Is that a trailer hitch or a cultivator hanging down in back?
The unfortunate Gladiator of the day thread

Damn, I hadn’t thought of that for a long time. Running a cultivator on a narrow front end tractor as a kid. Oh the good old days.
Some people are so poor all they have is money!I'll kick this thread off with this one! I really love the rear driveshaft angle

Wow, and all this time I thought this was what a Gladiator looked like.
Very unfortunate, what’s the payload rating on a Gladiator?

I've seen more engine fires on JK and JL than on TJs. That's saying a lot considering some of the questionable wiring I've seen under the hoods of TJs over the years.
I don't know much about that particular Gladiator, but it doesn't look like it's sagging under the weight of the trailer. It's also on tons and probably had a hemi. Any load capacity it came with from the factory is irrelevant. The fire was minor and didn't even burst the tires but it's still a total loss. That is an unfortunate gladiator
Guess the gladiator is part 2500 with a 6.4 hemi.
They said the fuse panel started it but it’s not factory anyway
A stocker with max towing capacity is 7600 lbs from what I read.
I think that loaded trailer is much heavier than that.
Personally, I wouldn’t tow that trailer with that Jeep, dumb move in my opinion.
I’m sure that was a mighty expensive BBQ!
That 7.5k is with the max tow package only available on sport s. Rubicon is 7k, overland/Mojave/sport models are 6.5k
Seems like a good time to have a spare car behind you. We should all trailer one just in case we need it.
Grabbed this from a YouTube video, thinking I need a gladiator to run rear only doorless.
