Just like with the Raptors some company will come out with a kit that will bolt to both sides of the frame rails. These worked on the Ford Raptors. They are simply plates of steel cut to the contour of the frame rails then bolted to the frame rail one kit even had a metal bar from one frame rail to the other. The install looked clean and they worked and they were not expensive, under $500 if i remember right.https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=77698c4dd8860a101816a96837c1073c&oe=5E9660F0
Yup gotta have Mojave all the way

Bigger wheels didn't help any.
Looks like "Federal" on the tires - what tires are they?
Also, in this pic it's hard to tell what's going on with the hitch. It almost looks like a bumper hitch? Or maybe he could have been running an extension in the receiver hitch - can't really tell but based on the bent frame, and the wheels and tires there's likely a LOT more going on with this Gladiator. #notgladiator
Based on the tire and wheel compo I think this JT was modified by South Florida Jeeps and that is one of there hoods. May or may not have an engine swap.Has anyone noticed the different hood as well? It looks somewhat like the new Mojave’s but I’m wondering if there has been an engine swap or something else to give this truck more HP....
Aside from being smart about your trailer choice, it's weight and the load you're going to carry that's key to your success when towing. With that in mind, I'd suggest investing in a tongue weight scale.Oh man i was concerned about this because i'm new to jeeps and i'm getting a camper for the first time soon. However, it sounds like it was a combination of mods and dumbassery so yes, now i'm even more worried.
