I'm very curious about the under bed spare tire mount and the max tire size it can hold. If it's not more than a 33' then a lot of folks are going to be looking for alternate mounting, and one possibility I think I like the idea of is on top of a rack like that such that it's up and out of the...
I plan to use mine as an overland type of vehicle, haul camping gear in/out of the mountains in the summer and ski/snowboarding gear in the winter (and the wife and dogs too of course). It will also be great to finally have something to haul boards from the lumber yard for woodworking projects...
I love the Gladiator name b/c of the history of it. I doubt though that most potential buyers will know that history so it'll be interesting to gauge the general market's reaction to it. I have to assume that auto companies focus group the hell out of potential names but I could be wrong.
I'd prefer a different set of names for the uniqueness of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the Rubicon trim just because it's so well known/regarded and they already have the graphics setup.
Nice! It looks like that last picture reveals a little bit of the bed to body configuration. It looks to me like the bed line itself is straight down with maybe just the fender flare extending a bit over the cab?
Also, I wonder if it's final that it will be exposed between the ends of the rear...
There are a ton of aftermarket replacement options and they range anywhere from a few hundred $ to almost a grand for the Mopar 2017 JK kit... https://www.quadratec.com/categories/lighting_lenses_bulbs/headlights/led-headlights

Thanks for the additional info, especially to someone like me who knows almost nothing about alternative suspension systems from what's been on Wranglers & CJs. Thanks!
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the Ram uses articulink in the front and a four link in the rear, where the JT mule may have articulink in the rear as well? I'm sure I'm still confused about the differences between the two setups but it seems like articulink is a slightly reconfigured...
The most recent spy pics seem to indicate that the spare will be mounted under the bed (or they just left the spare off to keep it a secret but all JL/JLU mules have had spares mounted). If it is under-bed I wonder if any thought was given to accommodating larger sizes. The AEV Brute bed allows...
Same. I will need a vehicle by the end of 2018 (get back to the US in March '18) and this was going to be it. We can't get by as a 1 car household for two years, 9ish months was pushing it as it was. Not sure what my plan will be now. Ugh.
