Re: New JEEP Gladiator

Looks like they're taking a page from the old AMC book -- make the most you can from what you have! It's a TJ pcikup, but with extended cab. I like it! Now if they would make that four door wagon style vehicle on the same frame there would be a tough Jeep SUV type vehicle again! The Liberty just isn't as tough as the old XJ. You need an inline six to get the needed low end torque for rock crawling and still have a good gearing range!! The V-6 just doesn't really cut it, nor a V-8. Any real Jeep rock crawlers know what I mean!
