Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[vacaedzzr1200]

Just joined, first Jeep I have owned. I have mostly been into muscle/sports cars and bikes. I am having a blast exploring trails around Western NC/East TN with my son and wife. 23 Mojave, 3.5" lift, 37" ironman mt, upgraded track bar F/R, dv8 rear bumper, red rock front bumper. Still need to get my winch and some more suspension parts ordered.

Very cool. I had a Kawasaki ZZR1200 that I always wanted to do the Blue Ridge and the Draqon. Sadly I no longer have it.

I enjoyed the Parkway; glad I got to ride it all just before the hurricane last year. The Dragon is fun if you can time it right and go on a weekday when there are less people. You should get another bike!

Good morning Vietnam!!!
What’s going on guys and gals. Long time lurker, first time poster. Just got back into the Jeep game. Had 2 lightly modded JKU’s in the past. I got the itch again and jumped on the JT wagon!
Picked up a 2020 and got the DW on the way home lol.
Sorted that out. Next is tightening the steering box a bit. Should be good to go after that.
Bought it fairly stock. I’m not going to add much more lighting but I did decide to pull the trigger on this wireless switch bank. Any of you guys played with these?

New member here. Just got a 2024 Gladiator Nighthawk last week. Price was right and only had 5500 miles on it. I also have a 79 CJ with a chevy 350/Turbo 400/ Quadratrac. I've wanted a Gladiator since they were announced, but life and price kept getting in the way. Now on to making it my own.

New here, researching possible purchase

Save your money and buy a vehicle that isn't as much fun or has as much customization or has any problems.

The smart parental advise - who ever listens to that……????

I just got a 2020 Gladiator Sport in Gobi Sand. I made a to do list for myself on day 1 yesterday:

Roof open
Dog rides
Truck stuff!!!

This is every bit as fun as I imagined it would be when Jeep announced the Gladiator. I’m looking forward to enjoy this for a long time.

Not sure how much fun you will have parking it at the local landfill/dump?

Just got into a Joose JTR. Been a Jeep owner for about 12 years, but always a Wrangler. Have to admit, I've been resisting the Gladiator for quite awhile for various reasons. But then Joose came out and well...I have moved to the darkside.

Hello boys and girls, I just got my Gladiator a couple weeks ago. I'm located in Eastern NC. I wanted one ever since they came out and actually ordered one a few years ago, but didn't get it because of a killer deal on a Ram 2500. Now I ended up with a killer price on a new 25 Mojave. Honestly don't have many plans on mods for now, lol.

Great form, lots of what works & don't.
Got a 24 Spot s. No tow PKG .
Will be using for personal and work, will be adding rack & tool storage, trailer brake
Had a 1998Wrangler for a while.

Hi All,
I grew up with wagoneers in the 60's and 70's. The first real date I ever went on was in my dad's wagoneer. Had a Cherokee in early 90's. This is my first one since then. I love diesels and could not resist due to the miles and great price. I'm 6ft 4 and could use some leg room, but it's good enough. Looking forward to the experience.

Welcome.
I am just about your height and I totally agree, another inch or two in the seat rail to slide back would be nice. But, well, it is what it is and now I really don't even think about it. Anyway, looks very nice and hope you enjoy it!

Same issue for me. My solution for trips out of town is to drive with my shoes off, much more leg room without shoes.

 

[CorvetteOJ]

Hey guys, allow me to introduce myself. I'm OJ Webster and just purchased my third Jeep. My wife is actually driving my old one, a '21 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. My new one is a '25 Gladiator Mojave. Although I just sold my last Corvette after 27 years of the Vette life, when I was always CorvetteOJ on numerous forums, Mercedes, Hummer, Cadillac, Silverado, and of course several Corvette forums. Just thought I would attempt to explain why I am on a Gladiator forum with screen name of CorvetteOJ. I am retired from the USAF at the rank of CMSgt (E9). I also retired from the State Department of Alabama, and just had my 79th birthday Sunday.

I do have one question, have any of you had any success finding the under dash connector for the Start/Stop harness. No one seems to know where it is located on the 2025 Gladiator. It is not in the same place my '21 Wrangler is. Even the manufacturer of the aftermarket bypass harness thinks it is in the same place, but its not.

This is my first post and hopefully many more will follow. I appreciate the organization of this forum, thanks and have a great JEEP day.

Good idea. I feel the same way when I'm driving and feel like the seat it too high. I just drive with my pants off.
