I put lockers in my '90 YJ. I run most of time on sand dunes. It was like night and day climbing the big dunes with the lockers. And I always run in 4H. You almost never need 4L on sand. There has always been mods to engage the TJ/LJ/JK Rubicon lockers in 4H. I'm sure the JL/JT are able to be...

I guess you don't pay attention or expect a wave from any other Jeep than a Wrangler. :facepalm: I get waves from all kinds of Jeeps. Even gotten a few from Liberties and Renegades.

I've been on the fence the whole time, partly because they were going to use the Scrambler name, partly because they're not going to offer a 2 door version. Gladiator or Scrambler, the picture of the Rubicon with the top and doors off has me hooked now. That looks sweet. Will definitely have to...

I would think it'll just end up using the same bumpers/tire carriers as the JL. I would want a bed mounted tire carrier.

While Overland is a trim level, Overlander was a Jeep model. It was the export version of the CJ-8.

That's it!!! That is exactly what I was hoping they would have built. That looks awesome.

Yeah, not a fan of that one either. Sells a lot and makes Chrysler a lot of money. But I put in the same class as the Liberty and new Renegade, a Jeep that never should have been. But that's just my taste. I guess I'm too old school with my Jeeps. You say Jeep, I think of a CJ, short wheelbase...

I really think Jeep should have come up with a new name altogether. There was never was a 4 door Gladiator or Gladiator.

Mopar doesn't make the JK-8 conversion kit anymore. But take a look at Gr8Tops. They make halfcab hardtops and bulkheads for the JK, JKU, TJ and LJ. And they make there own JK-8 kit to convert a JKU into a 2 door pickup.

And here they are. Sorry, no Gladiator preview. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/columnists/henry-payne/2018/03/20/jeep-debuts-seven-jeeps-moab-safari/33109743/

Second the 2 door option. That's the classic Gladiator look.

I can't believe they would not offer a manual trans when they are targeting the offroad market. For certain types of offroading, a manual trans works better than an automatic. I primarily run sand dunes and there is no way I would buy a Jeep with a auto for dunes.

A conversion kit to change it to a 2 door like a real Gladiator, with a rollbar in the bed. :cwl:

GM puts a button on the dash to disable the stop/start feature. But you have to press every time you start the vehicle. Not sure if Fiat does that.
