First Gladiator Mods

[smoverland]

Hey all,

I'm trying to gauge people's interests and priorities with these trucks and weigh them against what the aftermarket industry seems to think. Feel free to contribute!

Edit: Wheels/Tires were left off intentionally as they are not Gladiator-specific and are the most common initial mod by far!

How about adding tires most people are doing that first

I left that off intentionally because I feared it would skew the results and I'm interested in the mindset of aftermarket manufacturers vs. consumers.

Well that’s no way to be

I haven't seen one of these with a manual yet, but the automatic is pretty dang quiet, too. You'll have to post a before and after comparison once you get your truck!

Yeah...I've heard people to complain about revving too high during takeoff because the engine is so quiet. So I plan on fixing that off the bat. But, if I dont seem to be having that same problem, I may go with something else. I've already ordered new hood lettering and a badge, but I dont consider those "mods" as much as personalization

Can't wait to see how your build progresses! I'll keep an eye on the Build Journals for yours.
