Yea really . . . but unfortunately it will be awhile for the "gators" . . . and personally I think we are gonna Really be Surprised & Happy when we see are 1st "Gator" in the wild -- coming to a dealer near you . . . sorry can't seem to find any "trailers" (video shorts to entice) .

edit; as a side note to ALL -- lets have a Reflective & Thoughtful MEMORIAL DAY, I know I am . . . soon as I'm done here !

alright, how's this try?

@pau32 makes this look easy, took me like an hour while watching Barry to do that. If jeep just hurried up and made the damned thing, I wouldn't have to.

Firecracker reflects light differently than Gators slightly more matte look so it looks a little odd along the with the color. The guy posted another pic with less reflections which I could use to get a closer.

I think I'm starting to prefer Gator with a black top unlike the other Gladiator colors which look better color matched. Using Gobi as the base I was able to get closer to Gators actual look.

Firecracker captures more reflections than Gator so it looks a little odd and the color is a little off. The guy posted another pic with less reflections which I could use with the color matched closer.

A modern day Magician. lol

I think you're onto somthing with the tops. I liked the colored top with black fender look with most colors, but with the two you posted above the one parked in front of the garage just doesn't seem to look as good as the one with black top......

About as close as I could get it, should give you a rough idea.

@Bobs85Reny , I think you've done a gator rendering or two. Any way you can re-post just the truck without racks, (bigger tires are fine) with black top, and then one with body colored top?

I'm trying to decide if when i get a Gator, i want black or body colored top.

If i decide on black top, then I can put a headliner on my leased vehicle and paint the inside of it. If i want body color, then i'll have to wait for my gator before I start modding the top.

Sorry, I forgot to say black fenders on each. Lol
I'll buy you a :beer: sometime.
He based his rendering off a Sahara, so here's some with the higher black Rubicon flares.

I am just hoping the steel bumper and such will be available by the time we can order one, I'm starting to dig on the body color fenders, haven't seen one out in the wild with a soft top also.

you can order that from mopar parts online I think, not sure if they're actually available yet, but they had pricing.
