I'm at work so I couldn't research this alot, but I saw today on the road what I guess is a Gladiator. It had the Wrangler "cab" with a separate bed on it, looked pretty cool. It wasn't the one (JK, JT I can't remember) with the one piece body, this one was like a pick up.

I guess the new one isn't too bad either, but if you've ever had one of the originals, it's hard to think of it as a real Gladiator.

If had the cash to drop on a TJ, then 8k to drop into the kit...I'd probably build a brute. They seem pretty sweet.

AEV makes some pretty cool stuff. They have a video of their Ass Commander playing in the snow on their web site. They can even make that POS look neato keeno.

That is one handsome truck for sure. Makes todays trucks look like some $400 haircut metrosexual televangelist.

Yea, it was red and I saw it in Euless around 10:00. No it wasn't a Honcho, but I do know where one of them is that is for sale here locally. Looks pretty clean
