I can tell you one thing - if I’m shopping for a used JT in 5 years, it’ll be an LE. That way I know it’ll actuallyhave *everything* on it, unlike all of the other “loaded” jeeps for sales on Craigslist that are only loaded with BS.

For me the top would have to do both - stop where it does today, and go all the way into the bed. If the choice is one or the other, I’ll take Jeep’s current version. I think most people who complain about this haven’t really thought through living with the thing, and are just reacting to how...

Almost any ‘factory’ option that you can buy from the parts department will be cheaper to buy online after purchase - liners, roof racks, floor mats, etc... it’s easy to lose sight of the difference between $200 and $275 when you’re in the middle of buying a $45,000 vehicle, but it does add up...

Heck, forget the ones that came ‘long before’ - Jeep has been making J8s for 12 years...

Wait a second - AEV basically built a knockoff J8, which is a Wrangler with a bed and some upgrades (that's been made by a Chrysler JV since 2007). Then Jeep built an *actual honest to God truck* that featured a *Jeep* Wrangler front end and styling, and AEV is upset about it? C'mon man -...

Same boat - I' mhoping for 6-8 months instead of a year, but realistically there are other thigns that should take priority, and I will *not* go in to debt just to drive something other than what I'm driving today.

That's the #1 reason that if I can talk my wife into letting my turn the '8r into an overlander, I will be going with a soft tent. I'm a *huge* soft-top guy - most of the cars I've owned in my life have been roofless - and can't imagine giving up any toplessness for the sake of a slightly...

Man, I wasn't a huge fan of this blue on a wrangler, but it looks balls on a gladiator!

I think I like the regular pods better - anything long and precious* like in that pics will get locked in the cab under the rear seat, and anything less precious can go in a decked drawer. Come to think of it, the decked drawers can hold precious long items too, so I definitely wouldn't need a...

Small bore, long stroke, and very high-strength sleeves to allow thinner walls. This is the advantage of building an engine for a specific set of requirements, rather than having to build a vehicle around existing (decades old) powerplants. Neither the pentastar nor the Hemis are models of...

Then it wouldn't have any of the advantages of being a JT - crappy tow rating, nonexistent payload. Plus, by the time you had it installed, painted, and finished your $10k kit would add $25-40k to your used JL, just like the AEV Brute. There's a reason that Brutes run $80k+...

err ma gerd - the want is stroooooong!

Myself and plenty of other people I know would never have bought a wrangler if it weren’t for the JKU. I tried to figure out a way to make the TJU work, but it was just too small for my life at the time - same goes for most of my Jeep owning friends.

How would a gladiator + a 10k conversion kit be ‘cheaper than a gladiator’?

That’d be illegal- not to mention impossible, because that’s an arm brace, not a stock :LOL:

What’s custom about the LE? They were all the same build with the exception of color and transmission. Should have been pretty easy to start on them ahead of 4/4.

:CWL::CWL::CWL::CWL:

LOL - Doug Demuro had a similar problem with that word - I think it’s one that people *see* a lot more than they say..

Nightmare? Come on - at least try to be a little bit realistic. The doors are fine for rear seat access. They could be better, but it's not as if the cut off corner blocks access to the entire rear footwell or anything, it's mostly where the seat is. It's not any worse than the JL, and I've...

Thule has been making them for years - their XSporter line is height adjustable, but it may not hold as much weight as one might need for an RTT.
