JT Gladiator Media First Drive Event Happening Now

[Lou3.6]

Thanks Jake! Here's the video directly. I couldn't figure out what the holes were for either, but they will be good for accessory mounts.

Nice cinematography . . . and the Spare Wheel question has been answered, Good Looking, thanks . Disappointing that it looks so "cheesy," but sure it will be good enough to get back on the highway to a repair shop !

I for one hope that the bed rail caps are standard. I was very happy when mfgrs started putting bed rail caps on their trucks as standard equipment. Bed top rails are an area that are prone to scratches and dings.

My last truck came with an under-the-rail liner and naked bed rails. Once they became scuffed up, I sprayed them with rattle can bed liner- came out great. In a truck that has a spray-in liner, I'd prefer to just have the liner material extend over the rail.

Yea, that video is old news now ! Me thinks HE is about to quit his Jeep Job - so he has hinted, and do Youtube (?) full time or something ? He needs to be careful what he says - they just might Fire him before he can quit ! to be fare, he has had some GOOD info. up till this Pint color thing .

Yessir, I saw the image of gator posted not long after I made that post.

did anybody else know the grill was bigger than the JL? So does that mean grills aren't interchangable? What about hoods, fenders, bumpers with JL?

hmmmm

Yeah it's in reference to the slots in the debris screen. Those are larger to block less airflow. I'm still pretty sure any JL parts for the front half of the vehicle will work on JT.

He laid out a good case... and then pics of gator Gladiators on the factory floor started showing up. I think he's wrong. It's definitely more OD than a sparkly forest green.

FCA has a history of reusing paint codes for various shades of a color. To me, that defeats the purpose of a paint code. But, it's the way they do things.

Yeah. I saw PGR, for example, has been Recon Green, Anaconda Green, and Shale Green. All completely different.

how do you order one of those specific greens then, if they have the same paint code?

I will say this is pretty frustrating to see Instagram pics of them driving it but they cant publish any videos until the end of March. Meanwhile, the power wagon gets unveiled a month and a half later and I come across this..

I guess you have to know the name of the color as well. Like WXman said, it kinda defeats the purpose of a paint code. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sweet, car and driver is testing it! Of course they would, i'm just excited to read their review.

And Motortrend! But unfortunately we are going to have to wait until 3/31/19 to hear anything from them apparently.

Ugh, that's when the embargo is lifted? Isn't ordering supposed to open before that?

Ordering a JT before the reviews are out is like a tweaked crackhead buying drugs from a new dealer. I doubt they care so why should we? lol

tweaked crackheads don't have $50,000, unless they're Charlie Sheen

Lots of people placed orders on JLs before the prices were in. Actual, confirmed dealer orders, not leave-a-deposit-and-I'll-call-you-when-we-know-something pre-orders, but in the system, POC verified orders.

Agreed, it IS Frustrating !
