Even the bumper looking aev ish is only due to having a bull bar, which so many other company’s run. They are just upset they have to wait to buy one to develop parts like every one else and they are getting no special treatment.

Seems they are awfully hung up on what the truck 'looks like' IE a Wrangler with a bed, when the Gladiator has So much more capability than the Brute had. Plus features.
Bumper looks a bit AEV-ish but to me that's about it? :shrug:

Yea, I agree. Kind of foolish, acting like they invented the concept... this is where Jeep needs to send them some throwback pics like the kind @5JeepsAz has... and take them to school. More like the brute “looks familiar” to jeeps that came long before it.
Heck, forget the ones that came ‘long before’ - Jeep has been making J8s for 12 years...

but those wheels, look at them, they're like identically made out of metal with rubber tires on them.

And that concept, AEV invented overlanding, nobody else can ever design an overlanding version of their own vehicle.

Jeep knows that AEV knows, that Jeep is copying AEV who copied JEEP.

My dealer hit me up, said they have 3 pre-spec orders coming in so the Gladiators are on their way! Can’t wait til they open up ordering as these builds aren’t what I’m looking for.

At least your dealer is communicating with facts.
