Funny that- I have a ZR2 as my rough country vehicle. When I'm way out in the middle of nowhere though, I seldom see another one. Tacos galore, and people beating the crap out of their 1/2 or 3/4 tons.
Only reason I'm thinking gladiator is the solid axle. I use a tacoma and I'm definitely hard on it but I'm sick of breaking struts (really expensive struts at that), cv axles, ball joints etc. I looked at doing a solid axle swap on my tacoma but at 9k just for the kit that didn't seem logical to put on a old truck haha.
Even the diesel model?
Beating a Dodge is not much of an accomplishment.I'm torn now on what to get. I was dead set on getting a ZR2 but at the dealership they had a diesel jeep gladiator rubicon so I decided to drive it and liked it a lot also. I really like that it has a solid front axle and a manual transfer case for 4 wheel drive over the electronic on the ZR2. Anyone on here running one? I've heard the steering sucks but I took it out on the freeway and it was 100x better than my dodges at 80 mph
Haha the dodge has survived it's the toyota that is taking a beating ??
There are ways of doing it cheaper than a kit. I would also keep an eye on Craigslist/ Facebook market place. Lots of guys sell sas tacomas that are streetable still. I wouldn’t but a gladiator solely because they are a cliche.
Had a Rubicon Unlimited for years. No Gladiator, but that damn Jeep went everywhere. Really liked it. Some jack wagon pulled out in front of my wife and she smoked his truck. Totaled the Jeep and never bought another one. Did recently pick up a 2011 Toyota FJ with 52,000 miles on it as a new hunting rig project. Will see how it does.
I'm with Elkslayer, you don't want to be getting made fun of for driving those Subarus like me.
They keep laughing but this thing keeps bringing them home. 7 elk, 1 antelope and 9 muleys so far. We even throw the cargo hauler on for good measure.
Ugly as all get out, but Lesbarus are everywhere in Colorado for a reason. They used to cover Wear and Tear under the factory warranty. That says something about Subaru for sure.I'm with Elkslayer, you don't want to be getting made fun of for driving those Subarus like me.

Well played Señor Dew
Robb:I'm very content with my 2020 JP Gladiator.
It had 12 miles on it when I bought it.
Here is a link I did of a Thread.
From an F350 to a 1/2 ton JPG.

Ohhhh that is really wrong !! ??

It's way faster than the jeep ?? also deciding factor I just got my motor back in my favorite truck ?Ohhhh that is really wrong !! ??
Awesome thanks! 6 because you liked them or cause you had to replace them? ??
Lol, I put 60-80k miles per year on trucks. I trade at least once a year on trucks. Can’t beat the Raptors offroad. Our oilfield lease roads are miserable and they take them like a champ.
