Yep, in all the long, long time we've had to daydream about these things, I've got about a $10k or so wish list all worked out.

Figure, lift and 37 KM3s all around are probably $5k alone installed, mounted, balanced, aligned. Bumper and a Warn winch will set me back about $3k. RSE Sliders about $2k.

Ok, maybe $10k is a little light... leaves out front lights, cb install, LineX bed liner.

I've budgeted for the lift and tires right away... we'll have to see how it goes after that.
My plan is
-ARB 2 inch heavy duty lift
-Mopar bumper with led lights and winch
-mopar rock sliders
-Mopar windshield led lights
-18 inch Fuel ripper wheels
-35 inch nitto Terra g2 tires
-Rancho front swaybar disconnect kit
-Rancho steering stabilizer bracket
-Hard tonneau cover

I think I'm gonna get the bumper and tonneau cover first.

why do you need a rancho front swaybar disconnect kit? doesn't that come standard, or only with the rubicon?

Only with the Rubicon, but I want a sport with max tow and LSD rear.

That’s not a Gladiator. Look at where the gas goes in.

That is a JK Brute from AEV. Expensive, horrible towing and payload.

First official look at Gladiator in Gator color!

Two of them are in this photo - see the one in the back as well.

Gator-Jeep-Gladiator-Pickup-JT.jpg

I'm not sure if someone commented on this already. But this picture was posted Feb 13. That's the Toledo plant, isn't it? Which means that, although we have not seen Gator out in the wild, clearly they have produced some...

More confusing. The "First production gladiator" picture was from March 19...

Those dates definitely don't add up.

I'm starting to think there is definitely stock out there, and it's going to just appear one day. Isn't gator a late availability color?
