What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Rick_Jame55]

Did the rear seat delete over the last couple of weeks. Installed over the weekend. Just waiting on the latch handles to deliver and install.

I promoted it. I added a new daily driver so it can get a break from everyday miles. It’s now the off-roading, camping, and truck-stuff vehicle only. It’ll last longer now. I was putting miles on so fast. I got this brand new for 18k including sales tax. Tough to beat since I’m getting about 260 miles of range. I’ll charge it once per week, if that often.

That's why I use my Mojave for a weekend getaway vehicle except when I need it for backup for my DD.
It sits in the driveway all week with a car cover and battery maintainer hooked up.
I hit 13.5k in my first year and would like to keep it at about 10k.
That might be some wishful thinking cuz we like to get out whenever we can.

I’m with you. I’d like it to get less than 8 most years. It’s got 57k and July 4th 2024 is its 3rd birthday. It was time for it to get a break from the grind.

Ended up doing a full trim chop to the front fenders too. Used the @Metalcloak Split Rubicon Fender Bolt Upgrade Kit along with the Gutz delete and this fender is damn solid on there and I skipped a few mounting holes too.

all the plastic trash to dump after chopping …

My Gladiator always had name. Vinyl lettering across the hood wasn't something I was keen on never bothered to pursue that aspect. That changed.

That looks great! I actually bought the vinyl kit for that black strip. I love how it looks on your tailgate. With my Granite Crystal I thought it wasn't worth the effort due to lack of contrast, so the vinyl is sitting on the shelf. Now I may have to rethink. It really looks cool.

$18k !!!!! Am I reading that right? Holy crap. Funny, I've been eyeing the hybrid Camrys as a third vehicle since the miles are piling up so fast on the Mojave.

You did. Brand new. 19 miles on odometer. Sticker was 31,800. 15,350 in federal and Colorado EV up front tax credits. 50% off with zero negotiation.

And it’s fantastic to drive with more legroom in both rows than the gladiator.

Wow. What are the CO incentives like? Pretty sure the federal is $7500.

A subtle contrast was what I was looking for, my thought process was that it kind of makes someone look a little harder. I considered vinyl, ended up going with acrylic. The letters are 1/4" thick, the pattern was flat black for the bulk of the lettering and gloss black for the outline to give that hint of reflectiveness across the whole name (check out the "A") from differing angles as I'm driving by or being passed.

I learned a new thing. Colorado is normally $5,000. But if the sticker price is less than 35k, Colorado gives $7,500.

At least RI has an incentive. Many states have none.
