BHaner Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Yep. I did a thing. 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel. Has a few things done already. - Deleted and tuned - 2" Skyjacker Lift - 37" tires on 20" wheels - Power Steps - Tint - Warn winch w/Factor 55 UltraHook Picked it up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Took the scenic route home. Went up Pikes Peak, did Black Bear Pass, Visited the grave of Doc Holliday in Glenwood Springs, Monument Ridge, and went through Yellowstone. Great drive. Got one tank that was just over 30 MPG. Most of the others were 21-22 mpg going 80 with a headwind. I was impressed! Going to put my tent on this one and use it for road trips and some overlanding stuff. I also have a trip up to the Arctic Circle I want to do. Plans are for a canopy of some sort... Some different tires... Maybe wheels. Plus a custom fuel tank that fits in the back to increase the range for longer trips. 2 4 Link to comment

I keep telling myself that it is going to stay with 37's. That I don't need more because I am just driving it. Then I'm like... It could use just a little bit more lift... Tons and 42's. I'm broken. It's a real problem. 1 Link to comment
Jdofmemi Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Nice rig! What's with it being the wrong color though??? Now what's going to happen to the Red Jeep? With a buggy for hard trails and this for easy ones, Big Red is going to feel unloved. Link to comment

I wanted to get the diesel before they all had tons of miles and were beat to crap. Not sure what I am going to do with the red jeep. No reason to sell. But if someone really wants it...
