Normally I'd be saying Kill it with Fire, but in this case, Take the wheels and kill them and the owner with fire. Then take the gladiator...

Some people didn't like the Scrambler when it was introduced either. I saw one at the dealer last week. I think it has potential just maybe not when it looks like the bastard child of a washing machine and a stormtrooper.....
Chrome? Never heard of it.

I saw the concept 2 door in Moab. I would get one of those if they decide to make it but everything I read says it will never happen. The 4 door is nice but is too long to be a wheeler in this part of the country (in my opinion)

I saw my first Gladiator in the wild in Lincoln, NH Sunday. I second Randy's comment: the wheelbase is too long for New England trails. It might make a good overlanding platform, though, where the terrain is usually easier.
