steering is a wait and see
might have to go to hydraulic?

Why…..why would you do this if you aren’t planning on wheeling it hard?

I'm pretty sure there is a common phrase for these types of vehicles... ?

fenders look great. Any type of running light?

Did you decide on going with a redneck ram or PSC kit.

 

[Rusty61]

Not sure on light yet
they are going to do some road testing next week and decide on steering

 

[Ulauma]

If you're not wheeling it, you shouldn't need hydro steering. Do the Apex steering boost upgrade and that should be enough on-road. Might need to do a steering brace as well.

Looks great!

Where in Texas are you should I ever decide to drop in unannounced to see that up close? ? Nice looking rig. A few feet too high for my garage I’m sure, but otherwise it looks to be sorted out nicely. Good job.

What did you do with the newly added piece of angled metal that was added in 2023 for extra crash protection? The one that hangs behind the passenger side front tire well?

I am out in Boerne. I would love to check it out in person. I am getting ready to build mine out in the next month. I was thinking at going 40s but my local 4x4 shop says 42s are the sweet spot for the Gladiator with the right combination.
