Just saw one

[FrankInNordale]

I just saw one in the wild!!! It was a black Rubicon and it looked great!! I wasn't able to get a photo and thankfully I just dropped off my boat because flying down the road at 60mph trailering a boat with a Jeep is probably not the best idea. I saw it down here in Ft. Myers, FL and it looked like it was coming from Sanibel Island. I'm not sure what it is about this area, but I also saw a C8 Vette a few months back. The Gladiator had a three piece hardtop with the front section removed if anyone was interested.

Oooh!!! I’m heading there now via Chicago. I will hunt this down if he is in the area!

Found it! Stand by for some closeups hopefully an inside look too!!

From the height of the front fenders it sure looks like a Rubicon, looks like it has rock rails. But I don’t see “Rubicon” on the hood.

It's funny how next to a truck it looks like a jeep. But next to a Jeep, it looks like a truck lol.

That picture definitely puts it into perspective. It is bigger than the Discovery, but smaller than the full size truck.

Looks tiny next to the truck.

Well you don’t compare apples with apples here. The Ford is a full size truck while the Gladiator is a midsize truck. Kinda like comparing an MG Migit with a modern day Corvette. Big difference in size. The Migit was a fun car to drive though. One of my sisters used to have one.

Ugh! By the time we got turned around in the insane traffic of Fort Myers Beach, it was gone! The quest continues for the remainder of the week! Stay tuned and I’ll stay in task. Oh and my family thinks I’m nuts.....

That's crazy you were able to find the one he saw earlier.

Dude you are beautiful. Yesterday in Chicago you said you were going to find one in Florida. I'm over here out west SMH going luck with that. But you fucking did it!!! Outstanding. I vote Yes on plywood badge for whatever it's called. Maybe a "I'll look into it and get back with you" plywood badge. Awesome and thank you. Well done.

Now, for size, totally interesting comp, agree with those above.

For type, I swear if mine comes with red hooks I'm going to puke.

Otherwise, looks great in the wild!!! Thank you!

Dude, well done!!! Literally a couple miles from where I spotted it at Summerlin and San Carlos. I could have sworn the one I saw yesterday had a Rubicon decal on the hood and I don't remember seeing the white lettering on the windshield. Maybe there are two in the area?

Thank you! That's exactly the type of shots I was looking for. Gives a good perspective sitting between the discovery and a full size truck.

 

[starrsRN]

Damn. That looks great! I for one am super happy to see it does look much smaller than the f150. I can’t wait to see one lifted with 35s in person.

excellent comparison with the 3 vehicles looks like the track is slightly narrower than the disco too thatll help on tight tracks

Boy that black looks really nice!
