I'm new here. Greeting from Panama

[panama rubicon]

Picked up my first Jeep. 2020 gladiator Rubicon riding on 37s lifted. I split my time between Panama and Florida. Too funny I gotta grab hold of the steering wheel and pull myself up and in. Been a GMC guy for 40 plus years. Anyway, I have a lot to learn. Following..

Welcome from the Music City!

Welcome!! I traded a 2016 Canyon for the Gladdy. I never had a lick of problems with that truck. I was anticipating buying the new gen 2024 Canyon. In March of 2024 - I got tired of waiting while GM continued to drag their feet. I bought the 2024 Gladdy instead.

It’s been a lot of fun - so far - owning the Gladdy. Afterall….can’t get waves, ducks, or get naked in the GM. . <wait for it……wait for it…. someone’s gotta be THAT GUY>

Panama feels adventurous. Small country, beaches and mountains within an hour plus. I see very few Gladys here but it seems like a good fit-except the parking spaces

Welcome to the Jeep jungle...using the steering wheel to get up into the cab won't be funny when you have to replace it!!! You need to get add on steps or???

Thank you. Yes I have the straps now and of course the built in handle on the way up. Drove it for the third time today so I'm feeling my way.

Welcome to the forum. A great place for information and nice people ( a few odd balls in here). Here's the forum rules. If you buy an angry grill. We will disown you. Next, you have to post your credit card information. Should be 2 cards because the first one we will melt it in no time. The reason for the formation. You tell us what mods you want to do. We will discuss what parts are needed and use your credit cards. If you say you want a 4" lift. You will get a 6" lift with coil overs. We always plan on going bigger then needed. This eliminates the baby steps. Hope this helps.

Considering the many iterations most of us have through our Jeep builds your noted purchase procedure would most likely save all or most of us money.

Welcome to the therapy group. It’s okay to admit your addiction, we all have it. I would love to drive my Mojave down to Panama for some 4wheeling, and great beach chillin. Just wondering what you’re driving in Florida?

2016 gmc yukon. As I transition to retiring in Panama I was uncertain what to drive here. There's a lot of mid sized vehicles here, the parking spaces are small, traffic brutal. I enjoy the full size vehicle but I won't need that here. 2 months ago my former employee roled up in his recently purchased Rubicon. I was immediatley impressed with the style and feel, muscular, practical use with the bed availble for small hauling yet "mid size". 2 months later I'm exploring Panama in my Gladdy. The 37s do make parking somewhat more challenging here but I am quite pleased with my decision. Still getting accustomed to the characteristics of the ride. Final note, there a very few Gladiators here. I've been back and forth for 2 years running and have seen maybe 3.
