Old Jeeper, I've had many, many Jeeps (and Willys, still have one, a 1953 CJ-3A) in my 64 years, but first post on this forum.

Yesterday I traded my 2017 Renegade Latitude for a 2023 Gladiator Freedom. Still in shakedown mode, I can't offer any opinions except "I remember THIS...." (road noise, stiff suspension, etc.).

Looking forward to learning about the longest damn Jeep I've ever owned.

FYI - I love when self-confessed "Real Jeepers" say my ink is wrong, there are "too many slots". I just smile and say, "What kind of bee can't fly ? A new bee. Hi newbie. Go educate yourself." LOL

Welcome! I remember you from the Renegade Forum.

Good morning everyone I am new to the Jeep Family and standing on my deck waiting for 9 boxes from MetalCloak today. Too bad it’s raining so will have to organize parts first. I ended up finding a 23 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with extras and low mileage. Can’t wait for this suspension upgrade which should be done by Turkey day.

Welcome to the Forum, from Cave Creek AZ.
Congrats on owning a Gladiator! Nice looking Ride.

Hello,
Verde here in Austin Texas. I just bought a 2022 Gladiator Rubicon with 7,000 miles from a online dealer in Fort Worth. The plan was to replace my 2007 2 door JK that I'm using as my deer lease jeep. I've will be installing upgrades/mods

and getting the Gladiator ready to swap out the JK. Attached is pic of current lease jeep and the new to me Gladiator. I had to have the Gobi paint. Apparently I posted in wrong place. If moderator can move it, please do.

Thanks for the welcoming. I dropped the gladiator off at shop today for first round of mods.
I’m looking at the led light bars for the roof. The one on the jk was nice while riding around the ranch.

Hello from France, I'm living in the countryside near the mountains, in a cold and snowy place, I'm owner of a Diesel Overland JT since 2023 already 50000km, and I'm a "happy customer", recently I add a "camper" :

and I'll be glad to share my experience and to read yours !

We'd be happy to help with any lightbar upgrades, or any lighting questions in general if you have any! If the budget allows, we'd suggest a setup like our Integrated Windshield Light Bar: https://www.oraclelights.com/products/oracle-lighting-roof-light-bar-jeep-jl-jt?_pos=1&_sid=baa2d21e3&_ss=r

Hello Jh42,
My friend is on his second diesel gladiator. He loves them. I was going to buy one but realized what I have planned for mine the diesel wouldn’t be a good match. It was much easier finding what I wanted with a gas motor.
how much does the camper weigh? Does it drive ok with it?

What does the camper weigh? It has to be at or over the payload limit right?

 

[JH42]

Hi !
in Europe, Stellantis imported only during a few years (2022/23/24) only the Diesel. And very few campers are compatible with the payload except, maybe the Scout TukTut (not available in France, but in Germany, expensive and underequiped) and the turkish Hotomobil Gladiator S :
https://getoffer.hotomobil.com/
Its commercial name "gladiator" is a coincidence ! weight : 525kg (empty)
I have a set of Clayton heavy duty springs, lift up 2.5', with OEM shocks, the springs are perfect but my shocks are too weak, I already ordered 4 Falcon SP2 shocks, not yet installed.
Have a nice day !

Good morning!

I'm new to Gladiators but not Jeeps in general. Just picked up a 2023 Mojave to add to the fleet:

We'll be using it to tow a sxs and for vacation desert exploring.

Along with my JL and the small camper it tows.

And if I really want to do dumb stuff there's my LJ on full width Dana 60s.

Hope to find and contribute some good info here.
