Nice rig!!

I loved my JKU as well. I ended up selling it last year. I bought a 2004 Jaguar XJ Super V8, HUGE mistake. Then I bought a Civic Type R, another mistake but it was a fun mistake. In the end I came back to Jeep and wanted the Gladiator. I'm so glad that I made that choice.

Civic type r was the ot non truck/jeep/bronco I considered when I got the JT. Unfortunately, the dealership wanted 8500 over MSRP for a market adjustment. Wasn't gonna happen.

Nice rims and wheels. Are those 35 or 37?

trading in my 2017 BMW M240i with only 30k miles on it when gladiator arrives. there goes my 0-60 in 4.2 with launch control and in line 6 turbo with 382 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, but well worth it!

If my eyes see correctly by zooming into the picture they're 35's

Great build! I'm also curious on the specs of the wheels and tires, specifically the offset of the wheels. I'm currently waiting on my order but gathering parts in the meantime and thinking of going with 17x9 or 9.5 with a 0 or -6 offset.

Was easy to take the lawnmower in for spring tuneup with the Gladiator. While I was there I picked up 2 10' 2x4's and a sheet of plywood. And the best part was I didn't have to find someone with a truck to help me!

I made the same switch with an F150 in between.

Loved my JKU and miss the manual transmission at times, but this JT is a much better fit for me now. Not a lot to say about the F150 except that it was an expensive necessity at the time.
