All things that I've read are the reason I have a gladiator. I didn't want what everyone had. I've owned full size SUVs and full size trucks. The only thing I miss from my suburban is the cooled seats.
Is it a perfect vehicle no is it a jeep YES. Jeeps aren't perfect but I can take the doors off and it gets me places I want to go.

Wing style vent windows on the front doors
Kick panel vents 60's style
Power sliding window

Realistic:
Xtreme Recon Package
Power sliding rear window
5.7 Hemi (or Hurricane )

Unrealistic:
2 door Comanche version on Wrangler Unlimited wheelbase

Thumbs up for the 2 door version

Dana 60 axles.

Id settle for a larger footwell so my right leg isnt always leaning on something.

i actually like its small size. Its already quite a lot woder than my TJ and in some ways my TJ is nicer since its so narrow. Otherwise it woul be a full size. I think its only 6 inches narrower than a full size truck

1. Get rid of the whole fold-down windshield thing. Jeep clings to it like it's heritage or something. It was so Jeeps fit in crates better for God's sake. They are a PITA to fold and look stupid when folded, and there are so many design compromises around keeping that stupid folding windshield......

well thats partly what makes it a jeep though. It is herritage

• Independent front suspension

thats the best thing about it is its a straight axle. I love it being a straight axle.



cooled seats is my vote. Especially with black leather and all black interior

and solar windows to cut down on the radiation heat effect

I’d like to see and engine option of the 5.7L. It’s proven, plenty powerful and affordabe. No need for a 392. I’d like to see more of an ala-carte when ordering. My Willys is great but I’d like options from other models like leather or upgraded radio and lockers without all of the other trim options of a Rubicon. Color match top options on more vehicles. Same goes the other way, manual windows and manual trans on more vehicles. Jeep wheel options need to get better also.

i like this idea. the 5.7 would be nice Plenty of torque which is for me the most interessant

V8
cooled seat
volvo XC90 seats
shorter bed ( half way betwwen bobbed and factory)
more aux switches and better place ( to me the coolest place is like the raptor)

 

[Komato]

More available payload
More reliable fuel pump and fix the cooling problems on the diesels

 

[Litfuse]

A properly geared manual transmission with the offering of 35” tires and 4.56 gears.

I’d love a Jeep with all the high end off road capabilities like 37+ inch tires, sway bar disconnects, lockers, etc., but all 100% mechanical meaning ZERO electronics. As in a single wire going to the ignition, but that’s it. For everything else you gotta turn a knob or a crank. The design philosophy would be ultimate reliability and longevity. I can dream…

Haven’t received my truck yet, Alpine Premium, 8.4, but as someone with 60% hearing loss (both sides) I’m sure I’ll need to tweak the system. No high tones and minimal mid frequencies so to me sounds like road noise are extremely loud.
Need something to mute that. I’ve been studying…

Yep, the new hurricane was developed to replace the hemi’s- hopefully it’ll be a good engine. I could see a fully electric gladiator/wrangler doing well (See: magneto concept) as a huge amount of JL/JT owners do not drive their vehicles long distances (100+ mi) regularly. The concept of the 4xe was neat in theory (gas to trail, electric Offroad, gas home), but they’re awful to actually drive in reality

Really? How so?

I would love this to be added to the JT, it's already a proven item at FCA, so would be a good feature on the JT IMHO......
