The Rock Ready package was intersting until they said it's done aftermarket.

I never know what to believe when they don’t give proper info. He says 35 KO2 tires on 17x7.5 wheels but they’re clearly KM3’s. Are those 7.5 wheels when the manufacturer recommends 8 inch wheels? I know 12.50’s are fine on 7.5’s but I’d like to know if these specs are accurate. I don’t see the package on the website yet

I would guess that they are the same spec as the Wrangler Rubicon XR package, which is 17x8, +12 offset.

The video says the package has the Mopar 2" lift and Mopar wheels. Why wouldn't Jeep just put the Wrangler's XR package on the Gladiator? Yes it's just a 1.5" lift but still has 35" tires and Mopar wheels. Confusing.

No V8 Gladiator.

No V8 Gladiator.

I know, I was really hoping for a 5.7L Gladiator....even though I've gone on record that I don't think it's going to happen. But man wouldn't that be sweet....

I completed a Jeep survey a few days ago, sent to me because of my recent purchase of my JTM.

I beat the drum pretty hard for a 5.7L option.

I’m liking those Willy’s seats though……. I just realized how picky Jeep owners are.

“I want to drive a basic vehicle that I can work on in the middle of nowhere using basic tools so I can get it home!!! But I want heated pedals because my boots get cold! And if it doesn’t serve me ice cream from the glove box it’s bollocks!!”

Still don't understand why we can't pick our gear ratios like the Wrangler side can.

Good question. I didn't know they could. Seems dumb

As far as I know, they can't either. Well - not with the same flexibility I look at it as.

Rubicon comes with 4.10s standard.

If you get the 4.56 gears you must get the 2.0 and the XR Package.

If you select 4.88 you must go back to the 3.6L and the 6 speed manual.

I assume they offered the 4.88s like that only because they have figured out how terrible the gearing is in the 6 speed finally.

So, you aren't really picking to pick. It's tied to something major / a package.

Whereas on the Ram for example, you can build a Hemi Ram (that comes with 3.21 gears) and option 3.92 gear on it with what seems to be zero other changes. You just option some gears.
