Well at least at Wally World(Walmart) :D I saw a large RC version there today.

Looked pretty cool, green color just like the prototype.

It's about the only new Jeep I would consider replacing my Cherokee with.

as for the R/C Gladiator , I saw one in Wal-Mart the other day, neat little toy but more than I'm willing to spend on a "toy" R/C right now.

If they built it like the show truck, but with a Selec-Trac, I'd be all over it!

i saw the toy too its pretty funny it is out of scale if you look at the tires then the spare its like the size of a steering wheel compaired to them.

yah, i would even trade in my Ram 1500 and use it as a tow rig (dont know how well that would work out though). but i like it none the less. guess i will just have to have my eyes on the "rebodied" wrangler for now.

I know i've seen that general color on something before (maybe not a Chrysler). Kind of a cross between military olive drab and baby $hit green :D.

The new petersen's mentions the "possibile introduction of wrangler based pickup" in 2009. Sounds an awful lot like the gladiator to me. :-) (p. 27 under the artical title Future truck plans revealed.
