I'm still sticking with that departure angle is horrendeous!....something just isn't right We'd get hung up on the most basic water crossing exit or burm entry with that set-up. Fingers crossed I am wrong!

That thing is SWEET.When Gladiators first came out, they were called Tail Draggers. The overhang never stopped me from getting anywhere. A little lift along with sensible driving and we'll all be fine. Mine still has the original rear bumper, complete with the extremely rare plastic end caps. But the departure angle could be improved with a different bumper. Earlier this year:

Thanks. Notice how the bottom rear of the bed angles up. I'm wondering if the JT will also do this. It's impossible to tell with them all camoed up. If so, it may be considerably easier to improve the departure angle with an aftermarket bumper.That thing is SWEET.
Edit: This is a pretty damn good endorsement, coming from a Moabite and all.
I hope it looks exactly like that, except different....
Still hoping it looks like the Brute:

Qudratec snapped these photos. Wow that overhang looks long on these photos. I wonder if it's an extra long bed option. You can see the rear bumper tow hooks too.![]()
Needs to change his pants now...Whatever do you mean by "uh oh"?
