Rear window

[Jake]

I know that a lot of people were disappointed to see that the rear window does not roll down or can be removed. Am certain that a lot of you would like to take the front two roof panels out, take the doors off and then be able to roll down the rear window or just take it out all together and then enjoy some great open air feeling while still having the roof on.

Ok once you have removed the rear window then where do you stow it? I am not certain if it would have fit but I gotta wonder:

Let’s say you don’t get the Bluetooth speaker and you also don’t get the center bass speaker(that optional 9th speaker). I have listened to a normal Wrangler Sport stereo system and it sounds just great with 8 speakers. So without those 2 speakers behind the back seat you might have enough room to store the rear window, again not certain if this is possible since I have not seen a Gladiator at any show. But I just wonder.

And to make it a little more feasible I wonder why Jeep put the 3 child seat teather anchors on the back wall of the truck. Why not incorporate those into the back side of the seats as shown in the attached picture? That would free up a lot of space for the rear window. Or Jeep could have done something like the Ford Explorer Sport Trac where a large center portion of the window drops down into the rear wall of the truck and can only be rolled up or down when the top is fully on and secured. Or just let the entire window roll down into the back wall.

With the right engineering I bet it could have been done. Jeep are you reading this? Like they say in the Nike commercial: Just do it.

But I want a 2 door.

That sound like it cost 5 thousand. Or maybe 3. IDK. Thoughts anyone?

What I'm finding increasingly common and Funny is that Despite ALL the Hankering over PRICE . . . many of you keep coming up with all these "Wild & Crazy" (old SNL) ideas of what they should of done - MOST of which would make the Gladiator MORE EXPENSIVE ! Heck while we're at it, my dream build would include - under the 40 portion of the rear 60/40 split - a built in Porta-Potty . Removable sanitary bags sold separately, of course !

Lou2.0, this could be an aftermarket option for you.

. . .crack me up ! Let me be CLEAR, I may be older (dare I say, gonna be 68, ugh, next month), but I do NOT have a "GO' problem . . . ! I have had, for oh about 12 years now, a Thedford port-potty - for various boats - when your on the water I don't want to stop doing the fishing just to go all the way back to shore for a "Crap-Session".
Also, for the back of the former truck - CAMPING . Semi seriously, wether I get the JT or JL - I could possibly see Removing the 40% side and Fitting my porta-potty their ! Sure beats digging a hole reaching out to a small tree trunk, hold on and do "business" while praying you don't loose your grip, at the same time . . . .
