Simple Jeep!

[Koryluke]

Hey Everyone, Jeep overland here in Los Angeles. Traded my GMC Yukon in on this 2020 in late 2019. I overpaid but I needed a vehicle and waiting wasn't really an option. So they took me for a ride, haha.

I have been slowly adding several functional parts that suit my needs. I would love to lift this and be more off-road capable (I haven’t given up completely ), but unfortunately, I spend most of my time on the road. The dirt road use I get is camping, which the Jeep handles well being unmodified.

This is basically a dad build, but I like the peace of mind of having a lightly modified daily driver. Previous vehicles have suffered the fate of my mechanical abilities.

Parts added
-Mopar steel folding tonneau cover
-Mopar receiver
-Mopar floor mats
-XG Cargo Magne-Lok Magnetic Sun Shade
-Baja Designs Squadron-R SAE Sport LED Fog Pocket Light
-Proclip Jeep center dash mount
-Rhino-Rack USA SG60 SG Roof Rack System
-Window Tint

Future parts/wish list
-Mopar lift (big maybe)
-Baja designs bumper kit LP4
-slightly more aggressive A/T tire
-steel lockbox for the center console

I have a few takes offs that I would basically give away if anyone needs them.
-Stock tires
-Stock bumper pocket lights
-Stock rear bumper bar? ( I read some people like this for wheeling because of the receiver dragging?)

Nice truck!

I hadn‘t seen that sunshade before; how do you like it?

Hey, thanks! I love it! It stays on when you have the hardtop on and just clips when you wanna use it. decent noise reduction and helps a lot with the sun. I'm a big fan of the build quality also!

I have been waiting for the 2024 Gladiators to be released. The truck is too expensive for what it comes with, and dealerships have somehow become even less hospitable. I will keep my 2020 JTO until the prices tank, or I'll try and grab a 2023 JTR eventually.

In the meantime, I purchased a used 2020 JLU 4cly for daily driving. I got a hard-fought deal on it. The turbo makes it zippy, and I get 17-19mpg here in LA(compared to my JTO 12mpg).

Obviously, there are a lot of great midsized trucks in the market. I'm no expert, but Jeep should probably address the powerplant.

Here are some photos of my new truck and my pups.

Thanks! The gladiator can only be backed in and the wrangler is backed in because the top is off. Too busy of an alleyway
