Honestly I think it is just my own perception of wheel gap ratio between tire and fender. But yeah as you say a 3.5 is an option and much cheaper for a .5" difference. I won't be wheeling it hard.
3” is right on the edge IMO. If you are looking for cost effective way to run 40s I would look at an AEV lift or a Mopar lift + front spacer + geometry correction brackets + adjustable front track bar. This is assuming you are getting a Rubicon with high clearance fenders. If not, you will still need high clearance fenders when stuffed, but “should” be fine without the fenders if not really off roading.

The color is these pics is way different that what Jeep showed in the past. Is anyone upset the actual shade is lighter than what Jeep has marketed?

Example 1

Example 2
I think everyone here knew both of those were Jeep putting out garbage. The one @DirkG put together was known to be much closer since it was an existing color, googling Gecko Jeep brought up plenty of examples of the actual color as well. If I had ordered before seeing the color expecting it to be the same color as the released photoshops I would have been angry but that also would have been my own damn fault. Even after the JLs started arriving I saw people that still thought the Gladiator Gecko was going to be a completely different color than the JL Gecko.

The 1st example is a crap photoshop of this photo of a red one from a press event in 2019 I think. I've never seen the second one.

You're right it is a re-release of an older color. I just like the darker version they marketed.
The released photo was Mojito! or close to it. I have no idea why Jeep did such a poor job on those photos but yeah it was lousy. I'm feeling snarky so I guess my response is I'd spend 5 minutes looking into a color before I special ordered a $50k vehicle and so my sympathy level here is low.

I didn't order one because I wanted to see it in person or at least of real pic of a JT in gecko.

It will be a few years before that happens.

Found this on a local dealer website: https://www.ourismanchryslerdodgeje...Jeep-+-GLADIATOR+MOJAVE+4X4-1C6JJTEG1ML615676

No window sticker yet, so probably stuck in transit like the rest of you.........I'll defiantly take a drive down and check it out
When does the window sticker actually show up? On 9/20 mine was complete but waiting on additional equipment, guessing bedliner. No updates since. Surely any additionally equipment has been installed in the last 2 days. Just waiting on that window sticker...

Weird covid related shortage. They are missing the paper for window stickers so they can't print them. They laid off the guy that types up and prints the window stickers. They got the paper back in finally but can't find a guy to type the stickers up so they can't ship any trucks because they don't have stickers.

^that's all BS
