They definitely look awesome with a little lift to them

he said they fit with no lift but he may lie...

Think about one on occasion.
Like the typical jeep owner, I don’t off road.
Jeeps of all sorts line the used sides of the dealers lots around here.
See a lot of middle age probably divorced fat white chicks driving them as well.
They love putting those rubber ducks on the dash

My sister had one. It was nice stock. A bunch of cheap aftermarket parts put on it made it less nice... I come from the Jeep background so I can appreciate them. If I were to get one, it would be the diesel option.

yup, Fords fail too

Turn the four ways on. Good to go.

When I watch videos online of people breaking stuff off-road my first step is always to be skeptical. The unknowns are just too much to take it for face value like modifications proper installation of said modifications quality of parts used overall activity for the lifetime of the vehicle etc etc.

The internet unfortunately is the perfect place to either outright lie or shape the truth. Also unfortunately monetization has just drowned out the system at this point.

I could go out to my garage right now and take a sledge hammer to the suspension on my ZR2 and then film a video right there in my garage showing the damage and talk about how I was driving in the Walmart parking lot and it just fell apart. Stick a clickbait title and thumbnail on the video uploaded to YouTube and make money.

It doesn't matter if the damage doesn't match the story I'm giving, a huge swath of our population will believe me.

Jack, I don’t want to frighten you, but I noticed that there is some girl touching your ZR2.

With the discounts on the new gladiators, I am considering taking a look at the gladiator rubicon. Currently I have the XLT with no locker. I have upgraded the suspension, tires, and tune. Seems like it might be a good time to make the jump to have front and rear lockers, front camera, etc. Any thoughts/ input is appreciated. I am aware jeeps aren't exactly known for reliability, but the experience seems to vary greatly between different people.

Why not install F/R lockers, camera(s) lights, etc on the Ranger? Even selling your Ranger yourself you won't get much if anything for the mods that you've done so far. Even deep discounted, a Gladdy Rubicon is still expensive, and it's still a Stellantis Jeep product, meaning it will likely be hard on tires, the tech can be fragile, and the footprint is bigger than the Ranger without any noticeably larger space. Personally, I think I'd be happier with a modded ranger than a Stellantis product of any stripe- been burned a few times with Mopars in me younger days.

I had a chance to look at one IRL a few months back. It was a Rubicon, red with black out trim. Looked pretty good, except for the 6" exhaust pipe sticking straight up out of the bed. I should have taken a picture.

It's under consideration...lol

You should rent a Jeep and take it on a day trip. Make sure you're comfortable.
I wasn't. I felt like a sardine.
