Unpopular opinion but 80% of the Jk/Jl wranglers are cookie cutter pieces of crap to me. Gladiators are ranking up there slowly too.

and before anyone gets mad... I’m not saying mine is better I just get sick of seeing the same thing over and over.
With all that said I wanted to play along

Hey, my Buick was raked like that. But looks better on a sled.
Sorry...with so much ugly I had to put some beauty back in this thread.

I have a fantasy about getting one of these, put a supercharged modern V6 in it, and make an electrically-operated exhaust bypass that actually goes out the portholes.

With maybe some nitrous injection to boot. A real sleeper.

Dude, it has a 263 Straight 8. Torque for days. My fantasy was a cross flow head and a vintage supercharger. Split the exhaust. 1941 and 42 ONLY factory dual carbs and exhaust... But I'm weird about old school engines. I have wet dreams about vintage Cadillac Flatheads.

Check that out....sexy

Added to prevent curb rash on tires :giggle: but a real PTA to clean protesters parts out of the chrome spokes.

Advanced deep street water fording capable. Could be good for Houston TX or Louisville KY when it rains. Other than collecting trash in the rims. :LOL:
But they took the front axle out.

I posted this in another thread. Look close, the JK is in the middle of this. But it’s a truck now, but is it a Gladiator? Is it plywood rated? Maybe it qualifies as a Max Tow of sorts. But it IS hideous!

And, yes. That’s my Sting Gray Gladiator hood in the foreground.
