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

It's funny because I was just reading a thread about slab culture and those awful awful wheels. Like Daytons I get but those take it to a strange and sad place.

I would say it’s a compliment. But then again, no one is as strange as me and tries to copy our truck

Is he dressing like you yet? Then I'd be worried. Next thing you know he's wearing your skin.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again!

I have had my LE for a couple months now. The guy across the street comes over every time I am doing a mod and quizes me. Last week, he pulled up with a Max Tow that was "as close as I could get" to mine.

Last night he told me he regrets it, because it just made him realize how ugly the non Rubicon is. :CWL:

I believe everyone needs a nemesis. Life would be boring if everything always worked out in our favor.

Have you considered swapping your wheels for 20” Gorillaz? I’ll bet he’ll stop following you down that path.
He's in NC not TX.....Slabs

Yep, funny you’d link this photo as that’s NYC. Before I lived there I’d probably say the same thing as OP. Maybe it was just growing up, but NYC made me realize I wasn’t special and no one gives a shit... but in a really good, no pressure kind of way.

NYC has that power. No matter how big you are in your own head, in reality you're just one of 8 million daily.

And while you are it, you might as well slam it to the ground so you can't even go over a speed bump with out hitting your skid plates

Happened to me years ago... and it was happening at the same shop I used. It got a little irritating because I was doing all of the research on parts/etc and he was just asking my buddy (who owned the shop) if he could order him the same thing.

I finally had to call him out on it... because it was getting weird that if felt like we were driving the same car.

I wouldn't have really cared if he was somewhere else... but we were literally going to the same shop and lived in the same (not so big) city.

Don’t worry about it unless you see your girlfriend passenger side.
If that's all it takes, he done you a favor.

Park besde it and wait or follow them home. It could be your doppelgänger and they may live in a house identical to yours.

I've had mine for 15 months now and have yet to see one similar until this past Saturday. Granted it was moving so i couldn't tell what wheels but same color ride same color wheels lift etc. I just thought well crap guess mines not different anymore. Even had few people tell me they saw me other day or waved etc.... yea that wasn't me.

Do you have a twin you were separated at birth from?
