is the grill actually bigger compared to the JL? is it the grill slots that are bigger or is it the mesh in between the slots. ive heard all 3 things when watching videos on the gladiator and im kind of confused and wanted to see if any of you guys knew

Thought we had this issue put to rest ? Were have you seen any reviewer comment about how "bigger" the Engine compartment is to the JL ? This would have to be true IF the GRILL was Larger, in order to accommodate the same 7 SLOTS ! What IS larger are the BLACK 6-sided (?) thingamabobs BEHIND the 7 Slots ! If I'm wrong, I'll eat my words as long as YOU provide the beer chaser ! ;)

Considering the truck is 20” wider than the wrangler, it makes sense that the grill would be bigger, i.e. wider than the wrangler.

I used the term wider, since the truck is 20” wider than the wrangler. I guess you could use length instead. I don’t know...I always sucked at math. Lol.

I’ll do more research.

Wrangler
Width, Max w/o mirrors : in 73.8
https://www.caranddriver.com/jeep/wrangler/specs

Gladiator width, 73.8"
https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...ecifications-sheet-feature-availability.8468/
for the JT to be 20" wider that would be like Hummer H1 width. 86.5", (well not exactly)

This is incorrect. The width is the same as the JL.

I think he meant length and flunked geometry in school.
In one of these videos posted, I must have misheard the guy say that the gladiator was 20” wider than the wrangler. Perhaps, he meant longer. I’ll shut up and go sit in the corner now. Now, where’s my dunce cap? Lol.
