What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[bastage]

Papa got a new pair of shoes!

My kid posing with the pile of tires picking them up from the freight company. I have no idea why she wanted to pose with them, but I am pretty sure its got something to do with instagram.

Specs are 315/70/17 BFG KO2's on Gear Offroad Barricade in 9" wide & 0 offset.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I hadn't decided these would be too wide until too late. To do over again I would of gotten wheels with 24-30 positive offset & a little narrower to tuck the tires in a little. Narrower tires if I could find something I liked that was around the same height as well. As it is I like it, but dont love it.

Little thing. But def makes it look better.

Added the missing hook!

Yes they are silver. If a Rubicon can have red the Overland can have silver.

Did you paint the front hooks to match?

Finally got the Glad back on the road. Did the black grille and pulled the pucks. Switched the tires to BFGs. I had the exhaust done but it drones. Might try to replace the muffler or go with a resonator. Runs great with the supercharger though it needs some tweaks.

I'm trying to see how I can get the snorkel hooked into the aftermarket air intake. Might have to modify the stock box.

Yes I did. With all the other silver trim I figured it would look good.

Found some Willys take offs with almost perfect tread... I dig the wheels and plan to burn through this tread before bumping up the size and lifting it.

So YOU'RE the reason why they give me no choice but to have silver wheels on my Sport S. I couldn't figure out for the life of me who the hell wanted silver wheels on these things, I HATE them, they look terrible. I found the 1 person that FCA talked to that wanted silver on their Jeep! Lol, all kidding aside, I'm glad you like it and it looks different. I want to get my wheels powder coated black though...

Which exhaust?

How did you go about adding that cutout?

Got new shoes for the girl. General Grabber X3s in 37's.

Other than some cosmetic mods (stubby ant, decals, sill guards), this is my first real mod.

BEFORE

AFTER

I had a JKU that I modded a lot, so my intention is to keep this mild as it's a DD for me. With that said, these 37s are on stock Rubicon suspensions and stock wheels. If I end up doing more off-roading, I'll consider a lift later and possibly flat fenders. But for now these will work. No clearance issues at full turn and they are tucked in nicely under the fenders except the sidewalks

Was going to get aftermarket wheels, but the granite wheels are growing on me. With the unpainted fenders and top and various grey trim, I'm going to go for a black and grey look. With that said, I've got the RR Venator bumper on order. That two tone design should go with my build. Hopefully that will be here by the weekend.

Don gave me an outstanding deal, matching a local dealer sale. More impressive was his quick responses and the service at the local store. They have earned all my future business... Which is saying allot considering we have a JKU, mustang, and couple other cars in our fleet.

I struggled with how I was going to do it from scouring online parts sites to thinking of some sort of template from the other side. Turns out it was super easy, there is a square hole in the metal plate behind the bezel so I used a Jupiter 1/8 inch air grinder used for deburring machined parts and used the metal as a guide to make the cut.

Just a mild build on 37s................I like it!

LOL. Well I'll consider it wild if I get 3" +lifts, winch, racks, etc. But my vertically challenged inseam says to wait until figure out if I need them in mild off-roading situations.

Got my hard bed cover on. Was on the fence about soft or hard cover. Got this at a pretty decent price so ended up going this route so I can store some things without worrying too much.
