And on a whim I took a detour. My wife says I’m not allowed to go out unsupervised anymore…. She’s in my garage now.
In my defense the service department said I needed an oil change and the 36,000 mile service was due. I didn’t feel like waiting…
Nope….. I’ve gotten a few and it’s kind of nice (cute?) to have someone else “like” your Jeep but I put them in my cup holder and I pass them along to someone else as soon as I have a chance.
I’ve tried to sell my wife on getting a nice off-road capable vehicle forever. She basically says nope, she likes comfortable cars with all the tech doodads and when she goes off-road, which she now loves to do, she’d rather me drive. Got her a nice Mazda CX70 Turbo S Premium last year and I have to sheepishly admit I LOVE that car. It’s just stupid fast, has all the latest tech, a killer entertainment system and handles (as my father-in-law used to say) like a cat with sneakers
It's pretty neat that Jeep designed a vehicle specifically for desert running, this thing is literally built for my ecosystem. I crawled under it last night just to check it out and it's impressive compared to my Overland, and the Fox shock system eliminates the rake so no need for a leveler. I can comfortably run up to 35" tires without worrying about a lift or re-gearing and I now have armor underneath! This will extend my range a few more miles into the more challenging trails.

They're not for everyone, but for the target niche the Gladiator is a great enthusiast's vehicle, especially the Mojave. Had I not found such a good deal on my Taco a Mojave was pretty high on the list of considerations.

Those are the kinds of pictures and descriptions that warms my heart-Good Stuff!Wambli Ska wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2026 12:55 pm Truth be told by the time I came home the, "You did what?" was already turned into, "Ok, show me what you got." with a big smile on her face. She likes to go off-road as much, maybe even a hint more, than I do. Especially when my granddaughter is with us. She LOVES going wheeling with grandpa.

My daughter is a big fan too and we love to load up the back with guns and go empty some cases.
