Hello Everyone!

I'm living in Texas and recently got into the Jeep game. I was looking to buy a new truck, and the Gladiator caught my eye. Now I'm just a poor teacher (welding instructor), so the Sport S was more within my budget. I also figured with all the modifications that can be made, I can make it what I want over time. Therefore I saw this forum and figured, if I have questions on how to do something, maybe someone here can help.

Thank you for allowing me to join.

Hey........welcome to the forum. :like: Lot of info here.

First off, you need to post up your credit card info for 2 cards. We will smoke the first one in about 2 hours. The reason being for the card info. We will buy the mods we think you need based on your wants. :like: Sounds reasonable.

Welcome to the addiction.
Best advice is scrounge around posts to see what has and hasn't worked for others and make educated decisions before you spend your $$$ on upgrades.
Lots of great info here

Yeah, that's one of the reasons this forum appealed to me.

Before jumping off the deep end, drive it stock for a while. Try and get a feel for the mods you will want to make based on how you actually use the truck.
Quit being so sensible. I'm already looking at a 6" long arm kit with Kings for him.

Well, that's not big ask. After buying the 2024 Gladiator on Memorial Day, the only things I could afford for now was some TAC Sidewinder sidesteps (the look and utility is awesome!) and some sill guards.

Yeah, If I start listening to Rusty PW, that will be soon.
Did that early in life with projects. Learned that lesson.

Start yourself a build thread. This way you ( and us ) can track everything you have done, and want to do. A lot of us (me included ) have build threads. They are a good place for info and idea's.

Yeah, I've already started a wish list, and that's just the cheaper functional stuff. I think I need fall to come sooner, too much time on my hands looking at modifications during the summer break.
