I'm going to have to put a 2" lift on mine. It's too long to be that low.

Lithia of Spokane got its 1st run of 5 Gladiators - one Rubican and 4 Overlands . Got a few picks of the ONE that was on display outside . A silver Overland is being prepped for the new owner - already ! Then there are 3 inside the showroom (the 1 Rubi and 2 Overland) . The interesting thing, to me, when I compared the muffler of an Overland & the Rubi, was the Exposure. Not as drastic as the Huge muffler of the JLU's, but still vulnerable in the Wrong Circumstances . Less so for the Rubi with the rock slider .
As far as my impressions - quite favorable . I did not see any "oddness" to the shape/dimension - Looked very proportional to ME . Even the Bed looked good to me . All in the eye of the beholder I suppose . I'm 6ft and set the drivers seat very comfortable for me, then went back to rear seat . I have a 33inch inseam and unfortunately my experience was a Close Call on the knees slightly touching the Rubi's Molle-backside with the legs spread . Slightly better in the Overland, with different seat-back . Now all I can hope for is Jeep decides to up the HP to where it should be, IMO, at the G.C.'s 295 or DT's at 305. After all it's still 400+ lbs heavier than the JLU or G.C. !

Well, Steph, I looked and looked, and touched and even rubbed . . . and I just don't like it ! Why ? You had to ask ! It's just to "UNIFORM" to "COOKIE-CUTTER" . Every inch of it looks identical to every other inch, not at all "cool" and unique like the Dark Saddle with etched seating area like the WayOut Concept seats . I prefer "Naturally Imperfect" Leather like on my lounge chairs . Maybe Katskinz has this ? ? The Color hints of mustard yellow to me in certain lighting ! ? Just my take, we ALL have our uniqueness to content with ! ;)

I agree with you Lou. The brown matched with black and gray looks like ass.

Hard pass...
