Good evening, All.

Long time JL Forum Member. Moved over to the JT Forum today as I took advantage of the current pricing craziness for the JT's.

Picked up a 2024 JTRX w/lower half doors ($73,500 MSRP) for $39,950 after trading in a 2017 Crosstrek with 105k miles. Couldn't pass on it. Good time to buy a Gladiator, that's for sure. 30+% off these days.

I just bought a '24 Mojave. I loved my '23 High Tide, but Friday night it threw a code for O2 sensor. Decided to stupidly drive to Vegas yesterday. When I got there it started sputtering. Pulled into a Jeep dealership. The Jeep stalled in the parking lot. So I walked to service dept and they said possibly 3 weeks before fixed. So I walked the lot looking for another Wrangler. Not much off on those. Then I looked at the Mojaves which I liked because of the suspension. Found one for $70K. Got the price down to $45K OTD and they ate my $6K in negative equity. Best deal I could get considering my Jeep was not going to make it back to Utah.

I went in for an oil change years ago and came home with a new Jeep. The dealership ate the oil change. :CWL:

'20 Gladiator
Big Al here. Have a '23 Mojave, which I've had for almost 2 years now. Hydro blue with a soft-top. Used mostly for truck stuff.

This is my second Gladiator, the first being a '20 Sport S, red with a soft-top.

I picked up my Jeep Wrangler after 4th water pump years ago and drove around the block and saw a yellow Rubicon. Bought it.

2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave
I just brought a '24 Jeep Gladiator Mohave home. I got my first Jeep, a CJ-7, in 1986 and now this is our 4th Jeep after a few years away from the fold. So glad to be back. :clap:

Congratulations on your purchase, Great Price!!!

I have never known a Dealer to eat anything except their young. Please check to make sure they did not add the 6k to your loan. They are sneaky bastards.

Welcome to the Gladiator Forum. Hold on to your wallet.

If they did add it then they sold me the truck for $38K. Either way I was happy with the deal. Technically they didnโ€™t eat it, but they gave me what I owed on my trade. $6K more than Carvana offered.

2024 Gladiator Mojave, 2020 Wrangler JLU Sport
As others have mentioned, I couldn't pass up on the recent fire sale on '24 Gladiators. Last week I bought a brand new Mojave in Tuscadero pearl (furious fuchsia for those who know they're classic "high impact" color palette). It's pretty much fully loaded and got it for over 30% off sticker! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ And of course I had to immediately join the premier, requisite, online forum ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Over the period of 4 days I went from not looking for a new ride at all, to flying down to Charlotte, NC to pick her up and drive her over 500 miles back home to PA. It's got some extra stuff that I'd have been fine without (power seats, technology group, leather). Though that green leather with orange stitching is pretty sick looking. I'm longtime Jeep owner, but this is our first Gladiator. And that Tuscadero looks amazing with my wife's Bikini Blue JLU and my Plum Crazy Challenger.

Looking forwards to all the tips, mods, and friendly banter. I already have one big question I need help with, but I'll save that for a separate post.
