EVO 4.5" / 38" desert trail Gladiator build

[Desert Outlaw]

Wow, I just realized the Adams Driveshaft either never shipped out 1 month ago or it did ship out and was 1. returned or 2. walked away.. I have some tracking down duties tomorrow.

Measurement shows I have 6" of front lift.

Good news!

1. The alignment shop where I had my truck towed will complete my suspension lift. It really is a 2 man job. They will be finished on Friday.

2. 38" Patagonias arrive at WalMart tomorrow.

3. My Adams driveshaft will arrive via FedEx tomorrow.

Lots to look forward to!

Today, my tires arrived!!

By comparison, my TJ runs 35x12.5r15's

Northridge 4x4 was able to have my driveshaft shipped out in 2 days from Nevada. This is my last item needed for my build - until a driveline component breaks or needs to be upgraded.

Tomorrow, I will seek out a tire shop that can mount/balance my tires. The Gladiator is still having its suspension/steering installed, so I will have to use my compact TJ Rubicon to move the tires and wheels from point A to point B. Tomorrow is the last day that the team at Dave's Alignment will be working on my Gladiator.

I’ve got one of those (Adam’s driveshaft)

I picked up my truck at 4 p.m. and I couldn't believe the amount of lift the truck now has! My friend Bobby gave me a ride in his 2007 Rubicon with 4" of lift and 37" BFG KM2s. Parked beside his JK, my JT is actually taller - with the stock 33" Falken AT3Ws. Bobby was surprised as was I. The crew at Dave's Alignment did a fantastic job installing the rear portion of the lift and aligning the front end.

There are still 5.5" clearance to get into my garage. I will find out tomorrow when I receive my wheels and tires from Bud's Tires.

I`m doing my RK 3" Pro X lift myself and three days in i`m still not finished. A second or third person would make life easier.

Yes, I like to wear all of the early punk/hardcore t-shirts (on my days off from work).

Nice. Not many ppl would know who they are. Obviously great taste in music and vehicles. You had me listening to them at 1:30 in the morning. Great looking build.
