I wondered what that awesome rack is for. Looks great.

We sat in a couple of Jeeps earlier this week and wow, we are impressed. Haven’t got to the point we want to test drive yet, trying to go easy as we don’t need it until next spring. Lots of 2023’s out there but only a few 2024 on the lots.

I just love jeeps I have a 2023 Willys Gladiator Sport S fully loaded and my wife has a 2020 Gladiator Sport S with max tow package. I have had a jeep in the driveway for over 40 years. When I lived upstate NY, my uncle had 2 WWII Willys on his farm that he put together that he bought both for 300 bucks in the 50s. That is how I learned to drive at 8 years old so fun.

Hey RR, now that you have had the Falkens on for a while, what are your thoughts on them? I have them on my Sequoia, and frankly, I can’t wait to get rid of them. Their snow performance here in the west Kootenay white stuff is horrible. I do find the snow here to be among the most slippery I’ve ever encountered, so I’m not sure how much better anything else would be. Although the Tundra on borderline bald 35x12.50 Toyo ATs does better!

Late reply!
I quite like my Falkens. Very good tire life. I find them good in snow on and off highway.

I just placed an order today for a 2025 2 door Willys in the new color called ‘41. Original Army jeep color. Trading in my 2022. The new one comes with 33” Falken Wildpeak MT’s.

I swear by the Falkens as well. Have a set on my 0ld 4-Runner and a set of those will go on my newer 4-Runner when the current ones wear out.
Congrats on the new Jeep. Sounds nice, especially with those 33's and that color!

The nice thing about the Willys is since 2024 they upgraded to Rubicon fenders, Dana front and rear end, rear locker HD suspension. So basically a rubicon without the hefty price tag.

[markiver54]

Sounds great! Got everything you would need. Dana front and rear with rear locker. Perfect!!

Looking forward to seeing it.

Only one thing wrong with that Jeep it dont have nice ears on it for pictures like Badger did.

[RanchRoper]

Badger still has nice ears, I just don't look between 'em anymore. Time marches on.
