What the hell is up with the Euro spec Gladiator?

[Mball488]

Im sad they dont offer the JTR over there. I still have friends that live there and are pissed at how much the overlands go for. They are optioned way better than ours here, but for 73,000 Euro base price I understand why. I do miss turning heads and being the odd duck out esp driving on the autobahn in the lorry lane. If you havent checked out Boser Wolf im Knullwald its a cool offroad park id visit when it was open. You can also drive a tank there.

never saw a Jeep without leather interiors

Most vehicles that come from the dealer lots are optioned as fully as possible because of resale value here... takes a hit if you are missing ticks on the options

Heading to Mammut Park this Friday, a week of camping and offroading, an ex military facility. Also tanks and Hummers for rent.
Böser Wolf is fun, not as muddy as Mammut.
This is our Forum meeting at Mammut

And that's how we looked driving WK/WH the easist route. Mud for weeks

Somehow I stumbled across the Euro spec Gladiator and man is it a weird but pretty cool package. Looks like it is an Overland, but comes with the Mojave hood. O ya, and its only offered in the the EcoDiesel engine, but comes with Selec-Trac.

Honestly, one of the reasons I am not currently considering the EcoDiesel option is because you can't option it and Selec-Trac. I figured it was engine torque problem, but if its on offer in Europe, then what the hell again??

I scoped this out a while back. I love this. If I could get this I would be so happy! Diesel with Sport Trac, I actually like the look of the sport fenders with the Mojave hood. All it needs is some fresh suspension upgrades and up a little on the tires and it would be an incredible all around machine.

im trying to get a hold of those cool side mirror housings with clearance lights.

Maybe you only need those lights (which you can find on EBay) and euro covers and not the whole mirror. Try to remove your covers to find out wether you can bolt on the lights.

As an Eu resident I can tell you that Eu spec Gladiator is sh*t it is only sold in Sport and Overland with 3.0 ecodiesel and everybody want a US or Canadian Gladi. That's why I got the 3.6 from Canada.

It can be done. There are a few guys on the JL forum that have done it. If I get a chance I will look for the tread for you.

I did the mirrior light thing on my Gladiator. There are full Euro mirrors on eBay. One example here. I didnt use these and I have not used this seller. I bought MOPAR caps and smoked eBay lights.

Very cool. I was in Germany, and Denmark and Sweden in 2015 when I picked up a BMW Z4 in Munchen. Then I didn't see many Toyotas, Nissans, or Jeeps. I did see a few Frontiers. The mud wheeling looks fun. I live in the desert, so it's rocks and more rocks - stairs and waterfalls (with no water).

If off-roading is illegal you’ll never test the limits of the clutch packs. The diesel will offer the best of both worlds with selec-trac.

What's that got to do with Euro-spec Gladiators?

Everything and nothing. The only experience I have with the clutch driven transfer cases are in the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and they overheat in 4L when crawling or towing / pulling. Do you gave the MP3022 transfer case in the Euro spec models?

Fairly certain it is the same. They are built in the states and well in the konfigurator here they don't tell us what exactly is in it
But... €84k wtf also Overrland has optional leather for an up price now???

Thank god I bought the imported Rubicon for 70k
