Hey there. With the recent events that have transpired, I thought it might be a good idea to document my progress towards getting my Gladiator, including the financial hurdles to overcome, and then when I finally get it, showcasing what I do with it.
First I would like to state that unfortunately, it is unlikely I will be keeping my Nissan for much longer, between the high maintenance costs and poor gas mileage for doing uber full time I will probably be trading it in for a used Toyota Prius within the next month or two. After I am able to get the replacement vehicle and start making a net-positive in my earnings, I will be saving up to help move my SO out from Florida, which may or may not included getting the Gladiator to serve as a towing vehicle. If the move happens before I get the new truck, I will be renting a U-Haul or similar to aid in the move, and then with our combined incomes we will be saving up for it together so that there are two vehicles for us to use.
Hopefully while I'm waiting for the money to finally be at the point where I can get it, better options will come out, including the late-availability colors. One thing I have considered doing to make my JT more unique is order it in the Hydro-Blue, and, as a close approximation, get a Freedom Top meant to be paired with the Gobi color from the dealer, as I've always been a fan of pairing the blue with the tan top instead of black, along with the tan seats inside. I'll post a photoshoped concept of it when I'm back on my main comp.
