Correct, I should have clarified the all electric rather than the hybrid. Thanks for pointing that out!

Not really, we all bring 5 gal of extra gas to get us to the next fill up which is much closer than an electric fill up. Will your electric Gladiator have a spare charge the size and weight of a full 5 gallon "jerry" can that can get you to a full charge? We all know the answer is no to that.

It's all fun and games until your battery goes dead in the middle of Moab 400 miles from the closest charge.

I don't get the terse negatives that people give here when someone is sharing their experience with a Jeep. Try to put yourself in their shoes instead of being a Jeep Fanboy and dismissing their experience just because you haven't had it. Yes we all know that other brands experience the same...

Can't remember if this is the same manufacture that did the Kaiser front end kit for the Wrangler, but when I did contact them they said the Wrangler kit would not fit the Gladiator. I believe they are working on a Gladiator version though. I'm sure if and when it's available they would...

At least they don't drill two holes in your vehicle now like they used to in the old days for chrome metal dealer badges. You would then need body work to fix the holes, plus they were always a rust point.

:CWL:

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! Especially up in Alaska with Grizzlies!

That's great info you found, but if you absolutely have no other choice it's good to know NASA has a method for splicing too.?

I just added that because it's a NASA specification and they know a thing or two about vibration, ?. Plus it gives a good visual step process. I figure if it's good enough to go to space it is probably good enough for a Gladiator.

And to add more fuel to the fire ? on the right way to splice a wire let's look at NASA's spec for solid core wire anyway: Some commenters on my post about using a washer as a soldering aid noticed my sloppy splicing technique and were kind enough to educate me about the so-called “Western...

Well that would have given them the perfect opportunity to use the Kaiser 715 Front End which was already done on the concept. That probably would have given them the needed space for the cooling system.

Just like the 715 Concept would be great and if it could fold completely away out of the wind would be awesome.

Don't let your wife make decisions about what you want. I'm sure there is plenty of things she monopolizes making decisions about. If your the bread winner that's your choice. Sure you will always take into account her opinions, but your the man, you lead. Buy the Gladiator.

The Jeep Crew Chief used 20-inch beadlock wheels and 40-inch NDT military tires to pay homage to the original Jeep military vehicles. The brand used was STA (Specialty Tires of America), although Firestone makes them as well. Here is a random link for these tires, no best price checking...

Until yours gets T-boned by some idiot, and is totaled and now you can't get it replaced. Be careful what you wish for.

I'm starting this thread as a go to for Gladiator owners or wannabes whom are interested in modding their Gladiator to look like the Jeep Crew Chief 715 Concept. The goal is use this thread to collect all information such as links to products, information, or for pioneers whom customized their...
