Apparently it will be called "Scrambler" and be available as a softop!

Production is scheduled to start in November of 2018.

NOT SOON ENOUGH!!! :rant:

1 - I wish they'd give it full rear doors, like a Tacoma, but it'll have those silly slants again.

2 - Really wish they'd build this!!!

If they truly take design cues from this, I want the built in step behind the rear doors!

Can't wait

I would think that if they don't have to have the slant for rear wheel clearance, that they won't. However it would be a serious cost savings for them to not have to buy the tooling for a third door type(Front for two and four door, rear for Unlimited, rear for Scrambler). Someone will have an aftermarket grill available the day of launch for the gladiator look, bet if the bed is not like that, one will be available shortly on the aftermarket as well.

The JT will use the same front/rear doors as the JLU - so yes, rear doors on the JT will have the slant.

Shame, but millions saved that would have been passed on to the buyers.

Cobound · 11-27-2017, 02:49 PM

Oh, there is already a front clip for the Gladiator style look...Teraflex did it on a couple of theirs.

I googled it then threw up in my mouth a little.

Cobound · 11-28-2017, 03:35 PM

Yes, those things are ugly as hell. Fab Fours stuff is the utmost garbage on the market.

Sadly, it won't end

Jeepin Jason · 11-28-2017, 09:02 PM

Oh, it gets worse... they’re now making Grumpers for fullsized trucks...

HOLY CRAP! Those Grumper grills are cool! I hope they make one for the XJ soon.

Kurt · 11-30-2017, 01:49 AM

Theres a JKU around here with 33" tires, MAYBE 35's, that has the FULL grumper kit. Grill, vicowl, fenders, door covers....everything. Burns my eyes.
