To each their own. For me I didnāt want to have all that weight behind the wheels and thereās a lot more to it as far as wiring and plumbing is concerned.
I was one of the first to get a LRA auxiliary fuel tank for the Gladiator and overall Iāve been happy with it. Iāve done many long and remote trips with it and I believe they have made some improvements to the design as well...
Fantastic journey and write up. Iām truly jealous of your adventure!
Once you start down this path there is no turning back!
Having been to Africa three times Iām now looking into shipping my Jeep to Iceland next year! Haha!
Safe travels.
So far Iām loving the Badlands winch. I tested it by pulling my sonās gladiator and it worked great! Comes with everything you need except the winch plate of course. Super happy I got it. DM me with any specific questions you might have.
Iām coming up on 60k miles and planning on a major service. One of the items on the list is to replace the front and rear differential fluid.
In the rear it specifies 75w-85 (many use 75w-90) but I read that Dana says to use 75w-140 for heavy towing and increased protection.

Wow! Thatās a crazy build! Are you planning on rolling your Jeep or put yourself in a position to roll it? The weight of all that steel negates the consideration of an aluminum bumper IMHO.
But to answer your questions:
Could I tie a steel cage into a 1/4 inch thick alumunim bumper. They...
Dan Grec (The Road Chose Me) us seriously looking into getting one for his next overland rig. If I remember correctly the GVWM has been significantly increased (3000#?) so that doubt the suspension is stock
These are parts not used on my recent aluminum front bumper and Badlands winch install. I live in central NC and also go to Asheville frequently ( actually going tomorrow (4/20)) so I could bring parts out there if that works for you.
The parts include:
-winch cover plate
- license plate...
@GladLad The instruction that are included with the bumper show placing the winch plate on then installing the bumper. After that you install the winch as the bolts that support the bumper and the factory tow hooks are also used to secure the winch plate.
I just finished the install and here...
