Gladiator would be a good name for a 2dr model.

Why would you put us 2 door fans through the pain again? Do you have no soul?

Couldn’t help mysel.

there is nothing stopping us from putting Gladiator decals on the hood and stuff.

The first thing I did when I got my Gladiator home in 1982 was remove the hood decals. It's not that I disliked the name, I just didn't like the decals. Mine doesn't say Gladiator anywhere on it. But if you get the hood in just the right light, you can see a faint outline of the old decals. If the new truck says Gladiator on the hood, I'll most likely remove that immediately also.

I love the look of that tailgate and the font on the Jeep that said, not sure it would match the modern styling on the front end. I think it would look weird with the retro modern mix.

True

If you'd like some Jeep truck history...

While Gladiator makes more sense, as a Wrangler derived pickup, I think Gladiator is more marketable. Of course, that ensures that no half ton will come down the pipe. No surprise, really, but disappointing nonetheless.

I totally agree. Gladiator is much tougher sounding than Gladiator. Trucks these days all have much more rugged names like Colorado, Tacoma, Canyon, etc. Gladiator is definitely a better fit.

For the non Jeep person, I think that Scrambler sounds like it belongs at the carnival. Is the Zipper next down the pipe?

I hope it has some design DNA from the old Gladiator.

I’ve been saying the same thing. I know it won’t but I’m really hoping it will have a different front end. Especially if it’s getting its own name.

Part of me is holding out hope that this is why we've only seen the bag camo.

A production mule with a JL front end and sticker camo should be the progression. It would all but guarantee the final design.

But if they were planning a big surprise for the unveiling, keeping the bags on JK/JL mules would help bolster the idea that it will simply be a JL front.

I can dream...

It's good to have a dream. I like your reasoning and hope the full camo for so long does mean we'll be surprised. I feel like there isn't much they'll be able to do that surprises me at this point... I've looked for too many spoilers and details for too long. Maybe I should avoid the forum until the 20th. (c:

Ahem.... 28th...

Lol, I typed 20th... was all.. "whoops" and corrected it... but alas, I'm sure there is some wishful thinking that affected my typo.

Maybe these guys will make a kit for the JT:
