GladiatorCruzen’s Build Thread

[GladiatorCruzen]

I traded in my 2019 Miata RF Club BBS/Brembo/Recaro after reconnecting with my high school sweetheart after 25 years. She has two kids and the RF just wasn’t going to cut it. Jeep dad was the only solution!! This is my 3rd Jeep, having owned a 1990 YJ and a 1978 CJ7. I’m absolutely loving the Gladiator. I ordered it from Covert Jeep in Austin TX. 2021 Max Tow Sport S with V6 automatic, 8.4 Unconnect, Alpine, spray in liner, and slush mats.

First mod, same as many of you. Rydonair antenna from Amazon.

Next up was some LED light bulb replacements for the front headlights, turn signals, DRLs, and figs. I plan to install some full LED headlight housings at some point.

Nice upgrades, but should have found a way to keep both vehicles. Ask how I know, I miss my Boxster

Yeah, I miss it too. I told the wife I might look for a used Miata ND in a few years, to make a track car....

Dude. How tall is your garage? Makes your gladiator look small!

Looks great! That transformation always shocks me. From ugly, long truck thing to one of the best looking trucks out there. Love that color as well.

Any more pics of these? Looks like they mount to the pinch seam like factory rails, is that correct?
