Well this is pretty neat. But for a Rubicon the starting price of $30,000 ain’t nowhere close to being correct. But hey I would love it if it was correct. Like the old show: Happy Days!

And trucks rolling down a production line: OH HAPPY DAY!
Its a Govt NON- "plywood rated edition" @Jake

They cut corners (of the plywood) to keep price down............................see what i did there? Hilarious!

They do look odd. The closer I look, I think it is the standard rubicon rims with a protective covering.

Faulken tires?
Yeah, looks like the Falken Wildpeak A/T. Also zooming in on this picture you can more clearly see the protective film on the rim. Protecting all but the nuts.

Hey Steffen707 I gotta hand it to you for the creativity in the actual VIN number created. And to lead folks to think that you actually could zoom in on a VIN number of a truck rolling down a production line. And the creativity to make that sticker! Well done my man. You really should give it a try in Hollywood. They might swallow it hook, line and sinker. Well played pal, well played. As for the rest of it I am just as jacked as you and everyone else to is to see a Gladiator coming off of an assembly line. This is indeed a good sign.

So can we expect the Falken Wildpeak M/T to be the optional tire then? I thought the JLR's were getting the KO2 and KM2, wonder what determined the need to differentiate or if FCA is switching to Falken for both.
