Hey guys, I’ve been lurking on the forum for quite some time dreaming about being able to purchase my first Jeep. I am finally in the position to make a purchase and wanted to see if anyone had any feedback on this Gladiator. I believe it may have belonged to a member in NC. https://www.carmax.com/car/24225241

Looks like its got some tasteful upgrades, aftermarket (looks like quadratic) wheels, bullet point mounting phone mounts for the upper dash cubby, a factory 115v in the bed, aux package, and the factory trail rails.

It looks like its also reserved, assuming that's your doing. In test driving, it may seem...mushy? The fox shocks made the rubicon sell like hotcakes but are woefully underdamped, don't let that deter you from the drive, as its an easy upgrade.

The only point of concern is obviously service and oil changes. It seems like it may have been a lease which would be nice as it was likely not abused as much as someone who owned it outright. Another point of concern is the recall on the clutch, make sure it's been done.

I've attached the buildsheet for this VIN if you're interested!

There’s no fix for the clutch

@ATL_Rubi that was my thought exactly. In fact, the only difference in this and what I’ve built (dreamed) on the website is a hard top instead of the soft. We’ll see how the test drive goes.
