Jon's Jeep Build

[FREEZE451]

Thanks for the build thread. I'm order date + 5weeks on my Mojave and living vicariously through others at the moment. What's the benefit of this Armorite flooring? are you worried about water getting under it and not drying out as fast as it would uncovered? I have a '11 JKU that leaks (I think thru the cowl) and this would be a problem there.

So Far, I enjoy the quietness it provides and cleanliness it shows.

Before, the floor being broke up into the carpet and then mats was visually unappealing to me.

I haven't had any concerns about water getting under neath, but won't really know until it happens I suppose!

What's the weight of your boat and trailer?

What's the weight of your boat and trailer?

I believe 4,850 lbs if I found the correct spec sheet.

Nice. Too bad I am going to be strapped after the Gladiator finally gets here and I clear out all the boxes that are stacking up waiting. I would love to have a boat at some point.

Oh it's my parents, I'm the only towing option for them ?

Added a rolling BAK x4s:

Stopped at out new garage by the lake being built and couldn't resist the photo:

Then... Had to stop at the hunting woods, which they decided to have the public lawn cut for lumber on a massive scale. The equipment came by our land, approved, and made some massive roads; which going down in a Jeep Mojave hitting holes at 30mph plus was a phenomenal experience - I miss the awe of the Rubicon, but man the ride and bounce back of the Mojave is just sweetness:

Love this guy more than my Jeep; glad he likes it too <3

Well!!!!!!!

Big news, not the best news, but big news.

Yesterday I sold my Gladiator and purchased a 2021 Raptor.

There is not a doubt I will miss the Gladiator club, and the company it mostly kept.

My wife is a little sad, which is okay as I think it's prompting her to trade the Cherokee L in for a Wrangler (woot!).

In the future.. I'll be back in a Gladiator: I really wanted to experience a large truck for a while.

Ironically.. I did test drive a Ram TRX. I chose the Ford Raptor.

Godspeed and God bless this forum and all the members on it! I'll creep on here ever so often
