Thank you!

Looking Good, Chris!!!

Thanks! I wish I still had it. Especially at this time of year. It sounds like you had one before, so you probably know this but if you are on a budget, rubicon takeofff suspension, hothead headliner and 15 minutes or so to change the over head and dash speakers will make a world of difference in the ride and your enjoyment level. The takeoffs let me run 35’s with no problem

You have to be happy with your vehicle. No flames thrown.

Personally, I find the Gladiator hideous.

Not hideous FUGLY!
That said OP rock what you like, its your money.

I'd like to find a good Willys Overland Pickup, but I'd keep my Ranger.

Congrats on the Gladiator purchase!
I've had 3 Jeeps in the past:
'86 Cherokee-solid Jeep but it had the wimpy and troublesome chevy 2.8
'94 Cherokee-great Jeep with the 4.0
'14 Grand Cherokee- didn't have it long, wasn't a real Jeep to me, rode comfortable though

I believe the Gladiator has the solid front and rear axles and you say yours has the 3.6 Pentastar- a very good engine.
Enjoy!

@12Bravo20 my 2nd car was an 80s 3 series and it was bombproof. Had over 300k before it was crushed at a junk yard. looking back, I should have kept it as prices skyrocketed. Buddy of mine who had one at the same time had over 400k on his. The e30s with the small 6s were great cars with a pretty solid chassis. My 99 M3 was a lot of fun. Grossly underpowered by today's standards but it was arrest me red and got a lot of looks. The interiors on the e36 chassis were terrible however. I miss them deeply but when I started my career, I had to set the toys aside for a while.

And a big thank you to our moderator Dave as he is one of the nicest guys I have ever dealt with!!! Flame suit on so go ahead and tell me I am nuts! Maybe I am

I just wanted again to say thank you for all the nice comments that so many have left in this thread about me changing vehicles! You folks are so nice and I hope that you don't mind me hanging around even if I do not currently now have a Ranger. As much as I love the Rangers, it was time for a change for me. Everyone have a great week and again, appreciate the friendship you have all given me!!!
