I have been waiting for and Affordable OEM built Jeep "Brute" foooor-evvvvver ! My historical motorized love affair has always been Toyotas. Mostly 1st Gen (84-89) removable roof 4runners 2dr Jeep Wranglers have always been so impracticable, but the 2007 4dr JKU finally made those compromises acceptable. I was looking to build a SAS or long-travel IFS Toyota Taco for the bed space, or even a trailer behind an FJ/4runner just to keep up with the Jeeps.. but i gave-in, and bought my 07 JKU so i didn't have to take months to build..... Still wanting the functionality of a smaller truck bed, i have been looking at Colorado ZR2 and Tacoma TRD Pro... but i hate not haveing a removable roof / convertible top... finally after 22 years of waiting... I can have what i have always wanted. Convertible Soft top 4dr Removable doors Pickup Bed Solid front axle Tow rating worth a d@mn. Can't wait to get my JT in April 2020!
Yup, must say, nothing beats that removable roof! 22 years is a long time to wait, I'm sure the Gladiator will be the ideal vehicle for you. Thanks for joining us and welcome to the forum. If you will, post up here what exterior color you have decided to go with!
Welcome to the forum! Yep, good to get exactly what you want (ok, even if it's only once in a while...)
