Is that Parts and Labor or just Labor
I would check multiple places for quotes. Sacramento Offroad Solution in Woodland, The Chop Shop in Dixon, Anyone's Offroad in Fairfield, I would also check a couple places in Sacramento as well. Places in Sac like Hunters 4x4, Specialized 4 wheel drive...
I remember when the only two places to buy Jeep parts were JC Whitney and Quadratec. I still have good customer service and experiences with Quadratec but they usually are more expensive than other places. They have always done right by me.
Like everyone is saying, it really depends on personal need. I have a Gladiator Rubicon, my girl has a JLU Rubicon. Both are very capable vehicles, hers is better on certain trails and obstacles, mine is better on dump runs and trips to home depot LOL. The wheelbase is manageable on the trail...
Shouldn't be an issue at all, I had 5 37" tires in the bed of my truck. Since I needed to take them 60 miles on the freeway home, I did strap them down with a cargo net. When I took them across town, I fit the 5 tires and rims in the truck. Although the rims were in the back seat with the seat...

I've tested it before and it took me...
If it originally had the max tow package added it should have 4.10 gearing.
If it doesn't then I believe from Rocky Ridge it would be either the original 3.73 (if not max tow) or they have an optional upgrade of 4.88.
Metalcloak is one of the best companies as far as products, customer service, etc. I try to go with their products all the time. The only reason I haven't bought the skids is the weight. If you're Gladiator is your daily driver, I don't know if you'll want to drive around with 179 lb. skids on...
Sometimes pictures don't do these certain Jeep colors justice. My girl felt like that when she was buying a wrangler, I showed her a picture of a hella yella Jeep and said it's ugly. She goes and looks at it in person and its now in the garage! Lol, I can't wait to see one of these in person.
