Happier Then or Happier Now?

[Rocksalt]

my doors sometimes creak, my visors both fell out but I repaired with Tacom things. I deleted my rear seat to make platform for pups. I replaced main battery and did the bypass on aux. My clock/ radio periodically needs reboot. Still on alum steering gear at 36k miles. Life is good.

Just bought mine in December, only have about 500 miles so far…really happy with it. Very fun which is what I was looking for. There is lots of boring stuff out there that rides, drives, better mpgs, whatever.

After 1-1/2 years and nearly 30,000 miles, I can say I still love it. I mean, who wouldn't love a convertible pick-up truck?! Only issue so far was a leaking axle seal fixed under warranty. Like many others, I still look back at it when walking away.

My relationship with mine is aging like fine wine. I plan to keep it in the garage for a looooong time.

Same here I just hope it lasts a long time

One thing I still get a kick from is watching other people do a doubletake when they see it. Never gets old! ?

After owning this Gladiator for a bit more than a year, I am impressed. I literally stumbled upon this JTR while walking across the parking lot to buy my wife's Gladiator. I have only added a few things to make it mine (ham radio, winch, and ditch lights). No lift or big tires (yet) and I like it just the way it is. I was a Toyota guy for many years. When I intended to buy my first Jeep, (November of 1981) I went with an FJ 40 instead, It's been that way since 1981 right up until 2021 when I traded the TRD Pro Taco for the Rubicon Gladiator. Never looking back. And, the JTR is paid off as of last week!

Well about 2.5 months and 3800 miles in to my JTM ownership.

My only concern when I bought it was the 3.6...........but I must have gotten the factory freak, because I'm not disappointed at all.

The really bench test for it was a good road trip. Well after Christmas I made a trip up to Maine from Maryland and I didn't hate it.....actually enjoyed cruising along at 75-80mph both ways.

Agreed. I test drove a Mojave again a few days ago. This time I got on it a bit and was pleasantly surprised at the get up and go. For it being the same engine that's in my JK, it absolutely has more spunk. Transmission I'm sure helps which is also the same trans that's in my Supra and love.

Definitely happier now, mainly because I sold it.

Are we talking about our trucks or significant others? If truck I continue to be satisfied even tho it is loud, rides rough, and a huge money pit. If the later.....ummmm uhhhhh it is loud, rides rough, and a huge money pit......crap I married my truck!


BTW, any of you send this to her and you are dead to me!

I bought my diesel back in 2020. Ordered it in August 2020. Got the keys mid-October 2020.
By January 2022 I had been all over the country in it, and put 43k miles on it.
Zero issues, no complaint. Nothing but awesome.

In mid-January 2022 I fell asleep while driving and completely wrecked it. But, knowing how much I enjoyed it, and the long term plans I had for it (20 years or more), I knew I was buying another one.

Mid-March 2022 I purchased the white one I have now from Long Range America with low mileage. Flew to Idaho to go meet them and do the deal.

I now have around 35k miles on this one, and it too has been all over the country!
Both of them diesels, both of them absolutely amazing vehicles.

I've never had issues with either of them at any point. I'd buy another right now, but I don't need two ? .. plus, I still have my KJ

same as you more than happy with mine.
he's almost like i would like it , just a few minors mods and will be perfect to me.
i just noticed 2 things since i own it :

1) i wish i could be bodybuilder ( not sure its the right word) coz i would love to adapt a mojave hood with the rubicon air grill
2) i wish i could be mechanic coz since now my only big issues are with the dealer(s) last event big klonk when turning , after they checked , its the trackbar who hasto be changed .... i checked myself the torque and ... wasnt correct now noise is gone

and finally my obsession for a V8 could lead me to a swap. ( if only i was sure the wouldnt see anything at my yearly road inspection.... and because im stupidly in love with good old thing i would probably go for a 426 ....

the only one who's sad after owning a jeep for 2 years is the bank account
