Gladiator Concept

Gladiators have never been my thing (just something about the weirdness of the cab shape), but I would drive this one.

Not far off from this one.

Yeah, looks like the J6 concept.

Ok but get rid of the bug eye tail lights.

I really like these Oracle lights.

Wrapping the center section in black vinyl really wraps up —pun intended— JT’s rear.

Did they ever sort the issues with replacing OEM LEDs with Oracle? It was a definite "rush to market" moment without performing proper testing...

I don’t know.

Years ago I bought a set of Oracle LED head lamps for my 2014 Sahara: they started flickering after two weeks. Got a pair of anti-flicker resistors on Amazon; the flickering returned two weeks later.

I ended selling those LEDs on Craigslist for a fraction of what I had paid.

Pretty sure that you were not alone in that...the current versions are not much better when it comes to LED replacements, but work fine with non-LED systems.

@Rhinebeck01 - spent considerable time researching/communicating about the issues with them.

Not bad, but it still needs a chase rack or something behind the cab. That right angle where the roof meets the rear window just looks awful to me.

(Don't tell my truck I said that. He's still waiting on a rack...)

I tried my hardest to like the Gladiator because I could get like $4k off in manufacturer rebates. They're just ugly..... UNLESS.... they're lifted and on 37s and decked out for overlanding. A stock street Gladiator is hideous to me.

If that had been an option, I absolutely would have ordered it instead of my 2-door JL.

I would only buy a Gladiator if they made a 2 door.

I have never been a fan of the Gladiators until I saw a few builds recently at Jeep Bash

i was waiting to see a new gladiator on the lot so i can have a better look at the truck. at first i didnt like how stretched it looked. so ended up getting the jl sport. now seeing the gladiators for a while in different colors, i'm liking it. i would consider in getting one as a 2nd jeep. however, i would love to see a 2 door version of the gladiator like the j6 to be built. i would jump on one in a heart beat. i like the rendering of the 2 door truck. but dont like the way the top is angled. also the black sticks out too much. it would look better with a color matched top.

I agree, stock Gladiators look weak. But give it a bit of a lift and increase the tire size and they look mean!
