You were barely 3 months old and now, we must say goodbye to you. You will be missed.

Jeep Gladiator Say goodnight, Gladys 14061B11-2A7C-4338-8E4B-6DC00555FA9C


Got rear-ended by a new KL ... driver was impaired, doing at least 100mph in the right lane w/ cruise control engage. How do I know? He kept hitting me as I tried to pull off the highway.

JTR is likely totaled as the frame is hecka bent.

Here’s hoping Gladys took all the pain In this situation. You can start over with another Jeep and only have 3 months of memories tied to her.

No major injuries so far, just sore, but I’m at the clinic to get checked out just to be safe.

Good attitude about the loss. I’m definitely getting another Jeep, unsure if it will be a JT. Been wheeling in Gladys and that break over angle is limiting ...

I haven’t done any research at all to verify, but I saw somewhere that a 3.5” lift and 37s is the equivalent break over of a 2dr rubi.

Pulling off that tonneau and any other "add-ons" is fair game, in my book.
The tonneau is pretty beat and bent but I’ll see if I can salvage it. Can I sell her to the insurance company without the hard tip? ? just kidding.

I'm thinking go for a settlement that nets you a JLv8.
He seems uninsured but the owner of the vehicle has insurance. We’ll see how things go, I’d just prefer to not take a huge bath on a total loss!

I am glad that you are ok. 100 mph? Lucky nobody was killed. Looks like one of the Gladiators drawbacks (long protruding bed) helped in this case.

This is so maddening, and why insurance rates have skyrocketed. No tickets, no accidents, but my rate goes up every year due to uninsured claims.

As with everything these days, those that do the right thing finance the ones who don't.
