Hello Skull_squadron. Good gracious, I hope not! Just looking I would say all plugs are accessible with the cab on. Of course, with a brand new conversion, I have not gotten to the point of plug replacement myself. Maybe someone else who has had an AWA conversion long enough to have changed...
For Sale: Mishimoto baffled oil catch can in perfect shape. Clean. Includes hoses, mounting bracket, etc. Best price I saw on the net for a new one is $216 plus tax plus shipping. So how about $100 plus shipping for this one. I think I can get it to fit in a USPS Medium Flat Rate Box so...
Picked the Gladiator up on 3-17-26. That would be one month to the day that I took it to Exodus4x4. Drove it home taking a side trip and put about 450 miles on. No issues at all. Runs good, rides good, handles good and sounds great!! Every thing works. I believe it has a MagnaFlow muffler...
Got the call from Exodus4x4 this morning - Gladiator is ready! We're driving down to New Braunfels Sunday and picking the Jeep up Monday morning. TO BE CONTINUED

Dropped the Gladiator off at Exodus4x4 Monday morning, 2-16, as scheduled. Drove the nearly 300 mile trip down to New Braunfels Sunday and spent the night in order to be at the shop at 7:00 AM opening time. I hope to have some "work in progress" pics as we go along and, if I do, I'll post...
In anticipation of some "during and after" conversion pictures, I thought I'd post a couple of "before" pictures. Almost stock, 2020 Rubicon. It does have an AFE CAI and a Flowmaster FX cat back exhaust.

Hello Itdodge. I did not call AMW, but I did email them with some questions and they were non-responsive. Exodus' good reputation plus the fact that they are "only" about 270 miles from me, made them the logical choice for installer. Also, I like the idea of having my installer relatively...
That is a definite possibility. However, I do not have a good place to store it and I would really rather not have to fool with it. I would much rather have someone (hopefully a forum member) who could use it, pick it up in New Braunfels. If I ship it to my house I feel like I would have to...
Hello Legacy_etu. I don't plan to if I can find somebody who would like to have the take off stuff and is willing to pick it up at Exodus or arrange for shipping. I just do not have any way of bringing it all home myself.

I'm 82 so waiting on Jeep to do anything is likely not a very good plan for me. And even if a turbo 4 were to happen, it still would not sound like a Hemi. :) For me, its a Hemi and the time is now.

Hendawg_JTR, thanks for that info. I have no idea what mine would be worth. The way I look at it right now is, "anything at all would be better than nothing" so if someone has a need for the 3.6 drive train, message me and we can talk.

I just wired my deposit to get the ball rolling on an AMW 425/345 conversion by Exodus on my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. I'm located in North East Texas so Exodus in New Braunfels was a good fit geographically. I spent a lot of time doing due diligence and found Exodus' reputation for this work is...
When I was six years old, the vehicle I learned to drive was my Dad's 1948 CJ-2A. Had a bunch of Jeeps since - currently a 2020 Gladiator. It sure is a lot different from the '48 model.
I have the Flowmaster FX on my 2020. I am pleased with it. Quality materials and construction. Fit was good - it tucks up nicely. Sound suits me. Nice tone under modest acceleration, LOUD when you really get on it, no significant drone.
