Learned how to drive a manual shift, on 1940's Surplus US Army Jeep. This was on a huge field used as "Hilltown Gliders Association". My best buddy's dad had gliders and was a pilot, who eventually crashed with another,..... glider vs tow plane....

Today Jeeps, are junk as compared.....

I believe the gladiator bed is 5 foot. Payload is about equal to some side-by-sides though.

Ad lacks midget transgender gay female black Muslims of color. Bigoted ad. Would not watch again.

Yeah because that recycled beer can is a great everyday vehicle. Ive had 4 Jeeps, two of them being Gladiators and I never had even one problem with any of them. Have you ever owned one??

Rented one of those once. Not intentionally. When my delayed flight finally got to Denver, and I got the rental car facility, that was literally the only vehicle they had left.

And what a steaming pile of shit it was.

I guess working on them knowing their in's and out's is not straight up enough for you.And no i've never owned one but working on multiple car lines isn't good enough.
They don't hold up well in stock form off-roading compared to a stock fj and a stock cj.Those so-called jap pos were far better then cj's.Have you ever owned one yourself?

No...Ive never owned a Jap beer can vehicle. But, I didnt come into your thread bad mouthing one either. Just because you "work" on various vehicles just means you only get to work on the broken ones. That tells you nothing about all the many others out there running trouble free. How many POS tin cans that your wife owns do you see running on the streets?
