    Thanks guys. Yea the Gladiator has definitely grown on me cosmetically, even though I hated it at first. But as Shlade mentioned, a Rubicon version or something lifted with big tires looks quite sweet. The biggest reason I didn't explore them too seriously is because of the V6 they have, which my old Jeep had as well - I hated it and found it super sluggish. Especially compared to the 2 litre 4 cyl turbo. Right now, Gladiator only has the v6 option available, with a diesel coming down the line. The second biggest reason was my wife's reaction to them every time she sees one on the road, which is typically 'ew' or 'gross'. lol. And she generally doesn't care about vehicles or ever comments on them.

    Thinking back I feel like the diesel engine is the one you want in the gladiator.

    Performance wise I’m surprised you find the 4cyl much better than the V6, even at our altitude.

    Sure it isn’t just the rubi’s gearing?

    Hardest part of owning a Jeep is having to tell your father that you're gay.



    **only joking** you sensitive fucks.

    Hey how come you’re selling your E class wheels on Facebook, shouldn’t you keep them for the next car you will likely acquire very soon?

    They won't fit my GTS unless I can get 2 - 20" wheels in a different offset somehow and that appears to be impossible as they are sold out everywhere. Then the two of 4 - 19's I have will just be sitting, so I thought about just selling them as a set. Kijiiji has been insane with lowballs so I asked my cousin to post them on FB since I don't have it.

    My dad's 4 cyl 2.0 feels the same way (JL - late 2018 I think). Very nimble and torquey off the line. My 2018 V6 felt slow AF and super sluggish. Could you have been that transmission I guess - the new one is obviously miles ahead.

    My father also has one, so I think we are good.
