Jefe’s Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel

I've been thinking of giving it a shot since i have the clayton clearance rear track bar, mostly wondering about between the frame rails though.

Can‘t we take a wheel off and see if it fits?

Hahaha I'm sitting here at work thinking... hmm I'll see if he'll do it and let me know. Then I realized, we have identical setups, except I don't have the track bar.

Can you post a picture of the grab handle installed with the hard top on?

Want to know how much room there is with the roof on

Not sure if this answers your question, but here you go.

Finally got around to putting on my Baja Designs Squadron Pros with the Mopar cowl mounts. Wiring was easy enough, took my time to make as clean of an install as possible and took me a little longer than I’d care to admit, but boy are the factory Aux switches convenient.

The Mopar Cowl Mount I’m not 100% how I feel about yet, they look like over kill for my baby Squadrons. They may or may not stay long term.

What everyone actually came for, pics.

Less than 30 days in and I’ve been ducked in a Walmart parking lot. I feel bad for all you losers who haven’t been validated by a 25 cent duck, ha!

In all seriousness, it was a cool gesture.

A buddy of mine hooked me up with some CBs, antennas and coax. After doing some research on the mounting solutions I think I got a pretty clean set up, no drilling and completely reversible to stock.

Oracle tails are in. They work beautifully with the resistors installed as I’m coming from Halogens.

Hey buddy, curious if you tried this out?

I didnt, i'm still running the generals, but I'm probably going to be moving ko2 39's in the future. Waiting for availability, and then these will go to my parents new gladiator they are ordering from gupton.

I will say, if general made a bigger option i'd be all in, I absolutely love these tires still, so good on and off road.

I'm curious on that, aren't 39's more like a true 37 where as the ATX is a true 37?

I can really see 40's in my future as this thing is so much fun to wheel, but the back does like to hang out too far.

Maintenance is key.

At 10,094 miles today I replaced the fuel filter for the first time. Just took too long to get that 1 and 1/8 socket.

The bfg 39s are 38.5 x 13.5 and about 38 mounted by most accounts should get me not quite another inch of ground clearance and .5 an inch farther out. They're also fairly light though (80 pounds) so they don't bring the 40s penalty.
