🚙 YOUR Dream Wrangler or Gladiator

[DirkG]

What's your dream build for a Wrangler or Gladiator?
Be as detailed or brief as you want. This could be for you or your family.

Build: Wrangler 3-row Overlook Concept
Yes I know the 3-row is never going to happen because of the Grand Cherokee L, but I'd rather have a Wrangler 3-row than a GC.
Before you flame me for wanting 3 rows, my 2 active boys carry more shiit than the Titanic and require as many friends with them as possible. We're constantly using our 3rd row in our Acura MDX. This would be my wife's primary DD.

Exterior Colors: '41 with Gobi roof, grille, and decals
Interior: the just-released Sarge interior, but my wife would want leather seating (same color though)
Wheels and tires: 17" AEV Borahs in bronze on 35" tires
Engine: 5.7L Hemi V8
Lift: Mopar 2"
I'll stop there, but add your details...

No Nanny's, manual Transmission, Stong clutch with good feel. engine torque, stable electronics, or no electronics option
A Jeep not a car under Jeep appearing bodywork!

I'd like a Gladiator with a little more power and tow capacity. A mix between the Mojave and Rubicon (Mojave suspension, Rubicon locks and t-case). Geared from the factory for 37s. MOLLE panels in the bed and a lightweight bed cap like the Venturous or Narwhal cap. I agree with OP's color choices.

Something like this honestly.

Something like this honestly.

I drove a brand-new Defender 90 when I turned 16, fan for life!

My ideal Wrangler is a Golden Eagle trimmed Scrambler but I'd settle for a CJ-7.

My ideal Gladiator is a short bed Honcho J10 with the AMC 360.

But since we're talking modern, I want a Mojavicon-cho: A Mojave with the Rubicon's locking front end and detachable sway with 5.7L Hemi and SelecTrac.

Like this:

Just play "Simple Man" .. a Mojave with a 5.7L Hemi.. 35s and a mechanical rear locker don't need no 39Duce and no E locker.

Bigger interior space, and better cooling on the EcoDiesel. I'm pretty happy with the truck I have.

I would only change a few things.
Factory 5.7 hemi, 4:56 gear option, 35 spline axle shafts, warn premium lock out hubs, a 37" tire option, and front and rear mechanical lockers (no E or air lockers for me)

Plus give me the factory soft top in tan to match the heritage tan interior color scheme

OH yeah, a factory rear bumper with a integral swing out tire carrier

Bikini Pearl with SOME TYPE OF SUPERCHAGHER. ATLAS Transfer case, Tremic manual trans. great towing and good payload. lockers, 4:88 gears. Hellwig rear sway. FOX 2.5 shocks, FOX ATS Steering, Hydro Bump Stops, Fox Electronic Sway Disconnects. Am good

Mine is a bit odd but man do I want it to be real.

I have named it the Gladiator Forge with a wider track. It will be meant for desert running, a 5.7 hemi, live action shocks, and 37” out of the factory. It has some very flared fenders, both for travel and aesthetic.

In my person fantasy land, this is made to be a desert racer, and a “competitor” to the Raptor.
I know the grille is kinda goofy. It was a by product of AI (I’m talentless sorry), but I liked it so kept.

I'd want an Xtra Cab with a 6ft bed EcoDiesel Rubicon. Similar to this...

With 38s, 4.27 axle gears, 2.5 Clayton diesel lift with long arm fronts and triangulated 4 link rear. Truss and gusset the front, truss the new full float rear.
Then, the wife's JLURD needs a 3rd row for the grandkids and a set of 35s.

Oh, and of course delete both and give them 500+ lb-ft of torque.

 

[RougeShot12er]

My current rig with a 5.7l or 6.4l honestly.
Maybe add elockers that I can engage anytime. Would also want to be able to keep a snorkel on it.

4.0 TDI with the ZFhp90, D60/80 with 4.56 and a option for 4.88's. 38's std with liner deletes. NO elect steering give us a real steering pump. BIG radiator, engine and trans oil cooler.
