did anybody show how the soft-top drops down? Where is it stored?
I saw on best tops Instagram page they noted the rear window removes and the top flips open in the sunrider position. Sounds like it just sits open and doesn’t go down.

Since the Sting Gray one is Mopar accessorized, it's likely a Mopar exhaust system with dual exhaust tips?
OHHH, gotcha. I like the stock exhausts better I think.

Interesting. Seems right but a bit disappointing. If you look at a JL vs JT, the mechanism to lower the top doesn't appear. Now that doesn't mean photoshop wasn't involved, or there might be a different way; on the surface, signs point to what @JTRUBI says- no lowering.

Im still confused. Looks like in all the LA auto show pics, that the soft top was just either On, or removed entirely. Of course there's that bikini top photo of the guy driving the red one where they just took the back off. I'll just wait for a video to see somebody demonstrate it.

It's kinda stupid to have aconvertible soft top that doesn't "go down" in my opinion, but that wouldn't stop me from buying one.

This pic looks like its in the down position to me? You can see a bunch of what looks like the top, and since the cover is clearly on it can't be that

No, you're right. I think you got it. Likely all the show Jeeps were hard top versions completely removed. Mark Allen show the soft top in the sunrider position (front folded over rear - in case you don't know that) in the extra video. Not sure if that's posted here on the forum. Seems that basically the speculation is there will be none of this going on:

Again all speculation at this point. But appearances seem to lead to the soft top "going down" will be a complete removal - not a quick fold and go.

That sure does look like a bunched up soft top sitting on top of the bed cover.

Anybody have a link to this "mark Allen" video? I'll do some searching myself later. I'm so excited, and I probably won't be buying one till gator color is available. HA!

Could be. Hard to tell really. But see how you can't see the rear seat headrests; makes me think that is an overhead of this position

Yup, looks like it flips open and rests just above the rear passengers head. Still have to see what happens with the rear window. Either way, I'm sold on the soft top.

OHHH I see. It will flip back but sit above the rear headrests, not flip down to the top of the box.

Saw another picture that might help.

So, this Sting-Gray Gladiator with all the bits... looks to be a Sport or Sport S. Can anyone tell if those fenders are the stock Sport fenders or look like the highline Rubicon fenders? Is that a Mopar option?

Jeep Gladiator Mopar Accessorized 2020 Jeep Gladiator (in Sting Gray) 6833a0b2-mopar-accessories-for-2020-jeep-gladiator-2


Ready for Battle: Mopar to Offer 200-plus Products for All-new 2020 Jeep® Gladiator

Mopar Showcases Modified 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon at Los Angeles Auto Show
    • Mopar-modified 2020 Jeep® Gladiator on display in Los Angeles highlights open-air personalization potential of most capable midsize truck ever
    • Available Mopar products for all-new Jeep Gladiator include active lifestyle accessories and Jeep Performance Parts
    • Accessories include truck bed-mounted cross rails, bed storage system, tonneau covers and more
    • Jeep Performance Parts portfolio for Gladiator includes lift kit, rock rails and tube doors
November 29, 2018 , Los Angeles - The Mopar brand will deliver a portfolio of more than 200 parts and accessories available to enhance the all-new 2020 Jeep® Gladiator. A Mopar-modified 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, on display at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show's AutoMobility LA, highlights the open-air personalization potential of the most capable midsize truck ever.

Owners can put their personal imprint on the all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator by choosing from a full Mopar menu of products. Customization options include a Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) 2-inch lift, JPP tube doors, Mopar spray-in bedliner, tonneau covers, a truck bed storage system and much more, all designed specifically for the 2020 Jeep Gladiator.

“The Mopar brand is bringing to market a full selection of parts and accessories for owners to personalize the all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator to fit their individual lifestyles,” said Steve Beahm, Head of Parts & Service (Mopar) and Passenger Car Brands, FCA - North America. “We’re giving owners what they need to enhance the most capable midsize truck ever, whether that’s versatile lifestyle accessories or Jeep Performance Parts for hard-core off-roaders.”

The majority of parts and accessories for the 2020 Jeep Gladiator will be ready when the truck launches in the second quarter of 2019. Mopar products will include active lifestyle, truck-capable accessories, such as bed-mounted cross rails that adapt to a variety of carriers, and additional performance content, such as off-road lights and beadlock wheels, and many more that have been developed specifically for the new Jeep Gladiator.

Mopar parts and accessories for the Gladiator are backed by a factory warranty and were created in close conjunction with the Jeep brand, engineering and the product design office through tens of thousands of hours of development, testing and validation. The strictest standards and factory-exclusive data — information not available to the aftermarket — were used to seamlessly integrate Mopar parts and accessories with the Gladiator and to deliver proper fit, finish and quality down to the color, grain, look and line of each product.

Mopar-modified all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
The Mopar brand grabbed a large selection of items from its available portfolio to demonstrate the top-down, open-air potential of the all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with a modified version on display at the 2018 LA Auto Show's AutoMobility LA.

Exterior Mopar modifications include a JPP 2-inch lift kit, JPP tube doors and rock rails and JPP 5-inch and 7-inch off-road LED lights. A mesh sun bonnet works with the tube doors to deliver an open-air feel unlike any other offered by a production midsize truck. The JPP logo is added to the rear of both bed sides. Additional Mopar accessories include unique five-spoke wheels, a hood decal, a blacked out Mopar grille and windshield tie-down straps.

In the rear, Mopar bed-mounted cross rails work with a Mopar bike carrier to support active lifestyles. A truck bed storage system enhances utility with lockable, dual sliding drawers. The interior of the custom 2020 Jeep Gladiator is outfitted with Katzkin seats, Mopar grab handles, molle bags and all-weather floor mats.

The Jeep Gladiator is armed with a Mopar cold air intake, which works with a Mopar cat-back exhaust system to add horsepower and torque.
