Dear Jeep.
There is an entire forum on V8 gladiators, and not one called Colors, and Stickers, but here you are killing it like a boss.
Do you even pay attention to the Forums? LOL

If I had unlimited funds, I'd buy one just so I could get the plate DENMDAN

I'd get those faux shearling seatbelt liners, maybe the steering wheel cover, too. Have @Underground Graphics whip up a rearwindow gfx of a famous Levi-clad buttocks.

I would insert an image of Homer Simpson snoring, but I can’t even muster the effort to go find it. I am overwhelmed by Lameness.

March 12, 2026 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Jeep® brand adds a fresh hue to capability with the debut of its fifth Twelve 4 Twelve special edition, the 2026 Wrangler Rockslide, a model designed to showcase the durability and distinct personalities of Sahara and Rubicon while opening new creative territory for Jeep design. By pairing bold blue accents with proven performance characteristics, Rockslide delivers a unique expression of personality that stays true to the Jeep brand’s legacy of purpose-built, capability-driven vehicles.

“The Jeep Rockslide amps up what Wrangler and Gladiator owners demand, unstoppable capability, and pairs it with the personal expression they love,” said Jeep Brand CEO Bob Broderdorf. “Rooted in the strengths of Sahara and Rubicon, Rockslide takes factory customization even further while staying true to the Jeep brand's core DNA. And blue continues to stand out as a color that reflects our heritage, individuality and the strong emotional connection our community has with their off-road vehicles.”

Rockslide Design: Rugged and Refined in Every Shade of Blue
The Rockslide special edition makes its mark with a mountain of blue accents, adding vivid contrast and purposeful style through the vehicle. Exterior elements include an Anvil body-color roof and matching grille surround, Blue Agave side stripes, hood side decals and a classic “4 Wheel Drive” graphic.

Inside, Rockslide introduces the first interior color space expansion of the Twelve 4 Twelve series, featuring an Indigo Blue instrument panel surround, center console and door armrest accents with contrasting silver stitching throughout, original Jean Blue cloth seats and unique Rockslide signature details, including a swing gate plaque.

Customers can also choose any Jeep Wrangler exterior color to pair with the Rockslide package, creating a more personalized and rugged look, complemented by model‑specific Sahara and Rubicon content.

So far 2026 '41 willy's edition for Jeep Gladiator has been the best trim released this year. Wish they had it as a XR or even a sport max tow would have been great as well. Sport/Sport S max tow hasnt gotten no love this year from Jeep. I am still holding out hope for a new freedom edition or an america 250 for the sport s

[Gizmo]

Do all that fancy bs and still use shit O rings in the oil cooler. Impressive

I like they brought back earl grey. I see a bunch out and about and kinda wish i coulda ordered a earl mojave.

 

[AmishMike]

Is it the Gorilla Glass that makes rocks slide off and not break the windshield?
or is there teflon in the paint?
Is the release date April 1?

 

[ChrisNLA]

I mean.

I kinda like the seats.

But the rest, whatever...

 

[Sandman 4x4]

Very welcome low cast option for extra color, especially for the interior!

As far as I'm concerned the guy/girl who is big time into jeeps is going to do the research and end up with what he can afford.

All the rest of the buyers are obviously going to do the same thing---but for many it's these weird little special editions that make them bite the bullet and buy their first jeep or a new one.

So I'm all for the 12 for 12 campaign. The more people buying the Gladiator and Wrangler the longer Jeep will keep selling them with a major update every decade or so.

I agree. The 12 for 12 is not to sell people like us a car. It's a brilliant marketing campaign that 1) keeps Jeep in the automotive news, 2) showcases it's production flexibility, and 3) shows that's it's a fun brand with fun "special editions".

I’ve owned many brands, but few can rival Jeep’s marketing power and its undeniable fun factor. Case in point: very few manufacturers have the capability to create and successfully execute a production denim interior.

 

[Ang]

Oh sure, now they come out with blue seats!

BORING LIKE THE REST OF THEM

The only people better at ignoring customers are the goofs at Ford.

‘everyone want the package with the 35’s and a small V8 and they keep doing this.
