Don't get me wrong i love retro builds and currently coming up with some ideas for my Gladiator however i feel like they could of done something else. Not sure if this should of been a convoy release and perhaps better off as a standalone IMHO.
The seats look good and the retro decals will give some people really good inspire to build some awesome rigs. This, '41 tan and rockslide levi jeans seats(Grew on me) so far have been my favorites.

Anyway when will they give the max tow package some love in one of these trims? They are quick to always say in press releases " Best -in-class maximunm 4x4 payload and built for big huals" blah blah blah lol Then you go to order a beautiful '41 willy's and find out it only has 875lbs of payload. Come on Jeep

They did an EJS concept of one of these probably 10 or 15 years ago as well, was pretty cool. Had some trick steering if I recall to maintain the normal steering wheel angle and driving position that you'd get in a wrangler

Pre Gladiator.

Once the Gladiator came out, I imagined a Gladiator cab on this chassis.

Someone with AI skills care to take a shot at a picture?

Eh, looks too much like the new Land Cruiser (not the good one overseas either). I'd much rather slap on the retro inspired grille from the Gladiator Convoy Concept:
I like that one too but the one I specifically commented on is cool because I don't think it actually looks like anything available right now. I prefer a fresh design over one that is a retro imitation. So for that reason, I'd pick that funky looking new one.

Hate AI and refuse to touch it but hella good with photoshop. Don't really understand what you're proposing though... If it's still a cab over none of it works with the Gladiator unless you want the nose to stick way out the front or for it to look stubby and silly. Then it's just kind of going to look like the concept already does, but worse

The prototype uses a Wrangler cab, no hood, no fender.

The same thing, using just the Gladiator four door cab.

Anndddddd...It's a sticker package with color trimmed seats and every exterior color they already offer. "Powerhouse" my fucking ass, I hate what this world is coming to where "things need to look pretty. What? You want them to provide function? Nah, just make it look pretty and like it!"

This post and this thread just reminds me of the Walking Dead when Carol took that problematic young girl out into that little field and told her to look at all the pretty flowers right before putting a round in her dome.

Carol - Stellantis
Pretty flowers - All the sticker packages
The young girl - The Gladiator

🤣
