Welp, I picked up my Sting Gray Sport S Max Tow last Friday Oct 18th.
As it currently sits stock, well, except I just dropped it off for its 2” Mopar Lift and 35” BFG AT’s on Fuel Recoils. Its life, mine as well will never be the same from this day forward.
The plan us to take my time (heh, prolly wont actually be that way) and get it up to snuff. My wife and I are avid Mtb-ers and enjoy camping, so a suitable rig needs to accompany our passions.
Anywho, I’ll be updating as I progress with my new obsession.

Does anyone know if Metalcloak has announced an armor package for the JT yet?
They announced some Gladiator specific parts including a full belly pan in a teaser video a few weeks ago, but nothing is out yet. I'm impatiently waiting for their skids for my truck as well.

2” Mopar lift and 35” BFG AT KO2 wrapped around Fuel Recoils installed. Also removed the gas saving aero at the front bumper after I took these pics. Pretty stoked on the color and the ride. Might be going out to Borrego next weekend for some easy wheelin in the sand next weekend. Need some sliders and under armor soon, itchin, itchin, itchin...
Crazy how the color can look so different from itself depending on the angle, whether its sunset or sunrise, bright light or dark.

Installed JKS Quicker Disconnects. Bought the Badlands 12k Winch with a coupon, it was an easy $300 to spend considering.
Need a front bumper that I can install my stock fogs into. Looking for maybe midwidth ir stubby.
Does anyone know if those EAG Bumpers on Amazon are any decent, their less than $300.
Still waiting on my Rocksliders from Ace Engineering, ordered them a couple weeks ago so I guess ai still have a couple weeks left to wait.

Mine took about two and a half weeks. I finally got a chance to test them out yesterday and they held up great. There were quite a few times where I came down pretty hard directly on the slider but you can barely tell from looking at them.

Removed stock bumper, installed new bumper winch, need to get synthetic rope and different shackles. Also considering a different fairlead. Eh, we’ll see.
Need some armor underneath too.
Still waiting on the Ace sliders, spoke with Nick, maybe by next week.

Well, today I installed the Ace sliders, straight forward easy install.

What do you think of that bumper so far? Been circling the drain on this one but no reviews on Amazon. Fit/finish? Build quality? Fog light mounting?
