It's unlikely anyone has it as it doesn't sound like it's available yet. Jeep has mentioned it in their marketing from the very beginning including toward the bottom of the link below. I think the Curt Spectrum looks more like the yet-to-be-released OEM version than the Redarc. Someone posted...

The problem, I think, is rollover protection (there is none over an open bed). That and you'd have to make very certain the seat is mounted strong enough to stay attached. I'm not passing judgement - me and my brothers did exactly as you described growing up. Just putting forth why the law...

Very cool, @Jake, thanks for sharing details about your build. Did the under seat bin come with the lock that works with your key? Of, if not, is it lockable in another way (e.g. padlock)?

This is a nice overview of the seats and related storage areas:

For those saying they need a hard top because "winter" can I ask why the soft top is not appropriate for year round use? I've never owned a Jeep (hoping to order my Gladiator soon), but I have driven smaller convertibles year round in northern Minnesota winters in the past without issue. I'm...

I know the current Colorado has a factory brake controller available. Unfortunately my 2015 doesn't have one (option must have been added later). The Gladiator factory brake controller is coming - they've just been late with it. It sounds like it will be here any day now (crossing fingers ...).

True, though keep in mind it also appears to reduce your payload capacity about 400 pounds for the Sport and Sport S (no similar effect on the Overland and Rubicon).

Not much interest in the diesel here. I think the plug in hybrid will be a much more interesting option when it arrives.

Leasing is not automatically a bad option. Like any other form of financing you just need to be aware of what you're getting into. The trickiest bit can be determining the interest rate which is typically expressed as a money factor. If you multiply the money factor by 2400 it should give you...

I don't have a Gladiator (yet), but I do have some experience with similar options on my current vehicles (Colorado and BMW i3s). Pretty good discussion here overall, but here's my $.02 on a few options: Factory Brake Controller - I agree this was a big miss on FCA's part, but at least it...

Bigfoot indeed! Congratulations, it looks very sharp.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Must be part of FCA's campaign of confusion around which JTs get the higher payload ratings ... I also noticed there's still no factory brake controller option yet. I was hoping it would finally be there given that we're nearing the end of Q3 and someone in the...

I think the max tow axles are supposed to be 1.5" wider. They're the same as what goes on the Rubicon minus all of the lockers.

Thanks @basicGlad for the clarification. I hadn't seen anyone report a door sticker for a manual Sport S with the regular tow package. Lord knows why Jeep would reduce the payload when adding a hitch, but there it is. I take it you don't have much need for towing or do you plan on adding a...

I think the real question here is which combination of options results in your Gladiator actually having that Z1B option (and a 6250 lb GVWR). This implies it comes with every Sport S, but I checked the door sticker of a local Sport S (auto w/ normal tow package) and it showed 5800 lbs. FCA's...

Very cool indeed to see a truck moving so fast (so far) - I hope it does indeed arrive at your dealer early next week. Sorry if I missed it in one of your other posts, but will this have a manual transmission? If so a couple of us would be very interested to know what your GVWR turns out to be...

Very cool idea!

Nice - I like those red seats. Are those covers or did you have them re-upholstered?

Nothing wrong with more than one thread. I think the Punk'n guys & gals have a couple of threads going in different sections. My guess is we'll hear something this weekend since I'll be starting a week long vacation with no phone and no internet ...

The longer I wait for Hydro Blue, the better Punk'n looks. I actually had an orange car (MINI) before my current daily driver. What can I say, I like bright colors. I'm a ways from succumbing to temptation, though. Blue is my favorite color and it's been a while since I've had a blue vehicle...
