Gladiator's come with 4.10s even in X format unless something changed in 2026...the 4.56 come with factory 35s which the gladiators don't get.

We went for the whole week but we really only do the vendor show and the tiki party, then spend the rest of the time at the beach and just relaxing. It's usually our first real vacation of the year.

I think they are waiting for the one that is (allegedly but probably not before hell freezes over) coming

Most of the fun is the cruise and hang, any jeep you bring will work so make it the one you like to hang the most in is all I mean

33s on a gladiator are about the same as 27-28s on a 2 door for break over angle, just bring which ever one is more fun to drive and cruise in.

Well this will be my first engine swap so I hope it goes well haha. I actually was gonna do it on a 2 wheel drive 07 but I got a screaming deal on a 2012 in orange and sold the 07 to my niece as a first car.

Might want to give them a call they're super responsive on Facebook too. I'm working on gathering parts right now for a 392 swap in to the jk

I keep a small screw driver in the glove box specifically to make this easy

Like in the air box in the engine bay?

Jeep speed shop is just about to drop the jl/jt v8 swaps, will let folks who want to diy it and save cash give it a go.

Bought not built to me means I bought it from one of the dealers or shops with all the mods installed for me and didn't research and understand what I'm buying and why. Typically these jeeps are using cheap parts to achieve a specific look instead of performance and capability. Often these jeeps...

For sure, feel free to say hi if you see my gladiator or the wife's jlu, next year I'll bring the jku I'm currently building but it's disassembled for paint.

On previous years with the lanes a stock Willy's should have been able to tackle everything but the last 2 hardest lanes (and possibly the 2nd hardest depending on how willing to pound it in to submission you were). The staff doesn't really tell you which lane to do based on vehicle build so...

If they go through the hassle of copying my fob, they can have it and I'll track it down with the sirius guardian or get the insurance pay out is the way I look at it.

Lock with the fob to turn on the alarm and engine immobilizer, other than that just don't carry anything you would hate to have stolen

Take whichever one is more comfortable and that you want to roll around Daytona and the beach in is what I'd say. Depending on if you plan on shopping I'd take the gladiator for the extra room to bring home stuff. The obstacle course used to have lanes that ranged in difficulty from wagoneer...

This will be my 6th jeep beach. Friday is always better than Saturday at the event as it has maybe half the people and it's easier to shop around and see the show plus the obstacle course doesn't usually have much of a wait. Either way, this is an event we look forward to every year and the...

I'd worry about the lowers before the frame side if you have a lift and some tires, they're gonna be the main ones that still scrape everywhere. Id still do the rear frame but it wouldnt be a priority over the lowers

Just don't go near the parade side I usually just go north of the hard Rock a good bit and I'm fine

We always stay at the rv oasis near the track. Will be at the party this year too
