awsome!!

We where up in Hungry Valley again. This time to shoot video on the New Jeep Gladiatior, that isnt due to come out till mid/late next year. We met up with a crew called "camra ready cars". the car was "prototype" with no vin numbers so they had it trailered in. Here's some pictures of this new beast.. it does live up to the jeep name in off roading.. .. but the LR3 was more my thing :)

hah, looks like Jeep realized the Liberty was a crappy replacement for the Cherokee.

I've never been an SUV or Jeep fan, but always liked the look of the Cherokee. Too bad they're not bringing back that nameplate.

rough day at work mel, i'm sorry. DUDE, next time you gotta take me ;)

i gotta say, as a HUGE jeep fan, i'm not at all impressed with the gladiator.

personally, jeep means: "short wheel base, no-frills, POWERFUL, off-roader"

as per the gladiator: i can't really argue with power...i'm sure it'll have enough.....but otherwise, it's no jeep to me.



and, imho, the liberty is a great suv...it's a lil bit too 'dodge' for me but i think it's not only a capable off-roader, but a damn good one at that.

the body looks ok, but the wheel/tire package is too small and it needs a slight lift, maybe 2"
