My name is Ben, recently got into the Jeep game after a long battle with myself on whether or not I should get one. I've lived vicariously through several youtube channels (one of which being the namesake for this website, and good lord have I been binge watching those videos) that have always made me want to step away from the Mustang life and get into something that I can go out and adventure in. Came close to pulling the trigger on a JL a couple years back, but didn't. At the time I was holding out hope that Jeep would design something with a bed again. At that time, there wasn't a modern option. Waited a few years and well, here we are.
Ended up with a '21 Gladiator Mojave in Sting Gray. Searched 300 miles from where I reside and couldn't find a Rubicon, let alone one that fit what I wanted, but given the fact I live in Florida and crawling/precision stuff isn't really a thing here I think I'll be okay in the meantime without a front locker and some of the other things the Rubi has. I must say I've absolutely LOVED the last month I've had with this thing and just being able to go do whatever I want, just about wherever I want without fear of high centering on a road reflector has been wonderful lol. So completely different from what I'm used to. Hope to sit back and take in other people's experiences and knowledge while I'm here and overall have a good time. Since I picked the truck up I've done the OEM LED headlights/taillights and signals. Added the Mopar stubby bumper with Diode Dynamics amber fogs and had it ceramic coated. Coating really made the gray pop more than I anticipated. Last weekend I added one of the Smittybilt XRC 12K winches (no pix on that yet though). Plan to do a couple other things with it in the future but for now I just want to enjoy it. Thanks for having me.
