Boxes have been showing up for the past week and today the tires showed up. Taking the grill in to get wrapped satin black and getting the windows tinted. Then this weekend me and the youngest boy (27 yrs old) will be getting the lift and tires on!

Well, got thru all the boxes this weekend and got the tires on. Sorry no awesome trail scenes or big flexing. I live in Kansas and it is -----------------here. But this is how it turned out. Oh and that is the camper I will be pulling with the Gladiator when I go on vacations and such. It weighs around 3500 LBS.

I installed a ROCK KRAWLER 3IN MAX TRAVEL NO LIMITS SUSPENSION SYSTEM - STAGE 1 , VISION WHEEL OFF-ROAD 111 NEMESIS 17x9 with -12 offset in gun metal. MIlestar Patagonia M/T 37x12.50/17.

Next will be the front bumper and a winch which have. Plus a regear is in the near future. Probably go with 4.88.

That turned out really nice. What lift and tire size did you go with?

Updated the post. I realized I did not put that in after I hit submit.

Well here is how it sits as of now. Finished putting on the Rugged Ridge Arcus front bumper, Badlands 12000 lb. winch and getting the windows tinted.

Next couple of weeks will get the 4.88 gears installed. Then stop for a bit.........well guess I still need some type of step side rail sliders. But that is taking some time to decide what style. So guess that classifies as done for a bit.

Lol, garage is only for storage. I couldn't fit a vehicle in there if I wanted too.

With drive train now complete with the 4.88's and the axle truss already installed with the lift. Time now to get the gears broke in and the lube changed then hopefully go on a little trip pulling the R Pod camper. Maybe Colorado, Wyoming?
