Gladiator 85th Anniversary Edition [Added: live look video & photos]

[Janster]

OMG…..why?? You’d have to be 85 years old to appreciate those seats. Unless of course, that shit is coming back in style?? Yea….you know you’re old when the stuff you used to wear or do back in your teen years, comes back (and the younger generation thinks they came up with it).

What will Jeep do with an 70’s or 80’s edition ?? Or have they already done that?
Shag furry seats and steering wheel? A dash that looks like fuzzy dice?
Exterior….Make it look like a KISS outfit?

Looks like they're taking advice from VW on their interior design now, remember the GTi?

And wow...painted tow hooks, no one has ever done THAT before.

If they really are into the "retro" themes, bring the Rewind design to fruition, that thing looks sick af!

And if the grill from the Convoy concept was made, who here would install it? I know I would on my JT.

Might be able to get the M715 front end here:

85 years of history and THIS is what they come up with?

They could have done something retro-cool with the '41 color, tan or olive colored soft tops and had a winner. Instead we get a sticker package on a Sport S and some neat looking seats and stitching.

And for the record, I don't mean diesel or 5.7L V8 or Dana 60s though that would be cool... just something other than basic white with plaid seats and a sticker.

Or only 5,000 available to order and they come delivered in a special crate by X date - they leave the plant on the same day so they have footage of 5k crates that have "Jeep Gladiator CONVOY" plastered on the side leaving in a ... convoy?
Maybe a matching jerry can & mount? Or a swing-out mount bumper?
Comes in olive drab green only.
2x WW Champs stamped on the tailgate (ok, maybe not for everyone)

Like the Shadow Ops trim. The only colors that should be available in are matte versions of black, dark gray, dark blue, dark red/purple, dark green.

If you're going to do special vehicles, make them special. Decals and Katzkins seat covers are hardly special.

What a snooze for the 85th anniversary.

I saw an up close picture of the seats on Facebook.

Really dig the plaid. It's so horrendous I like it.

Still a lame ass 85th though.

Could have just called this the summer beach package and made it an accessory you can add to any Sport on the Builder, lol.

 

[Joe Gladiator]

yay another sticker package ... glad im still alive to see the greatness of jeep stickers ...

 

[ShadowsPapa]

Gotta admit, I dig the seats.

The seats are a throwback to the AMC years............

 

[SaiintNick]

That dash...YUCK!!

 

[D_JT]

That dash... IS EPIC!!

There. I fixed it for you. You meant epic.

Well, they have 15 years to come up with something great for 100th anniversary. I hope I’m around to be disappointed.

 

[cc1999]

Would you just look at the Hemi, diesel, manual transmission options!

LOL , I was thinking the exact same thing. LOL

Fifteen years is plenty time to revisit a full EV only Wrangler / Gladiator with IFS and IRS.

The industry is 100% heading that way no matter how upset the wanna be boomers are about it.

I doubt the next gen launches with any ICE only option.
