What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

Sweet I bought 75w140 I didn't know what I should put in the gear box for the rear I have been doing my break in for new gears

Yeah 75w140 is good for towing & high heat

Went out to the Grasslands to practice a bit of long range shooting and came across a couple of very unprepared firefighters. They didn't even have a shovel.

Got rear ended. It started nice with the top off...
Haven't even paid my first monthly payment.

Jeez, why can’t people drive these days??? Sorry to hear, but glad it wasn’t worse.

Man talk about unexpected depreciation :/
Sorry to see that man, though it doesn't look too terrible from the pictures

Let me guess, the Nissan person was playing with their phone??

Its not to bad. They'll probably replace the rear tail light and the tail gate.
It doesn't look like anything else is damaged.
I plan on keeping this for a long time. I'm going to depreciate it more on the trail.. So I'm not too concerned about that.

Not sure, but it wasn't to bad. I feel worse for them , their vehicle may be totaled.

Make sure that whomever you have fix it takes a good look at the entire frame from front to back as well as the cabin mounts, may seems silly but things can get damaged just from the force of it and it'd suck to have some unknown damage become a problem down the road.

I'll have them check over everything. Thanks

Also look into diminished value, even though it’s a small amount of damage you could get about 5k.?

my civic got side swiped on the front bumper the first month I had it, and they ended up giving me $2400 without much argument, the JT is about double the cost of a civic ...

I agree. Rugged Ridge has a winner with this one; tucks in nice and tight and mounts the winch nice and low. Personally I like it better than the factory steel bumper. I would just need to figure out how to swap out the hooks for D-ring mounts as I find the hooks a little too "in your face" for my taste.

The stamped steel bumpers look so much better than the welded up steel plates... My opinion...
Just a more modern look with the curves and contours..

Drove past the Moab exit. Quite beautiful this morning. Going to be some serious mud and snow wheeling over the next 10 days. Son and I are off on a chilly elk hunt.

 

[G8R]

Yup. Lots of mud. Side tour into the San Rafael Swell to do some last minute sighting in and some crawling. Maybe I should have bought a red JT???

 

[G8R]

Anything above 8500 feet has 12” of old hard snow. Half a day in, stuck 4 times. Chained up for almost a half tank of gas so far.

Added some color
