Got to drive one today at the Easter Jeep Safari JEEP booth. I'm in love. Great ride! STOKED!

I had a jeep.brand suspension and accessory development guy with me. The ride was awesome. For as many of them I have seen so many Gladiators in town today. Saw all of the concepts......sounds like one if not two of the bed racks/ roll bars used on the concepts will be available. The gator color is awesome in person! The underseat storage box is very heavy duty.

Was the red one with the star decal lifted? How many inches? What size tires?

Hey billyjk7 FYI 1 of the 2 side steps looks to be totally different from the rear bumper side steps that we all have seen previously here. In the one picture where you can see the bottom on the gas can that’s the one we have all seen before. But I’ve never seen the other one shown with something black on the side, secured by the 4 circled bolts. That step looks totally different. They even have a different number of holes on each step. Where was that mounted and which Gladiator was it on? Love to know. Thanks.

Well now that’s interesting to see and to note. Looks like they will have a bed step by the rear door and a totally different bed step at the tailgate end. Both should be very well received by the community here. I can only assume that Mopar will one day get around to updating their website to show what all they will offer for the Gladiator. Thanks much for that posting.

The pictures look awesome and at least we can confirm you can get a break controller (maybe dealer install or Mopar) and it does replace the outlet. Did gator look pretty decent in the sun?
 

Jeep you tips up

Awesome...and freaking jealous. We are still waiting for FCA to ship north of the 49th. Thanks for the Gator paint comment as well, and the pics.
