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...

Clayton seems to be very popular but their advertised height seems to be pretty conservative, many owners have found their 2.5” to be more like 3.5 or higher. Quality stuff none the less and have great customer service. The AEV kit seems like the best one for what I was intending my Jeep to be...

So I have had a gladiator for almost a year now and have loved it. It’s been a slow build since it’s pretty complete for what I need it for which is just day to day driving and some camping/ wheeling in the near by state park. I do have a question for those who are in the know about suspension...

Did anyone have a problem with the second gen frames? They shared the alpha frame with the titans, they were super stout and fully boxed unlike many of the current mid size competitors. I haven’t heard anyone snapping a Frontier frame, there were plenty of examples of Toyota’s, gm-s and even...

To be fair, I’m not against lifting jeeps, I’ve put a lift on each vehicle I have had. My only question was why 37s vs 35s and your answer was more than acceptable, because you want them (you are the only person whose opinion matters). I like 37s and I have a running debate with myself on a...

No offense, but why 37s? Just for looks or what? The additional mass and wear and tear from the jump from 35 to 37s is more than just the price of tires.
