A little bit of background on my past car/ jeep builds before I get into the gladiator.
my first car was a Volkswagen Gti.
After 4 years of owning the GTi I got tired of only having two doors, and wanted something better on gas, so I traded it in on a Volkswagen Jetta TDi (diesel).
I built the Jetta into a really clean looking sedan that got 45 miles per gallon. Which was amazing. ( I still kind of miss that kind of MPG). When Volkswagen had their big diesel emissions scandal , I was given a payout on the Jetta and decided to get what I always wanted as a kid (and this is where the MPG starts to drop)
I built my 2013 Sahara adding countless mods and dollars to it. Two of the biggest things I learned was buy once cry once, don’t go the cheap option because you will regret it later. And not to pay for things on your jeep that you plan on replacing later, which was a big reason I went with a sport gladiator over an overland or rubicon.
On August 21, 2020. I drove two plus hours away to find one of the few Punk’n Gladiators left on dealer lots after the color was discontinued. I was able to get most of the options thats I wanted to start with. Coming from a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara.
you could say it was the prize at the end of the rainbow
