Just got back from the Dallas Auto Show with my son. We have been going to this every year for the past twenty years, it is our father-son bonding experience.

Today I told him that my only hope was that FCA - Jeep had a JT Gladiator at the show. Just like last year when the JL was still the new kid on the block, they indeed did have a black Rubicon Gladiator in attendance. But just like last years JL, it was on a stage not to be touched or fawned over.

I have to admit, I have treated the whole Gladiator announcement with a big yawn (up until now). I love my JLUR, but this Gladiator is my new lusted for vehicle. My son said "I have a great idea, why don't you just give me the JLUR and you go buy the Gladiator"..........which makes perfect sense, were it not for the $15k I have invested in upgrades and the monthly payment on the Jeep...LOL

However, my mental wheels are spinning, I need to find a justification in the next year to add a second Jeep to the family......

Your son obviously has a fantastic idea. The JLUR has obviously served you well, so having the pickup version will be a fantastic addition to your jeep family for those times you need a pickup.

It is a sensible choice. :like:

No justification needed, you work hard all week doing for others you’re entitled to occasionally do something for yourself.
At least that was my rational when I traded in for my Jeep

Still paying for this one. It would take me a month to remove all my upgrades to place on the JT.

The son says “ Customize this one differently, you know you want to”. The secret is, he’s right. LOL

And what a fantastic bonding experience it would be working on your Jeeps together, off roading together. Priceless memories beyond the value of money.

Some day he will be telling your grand kids and great grand kids about the good times with his father.

Agreed. You can't put a price on the relationship you will be building that will transcend through generations of your family.

Did your father work on Jeeps and wheel with you?

If so, you must continue the family tradition.

If not, you should be the first to start a family tradition that your son will carry to his children. Some day your grand children will be telling their kids about how they learned from their father who learned from his.

Nice try.....

My granddaughter already loves Jeeps and wants one when she's old enough to drive in a few years, either a Jeep or a Volkswagen Beetle...LOL.
