Gotta say, bigger tires and wheels definitely makes it look more like a “truck.” It stands tall and proud and I dig it.

I went sand wheeling the other day with a nice Blue JT, and it was pretty freaking cool.
 
I saw a sting gray Rubicon Gladiator in town last week. It has really grown on me, and I like it. But the J6 is perfect and I'd buy one in a second.

Agreed 2-3” lift and 37’s I like them a lot.

J6 with a bench front seat to fit 3 and I would buy one right away.
 
I had seen a good handful of the Gladiators around the past 6 months and wasn't all that crazy, until I started seeing more with a little lift and bigger meats and I think I'm a believer now. I'm by no means on my way to the dealership to go buy one, but after a few years I could maybe see myself getting one. Lousy picture but here's one of my customer's JT's at work after he lifted it and put better wheels and tires on it.

They sure look great, but I still don't get it. For the price of one of those you could get two small used trucks like a Tacoma AND a TJ with money left over. Both would do their own jobs better than a Gladiator.

Very true, but some people just want 1 vehicle. It’s a niche market no doubt tho

I’d cut the bed down and then it might look cool and be worthy to off-road
