I’m biased, but those are some of the best looking tires out there.

Courtesy of another fellow gladiator owner, I was able to negotiate a reasonable trade and procure a premium twill soft top with tinted rear window. I decided to adorn the queen with her new wares for the next few days while it will be nice weather to see if she can handle being accustomed to a “Softer” top!

Decided to refresh the queens dash area with a bulletpoint rail/mount system… decided it was very cluttered and upgraded to the escort maxcam 360 dashcam/radar detector combo…. Great news is that my hardwire uniden cord works perfectly! Woot. Definitely a lot cleaner now

Ugh… the queen got a cracked windshield on Tuesday…. But yea!!! I bought a windshield protection when I brought her into my life, second time replacement so it’s pod for its self twice now… so today she got the open air experience mod for a short time and a new front glass… all good to go.

nice Looking good!. MY Gladiator - #JTRSPARTACUS wears a Twill soft top for about 8 Months a year. Love how easy it is to flip on nice days.

Thank you… yes definitely the soft top is nice… unfortunately I’m headed back to North Dakota for work so I changed out to full hard top today… ugh

My queen wanted to be seen more with the masses. So I got some new equipment to show her off and to for the masses to laugh at me when I talk. I have updated my YouTube channel trying out some new videos… they super short and not very polished but hey it’s us… enjoy!

It’s been a little bit for some changes to the queen… that’s gonna change soon… bunchoparts are coming in to make her just a little bit more fun… stay tuned.

Some parts are coming in and getting on while it’s cold out. I’m super excited for this mod and will be used in Moab when I go this May. Woot. Here is the DRT fabrications hitch skid. Definitely extremely well built.

Got a redline tuning hood strut system. Super easy to install… like 10 minutes for both sides.

In prep to take my queen on a adventure, I installed a Teraflex crankcase system mod to make sure I don’t have issues while there.. sir while offroading.

I also cleaned up inside and got some wires and stuff cleaned up.

If your interested what this is… check out this.

Had a big day today for my queen. She went under a big knife and did basically a few things at once.

I made my own washers with the help of my son & painted them black. Then I ripped out the rear fenders, took off the crappy rear sway bar, installed a rockjock antirock rear swaybar, cut/installed rugged ridge plastic inners, installed rivnuts and “bolted with my fancy homemade washers” with my split fenders… due to time constraints & swearing & broken/missing tools & broken bolts (which I didn’t know I was so manly), the front will be done.

As for the antirock… what a huge difference… if you got the coin… way way way worth it. I can’t wait for my queen to hit Moab here in may.

Alas… finished up surgery on the queen… she’s doing fine now… the cosmetic surgery is awesome looking.

Added the smoked quake led drl fender chop brackets, split my fenders and bolted them all in. Again my son came to help and learn… definitely had fun today with minor swearing. Lol

A video for you
