Re: Gladiator Actualy I have set up the tooling and design of the clone. I was impressed at the versions of the Jeep made in the Philippines known as the "Jeepney". I saw the need for a lower cost alturnitive to the Jeep with features not available from detroit, like a diesel engine in the Wrangler, a Willys with a/c and independant suspension and now the Jeep Gladiator concept. Lets face it. Detroit will study things till they are blue in the face and then hand us a car that is difficult to work on and parts availibility outside the states difficult.
Dont get me wrong, I am an American and I love my Ford and Chevy and various Dodge cars that I have owned. However now I have come to the point that when I want something to my specs I have to special order it or have it modified to my tastes. Remember when you could go to the dealer and go down a huge checklist of options and get exactly what ou want? I seem to remember that bright red color was a commonly available color instead of impossible to get on a new chevy colorado. ANyways take a look at the pics. I have a ton of orders to fil in the Middle East before I will start marketing in the states. However I am planning on opening up a storefront in Utah in 2006 and exibiting some of my vehicles at car shows then. We have a polished fully stainless steel body HummerClone with a 440 cubic inch rat motor and heavy duty street rod frame on plan as well as a Jeepney Gladiator in a steel body with a modest Diesel engine and Land cruiser drivetrain. When I hear back from the owner of this site I will be having advertising of my upcoming online store for Jeep parts. |
