Very nice and complete build! How were the JKS disconnects added to the front swaybar? Was it a specific aftermarket swaybar or was there some fabrication involved? Thx, GLWS!

Oh, the plywood underneath is a great idea, I strap everything to side rails/molle but it's not always ideal. Would like some L-track along the floor at times.

I can speak to a couple of these. 1) I think I only have the +2" (10" total) for cabover height and really love it. I haven't lived with the 8", but camp with many GFC folks and they constantly shuffle their bedding into their truck bed while traveling and have issues keeping it clean during the...

From frequent recreational use, in my experience, don't obsess too much on winch brands. In my 4x4 group we don't see many winch failures, and when they do the Warns, Superwinch, and Milemarkers fail as much as the Smittybilts or Badlands. All winches are pretty basic internally, it's usually...

Looks like it sold.

Sorry for your loss Justin. That's an ultimate JT build, GLWS.

Location? Might help if you list the truck upgrades too, Taco + Alucab are great combos, GLWS!

1 of several Kershaw/Gerber/etc folding blades that I've found over the years on trails is always on my person. I've given back a few to the trail/camping gods as well. WFR training is what I've most used in emergencies though throughout the years. Highly recommend at least 1st aid, but a...

Before customizing my rear springs for the camper which would probably give me a ridiculous rake sans camper, I looked at these bracketless jacks as a possible option for removal. The clamps are super easy to take on and off, but I've only done that for installing a bedrug, I haven't removed the...

Do you have any photos of your interior build? That sounds interesting.

This is kind of awesome, I'd never heard of a Centurion mod before, no affiliation: Bring a Trailer

This is also certainly true, even though I really appreciate the amount of swappable parts on my Gladiator with the Wrangler, they did compromise a some on cooling through the grill for the truck. They increased the JL's grill from the JK with the Gladiator/JT in mind, but I'm sure they would've...

This is certainly a benefit owning a Gladiator, takes a lot of parts from the JL Wrangler, pretty much anything from the rear doors forward. Gave me confidence buying a 1st model vehicle, in case Stellantis cancelled the truck. Aftermarket support for my low volume Gladiator is significantly...

That's certainly most of it. I was surprised the high package Tremor was still close to 1500 lbs with metal bumpers, more skids, steps and some beefier underpinnings than a Lariat which is generally close to the same payload with similar creature comforts. The weird foldout door/tailgate on the...

This is also why we're seriously looking at a 250/2500+, I can make a light enough build for a 1500/150, I did for my Gladiator, but getting a 2500+ gives us the option to change our minds later and just get a slide-in or a different slide-in. Which even lightweight ones will put you at 2K lbs...
