I thought this was a thread about your favorite part “on” your Jeep,
which made me think, obviously, of the 3rd bolt on the front passenger wheel, but my favorite part about my Jeep is being able to fit a sheet of plywood in the bed.
Personally, I am a big fan of all 20 lugs and their matching lug nuts.

I'm surprised how often I actually use the blue took speaker.
I also like that there's no such thing on the road as a "Gladi-Onco"

My other ride is a 2 Door Bronco 6G. I love it, but there is just so little room and any passengers other than my Pug just have a dickens of a time getting in and out. When I drive the Gladiator....I feel like I'm in a limo (with a bed)

2020 JT Overland
2020 Overland. 58k miles.

I bought a vehicle to do everything I need. Commute in comfort, have the ability to take me anywhere I want to go no matter what the conditions are and tow and haul. It does all of that remarkably well. The biggest surprise has been the towing and hauling. I was hoping would do as well as my Canyon. It turns out it does both better and my Canyon had a good payload and tow rating and did both just fine.

Caveat is I added a take off Rubicon LE suspension when it was new. It changed the ride, handling, and tow/haul ability by a great deal.

What's my favorite part about my JT..........let me think.........hmmmm.............hmmmmm.......

The motor. It's a diesel. It's the prefect motor for the JT. It's got torque and fuel mileage. Plus i didn't have to regear for 37" tires. A 5.7 Hemi would have been a close 2nd if it was offered. Just wish the rear diff would be like a Power Wagon rear diff. LSD plus electric locker.

It goes everywhere I want to go. It looks good, I get lots of complements, lots of waves. Whenever I miss my old GMC Sierra, I listen to the complements. Its a good truck, all that I really need.

Saturday, I got stuck in some sugar sand when going up a hill in 4-high....Since I was stopped anyway, I shifted to 4-low. My JT laughed and continued up like nothing had happened. ...and never looked back, asking for more.
I leave it dirty, I get more waves that way. Whenever I give a friend a ride, the first thing I hear is "WOW" when they climb inside. (Rubicon leather package)

This is a hard question... Paid off, solid axles, actual lever to shift into 4×4, so many things to choose just one.
Now vs my Comanche no rust, more leg room. "I've started working on it" so the JT is drivable so a win there definitely. The Gladiator actually tows better than my Comanche, well stops better when towing. Comanche is lighter in weight and didn't hunt gears.
JT vs Wrangler Unlimited only 2/5 the miles on it. The favored engine is the latter two or four actually the 4.0 The Wrangler tows better "power" but the JT handles better when towing and tons better braking. My one XJ wouldn't really notice towing or stopping really... 4:56 gears, large brake drums in rear, acted like a tractor unless in mud. 🙄
