Husband Gladiator and Wife JL build(s)

[TTEChris]

Took some pictures with my Wife's JLU and Business partners JL at a local distillery.

Installed a @JcrOffroad half rack and Mauler front bumper. Loved my old bumper but the new bumper allowed me to fit the VR EVO 10s winch.

Rotopax and Maxtrax mounted on the @JcrOffroad half rack. Time to start shopping for a tent

How is the skyjacker lift doing? How is the ride/handling?

How is the skyjacker lift doing? How is the ride/handling?

Skyjacker lift is doing great. The ride/handling are much better than I would have expected for an entry level kit & shocks. It is a bit firmer than stock, but still softer than most customers JL's I drive with M/T's.

I will be going to coilovers in the future because I enjoy tinkering with the suspension, but I have no problems continuing to daily drive with this kit until those options become available.

Your truck is looking great. Will you be adding a roof top tent on the JCR rack?

Thanks!
Once I get my axles installed I will start shopping for a tent to go on the rack. My issue is I would like to fit in the garage with the tent installed and still be able to comfortably fit with my Wife.

My Wife and I also have the Gladiator/JL husband /wife combo. Relationship "Building" at its finest!

They look great!
While having two Jeeps and a wife that loves them is amazing, it sure can get expensive!

Haven't updated this in a while.

We installed a Rival4x4 Alluminum front bumper

Added some decals to the fender vents and rear. Also installed a Hauk Gladiator badge.

My Fusion 4x4 Axles finally arrived.
We decided to go with a Kingpin 60 front, and a 14 bolt rear(shaved to 13 for clearance).
5.38 gears, 2.5 ton steering components, and ARB lockers.

Ordered a set of Metalcloak arms, stripped the bushings out and sent them off to powdercoat along with the diff covers and steering components.

Powdercoater sent me a message yesterday that all my parts should be ready by Monday so I decided to spend Sunday pulling everything apart.

Great Builds!

What are the specs on your wife’s Fuel wheels? They look to have more offset than a -12
What brand of beadlocks are you running?

Thanks!

The wheels on my wife's are Fuel Zephyr beadlocks with a -38 offset

Wheels on the Gladiator are Spyderlocks with the same offset

Finally have the Fusion4x4 axles, and metalcloak arms

under the Gladiator. I still have a good way to go, but at least I can measure and order driveshafts
