Looks great, I am looking forwared to watching the build!

I shortened my post a lot from original so I see where the confusion comes from. I will be moving to Europe for 4 years hence why I have the ability to no kidding purchase a 70 directly from a current owner, all while getting someone else pay to import it to the US when I return home. The one...

double post, see below

Here are a few of my own thoughts on the 70, and I think it echoes much of what has already been said. Family of 4, planning on going to 5. I have been cross shopping the 70 vs a used Rubicon unlimited. $25k gets you either one with about 100k miles on it. The vehicle will be my DD, never...

I hope this is not too late, but as someone who has been stationed in Germany and travelled around Italy, you will come to hate your PowerWagon if you bring one over. I had a 2 door Wrangler, usually considered a small car in the US, with a mild lift and 35s. In a normal parking spot in the...

The customers said we want something for slick roads. We were thinking of blasting through blizzards on the way to a ski resort or cruising down forest roads out West. What we (at least the members of this forum) wanted was a modern E-Series 4x4 conversion from the factory that we could just...

I suspect that minus a few delears, AWD will be a special order option that dealers will not carry on the lots. This is typical for an expensive option that most buyers will not want. For example, the Sprinter 4x4 is a special order with a wait list several months long, you wont find one on a...

For the front axle, I know this is a crazy idea, but could you do a drop with gears like you would do with a portal axle? You would need three gears of course and an output of 1:1. Maybe something that bolds to the trans, diff, or maybe a mid-point cross member.

I just found this thread, what a great read! I look forward to all of the progress you will make on your build this winter once your work building is complete!

A Raptor Van would be awesome. Based on the info above, it sounds like a low range will not work/fit, but a very low first gear and hopefully a center lock should be good enough for most people.

I think most people go for fans (Fantastic Fan or Maxx air) or a window style AC unit from Walmart. You can always build a duct system for a cheap window unit out of aluminum and PVC/aluminum ducts. Another option would be for a split style unit like the ones Mitsubishi makes, but I dont know...

Thank you!

I dont remember if this was covered, but roughly how much did it cost to have this shipped back to the states?

My comment was meant to be a bit of a sarcastic poke at Jeep. Although I would only buy one as a 4 door, I know many people would prefer a 2 door. When they were first building the JK Wrangler, they demoed a truck but the bean counters decided not to build one because it would never sell. So...

April Fools! Besides, no one wants a 2 door Gladiator anyways... It would never sell...

As a long time Jeep guy, I would love it, but I highly doubt it. The engineers have been saying since the early days of the JK that they could easily put a V8 in the Wrangler if corporate would let them, and a dozen years later, the answer is still no. As discussed earlier in the thread, I...

There are a few other items like higher fenders, larger stock tires, electronic sway bar disconnect, and a few other items come included with the Rubicon that are options on the S; but far and away the most expensive/hardest to change item is the 4:1 low range transfer case. The price...

Also, lots of details about towing / hauling The Engineering Behind the Jeep Gladiator's Tow Rating, and Why the Diesel Will Tow Less

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator Costs $35,040 To $62,310–Here's a Full Price Breakdown The prices have been announced!

Very well said. As someone that already has a rock crawling Wrangler, my use case for the van is something that can handle an unexpected slippery spot on a maintained forest road. As for something really good off-road that you can still live in, I expect there will be a booming business...
