I found it to be.... Ugly.

Yep. If they build that, I will buy one.

 

So original.....

 

I hate it when car makers give you a Woody with Prototypes. Sure I understand what you see is most of the time different in the show room because of rules and regs and production problems etc etc but how bloody difficult can it be to offer a Glady with 2 doors. For crying out loud even former East Germany/GDR/DDR offered a Trabant without doors.

 

That is a tragedy. I would switch jobs before giving up my 3rd pedal.

As a further note, I don't see why people hate the wrangler so much. The rest of Jeep is complete trash but the real ones are still pretty good. I think a lot of people are just angry that the FJ Cruiser didn't have a removable roof. Toyota WTF were you thinking with that one.

 

Anyone notice the white taco on the Transporter at the top of the photo?

 

I love them old FJ 40 th,s years ago when I was in Africa you would find them on every Corner they are a blast to drive over there. Of Course tons of old Landies too.

 

That looks suh-weet! I'd hit that!

 

You mean like this?

 

Gladihaters unite! Yep it's ugly, I prefer the CJ5 from the 70s

 

So... if you had to pick one. Would you take your taco or the gladiator

 

Gladiator !!!!!

 

Haha, not gonna lie I wish I would’ve bought a wrangler. I hang out with a bunch of jeeps (only friends I have lol) 2” lift, 37s, moderate trails for me are child’s play for them..

 

I miss my old 68 M38A1 jeep that was built for hardcore Rock crawling , sold it in 1999 so I could buy my Camaro !!!!

 

Depends. My Taco is setup nearly perfect for me as my DD and overlander. But if I'm going rock crawling and need to bring lots of stuff with me, the Gladiator. If I don't, a Wrangler is way easier to drive in the rocks

 

I’d love to keep my taco and buy a 2door rubicon wrangler in the future.. but the wife an bank account disagree..

 

Was it a '99 Camaro? I bet that's one trade I bet you wish you had never made.

(If it was a 60's Camaro I stand corrected. Well worth the trade.)

 

Xoverland has one and it looks alright with the flatbed conversion.

 

I've seen people driving them in our area, they look good modded. But they are really expensive, and no way do I feel like spending 60G plus to get the Rubicon.
The 2019 TRD Pro here in BC with tax now costs $67,400, but that's with no extended warranty and you still have to get insurance.

 

Base Rubicon Gladiator manual trans is $43k US. That's a great price for what you get base. Where the price starts getting ridiculous is when you try to option it.

Jeep packages the options, you can't get one option without them automatically adding another. A $500 option becomes $2000 because something else is automatically added in.

The only options I found that don't come with an additional package is the block heater and the base tow package.
