Good to know. Yeah, I'll hit you up later.I’ve got a bike rack, if you would like to try that route.
Was that the folding one? That's what I originally bought. It was awesome because I could put it in the garage with out Jeeps. Not something you can do with a typical trailer.I recently put together a cheapo HF 4x8 trailer and it has already paid for itself. Great for moving around 10ft pieces of lumber, hauled a few appliances on it, etc. Pretty much eliminated my need for a truck. That said, Gladiators have caught my eye recently....
Yeah its the 1720lb folding one. It is nice to be able to fold it and store it in the garage. Putting a deck on it stiffened it up quite a bit and I'm slowly trusting it more at highway speed ha. I bought it knowing that I could sell it for more than I paid for it (looking at my local craigslist trailer market) if I used it enough to justify a nicer one. That said, it's already paid for itself vs HD Truck or uhaul utility trailer rentals.Was that the folding one? That's what I originally bought.

I used it for about a year, and decided to get a standard trailer because I used it nearly every weekend. I got tired of folding/unfolding it. Knowing myself I knew if I kept doing that I was probably going to hurt myself (it was kinda heavy). I sold the HF trailer for what I paid for it and then got a Carry-on from Lowes. The Carry-on is lighter and rattles a lot less. Only down side is that I have to keep it out back since it won't fit in the garage with the Jeeps like the folding trailer did.
Just beware the manuals have a lot of problems with the clutch. The pressure plate likes getting set on fire.So;
I had an opportunity to get out of my JL for a new Silverado. I needed a truck, or so I thought I did. That 2019 Silverado Trail Boss turned out to be a lemon. Legitimately. Fought with GM about it. I now daily a Maxima, which is a fine car but I also have a Challenger Scat Pack.
I'm thinking about getting back into a wrangler OR gladiator. I need some utility and I go mountain biking. The Challenger is nasty. It's a fun car but here in PA...its about to become useless in 90 days for 120 days.
Any one seeing deals out there? I want a Stick Rubicon or Sahara.
I bought the 4x8 a carry-on in 2006 and sold it in 2018 for just $150 less than I paid. Great alternative to having a pickup.I sold the HF trailer for what I paid for it and then got a Carry-on from Lowes. The Carry-on is lighter and rattles a lot less.

And that one thing is my only drawback to the Gladiator. I like the look, I like the size, and I like that it's basically a Wrangler. But, I don't like that it's longer than the JLU. The most appealing thing to me about the Wrangler is how maneuverable it is. Start adding length and you start loosing that. I loved my Ram, but that thing was like trying to navigate a yacht into port when I was in a parking lot, or tight spot in the woods. The Wrangler turns on a dime, making it easy to get around. Adding length for the Gladiator kills that for me. Now the J6 built on the JLU frame/wheelbase is a Gladiator I would absolutely buy....... It is so close to driving a wrangler, just longer. .........
