Lame but...name or theme for your Gladiator?

[Gladiatorx2]

I know that it's kind of lame to some, so I will explain where I am coming from. I have 8 grandkids and my previous Rubicon was built at a dealership in Louisville, Kentucky as a "Bigfoot Edition". It included the lift, 37's, some trim stuff and the prerequisite decals. So they called that one Bigfoot.

It was traded in on this 2023 Sport S Max Tow so they wanted to name this one. They said that it was like Bigfoot but " white " so we settled on " Yeti". So I added a small lift, 35's ,some trim and the prerequisite decals. And some pillows for them too.

They love it and participate in adding decals and trim stuff! It's nice to get them outside doing things and they constantly want to go on what they call " Jeep rides ". They really like water crossing's.

Anyone else have children/grandkids that named or participated in a theme for there Gladiator?

I added a Mojave grill and wheels as well. Added Oracle LED bulbs to headlights and fog lights also. Soon to add Rubicon bumpers and bed sliders. Already added Rubicon rock sliders. Thanks to some members and previous members I have spent very little so far. The total is probably less than $ 1,500 for everything. I know this sorta thing is not for everyone but we like it!

My truck isn't named anything but my 13 yo son wants to call it "Mine" when he turns 16. However I think that is awesome for you and your grandkids and will help continue the Jeep love for the next generation!

I have two daughters and each have four children. My oldest daughter was brought home after being born in a CJ5 with a 304/4 spd with a soft top. My youngest daughter made that trip in a CJ7 with 258/5 speed with soft top as well. During there " Barney " faze I painted the CJ7 Barney Purple and purchased a huge Barney teddy bear to ride with them. We went on more trails than I can count. I have probably owned 25 Jeeps from mild to wild. I have to say as a day to day driver and as much capabilities as it has the Gladiator is my favorite.

My kids named mine "Mullet" because its a jeep in the front and a truck in the back.

Mine's called "The Covered Wagon".
We do mountain passes, drink creek water and get the shits, all that.

My Mojave is named “Izzy 3”…..

Back 25 years ago (about 1999), we bought a 1992 Wrangler Islander (YJ) that we built to hit the rocks (street legal). 4.5” lift, 33’s, Dana 44’s (from Grand Wagoneer), ARB lockers, 4.56 gears, roll cage, etc. Unfortunately… Izzy was in an on-road accident and was totaled (2003). We bought Izzy back from the insurance company. I don’t have any photos easily accessible… but if ya’ll really wanna see it, I can dig for it.

We found a 1994 Wrangler (YJ). Swapped everything over from Izzy - Izzy II was born. Sold Izzy II around 2006 ish. I’d love to know what happened to it… if its still around.

We were without a Jeep for a very long time…. And jumped back in this year. Keeping with tradition…. Izzy 3

No plans to for any lifts or doing any offroading outside of a level 1 or dirt road - but maybe in a few years. This is a new 24.

I really like your Gladiator! I had a body color hardtop and a painted to match topper on my Rubicon. I wanted a soft top this time to add the soft topper on back as you did. I am a big fan! Oh, the name fits well.

My grandkids calls mine Grey wolf because that is my native name and the color of my JT.

I bought my 2021 Rubicon used. The previous owner was apparently a Star Wars fan, and in particular, the Empire. I pretty much have a storm trooper truck. For the last couple years I have been introducing my almost 8 year old boy to Star Wars (I am a fan, but I never would have done my truck like this). I asked him what our truck should be named. He said "TIE, like a TIE fighter". He also told me our truck is not a girl, but definitely a boy.

personally I think naming vehicles is lame/childish........but, hey what ever tickles your pickle

But I also play the Duck and Wave game........so take my stance with a grain of salt and shot of tequila.........

I'm 45, so I will call my own ass out

my twin 9 year old grandsons love going for a ride in "Max" They like the book "where the wild things are!" too! Always ready for a rumpus!

Mine is the unofficial “Golden Boy” Snazzberry JT with gold accents. My oldest son has golden red hair and I always call him the golden boy. So it fits with my Jeep lol. Almost put hood decals on but I’m getting some bubble guts on my hood. So I’ll wait to name it until I go through the process of getting the hood fixed.
