Having built our 3.6l Gladiator we already have a general idea where we want to end up with this build.
I’ve wanted a diesel wrangler since my first JK in 2012 so when it came time to start over the Diesel seemed like the logical choice.
In the first 150 miles the Diesel feels so effortless to drive compared to the 3.6l that always seems like it’s trying so hard.
First off our previous 3.6l JT
Current build progress
We took delivery of our Hydro Blue Diesel 11/30/2020
Prior to taking delivery we ordered a set of Dynatrac 60/80 axles, 43x15 Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires. The axles are set to arrive sometime in January. We had a set of KMC Grenade Beadlocks on order, but may cancel due to availability and go with another set of Spyderlock’s.
I picked up a set of used 18” Spyderlock’s with 37” KM3’s that I will be running until the axles arrive. Surprisingly they fit at stock height with minor bumper trimming, but I plan on temporarily installing a small spacer lift and a quake fender chop that we have ordered.
While we are waiting on axles we will be deciding what bumpers to run, but currently we are on the fence between Motobilt and Artec.
Much more to come
