New user in Greenville, SC

[AleYeah]

Hi all. I actually signed up (to preserve my same user name on WranglerForum) way back in August of 2017, but just now joining the fun officially. Gladiator chat has been pretty minimal over on WF, so I figured I'd better get in on the action here!

My current ride is a 2014 JKU.

First Jeep I've ever had and I absolutely love it. I do miss having a pickup, having driven them for the previous 20 or so years before I got the Wrangler. I'll likely swap vehicles in the next year or two, with these candidates in the order of likelihood:

1. A Gladiator. (Assuming the initial manual transmission issues get ironed out. Where do things stand with the stick shift right now? Are dealers back to ordering them?)
2. Another JKU with dramatically lower mileage.
3. A JLU.
4. A Bronco. (I know. I know... but the introduction of another stick shift/doors off/roof off 4WD vehicle merits at least casual consideration.)

With the very welcome addition of a truck bed for hauling firewood and such, a Gladiator would serve the same purposes for me as my Wrangler:

• Daily Driver.
• Family weekend fun/roadtrip/vacation hauler.
• Very mild offroading. No interest in crawling, but major interest in taking rutted out forest service roads to hiking spots away from the masses.

Anyway, enough rambling from me. Lemme start clicking around here and see what I can start learning!

Thanks! Greenville is no Atlanta, but it sure has grown a lot since you moved down there.
