The only options I was considering was the pullout tray, which for mysterious reasons isn't available on the 2 door, and the modular top. But man, for a 2 door that already comes with a hard top swapping to a new hard top gets you a different color and some pull out windows for $1900. If they...

I am leaning AMB, but its really hard to peg exactly what that looks like. I would love loved a nice dark green. I have always wanted a car that color, but they are extremely rare to find used and the every new car I have bought doesn't offer it. I may consider CG, as it the closest to green...

I have two thoughts that I use when buying. First, we live in an interesting world and the models of "made in XXX country" or an "XXX country corporation" are starting to go extinct, though the mental ideas of them are not. I think its important to examine the entire process of creating a...

I hear people say this, but in my experience its a myth until I see a study actually showing it. My 89 4runner, 94 Toyota PIckup, and 07 Element all had 4 cylc and all did 200k+ with no major issues. The former two 300k+. That all includes a lot of mountain and light offroad duty. My least...

I always like their seats, except for the price tag. I was looking at getting some for my vehicle but realized outfitting the whole car was just a bit cheaper then buying entirely new seats. I ended up with something similar to what I used in my old YJ with vinyl seats. Machine washable...

Here's a nice video on it that was posted awhile ago when the Jeep Gladiator first came out and people were discussing purchasing situations similar to ours:

I hear people saying that somehow you sacrifice the load floor to get off-road capability. Not sure I buy that so much, given there are plenty of solid off-roaders who also have good rear load floors. The FJ Cruiser comes to mind, which although not flat had a load floor that was exceptionally...

I got lost once in Moab looking for a mountain biking trail and ended up going several miles into a Jeep trail in my 94 Yota. Got stuck in a line of 50 thousand dollar jeeps with my 4k truck. Did everything they did, just didn't look as smexy. I had as much ground clearance as most, and there...

That's not really reliability though, that's just quirks and comfort. Reliability is the endurance, toughness, and longevity of the core vehicle systems that make it go. Anyone who puts a lot of miles on a vehicle and wheels into deep country alone should very much care about reliability.

I use the back of my vehicles as an area for my dog, crates, tools and tool chests, backpacking gear, portable water for camping, and other camping gear. Most of the rear of my vehicle is space for my dog though. For most purposes, manufacturer "flat" that isn't actually flat also isn't...

Yeah, this would push me closer to the "no deal" decision if I am honest. If you can't easily move the seats in and out, the seats lay at an incline, has a massive 4 inch shelf, and can't be leveled with a handy tray then I am quite disappointed. If I am shelling out and waiting on...

I can get us started at least. I edited the dealer master list to only include those in Texas with the information currently available. I also kept the "good" deals from three other dealers at the top, separated, as a basis of comparison and kept Long McArther due to free shipping. Second tab...

Maybe we can get a Google sheet going with the group order list on one tab and the dealer list on the other? I know there's a dealer ADM sheet around as well we could maybe modify.

We may also want to include in our shopping dealers who do free shipping, like Long McCarther Ford.

I would start thinking about either upgrading from the bottom up or discounting from the bottom up. That's where the Bronco really hurts the Jeep even without any offroad shootouts. Rubicon will always have its thing and be solid, but a Wranger Sport with manual crank windows, a dinky screen...

In my experience more people say they prefer manual than actually drive or buy one, even if the opportunity is there.

I would be highly surprised if they made a single cab, those things are going the way of the dinosaur.

I can hop in, Austin here.

Oof, you know there's a reason boat seats aren't black...
