Why in the WORLD were you watching Twister?!?!?! I saw that movie in the theater with my girlfriend sophomore year of college, so it was about 1996. It was a piece of crap then, cant imagine it got better. lol

And yeah, Gladiators are bad-a$$! My cousin had one. A lifted with a pile of lights on it. Real mean looking. Ive always wanted one since.

Its was a concept 5 or 6 years ago.... Jepp wont put out a truck because they want to keep their cousin dodge happy.

Wish they would make it. The gladiator concept was before the JK wrangler, you can see where they got the styling for the jk from.

Yeah, but it would prove once and for all that the Hummer was a Bummer - this jeep can do some work!
