I traded my Pro-4X and a 2015 Wrangler for one Gladiator. I am retired and my wife works from home. We didn't need 3 vehicles anymore. And, it is a Jeep.....

Greetings All,

I just picked up a 2024 Jeep Beach edition with 33 miles from Miami. FL dealer last week. Upgraded from a 2020 Wrangler Sport S 2-door. Very happy with the new ride, mods and updates coming this summer.

Greetings Jeepers! Picked up a 26 Sport-S with Max Tow package. I'll be retiring in July, so my wife bought me an early retirement present. Gonna take some getting used to vs my TJ.

Getting in the carport is a tight squeeze.

Long term plans are to pick up a small camp trailer and explore some country side.
I'm struggling to find a good place to mount my Yaesu FTM-150R ham radio, so if anyone has suggestions I'm all ears.

I've mounted my Midland radio underneath my steering wheel.

Thought I would drop in, just purchased a 26 white Willy’s. First jeep since 2013 that was a 4 Dr sport wrangler for the wife. I come from owning a very long line of Tacomas. Traded a 2025 Off road Tacoma for the Gladiator. Main reason is a lot more rear seat space for the grandkids, not so stellar build quality on the Tacoma and the 4 cyl turbo. Not a fan, has more power but can’t stand the noise.

I came from a Tacoma too. It was a 2022 and I liked it, but I like my Gladiator a ton better. Like my Gladiator more than everything else I have ever owned.

Yea wife and grandkids wanted me to get a 4dr wrangler, but have to have a truck for truck stuff. Traded the Firestone MT tires for falken wild peaks in 255/80/17. Lot quieter and smoother ride, but tires are heavy and mpg took a hit. Not sure I’ll stay with them or get the same tire in 255/75/17.

I love my Gladiator but would like to try a Wrangler someday. The Willys would be my pick. I actually would not want the mud tires either, rather just have some a/t tires for quieter smoother ride.

Hello all. Just picked up this 2021 overland about 2 weeks ago. Been reading any and all topics on here since. Figured I should stop lurking and start participating. Definitely not new to jeeps as this will be number six. Started with a Cherokee xj with long arms on 35s, to a grand Cherokee wj that got stolen, then grand cheroke wk that got wrecked, to another cherokee kl (for the wife), then my most recent heart break is my commander xk where the hemi took a dump on me right at 250k. But because of that I found this beauty so I guess it all works out. Already have a ton of questions as this is my first foray into the wrangler based side of things. Already found a couple of answers but will definitely be asking more. Also done a few mods on top of what PP did, like adding a dead pedal, tying in some led strips to act puddle lights tied to my interior lights. Next up is gonna be to get rid of the solver on the grille and bumpers and eventually get some armor front and rear.

Either way happy to be here and can't wait to make this thing mine!
