I love my Gladiator, but if money wasn't a factor would you.....

Buy just a Gladiator OR

Buy a Wrangler AND a Full Size Pick Up.

I think I would buy a 2 door and a full size Ram.

Edit: My wife has a 4 Door JL
I traded my JL in and sold my pickup when I got the gladiator, so no. I kept the 8' utility trailer I had with the JL for the odd occasion I need a bigger bed - mainly its been used for dump runs and the like. The tow rating of my Silverado was only 500lbs more than the gladiator, so I'm not giving up much and the gladiator is as easy to live with day to day as the JL was, so basically I freed up a spot for another toy (wife has a fairly strict 10 car limit on me).

Right now I’d probably purchase the new GMC Hummer Electric pickup truck. This will be the new wave sooner than later as fossil fuels are phased out.

Wonder how electric trucks do when backing a boat down the ramp?

I’m sure they are weathered sealed to withstand rain & snow so I doubt it would be an issue unless it was punctured somehow, that being said I’ve never tried it. I had an 2013 Volt & it was an excellent vehicle but it wasn’t set up for towing & off-roading like they are now.

Once I get mine back, yes I'd keep it. BUT With money being no option I would need a M38A1, and some of these...restomodded daily drivers.

Semi related, I have a pipe dream of a grand wagoneer on an 11+ JKU Rubicon platform and a hemi swap. I’ve done a lot of measurements and it seems like it would work. The hardest part would be integrating the JK dash so everything worked. I can’t remember if a JLU would work or not. It might, I don’t think the measurements are very different. I’d have to look it all up again. Haha

That would be a kick ass DD once I got everything sorted.

I’d keep my loaded 2020 Ram Rebel.
Keep the Mojave.
Replace the Cayman with a 992 911

Well. Keep the Cayman and add a 992 PDK.

I would buy a shuttered-up warehouse and turn it into a garage. Then I'd fill it with an 86 CJ-7, an 06 Unlimited Rubicon with the straight 6, and my 22 Gladiator... I'd probably have a Ram 2500 for hauling, and a Hellcat for hauling a$$!
I'm still looking for the warehouse like that too. :like:
Not quite in the money is not a object category, if I was... Now for the rest of it, move my stuff in it. Retire, secure and alarm building, then rebuild XJ and MJ, pack up JT or LJ (after slightly refreshing) take off on road trip to Alaska and then to S. America. Scuba dive every great spot I could find too.

I bought the JT, but also have a '14 F-250, Subaru Outback and a C8 Corvette, I would still like to have a JL for a daily driver for myself...

Not allowed to have any fast cars anymore. I would get the trx 2 door truck, and build a JL or Bob-tail My gladiator bed. Already have a full size truck and my wife's grand cherokee.
