Is it weird or a compliment if someone made the exact same Gladiator as me?

What do they say about imitation and flattery.

If he wanted to copy you he would have got the same top.
We both have the same top but yeah. I’m not mad or anything, I just think it’s weird

Don't go post on reddit if you don't want someone to 'copy' you. :). I literally have people message me for the exact build details and ask if they can build a copy vehicle. It happens, and they don't need my permission to do it anyways. When my wheels finally become popular, I'll change them to something a little more rare in my area, same with anything else if I feel it's not unique to me.

I would take it as flattery. Now if he shows up in your bushes its no longer flattery and you should address the issue.

I just realized who you are! Small world! Didn't know you had a JT. It's also weird because I almost bought the same wheels before I found my takeoffs.

I don't think I have to worry about spotting copy.

I almost kept the stock rims and was going to go with those tires because there is almost no other options (and I saw how they looked from this forum). The Fox shocks are super cheap on FB/Craigslist and almost did those too. Mine has 20% tint from the factory. We could have been twins very easily without much consciousness to it. I'd take it as a compliment. I get compliments about how clean everything looks all the time- IMO the overlands just look more refined with the body matched fenders and top.
