    Gladiator Sport S vs. Gladiator Rubicon?

    I was in the same boat, and chose the max tow package. The biggest advantage is 500lbs more payload, which is what you want for an overloading vehicle - all that camping stuff is heavy. I had two Jeeps before (11 JKU and 92 YJ) and had them for 155k/120k without problems. Wear and tear repairs...

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    On the tailgate of my new truck.

    Resolved OLB Light style is messed.

    I noticed the same and thought it was a problem with Opera (which I use on all devices), but I just checked other browsers and switched to the dark theme. It seems to be a template problem - the icon graphics seem to be missing.

    1990 Jeep YJ

    I had a 92YJ as my first Jeep (am on number three now), and loved it. I still regret a bit to have sold it, but please don't tell my Gladiator ;-) @SkinnySurfer_Thad it seems we found all four people in the world who like square headlights in this thread here.

    Cheap Jeep Headlight Upgrade

    Interestingly enough I don't recall the headlights to be bad in my YJ, but when I bought the JKU I had my "candles in a mason jar" moment (Jeep - WTF?) and did replace the bulbs which made it a bit better. The eye opening moment came when I bought some LEDs :-) Now I have a JT with the regular...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    What do you use to store all your gear?

    I am using the Ridgid box set as well - the medium size the you have and the smaller size with the inserts (for spices, and small stuff like lighters). I like that they are interlocking and can be stacked. Since they are mostly under the tonneau cover of the truck dust proofness (is that a...

    oh, it shows up now (magically it seems) - quite a transformation :-)

    Emblem Restoration

    The "before" picture doesn't show up :-( I am curious how the transformation was. I put a couple of coats of clear on mine before installing and it survived a salty winter without any marks.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Thanks, it is true - 155k uneventful miles repair-wise on the JKU ... as it should be. I cannot wait for my third Jeep :-) If everything goes as -loosely - planned, the Gladiator will see the Pan American Highway in a few years ...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I might have driven my Jeep for one of the last few occasions today. We will trade it in for a small car that my wife wants, and then I'll wait for the diesel Gladiator to test drive ... Until then the F150 is my main ride.
