Anyone want to take a guess??

As to what this is?
I'm at a loss. The proportions are all off for a Gladiator...or are they?

The custom bed is throwing me.

Looks like a Gladiator with a custom bed/rack setup or a third party overland bed. Interesting idea...
cheers

Had some unpainted sheet metal behind the rear doors as well.
Didn't know they made a bed like that for the Jeep.

Chrysler Jeep doesn’t, and the dark gray looks like a rock armor plate over the cab Rocker area and bed side.

Prototype utility body for a Gladiator maybe? Something Reading is working on.

An ugly JT.

I would think it's likely a Wrangler that was hit in the rear & an enterprising soul patched up the cab, extended the wheelbase, & found a ranger-sized utility bed for it. Very nice, and likely very practical. That guy probably makes money with his Jeep truck - just sayin'...

The cool thing is that jeep or an aftermarket company could probably make something like this that would look pretty good because you can get away with utility type accessories on these trucks without messing up the look. If you put a utility body on almost any other truck it goes from a very capable truck, family hauler, off roader, etc etc to a construction fleet truck pretty quickly. I liked some of the earlier renderings that showed tie down cleats on the outside of the upper part of the bed. I bet there is a happy medium with design and utility to make this work with the right details.

First of all that’s a JK.

And they clearly put a work truck bed on it.

Ok...so I'm not crazy. It just looked off. I mean whoever built it is better at fabbing than I am...but....it just looks off.. Even the lift.

This. Not pretty. But that would be awesome for my plumbing truck.

Why go through the trouble of getting a custom manufactured one, when you can get a PCOR one from Patriot campers that is specifically made for JT, and has some excellent features.....

The picture is a converted JK. Probably done before the JT was available.
