Awesome build.

I’m just going to leave this here. https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/cars-trucks/why-you-need-a-heavy-duty-pickup-truck/

Not going to lie. This is the exact setup I am looking to build. I too have a gladiator in stingrey and I’m looking to be able to put a motorcycle or two on the trailer and use it for camping. These are two other builds that I am Using as a starting point (yours too). My main concern/...

I have centerforce waiting to be installed, I’m looking forward to seeing the difference. My beater vw golf idles and crawls up inclines better than my Jeep… :(

The size difference is insane.

The bumper sticker says it’s a US test vehicle. That’s interesting to say the least and a good sign for the US. Also, that is a fairly deep bed if it has that much of 30 or 31” tire poking over the bed rail.

I was just razzing your. And you are correct about the entrainment and the cruiser being able to crawl to finish the race. Like in Monty python amd holy grail, it’s just a flesh wound!

Not on the gladiator, only on the wrangler FYI, I have about 50k on a 2020 gladiator rubicon 6spd with 35s. A regear would be great so would a new clutch. Those two aren’t necessary for what I do, but just items that I would think would push it over the ledge from good to great. I’m currently...

You do remember in that special, the fj40 was also the only one that didn’t survive correct?

Like most things, it depends. At the end of the day you are just riding in a big box with solid axles. From the factory, the rubicon suspension left many thing to be desired. Good shocks and different springs changed how the Jeep handled long distant travel for me. Stock, my back would start to...

37s cross into a territory that in my opinion isn’t necessary unless boulders are your thing or if excess stress on the vehicle is something you plan on remedying down the line. The 3rd gen Dana 44s are stout and can handle most of the stress but there are other things to consider. The...

Aev makes great stuff. You can’t go wrong with it. From your previous build, you probably realize the price for top tier stuff is in the engineering. Aev took the time to make a kit that increases the ride quality of the Jeep for both on and offroad. Most Aev kits include the geometry bracket...

Yeah I realized after posting you had referenced them previously. I was lazy, sorry. Good work on the finds though. Any specifics on your build plans for the rubicon? I have had mine for a little under two years and have over 40k clocked so far. The stock rubicon springs and shocks do not make...

There are a couple of decent articles on expo portal. Links follow: https://expeditionportal.com/five-things-we-love-about-the-jeep-gladiator-mojave/ https://expeditionportal.com/why-the-jeep-gladiator-mojave-is-a-middle-finger-to-the-competition/ Not going to lie, I dig my rubicon. If you...

Not going to lie, the eibach springs and Bilstein 5100s have been a great setup for me so far. The rear holds weight a lot better and the on road comfort is better. I did about 2000miles in less than two weeks back in December and compared to the stock setup I had way less fatigue and the truck...
