Thank you for the kind words.

This is a 2021 model with 15,000 miles on it
rescued from Manheim, Pennsylvania
and transported to me here in Deep East Texas.

The color, Nacho, was only used for the Gladiator
from mid-December to mid-February of 2021.

At the same time I bought this one,
my daughter bought a 2016 Wrangler Rubicon
from my cousin and kept it a secret,
totally independent of the fact that I was buying one,
and "surprised" me with it over the holidays.

The cousin had accidentally tipped me off,
but absolutely no one knew I had bought the Gladiator.
Unfortunately it did not arrive until after the holidays
denying me the "Big Reveal".

This summer we are planning on going to Red River, NM.
Not planning on any rock crawling but may explore
some tame jeep trails.

Like Woody Allen once quipped,
"My goal in life is to climb a low mountain."

The Gladiator is not my first Jeep.
In 2014 I bought a lightly used 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara TJ.
It stays in the Jeep Cave with no top and no doors
ready for me to air it out on a nice day.

Image

Sometimes I press it into service
as an herbicide spray rig.

Image

Or drive to Galveston Island
on our annual family get together
and recover stranded tourists
in the "Empty Quarter"
of the San Luis Pass.
