What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[drewcnit]

Went to check out the Nemo Tunnel, nice little drive through TN countryside to get there.

Nemo is an old abandoned railroad tunnel in the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area.
Came across a couple other Jeeps in the tunnel, tight squeeze but we were able to pass each other safely.

Yes sir, and the tires too!
So much better looking now!

That’s looks really good!
My ol’ 99 TJ was forest green with black hard top and grey interior. I remember everyone saying that was going to be such a bad combo because everyone was going green and beige/tan……..

Took it camping this past weekend. Love the RTT, even with heavy winds the James Baroud did not flap around (gusts to 35mph). I had an easy nights sleep.

Also, the Solo Stove is incredible, first time to use it and loved it. No smoke and I didn’t smell like a campfire afterwards. Easy to cook over with tripod. I highly recommend the Solo Stove.

My girlfriend and I did some mountain biking and 15 miles on a rails to trails ride. Wisconsin has some amazing biking opportunities and the mountain biking is really good!

What trim is that? Looks like a sport but how did you get the black trim inside of the headlights?

It is a Sport S Max Tow package (4:10 gears, wider axles, heavy duty rear springs etc.). I purchased the JT in October 2019.
I added the black bezels from Quadratec I believe. They do not make the black inserts that fit the Gladiator grill like they do for the wrangler JL. The JL has smaller grill openings that the JT.

I like the look of the Rubicon Grill and the black bezel edition with the Oracle stock copy of the LED lights gets it to look close to the Rubicon front view IMOP. Hood is only thing I will change later … maybe

Having 4.56 gears installed today. OCD offroad in Stafford Virginia. Great people to deal with.

Not today but M-W, drove from home to Raleigh, NC and back and averaged 26.6 mpg. Kept to the speed limits (except for where it was 55 mpg, I drove 63 mph ) but speeds were kept at or below 70 mph.

I see people questioning getting the eco-diesel all the time and I tell them that now that mine has over 18K on it, my economy on the interstate significantly increased from the mid 23s to the mid 26s. So I tell them that the EPA estimates for the diesel on the highway is like 28 mpg. Well, factor in an extra $4k for the diesel and the fact that diesel is like anywhere from $1.10 to $1.50 per gallon more than gas, there is no savings in going diesel. Get the 3.6L gas engine.

Got the bezels from extreme terrain. Looks great.

Hooked up my motorcycle trailer to go rescue a friend that ended up with a flat on his bike while riding down the interstate.

I wasn't expecting the huge drop in mileage, but it pulled as expected.

Took it up above the Columbia river and found some mud, traveled down way too narrow trails and had a blast.

 

[sass JT]

Looks a lot rougher than I remember 20 years ago!

I wish I had video of the backside of the lollipop… it was gnarly coming down. Hit skid plates and frame… a lot!
