I currently out at work, I travel for work and won’t be home till the 28th of May. But we have found a buyer for my JL and we found the Gladiator Rubicon we like. The only thing missing on it is the spray in bed liner. That’s an easy fix. It’s black, and looks darn good in that color. Pictures to come in a few weeks. Just got to finalize everything and sign the papers when I get home. ✌️
As stated in the title, I have a couple questions for those that aren’t the sells person trying to sell me a gladiator. How is the road noise on the highway in the 2025 Rubicon with a hardtop? I have a JL wrangler sport and it isn’t quiet. How does the Gladiator drive compared to a wrangler? Being a longer wheelbase, does it handle better on the road?
I’m asking because I have an opportunity to trade my JL Wrangler Sport for a 2025 Gladiator Rubicon (brand new). I love the idea of 4 doors and room for the kayaks and being able to tow my car. I’d use it for fishing, camping, kayaking, transporting my R/C planes to our local flying field. Plus road trips with the family and daily driving. What are your pros and cons? Thanks in advance. I really like the look of the gladiator and its usefulness. ✌️
I got a few touch and goes in before this last one. I ground looped it, got is pointed straight again and stalled as soon as the wheels left the ground, dropped the left wing, replaced the prop and landing gear struts. My stick and rudder skills have diminished significantly since not flying since November. Taking off with full barn door flaps deployed is not a good idea. Rookie mistake on my part. This is meant to be a lesson for all of us✌️
I have flown since November due to a foot injury. But tomorrow morning will be the day the winds are finally gonna be calm and it is supposed to be a nice morning.
I flew to Japan to go to Fuji speedway for Rd 2 last year. Enjoy✌️I’ll post some more
