I sat down with a salesman from Tom O'brien Jeep in Indy yesterday after work for an hour and a half. Priced out a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon diesel and a Gladiator Rubicon diesel. Went over everything with a fine tooth comb and discussed both of them. I have a Gladiator Mojave now. But I drive 110 miles round trip 5-6 days a week. Gasser is getting expensive and a little gutless. Hopefully I make my mind up soon. Gecko either way.

Thank you!
Heh. My first car was a Studie...
I have acquired a work in progress 1946 Studebasker m5. I purchased it about fifteen years ago in preparation for a father son project. We will be starting it this fall. It is something you don’t see everyday.

After my wife having her diesel gladiator for 6 months and average mpg of 26 mpg I have to have one. I like everything about the gladiator.

The JL Rubicons are coming with a red dash. Assume the JTs will as well. Photo from a Facebook group, not mine.

rats...

Guess I shoulda ordered the Saddle seats.

Anyone know how the passenger airbag deploys? Because an aluminum sheet with engine turning would be nice.

Thanks mate.
That's kinda how I expected it too. Would be a little dangerous to cover that with Aluminum. I suppose it could be done, but the scribing required to make it thin enough to bend out of the way, without smacking the passenger in the face, would probably be a headache.

I might expirement with something when I get my grubby hands on my jeep.

How hard would it be to just change out dash panels?
