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

I factory ordered mine, so maybe that's why? Dunno.

I ordered my truck as well. Even has my name on the window sticker

Must have been like how the hoods are now. You get a steering wheel - color be damned

Dust happens when you drive them. What cassette tape is in the stereo?

If that’s a genuine vise grips, I’d trust it.

The chrome on the logo and the ring are enough for me. Looking at my wife's JLU, she also has black.

What no paddle shifters? Ballers have paddle shifters

If you can make them work with a manual transmission, then I'll add them.

40 years of one of those. My Jeep is my sporty convertible late life crisis vehicle. Loving every minute of it.

I have to admit, I'd miss my red stitching on my steering wheel.
Sure would like a heated steering wheel though.

I do love my heated wheel. I thought it was silly in the first car we had with one. So nice. Easy enough for you to add though.

Back in 2019 I did a work trip in New Jersey in January - just across the river from NYC. I was there for two weeks. We had a new rental Caravan to cart everyone around in and I was typically driving one of them. Every morning I'd go get the van and pull it around front of the hotel at about 3:45AM. It was so damn cold the van literally would not come up to temp at idle, so the only heat was from the heated steering wheel and heated seat until we got on the road to the shop.

Never was so thankful for a heated wheel until then

Freezing to death in front of a Holiday Inn at four in the morning.

I honestly forgot I had a heated steering wheel until the last road trip up to Colorado, when it kicked on automatically on a cold morning. Don't use it at all in South Texas, although I do use the heated seats from time to time to soothe an aching back.

Same, thought it was unnecessary and tacky. Now? I love it. (We may not have snow so far but still chilly in the mornings.)

Same. I use the heated seat year round, for my old ass.
