JP's Super-Duper-Gladiator Build Thread

Day 27:
Changed my TazerJL to a TazerJLMini
I have a buddy at work that bought a JL Rubicon. I was showing off the TazerJL to him and he wanted one, so I sold mine to him and ordered a mini.

Installed my major Amazon Prime day purchase:

There's thoughts. 4.56 maybe?

I practically have a 7 speed, it seems like it prefers 7th more than 8th.

But again, I'm not a hard core rock climber, if so I would have gone a different way.

Also My Rubi is 4.10 now, the folks putting 37s on a sport or overland will probably need to change out of those 3.73s or they'll have to drive off a cliff while flooring it and MAYBE hit 8th while free falling.

So how does it feel with the 4.10's and 37's currently? I'm debating on going this route, but do tow my boat some and I am very interested in your thoughts. Great job so far, I really like it.

FEELS GREAT, not towing anything.
IF I towed regularly, I'd either go 35s or regear.
I think trying to pull a boat with any regularity on the 37s is too much.

Hauled a 80" TV for a buddy today:

Received my MOLLE stuff from @BuiltRight THANK YOU SIR!!!

Behind rear passenger side:

and I was so happy to hear my LE would have MOLLE straps on the seat backs.
In reality, I don't like them, so I just put in the MOLLE assembly that I had from my ZR2.

if anybody with the TAN interior wants one, I have a Cayote one available.

hey @JP1 great build thread. You're doing great in the pictures department!

One question - the bull bar, how does it affect the front trail cam? Did you take a picture of that already and I missed it?

I love their product line when looking. Stupid question maybe, but the price listed, is that for one side only? or did you get both sides for the 400 and change?
