Was able to get my truck flexed out at work today. Ended up with 36 inches to the bottom of the 38 inch tire. I still have room so we will be taking out 1 bump stop in the front and rear to maximize the travel. Here’s some photos.

Looks awesome, those 38s make it look balanced! My sting grey ecodiesel is set to be delivered 11-18 Nov. Doing almost the same build, just Rock Krawler 3.5in X factor. How is the 3.73 gearing and 38s on the diesel? Do you feel like you are going to re-gear in the future? Thinking I might go with 4.10 or 4.56 depending.

Thanks man! I agree, I was never really happy with the 37’s on my last gladiator. I honestly don’t think there is a need for a regear. I still am in 8th all the time on the highway unless I’m accelerating and the power is good still. If your doing 40’s then a regear to 4:10 would make a lot of sense! Save the money for other mods is my suggestion

Had the day off today, so I got the chance to wrap the brake calipers with high heat reflective wrap, and also remove a bump stop. I only did the rears today, because wrapping these calipers are a huge pain in the ass.

Have you though about changing out your bump stop bumpers?

I put the Metalcloak ones in and they have been amazing… the rears only took about 5 mins each to put in andsoo much better!

Finally got to take her out on a proper trip. We went exploring at coliseum mine just outside of Las Vegas. Super impressed and loving how it’s turning out
