Let's not forget that before the model name was revealed, that's exactly what people were referring to it as, a Wrangler pickup. The way I see it, the JT is to the JLU as the JLU is to the JL, with a 5 foot box on the back instead of enclosed cargo storage, which could end up being true anyway...

I imagine on the Rubicon it might promote wheel rub with larger tires. I examined these when I went to go look at the gladiators (and JLs) in person, and they reduce how much clearance is available in the front wheel well. So it's a tradeoff between better airflow (less wind resistance) and...

"Rainbow post" updated with the alternate purple I'm toying with, the one origionaly posed being the one with more blue in it. Also added the blacktop for Hellayella.

@MirMir Thanks, the purple was done as a concept for custom paint. Haven't decided if there is too much blue in it. @LongTimeListener Any of the Gladiator factory colors that were posted include the tan top, to give an idea of what they would look like with it instead of the black or body...

Ok, time for me to give more visual ideas on colors! I started by seeing what the JT looked like with the TJ colors, after that I did the same with the JL colors we cannot currently get on the gladiator, then I tried to replicate the color of the TJ tan (spice) hard top. Official colors will be...

the red LE that's flipped over, after looking at the larger images, appears to have a body-colored hardtop, the black you are seeing is indeed the tonneau cover.

To add further detail for the train route that was used to indicate where it was going, there are two main routes through Nevada going east-west. The northern route follows Interstate 80 from Salt Lake City, the southern route follows Interstate 15. If it was going to, say, Arizona, the normal...

I stumbled on this while looking at the history section of jeep's webpage, just substitute the commander with the gladiator for the idea of towing a plane:

If it was going through Caliente, I can just about guarantee that train was headed to socal. That's on the line that goes to Vegas, chances are for norcal it would've been headed to Reno instead....so if they were headed for California, that would be somewhere between Bakersfield and San Diego.

I'm curious where you guys are getting the documentation from. I'm just trying to figure out the numbers for towing in general, and it would be nice to have the full page to look at.

@Ichthus you might be interested to know that after doing some research, the weight of a fully-loaded (fuel, bagage, etc) Glasair Sportsman and an aluminum flatbed trailer to tow it around on is 3850lbs, so that would barely squeak by the towing capacity for the manual transmission for the...

To me, the Gladiator is pretty much the apex of sports utility vehicles, all the sportyness and most of the play-ability of the wrangler, combined with the vastly more utilitarian design of a pickup....now only if we could somehow make one that was truly amphibious, like one of those duck tour...

@ACAD_Cowboy I would be getting a rubicon for the added functionality if I got one, the cosmetic extras are just that, extra. I'm mostly interested in it's performance capability. Even my reasons for why I would consider the leather seats are utilitarian in nature: they're easier to clean than...

If I buy aftermarket, I might go with the Extang Solid Fold 2.0. I have the original model on my frontier, and it's the only cover I know of that cannot be undone without opening the tailgate.

What I know is, the craft comes with full glass by default, requires only minor additions to be IFR ready, can hold up to 1000lbs (not including fuel), seat four people, and travel about 800nm before needing to refuel. Given that it's small enough to put on a trailer, and can be converted to a...

@Ichthus My rational for having the trailcam in the rubi is that, if i'm gona get a rubi, I wana have the cam too, as I definitely see the value of being able to look farther over the hood than I can with my own eyes, especially if there's no place for a spotter to get out and check. The plane...

@Ichthus here's a rundown of the MSRPs for the different trims/packages I would be considering: *Sport: $41,755 A/T Tires 3 piece hard top Tinting Tonneau cover (might get aftermarket instead) Spray-in bedliner, I looked at a couple that had this option and i think it will be decent for my needs...

I'm looking at my current finances, and I'm realizing that unless I can find better employment soon, it could take me quite a while to save up for it. What would the consensus be on getting a Sport or Sport S, knowing that the difference in price could mean I'm in my gladiator several years...

What I was thinking was if the forward 3 anchor points match the JL, it might be doable.

@Tacoman03 Would it be possible to mount the JL bars on the JT? the doors are in the same place, so as long as the mounting points line up, and you don't mind it stopping before it reaches the rear wheel well, it might still be doable.
