Hmmm.. If they offer this with the extended cab and 6.5' bed at a non-astronomical price I might be interested. I’ve given up on the Gladiator being worthwhile as a pickup.

Since when is ugly ok as long as it’s big and different and shiny?? I look at some cars out there and wonder what on this earth goes through the minds of the people 1. designing, 2. approving, and 3. purchasing these travesties. 

I don’t think there’s any dealer I really trust to work on my car. Maybe that’s because I do as much as I can and I probably don’t trust anyone, but every dealer service experience I’ve had has been mediocre to terrible. Anything I can’t do I’ll take to one of a few independent shops that I do trust, and most of those…

I’ve considered buying into one of those Maxjax lifts. What’s mostly stopped me is the limited ceiling height (9'6) and the Jeep height (6'6) which means I’d get a whopping 3 feet of lift. Less with the garage door open. That puts it squarely into the gray area of super easy to lift up and support but still awkward to…

I liked the Countach

I had to relocate the horn in my Jeep Wrangler to cram in some home-brew HID headlights. I cleaned the contacts and connectors but something seems to have gone amiss. When I test honked it I was regaled with the glorious, quiet hooooooooonnnnnk of a goose that was not only physically dying, but had given up all hope.…

I don’t usually do buildings/locations sets but this is cool. It’s not $200 cool, but it’s pretty cool.

Right? This was the biggest draw to the special edition. It didn’t need anything really different or special because it’s wearing an actual color. The Miata color lineup is so bland, a vinyl wrap basically needs to be considered in the purchase price.

I still have mine in the attic. I think the gearbox is shot and it’s missing a battery cover, but it’s in good shape otherwise. Maybe a 3d printed restoration is in order..

Haha shopping carts.. Send them my way

Yes! You are my kind of Jeep people. I have done exactly that and it is everything you want it to be. I kept waiting for the big snow storm this year but it didn’t work out. I want to put the windshield down.

Under the wrong conditions, this is about how I feel after long trips in a ‘12 Wrangler.. Of course I do it to myself, gambling with the weather while leaving my roof and doors at home. I’m ok with it.

Ok yeah this is awesome.

Yeah I’m just still bitter over the tiny bed, vast expanse of unnecessary interior space, and the ultra long wheelbase that comes along with it. 

Really depends what you want out of the truck. I’ll take a foot of extra bed and a lot less wheelbase in place of 2 seats that will sit empty.

I love how they tease us with what the enthusiasts want and mass produce what.. everyone else wants. I guess it makes sense. I would 100% buy this truck. The Gladiator is full of compromises, this thing is EXACTLY what I want. I refuse to pretend like this might actually happen though and I’ll resign myself to the…

WANT

I’m ok with rear view/backup cameras. My rear view consists of 10% wiper motor, 20% miscellaneous interior, 20% headrests, 60% spare tire.. The point is that if a child, teenager or normal height adult stands behind me while reversing, they’re going to get flatter. A backup cam is super handy. I’d also enjoy seeing…

I don’t have enough money for all these things I want!!

Know what I remember liking? Buttons. Dials too. They are always in the same place. After a few hours in the seat, you don’t need to look for them. The feedback from a button press or a dial click is immediate and positive. I don’t mind having a screen to display relevant information, but I don’t want menus to be a…
