Last but not least is this super sharp looking Stingray Gladiator Rubicon, with a Mopar 2" lift installed and 35" BFG MT's! Doesn't get much nicer than this.

While the Gladiator Rubicon comes with 33" tires, it is made to carry a 35" spare.

Great pics. Thanks for taking the time to bring the experience to us. Did you happen to see how that rear 'rock slider' on the bed is secured? Is it somehow hooked into the frame?

Thanks for sharing all the great pics. Now to convince the wife this is the perfect replacement to the Silverado she’s driving now. Hopefully pricing will come in close to where the current JL is. Pricing is going to be tough on this one considering both the Tacoma TRD Pro and the Chevy ZR2 Bison are coming in under 50k MSRP. It will be a hard sell for the wife if the pricing gets close to 60k. Considering our LTZ Silverado with a 6.2L has an MSRP of 56k before the massive rebates.

If only DECKED made a system for the back of the JLU...


It's not just a Jeep, it's an amusement park on wheels.

They bolt up to the frame :yup:

Is that a sub woofer next to the removable blue tooth speaker?

I believe so. :cool:

The Gladiator is definitely intended for the die hard Jeeper and will be priced accordingly. Other options available now will make it tough for someone to jump into one without really considering them.

Damn, I really like stingray. But it says late availability [emoji22]

You may have to wait a bit anyway. :rolleyes2:

I want one. Thanks, for the great coverage. Any idea when you'll be able to order?

I was told they were "hoping" by the end of the 2nd quarter.

It appears that all of the trucks at LA have bed liners. Did they say if that they will all get them? It been a topic of discussion whether or not they will come with one from the factory. I have yet to see any come off the line with a liner installed.

Hopefully someone in the aftermarket community is already working on this sweet hood/fender/grill swap for the Gladiator! Diggin' the new Jeep truck for sure.

In the video in the other thread, he said the bedliner was a factory option.

I went today, the proportion of the cab and bed, the over hang looks great. Better in person. The details are nicely done. I was curious on the bed fender and how it meets the cab.
