Gotta love those old jeeps. I converted my 47 to a truck with 25.5 inch frame stretch, V6, SM420, PS, PB, etc. and it’s been to Moab several times. No plans to sell anytime soon…Maybe I should put a Gladiator sticker on it, that would mess with all the old jeeps owners…

Great looking flat fender! Never been to Moab, but did drag my flattie out to CO one year!

Hello, thought I would introduce myself. I’m Mike. Just got a 2022 Gladiator Rubi. I’ve been in a built 2016 JKUR. We do a lot of overlanding. Located in the far eastern AZ White Mountains. We are at 7200’ in a few million acres of national forest.

Hello fellow JTers! I'm not a first time Jeep owner, neither a first time truck owner, but definitely a first time Gladiator owner and loving it!! As a hobby, I do all my own builds / repairs. Wheeled a LOT when I was younger, now that I'm older I'm just mall crawling nowadays. Just wanted to say hello!

Here's my 2021 JT Overland. Bought it stock in Jan of this year, and within a month I added a cheap front Amazon bumper, 4.5" lift, 37 Yokohama Geolanders on 17x9 Warn rims, 1.5" wheel spacers. My last JKU had a 10.5" lift on 40's, with all the bells and whistles, this time I'm being a little conservative on the build

Hello my name is Joey and I’m new to the forum. I’m from California and I’m looking to make some friends to go on adventures with. I’ve owned my diesel gladiator since September of 2022 and I’ve put 43,000 miles on it, most of it in Utah. The rig has treated me very well so far and I hope to keep this thing forever.

I’ve done some, what I think are tasteful mods. I’ll try to list them all below but I’m sure I’m forgetting something.

1.5” front teraflex leveling spacers
2.5” rear Clayton overland springs
Nexus adjustable track bar
Rock hard 4x4 upper rear control arm skid plate
Asfir fuel filter skid plate
Rock slide engineering slide steps
RSI smart cap
CVT RTT
17x9-10 RRW RR7 w/ bead locks
35x12.5 Toyo MT

Hey from NJGreat looking rig & awesome photos!

Just an older guy joining and posting to say hello. I lost my wife not that long ago, so now it's just me and the latest 'elder rescue' dog.

I'm doing research into 'the next vehicle' for me; currently I have a Dodge Hornet R/T+, and the car is a total blast.
But I have an aging pickup truck (21 years old) and that old guy is getting tired. I live on the side of a mountain, and 4WD is an absolute must.

I'm looking out a few years at downsizing to just one vehicle, and I'm looking at the coming hybrid version of the Gladiator. By the time I'm ready to make the jump, most of the 'launch bugs' will have been worked out, courtesy of us Hornet R/T owners.

I've owned three Jeeps - an '80 Comanche (great truck, ran the wheels off it), a Grand Wagoneer (good for humiliating kids in Hondas, but wow did the gas mileage suck), and... a Jeepster (which I swear was cursed).

I have a couple things in mind: I have messed-up knees, so I'll need to make the step-in lower to it more accessible. I'll start with changing to shorter-sidewall tires as a first step. To research that, I'll be looking through the forum to see if anyone has measured the step-in and seat bottom height (from the ground) on a Sport or Sport-S.

After that, I'll be out adventuring with "Dot", my Airstream.

And because pictures are fun...
Here's Dot, waiting for our next adventure.

I'm Todd and I live in Corpus Christi, Texas. New to the Gladiator scene but have owned several Jeeps from a 1978 CJ5 to a JK. Just picked up my 2022 Mojave last weekend and I like it so far. It's bone stock as of now and I have no plans for any major upgrades (that's what they all say) but I will be replacing the chrome lug nuts with black ones. Why would they put chrome lug nuts on a black wheel?? Looking forward to the community here

Great looking Jeep! You're gonna love it and you're right. Blacked out means blacked out.

...chrome lug nuts on a black wheel...

You can fix that in five minutes with a black Sharpie...

Welcome & sorry about your wife! I am a little jealous of that sweet Airstream, not gonna lie. Deff one of my dreams, Burt at this point I just miss the adventure of camping and will be happy with any trailer I can get.

Now that I found this thread... My name is Rich, and I bought this new 2024 Mojave a couple of weeks ago since the prices seemed to be discounted pretty well. I traded in a 2023 Hornet GT+ and 2014 Ram 1500 to consolidate into one fun all-purpose vehicle and stop paying insurance and taxes on two vehicles. I previously owned a 2018 JL Wrangler 2.0L so I already knew Jeeps are fun.

I have no immediate plans to modify anything. Probably just some minor tweaks to personalize it. This is just a photo from the dealership before I took it home.

I really like that color

Thank you Todd! I never owned a red vehicle before, but I like it more than I thought I would.
