Agreed. But cool how they paid respect to the namesake and their heritage. They only began crushing it, then the Gladiator crushed back, so I was ok with it then.DustinLangston wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Naq2yFT ... tion=share
Awesome commercial, but so sad to see a very good looking Gladiator get crushed.
I need to find that scrap site, apparently it is in an airtight dehumidified alternate universe somewhere. I never come across any that aren't 1000lbs lighter than the original curb weight due to lack of metalwill e wrote:from the description: "This inoperable 1963 Jeep Gladiator depicted here was sourced via an online scrap sales site.

I hope they stopped it before they ruined the grill.

It was not, see my post above.
Come visit arizona or so cal junk yards. Nothing rusts here really.Phils67 wrote:I need to find that scrap site, apparently it is in an airtight dehumidified alternate universe somewhere.

Here in NY even the brand new trucks are rust buckets after a few years. This new stuff they put on the roads in the winter is like acid. Its really unnecessary. Sand worked just fine. Hell, I would even be ok with salt before this magnesium chloride sh!t. You can literally watch your sheetmetal disintegrate from it. 2 years ago I had a XJ with mint rockers in September and by March they were swiss cheese.

Off topic, but thats a reason to buy an F150, aluminum doesn't rust, and unlike say, GM, the frames are e-coated (GM wax coats their frames).Phils67 wrote:Here in NY even the brand new trucks are rust buckets after a few years.

CGI touchup of the thing can make a very rusty Jeep look nearly pristine.Phils67 wrote:I need to find that scrap site, apparently it is in an airtight dehumidified alternate universe somewhere.
