Hello everyone, the time is nearing where I'll be ordering my Gladiator! I'll be ordering through Gupton thanks to all of the feedback and help from this forum. What I'm struggling with is choosing between the base Willys and the Sport Altitude package. Part of me really wants to "K.I.S.S." like...
Originally planned on running these JK wheels on my gladiator purchase, but plans change. These wheels were taken off of my 2015 JK several years ago and have been garage kept. They are in great condition, no rock rash. I am not interested in splitting it up and looking to get $450 firm for the...

I've toyed with this idea over the past year or so...
Thanks for the responses everyone, I had a feeling dropping the cummins in the gladiator frame would likely be a no go. The point of this endeavor would be to save what's best from my dad's truck and apply it to something that I would be able to have as a fun/long term toy. I think I'll blend...
Little intro/back story:
I've been a peruser here since almost the beginning of gladiator forum and have enjoyed many of the helpful and crazy discussions over the past couple years. Yes, I've been drooling over them since they were released but I'm biding my time to buy because of some...
