New guy here

[Rigger4343]

New guy to the forum. Just thought I’d say hey and introduce myself.
Have not had a Jeep in about 16 or so years and now that most of the family kind of stuff is about done, I figured it was about time to get another Jeep.
Sold my Titan and picked up this really clean 22’ Gladiator a week ago. Only 26,000 miles on her. Damn near scratch free and doesn’t look like it has even been down a dirt road before.
Previous owner took off the original 32” tires and installed a set of 31” Michelin LTX’s. I know they are a good tire but I can’t stand the look.
At the moment, I’m not planning on any heavy mods. She will be my daily driver and will see only light trail use. I live in SC and love to explore things like the SCAR. Planning on swapping these tires out for a set of 33” BFG KO2’s more than likely. I also want to find a nice, clean looking and, small bumper that can take a winch and reuse my fog lights.
She will be my daily driver, fishing and camping rig.
If anyone has suggestions, feel free to share!

small bumper that can take a winch and reuse my fog lights.

Mopar one has led fog lights and can be used as a full or stubby. He'll then need a winch plate that places the winch directly behind the bumper.

It's spectacular! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome. What is the SCAR?

Also, check out the Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper. It re-uses your fogs, is light weight, and includes a winch plate. Plus looks cool with the tow hooks it comes with.

Congrats on the new truck! Start packing lunch and save lunch money for Jeep parts.

Hey Matt. Welcome to the forum. I'm completely new to jeep and got mine just a few months ago. Really enjoying reading and learning new things about the Gladiator. Just make it yours and enjoy the ride along the way.
BTW I'm originally from CHS SC. Based on your pic it looks like you may be on the coast somewhere.

Just a little south of you, Charleston.

South Carolina Adventure Route. If I am not mistaken, it was originally put together as an adventure motorcycle route around SC. A lot of Jeeps guys have started to run the route as well. Takes about 5 days to run the whole thing. I have done about two thirds of it by bike in three days. Its a cool ride, especially the upstate area of it.

Yes it is. I kinda figured by your occupation and some of the vegetation in the picture that you may be in that area. I grew up in W. Ashley and moved to Crowfield Plantation in GC before moving here. Still have family there. In fact I will be headed there next Saturday for a few days and will be going back and forth between GC and WA where my Daughter and Mom live. I'll keep an eye out for you.
