Jeep The RME4x4 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

[Greg]

So close!!

It's off the train in Rolla, CO at the Union Pacific Auto Unloading Facility as of Monday at 6 AM! They have to unload it, put it on a car hauler and deliver it to Grand Junction. Probably be at the dealer next week, unless they hurry and deliver it this week!

I'm pretty sure I just saw Greg's Gladiator

Oops

Dang you beat me to it!!

Glad it wasn’t part of the train car gladiator wreck.

Who wants to bet on Eisenhower tunnel collapsing on a transport truck this week?

It won't take a tunnel collapse, plenty of mentally deficient people on I-70 right now to save Greg from a gladiator

I saw they're going to do the battery assist from the 2.0 on the bigger v6 starting in 2020

Yep, and there are a bunch of guys that are pissed about it.

 

[Gravy]

I've heard so far that's only on the Sahara trim level though

What does that mean to a dumb guy that doesn't know what this is?

 

[Gravy]

Etorque is the real name. It's like an electric supercharger. Instead of a alternator it uses a 48v motor/generator. It's liquid cooled on the 3.6L v6 already in the RAM. 90lb/ft torque at 0 to low RPM.
Really clever stuff. Less need for lower axle gears for starting off the line.

 

[Kiel]

Power takeoff I presume for the v6.

 

[jeepin4x4james]

Yep, that looked pretty bad

Glad it wasn’t part of the train car gladiator wreck.

It's unreal how much they charge for those custom vehicles. I could realistically build that thing for half that, including finding a shop space and putting up a lift, still with a few dollars left over to make it worth my time.

 

[Greg]

Well, my Gladiator has arrived at the Grand Junction dealer today! I'm going to check it out in just a bit, but it won't be ready to pick up until Wednesday and I'll be working out of town! I should be able to pick it up in Saturday.

 

[Hickey]

WOOT!

 

[Herzog]

Oh yes!

 

[johngottfredson]

I'm in town, I'll go ahead and pick it up for you

 

[Greg]

I'm in town, I'll go ahead and pick it up for you

Still needs to be paid for, so go ahead!
