And that is sad as it's the most problematic of all of the platforms with more crazies per 1,000 users than almost anything else.
It's ok to create a car theft challenge, punching a stranger challenge and worse. It's where the real crazies and bottom feeders gather.
It’s almost as if the owners of tik tok are trying to sow chaos and promote disorder in our society.

we’ve got to get it. There’s got to be protests in the street until the gladiator gets the motor it deserves.

I’ll take mine the hybrid variant pls for the electric town miles and a the occasional few silent trail miles.

i like the Ineos to. A lot. I think the I6b58 + zf8spd is spot on.

yet I still like gladiator more. In terms of character and straight good looks.

we need two things the Ineos has, the driveline and the gorgeous range of retro/stylish colours and colour combos.

why can’t we get gladiator in that retro blue like the tfl guys have and a white roof? Etc etc.

Come on jeep
We saw one in town recently, it is a dapper looking SUV but in person it seems a bit.. precious. The thought of having to find a BMW shop to work on the engine is a bit scary.

Thank God I don’t have a Tiktok account. I didn’t even watch the video….and it still makes me want to slap some people. ??

Luckily for me…. I’m a brunette from birth. I‘m a bottle blonde now…… (trying to hide my grey/white hair).?

I saw one at the local Office Road Expo; the interior is fantastic, I love that aviation style switches.

Well a lot of ppl don't understand the difference in suspension design non the less the purpose. Comparing a jeep jl to a 2019 mustang.....or a newer Silverado... I mean....

But setting that aside. I drive 08 sti and this thing rattles my teeth out and rides as stiff as an unloaded semi. But I know the reason and don't complain. Just like I know my JT doesn't ride as good as a 2020 ram 1500.

But I love driving my jeep .It's not a street queen and it shows lol ppl will do and saying anything for likes and attention these days.

I’d been driving mostly all front IFS suspensions for 20 years….. I’ve had a few older jeeps with solid axles & leaf springs (YJ’s).

This is the first solid axle with coil springs I’ve had…..
I will admit….. Over the bumps & such, the Mojave is much much smoother than any IFS that I’ve had. However, on the highway - there is a very slight bit of ‘wander’ that requires more steering input at the wheel. I’m sure that’s due to the combination of suspension, tires, and height. I’ve only had this truck for about 3 weeks (600 miles late….

People got to be reminded **it’s a TRUCK….and isn’t going to ride like a Corvette or BMW.

I am reassured to see the hate from "people" who don't deserve a Jeep.

Not if you ask the Toyota fanboys. They think Toyata QC'ed the heck out of the Supra engine and basically made the Germans reengineer it.

It's a different class of vehicle and people don't get that is all. Those that buy and hate it are those that had no idea what they were buying in the first place. They bought something for looks and are surprised it doesn't ride like the glorified four door minivan they had before it. Then they get lost when you try to explain the solid axes and suspension setup, and get even more lost when try to explain that for some the biggest part of owning one is the ability to basically free form lego play.
