Hime’s Classic Gobi Build

[TheHime]

My dream Jeep has always been a CJ8 Scrambler. When I saw the Jeep Gladiator JT was coming out I had to have it! Here we are with my 2020 Gobi JT build. I am building it to look similar to the classic Gobi CJ8 look. Im a little late to the party so I’m going to spam this thread of what I’ve done so far.

Are you planning on adding the Scrambler decals?

Looking good, I too really like the color. Another brand of truck had and similar color, quicksand it was called. Those neutral colors are great when dirt and gravel roads are involved, I wound up with sting gray. Good luck with your build.

My plan was to add the brown Scrambler accents but instead of Scrambler it would say Gladiator. I’m liking the debadged look so I may change route. Next step is the brown leather seats and winch.

Thank you. That was my main reason for the Gobi color. I just didn’t want to clean it every time I took it off-road and worry about the trail rash. Sting gray is an awesome color. Hope to see your build also.
