I have never ever, not even once, gotten a wave from a Wrangler with body colored fenders.

The Sahara is the Jeep that non-Jeep people drive for the most part

This weekend's modifications:

Bestop Convertible unit that replaces the Freedom panels
Nerf Bars so short girlfriend can get in
Line-X spray in bed liner.
Cthulhu Graphics (made by a friend of mine with a vinyl cutter).
Shoulder Armor.

Saweet! They are nice vehicles! I had a 2018 Erangler JLU sport but now...

If you want items to toughen your new Jeep up check out the following web site. BTW, take a close look at that Black Jeep with the orange stripe. You'll notice it only has two doors and a very short roofline. That's because it's a JK Pickup conversion that has a 392 Scat Pak Hemi under the hood.

Point is you may want to get a lottery ticket, because the options you have to personalize your Jeep are nearly endless.

Love it!!! Show the after pictures ~

What steps are those?

Interesting, kinda like a small pickup truck and a Jeep had a drunken one night stand, and aren't sure if they liked it or not...

I was thinking of going with the Molly racks in the bed of mine. I like your wheels!

Sorry Rolan, don't like this at all. Jeeps should have 7 slot grill!

Are those o.e.m. tires ? Or did the dealer swap those in ?

Yeah, keep a good tire rotation regimen with those tires.

We bought a 2013 Tundra with big Wranglers. The ride(vibration) was to much. I put two new Michelins on the front, 95% of the problem solved.

The tires were 75% worn, unevenly at that.

Cheese N rice ! YouTubers love this ..... Vehicle. As do the aftermarket parts peddlers.

That is a really nice looking vehicle. I haven't seen one in person yet, but I may to visit the Jeep dealer to take an up close look.

Those are the 33's that came with the truck.

Have you found the 'flip flops' Easter egg on your Gladiator yet? I was dusting mine off yesterday, Sport S, and found them.

I like it. Eventually I could see myself getting one. Me and wife are almost empty nesters. It seems like the perfect vacation car. I love the new rooftop tents, add one if those and you could probably rarely need a hotel. Sleep anywhere. Tow one of those little kitchen/storage/whatever fifth wheel thingy and you are set. The price tag scares me though. I’m a cheap bastage and that doesn’t look cheap. Lol

Nicely done.

Yes urbanwarrior238, and the "Jeep" Logo on the headlights, Windshield, the "♥ 416" in the bed for the Area Code where they are made. That's why I put the Cthulhu on the Windshield.
