New Gladiator Rubicon

[Michael_B]

So new to Jeep and new to the forums. Just bought my first Jeep, a 2023 Gladiator Rubicon. The current rebates were to too much to pass up, sticker was 69.6K and I only paid 50K after rebates. That is only 2K more than a Frontier Pro-4X that doesn't have front lockers, sway disconnect, 33's.., Really happy so far. Looking forward to a Colorado vacation. There seems to be a lot that can be done with them, so much to learn.

Welcome to the madness that is Jeep world!

 

[Jefe1018]

It’ll cost more than $66k in the long run, guaranteed. ?

Lift, wheels, tires and regearing: $8,000 easy.

Front bumper, winch, sliders: $3,000

Radios, recovery equipment, misc. items such as antennas, fire extinguishers, off road lights, etc.: $3,000 easy.

All that plus the cost of fuel and oil changes for those extra trips, a lot too.

Welcome to the Jeep life, where the common man and woman will squeeze every penny they can to remember the things that make life worth living. It’s addicting and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Welcome! I i like that red! Just got mine a few days ago too. those rebates were insane! Paying 51/52 for a 70k truck who could say no? lol.
also, you may want to lock up your wallet. Mine has just about melted in the last 5 days from the mods ive looked at and ordered.

Wow, gorgeous Jeep! And ready to tackle the toughest trails right out of the dealer lot. If you have only 10% of the fun I've had with Jeeps, you are in for a treat!

Tires, winch, bumper, and lift so far and the JTM does everything I bought it for. 37s were $94 each thanks to the Walmart deal and i sold the takeoffs for $600. Made money going to 37s. Still see 8th gear at 85mph on roadtrips to the desert with 4.10s. All in I'm at $53k so far but I don't count fuel anymore than I count food for camping trips as a Jeep expense. It's going to be a long time before I hit $66k.

I got mine a month ago and it looks exactly like yours! My first Jeep.
Having a blast with it, and I've only driven it on paved surfaces so far. Hopefully will see you or some of the other folks on here out in the dust at some point in the not so distant future!

Thank you. Probably the Georgetown area this time. Guanella pass, Argentine trail/pass, Loch Lomond, Montezuma area. We love that area, but will certainly have to start exploring more. The issue we have is I will only get so brave wheeling alone, I was kinda hoping to eventually be able to meet/join some people to incorporate some off road adventures with while on vacation. If all of that makes. I spent all that money to make my wife, my dog and my cameras to new places, it's a good kind of crazy.

Congrats! I have the same Jeep, just a 2020. You'll love it.
