I had to take a pic of this Jeep when I stopped laughing

It was parked down the street from my house all day, I just kept laughing at it, the tag axle is a straight axle like a trailer axle, small little brakes.

It looks weird the way they did the rear fenders to match the rake not the bed rail, that rear axle must really screech the tires on a U turn, it did not look like it has a goose neck in the bed like it was done for function, so it must just be for show.

I suppose in some certain conditions it would help off road, maybe sand or something you want to roll over, climbing, or anything else I would think it would be completely useless.

My wife looked them up and they run for over 100K (disclaimer, that could be incorrect, I did not look it up myself)

I almost posted it up as "I want to do this to my Ranger" but it's so fugly I couldn't bring myself to joke about it, that would piss my truck off (I could hear it also laughing when we drove by) ?

I bet there are those who will think it's cool, not me, it's always function over form for me, I consider it only really suitable for a parade or car show.

A direct result of having more dollars than sense.

Personally, I've never cared for the look of the Gladiator. I think I'm finally at a loss for words on this one. ?



Its Hideous.webp

Oddly enough I have seen worse. If you've ever been to Myrtle Beach on "Jeep" weekend it's quite possible to have nightmares from just the sight of some. :)

It gives the old saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" a whole nuther meaning.
