Well... it does fold down into a console... not sure if it's water-tight, though... so... maybe?

Great. Now I'm hungry for nachos.

A vast range of emotions. The all-electric Taycan Turbo with Performance Battery Plus, high driving dynamics and a flat flyline. Pure Porsche E-Performance.

Think I am going to test drive a diesel gladiator. Considering I can flat tow it behind the coach and it can hold two bikes really appeals to me.
of course I will build it out with one tons and coilovers
I work near a Landrover dealer, good lord those things are hideous, the Tata influence is starting to show.
The new Rangerover looks like it has been put in to a compactor.
Wouldn't an actual truck be more useful for carrying the bikes? The beds on those Jeeps look so tiny...
Plus a F-150 can be flat towed...
gotta get it more aerodynamic somehow
... you know, for going back and forth to the day spa.the new defender looks more interesting.
You know Posh Spice is a designer for them. It's high fashion, you wouldn't understand. I don't, either.

Test drove a turbo diesel gladiator today and am very impressed, torque for days and very short spool up. Now researching the possibilities of deletes and engine mods before I pull the trigger on a sport level Gladiator.
Do you like gladiator movies?
I am serious, and dont call. me shirley.
dont worry, I will be putting 1 ton axles and at least 6" of coil over lift on it with beadlocks.
@gonefirefightin what's the appeal of the Jeep vs, oh say any other more reliable manufacturer?
kinda looks like a Hummer, fwiw.

It looks like he wants diesel and solid axles.
always been a jeep guy and a wheeler, its kinda been my thing to go crawling and do trails since I was a kid building jeeps in high school and running them on the rubicon over the weekends, Break them, then repeat weekly as needed. I currently own a very heavily modded 2020 JLUR but I want something I can tow behind the coach, be able to wheel the shit out of it and still carry the motos. The gladiator checks all my boxes for hoonigan fun. The gladiator is no different than the platform I am running right now (tad longer wheelbase) with 4 link front and rear and is the base to build upon.
nice. what rooftop tent is that?
But your Jeep doesn't even have those squinty mean face headlight topper things that all the mall-crawlers have. How do you even live with yourself??!
That particular one is the free spirit recreation M55, its the smallest and lightest footprint RTT they offer making it easy for one person to mount and doesnt make the jeep top heavy. I have 3 different RTT's
you need to follow Icon 4x4, true classic works of art with modern function and performance......at a price of course.
I saw one in telluride that had the worst paint ever...unless they just sell those ICON badges to anyone....they do great work but generally screw the pooch when it comes to wheels and tires...
I hang out with Jonathan Ward at SEMA every year, he puts basic stocker style wheels on all his builds to appease the aficionado's at base but knows most will put what they actually want on their rigs anyways. Impossible to make everyone happy and doing custom wheels is a pandoras box of possibilities so he just makes them plain stockish
stock rims/hub caps/33x9.5x15 tires = perfection for me...
I am happy he is doing what he is doing.
Being that 99% of his rigs are built to order some of the interiors and paint scheme are shit since they are what is requested by the customer. I have seen some ugly ass colors and interiors but otherwise most are perfection.
Good luck with the delete, the EPA has been very aggressive the past few years shutting down companies that provide hardware and software for doing so. Not that you can't find it, cause I'm sure where there's a will there's a way, but its definitely a bit taboo these days.
Goodness, thank you for saying something. I will refrain then. I couldn't imagine the trouble I would have gotten into if you hadn't said something. So grateful for the internetz

Road trip!
Unless they don't count ECM tuning out of emissions stuff to fall into emissions equipment removal. Which maybe? Would be an odd distinction to make.
You'd still have to find or make your exhaust stuff and EGR block off. Not a huge obstacle though I suppose. Though your link only covers up to 2018 Gladiators, and I can't speak to the ECM compatibility between 2018s and 2020 or 2021s.
