Has anyone come across underbody pictures of the diesel Gladiator?
I'm curious how they packaged the DEF tank and all the emissions equipment.

Do you think a flat aluminum skid is doable with what they’ve set up here?

No, I don't think so. There are quite a few components that hang a bit lower than the 3.6l

I have not had much free time since picking mine up this week, but am taking today off to play with it, get the LineX sprayed in the bed, replace the tonneau and maybe do a few more things. I will slide under it and try to get some pictures. If there are particular spots people want to see, let me know. Since I did not have the gas version, I not be very good at picking up differences between the two.

if you have or are willing to purchase a set of those drive up ramps, some underbody pics from as far away as possible under near as well as from the side would be awesome.

I have been busy pimping it up, so no time to put it on the ramps, but here are some pictures, including a couple of bonus shots of my finger over the lens. I am too lazy to go back outside and re-shoot them.

Stopped by the dealer today and snapped a few photos. I'm glad the DEF tank/muffler doesn't hang as low as the JLU.

Thanks for the pics. In the sixth picture you can see the butterfly valve for the low pressure EGR operation. I was wondering how Jeep packaged this on the JT. Looks similar to the Ram packaging.

I'm highly suspicious that this device is the reason throttle response is so unpredictable on this new powertrain. One can imagine that having a valve altering exhaust flow on the fly would wreak havoc on driveability. A lot of people blame the lag and non-linear throttle on the turbo, but I'm becoming more suspicious of this butterfly valve and tuning software instead.

I see the flipped the fuel tank and exhaust side to side. I always thought it was odd that the 3.6 gas tank was on the opposite side of the fill...
