Sema 2021 Gladiators Galore [Add What You Come Across]

[PDiddy]

Thanks for posting for me!!! Yeah I’m out here.
One of the few builds running 40s with axles.
My 21 Eco diesel on Currie extreme 60s and 40” tires.

Thank you for not slapping 24" wheels on it with a skyjacker lift.

I think most of ya'll are missing the point about what a SEMA build is. It's not about what you should build, it's about what you can build. It's an aftermarket accessories show and it's total purpose is to show off as many accessories as you can. Over the years, builders have had to get more and more creative and flashy in order to stand out from all the others in the show so that their accessories they want to sell get noticed as well. This show is not meant for you and me as the consumer, it's meant for the shops that are eventually gonna sell these products.

All that being said, I don't disagree with ya'll about them being tacky and ugly. But I understand why they are that way.

I think most of us get what SEMA is. Most of us on here have been watching and following for years. They are turning it into a drag show. It is slowly becoming a train wreck.

Any idea where you can get that bull bar? I’ve seen it on the J6 concept, but that would be a cool add on for the rubicon steel bumper.

Same here. I'd like to find that one. I think this is the JT that Northridge 4x4 gave away a while back. I can't find that bar on their site, or anywhere else for that matter.

Drag show. That about sums up most of these builds.

Companies have been throwing out bumpers and fenders, especially fenders, that do nothing but fight the lines and design of the JL/JT since they came out. SEMA is just a concentrated and over the top version of the same crappy designs that have been coming out from the beginning in my opinion.

Not a Gladiator, but man do I find it sexy. Three row overlanding family wagon. Hell yeah.

My favorite one so far is this white one in the background, getting no love from the cameras.

Right! Most of what I see is why all the Jeep hatters hate Jeep. Hideous!!!!

Saw this video last week and immediately thought of that forum member who did this to his JT.

I could see this as an actual wrangler model. They could make a couple more adjustments and go after the van life crowd.

That solara red jeep has a couple cool details.

*Max Tow fenders
*Bumper that integrates with the fenders
*The cowl light mounts look like they are air intakes

That's not necessarily an M715 look. The early Gladiators had that look.

Right on, here is my original "Gladiator" thought it was technically a J-2000 pickup this model year with an earlier grille

That's not it. The Giveaway we built was Hydro Blue sitting on 40s.
