black wheels picture below. Referencing another thread. lol.

you are not kidding. i bought mine Nov 15, 2019 and I have done over 20,000 dollars in upgrades.
That is the same lie I tell my wife. “I have only spent $20,000 in upgrades”. Unfortunately, I am fooling nobody. But, yes I spent way too much time figuring out what I want to do next with my JTRD as it has become my retirement priority.

I bought mine in June. I sometimes lovingly stare at it out in the driveway. I look for strangers to take surf fishing so that I have another reason to drive on the beach. My wife laughs at me because now I WANT to go to the grocery store so that I can drive. (In fairness, the grocery store does have a bar in it too with excellent draft beer choices).
What grocery store is that so I can visit the next time I'm down in OBX???

Not sure with these, but most newer vehicles when you replace the cam or crank sensors you need to perform a relearn process with a scan tool, not a code reader
