Expedition JT and I went to Rauch Creek, PA over the weekend—actually starting on Friday.
Here are the two Gladis above our camp waiting to wheel. Expedition JT’s is a stock Rubi mine is the same with a 3” lift and 35s.

Just got my JTR back from the shop. I walked six miles to get there. I could have called a friend or taken a taxi, but felt I the exercise would do me no harm.
So far, I had the following installed:

Any advice on the following is much appreciated.
At times, I’m going to be wheeling my JKR fairly hard.

Getting a full-height Softopper (https://www.softopper.com/softopper) on Monday.

Will sell for $350 to anyone in the NOVA area.
I will post better, more-specific...
I am awaiting a full-height topper that could essentially double the weatherproof cargo capacity of the Gladiator's bed. In the meantime, for $150, I got the following, which adds about 33% to the Gladiator's cargo capacity:
709 miles (mostly highway) on them. The spare has the generic wheel. They are deflated in the pics, as the dealer took the valve stems off when installing my new 35s. $1,000 (U.S.) O.B.O.
