    50k for a hardtop rubicon isn't terrible if it came with a few more standard features. Give them a few years on market and new price they actually sale for will go down.

    Stock they ride about as good as a tacoma in comfort, the last wrangler I drove long term was a fully loaded 2014 JKU rubicon, they both have less room than most sedans and less comfy.

    The rubicons come with 33s stock and can fit 35s stock on the Gladiator. That would make it look nice, and from everything I've read that 8 speed does great putting power down.

    Also wheelbase as far as approach and departure angles are great, Idk about the breakover though.

    Looks good on 40s @whitedlite. Too much lift though

    There have been a few in Huntsville, but with major mark-ups on them.

    This is the OG 40 Gladiator by EVO. Its built to crawl anything and go everywhere, but its also an overland rig. Ive been watching videos of this thing and its badass. Just wish it didnt have a chrysler driveline.

    Can’t be much worse than what we currently have. I think the 3.6 is a proven engine, I’m sure it’s had a few lemons that you can google, but same goes for any engine if you look for problems online you will find them.

    I wish they could have kept it tried and true with the inline 6 ,4.0 or some variant. I've had great luck with all my Chrysler drivetrains 4.HOs included. At least my frame is solid and drivetrain is still running strong.

    I'd love to have one as a DD.

    Combining Chrysler and Fiat together was like adding vomit to your shit sandwich. They are both really bad at pretty much everything from design to build quality. Chrysler just happens to have some marketing geniuses keeping them alive with the SRT stuff.
