Gladiator Concept

[Sparty]

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

The tire size/lift is more important (for looks) on the Gladiator than the Wrangler

My wife has a Rubicon JT and it looks decent. I think 35s would be the sweet spot considering cost/performance/looks, and 37s would be perfect for performance and looks

We'll update to 35s when the 33s wear out. Years ago, I would have done this to start, but the prices for 35s today is absolutely insane (don't even get me started on the cost of 37s)

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

At least with the pictured Gladiator you can actually haul stuff. The 4 door bed is way to small. But I am a Wrangler guy and probably would never buy a Gladiator. Nothing against them, just love Jeeps...

Saw a Comanche driving yesterday. Based on how many people on this forum would buy a 2 door gladiator I can’t believe they stopped making it!

I had a Comanche, and a 2 door XJ. The Comanche was fun to drive but the XJ cab shortened to a pickup is very confining. I’m 5’9 and cant imagine anyone any taller being comfortable in one for more than short trips. But, to be fair, most compact 2 door trucks also died out in the US within a decade.

Even though many here would want one, they would probably die out after an initial spike in sales, then a sharp drop after those who wanted one got one.

Now, if Jeep built a plain model for work use and priced it low, they would continue to sell. But Jeep isn’t going to sell a Wrangler based vehicle for mid $20s.
