Anyone see a rear bumper delete for the Gladiator? Many available for the JL but I've yet to find any for the JT.

Thanks for your response but I've seen all the slim options and the DV8 one is the best. Just find it hard to believe no one is working on a bumper delete fascia like the screenshot.
Maybe I'll eventually remove it and create my own look.

That won't work on the Gladiator?

Nothing I can find says it will. If I had unlimited resources I'd buy it just to try :)
DV8 claims its for the JL, guess they haven't tried either.

with the amount of overhang on the JT, why would you want to delete it? The rear bumper is useful to protect your sheetmetal in the rear from overhangs... Plus, the correct rear bumper can even provide protection from the rear, to the wheel wells... all without sacrificing clearances. I'd be more interested in hitch relocation, to do like JCR did and relocate the hitch to behind the license plate, and keep the towing capacity.

Just a note, maybe it doesnt matter, but we had almost all Dv8 stuff on our JKU. Tire carrier, slim fenders, and inner fenders. Anything steel was trash in 6 months. Their coating was terrible on those pieces. They warrantied the tire carrier once, I stripped the replacement and had a local shop powder coat it before installing it. Seemed to hold up better. Ended up getting rid of the fenders shortly after too. The inners held up, because they were aluminum.

Well then :) thanks for your opinion.

I appreciate the info! Never bought anything DV8 before. Pretty sure you just talked me into reading a lot more reviews before I do.
