Well, getting past the derailment...

In 2021, when I can buy a Diesel Gladiator Rubicon used (or new if the resale is as crazy high as the Wrangler's are), one of these will likely be replacing the PW. Fuel economy alone will probably pay for itself!

They should up date it with a gender X. Wonder what that would look like? So what would be 3 figures on the sign.

There 52 genders listed. On some driver license. They put Male, Female, and X.

When I retired. I put down Alien Hybrid for race on my retirement papers. THAT got kicked back to me to change it. I sent it back in the same. Got kicked back again. After the 3rd time. They kept it. :rofl:

Haters are gonna hate.

I like it. But.........I just built a 4dr Rubicon online. Pretty loaded but not every option......$59,020 !!! So, I can't imagine what the diesel pickup will go for in a Rubicon pkg, loaded up.

I think it is really cool that the doors can be removed & windshield folds down. Tube doors are another $1200 probably. As far as departure angle on the ZR2, I only had to move my trailer hitch ball down 1 notch. So, that is within an inch of my PW hitch height. Helper springs & a front level kit will make it the same. For hardcore off road, almost every vehicle has to be modified in one way or another, even PW's.

Between that and the new 2020 spy shots, I guess I'll just go back to dreaming about doing 40's or something crazy to my truck like 4:1 t case.

Sounds like a plan. Too bad we can’t pull the doors and roof off our trucks Image.

I kind of like it. Thinking I might downsize to it for retirement and over landing. Power Wagon is too big, and JL 4dr too small.
And after the post above I am gender confused :run:

Meh, a measly 2 speed 4:1 tcase? If your dreaming, why not get a custom 4 speed https://www.advanceadapters.com/product ... e-builder/

Or at least a 3 speed. https://www.highangledriveline.com/stak_3speed.html

Seriously though, so often the 4:1 in my Jeep was just too low for what I was doing, although it wasnt such a big deal with a manual trans. However, for all the crawling type wheeling you do, 4:1 probably would be pretty damn good.

Looks like a reincarnation of the JT Scrambler. However, this is nowhere near the concept Gladiator that was shown a few years ago by FCA at various car shows. It was supposed to be Power Wagon-like with front and rear lockers, winch, 4 cyl diesel, and other stuff. I was on the Jeep site and none of this stuff is standard or an option. The closest would be with the Rubicon trim package and for that kind of money might as well go big.

Jethro Bodine answered Jed when asked what does a Gladiator do. Jethro replied, "they gladiate." Or something to that effect.

The only thing that is not going to be available is the winch.

And while I do agree they are pricey, WTH isn't these days!?!?!?!?
