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

[tjbrown23]

Got rid of those sport wheels and mini van tires. Now I’m probably gonna have to do something about the silver trail rated emblem and get some of those door lock cap covers.

That looks sharp! I did a black trail rated badge and it makes a big difference. Super easy with a heat gun, fishing line and clean it up with some 3m adhesive remover.

This the Mopar oem version I got which should match your jeep fender emblem. It says black and Grey but its all black just not a gloss finish.

I love that! It looks dang good!!


As for the trail rates badge you could always opt for the Jeep Performance Parts Badge. It’s dang pricey but it does come with a free suspension and a very cool box. LOL

I love this colour! Its hands down my favourite on any vehicle right now. Just stunning. I would of attempted to get it if I didnt hate scratches so much

Mind sharing a photo of it? I've never plastic dipped something but in my mind it's "thick" and would fill in the dips and hide the logo?

 

[77badriand]

No problem

Plastidip is not permanent and doesn't last. Nothing wrong with plastidip, I did spray my $500 box trailer with it and it's fine but chips and peels up in places. I would never spray my $50k+ truck with it. 6 bucks for a can of paint or 20 for a high quality badge that will last the life of the vehicle.

how did you do on the trade? and how much a change was the payment? Id be lying if I said I don't think about this sometimes.

I couldn’t be happier. The dealer actually gave me a great deal on trade in. I’ll have to look at the papers again but I wanna say 43k ish. But that’s with me canceling all gap and ext. warranty and everything else and rolling that amount into the trade. No money out of my pocket for the deal and payment did raise about $70.

Debadged the side JEEP logo for some scrambler decals

 

[Jhall1981]

Nice truck! But I personally couldn’t part with my Gladiator for a full size truck. I traded from a full size Silverado to my Gladiator and couldn’t be happier. Enjoy your new ride!

I got out of a 2019 bighorn to get the gladiator. Couldn’t do it any longer. WAY too small, no power. Shitty MPG. And could drive straight if your life depended on it. Also took over 3 months to get the tsb done only to find out it was the wrong part. I wasn’t about to wait another 3-6 months (according to the Jeep rep.) for the correct part. Finally said screw it im done and went back to the 21 Ram. The JT had 4K on it when I got rid of it.

 

[Jhall1981]

Boooooooo

To each their own! You can keep the “Jeep Thing” and I’ll stick with Ram. More room, comfort, power and better mpg! And I can let go of the steering wheel and it stay on the road
