Well I'll say wait until the Bronco comes out and proves otherwise. It'll be the FJ over again.

Solid axle - cheaper - stronger - easier to modify - requires fewer modifications to fit bigger tires - MUCH better RTI - portal axles = better clearance - better performance offroad overall - tows better - better in sandy terrains (IFS have suspension compression issues) There are many other...

Man, it seems every one of them is equipped with LEDs... Idk about you guys, but I think LEDs aren't that great, especially if you live in colder areas. Guess I'll really be waiting on custom orders, unless I can switch them out.

The rear steel bumper is standard on all Rubicons, whether or not you get it with/without the steel front bumper.

I'm guessing whenever custom orders for the non-late-availability colored gladiators are completed. Which is a time frame from June - fall. Information is pretty tight right now, but I assume Jeep will start giving us some dates in the coming weeks.

Haven't ordered yet as I am waiting on custom orders, but no, I would like to see a 2dr gladiator in the future, but 10/10 times I would go with the 4dr for practicality. I've been using a 2 door JK as a DD for 5 years and trying to move anything, or go camping with more than 2 people is not by...

I think late availability will be out for order after they get the orders for first "custom" orders finished in May. So really that depends on whenever they get the first production delivered whether that be as early as June, or as late as October.

pm'ed ya

Sorry, this is just my first time ever attempting to get a new vehicle so close to launch, I guess I was naive to their definitions of availability.

I really wish Jeep would be more transparent on things. I need to have a truck by August for moving to Alaska, and I would prefer the Gladiator, but if it's not available, I'll be looking at ZR2s...

Sorry about the semi-clickbaity title, but I haven't really seen this discussed anywhere else. I got word from my dealer today, as with some of you on the forum, that orders for those of us who want regular Gladiators will start mid-May. My dealer also said he can't imagine them being in...

I know you probably know as much as we do at this point, but can you in any way allude to the possibility of seeing customer ordered gladiators in their driveways before August? That's honestly my deadline... but thanks in advance.

Well, I'm happy to get some info over this, but our chances of being able to spend this summer in a gladiator are looking slim... I really hope I'm wrong but it's sounding like we won't see any in public hands until fall.

It's going to be disappointing if we can't get custom orders delivered by August. I am heading out to Alaska this fall and was planning on driving the Gladiator up there since I would be able to bring a lot of my belongings. I currently don't know if my 2 door on 37s could make that drive... I...

I do not have one but Ive heard that the stock steel bumper is quite cramped with winches like the warn zeon series. AEV Dave has eluded to this a few times on his Instagram. I haven't heard from ARB, but I do know that AEV is designing their bumpers to make it easy to access the winch. I am...

Does anyone have any ideas for pricing on the wheels? I know it costs $1k to get the polished rims on the JL but that included 5 of those wheels. The JT will only have 4 since the spare is a steel rim. Sounds like it should be cheaper than the JL's option.

Well, I might as well start beating the dead horse and say what a relief on the pricing being lower than I thought. Now if you'll excuse me, I have many I-told-you-so's to deliver.

Sorry, not sorry...

I also think I should add, (since I didn't see it mentioned anywhere) the storage option on the gladiator is gone, part of me is happy because maybe it's standard now, but part of me is scared as to never seeing that option again.

I tried reading through this thread but got confused, can someone explain to me what is happening exactly?
