Well done! Who are you going to have build your driveshafts?

I typically have Adams build my driveshafts, but I plan to make a few calls today to see if I can find someone local to make them quicker.

It was too dark to get a decent shot of the shaved 14 bolt last night.

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

Your 2.5 ton steering components look a lot like my RPM 2.5 Ton JT Steering Kit but I didn't get mine painted - thought about it but didn't.

Another husband/wife pair. I had 60 days to build hers last spring for Jeep Beach in Daytona. Mine is going to be much milder.

Hey! Those are "my wheels!"

This thread is turning into a Fuel Red Zephyr wheels thread

Here's my husband-and-wife vehicle pic (don't tell her but they're both mine)

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.

Where did u get the Gladiator decal for the truck bed? Looks really good with the black wrapping.

Not sure that's a decal as it looks raised (has thickness)

It's the Hauk Offroad tailgate badge: https://haukoffroad.com/shop-by/jt-products/jt-gladiator-tailgate-badging-kit/

Nice! The Wife and I are also doing the JT/JL thing. Both of us same wheels/tires, 2" Mopar lift and Fox 2.0 shocks. Hers: JLU/White, Mine: JT/Firecracker Red.

Awesome to see other couples doing this.

What's next, swapping?

What's next, swapping?

I swear everytime my wife has me drive her Jeep the light is on.... I refuse to believe it's some sort of coincidence.
