I love coffee...this would be appropriate!

THIS IS A PHOTOSHOP, I don't actually have this decal on my vehicle...ha. But I do love the MOJAVE decal and orange accent.

A Jeep bragging about towing is like a catfish that walks on land. It might be doing something better than others of it's kind, but it's not meant to be doing that and it's not winning any land speed records.

Who cares about speed records while towing? Only fools do that.
Mine did as well as my Silverado did and got better MPG in the process.
Trying to pass everything in sight while hauling a load almost as heavy as the tow vehicle is just plain stupid. Those are the ones I see busted up in the ditches.

No one would buy a JT just as a tow vehicle. It a small truck. It can tow and can haul and can go where Id NEVER EVER EVER take the F250 but its not a tow vehicle. Really I got a JT to replace my old MJ which will be restored eventually. The MJ is shorter and far lighter plus very stiff chassis. The JT has better rear axle location and its easier to remove the doors

This thread is begging someone to be snarky and create a rubicon-style decal that says "Mercedes" or similar.

REALLY? Seems to me it does just fine.
I bought it as a truck - honest. I bought it because I can haul lumber, plywood, and TOW, yes, TOW.
I didn't need a full-size truck that you can't park in tight places or that's impossible to maneuver around town and crowded spots.

I bought my JT for two reasons -
towing my cars
and
hauling building supplies.
It's a truck to me.

And I'm not the only one who tows with one -

Been thinking of removing the Rubicon branding off my Rubicon since honestly I don't like the red with gator or the attention that trim level sometimes draws. But not sure what I would get normal lettering to replace it with there.

In other news I might have a 4x4 trail rated badge on the back of my prius for the lulz, hope nobody thinks that is posing.

Thats exactly what I did because I didn't think the red looked right with the Gator.

Being someone who remembers fondly the midsized trucks of the last generation (old Rangers, S10's), its odd when someone calls this a small truck to me. The max tow has the same capabilities as my Ecoboost F150 and its not that different than a king cab/short bed size wise.

It's a heck of a lot smaller than a 2011 Silverado - width and length a whole lot smaller. But I suspect it's not much smaller than my F250 was because my Silverado was actually BIGGER than my Ford. Sizes keep changing. It's a matter of perspective.
I think my JT is comparable to my father's 2010 Ranger in some ways - but it's bigger in some way as well.

Spot on. From my perspective the Gladiator isnt that small unless you are getting the largest fullsized possible.

According to ford, the base F150 is 209x80x75. Up to 250 long.

2011 Silverado is 206x80x76. Up to 249 long.

2010 Ranger is 188x69x66. Up to 204 long.

Gladiator is 218x74x75.

In other words, the Gladiator is much closer to a 2021 F150/Silverado than it is to an old style ranger.

Again, in my humble opinion, its not *that* small.

As to the the first part of your question: If you’re asking where I got it, it was a local decal place cut to order but I’m not happy with the font so I’m getting it redone somewhere else. Strangely enough, I’m actually having second thoughts on the red rimmed factory decal and am contemplating going back to the original decals.

Yes, I used plasti-dip for the rest of the badges, key hardware, etc.

Ready to help with the proper font if you are still looking!

Sweet, thank you. Let me think about what I want…
