The red contrast color is a good choice! Looks good with the blacked out badging and grill. I sense a lift coming. Keep up the good work!It was a slow finish to last year, so I didn't really do much in the way of modifications/upgrades and instead was spending money on my other hobbies (PC gaming mainly)
Now with the new year rolling in, I decided I wanted to get back to the mods. First, I wanted to add some personal touches; my wife printed me a custom "DADIATOR" decal for the hood, the name that has kinda stuck to it since we got it. There are some bubbles left but I expect the sun/some heat will help work those out. Also not pictured is the updated O, we ended up taking the center out and doing something different with it instead.
Then, after debating and wondering for months, and especially stressing out over the decision for the past couple weeks, I finally went for my first "large" purchase, some excellent condition Mojave take-offs! I was torn between this and 35s, but right now I am not really looking to do a lift, and the costs of going with 35s were starting to approach 37 territory anyway. This was a relatively inexpensive way to update the look and tire performance without having to do a bunch of supporting mods. I also vastly prefer the look of the mojave wheels over basically any other stock option, so it was an easy choice for me. Don't have them mounted yet, but I should have them done in the next couple of days!
I know 33s are still considered relatively small on the gladiator, and I DO love 35s and especially 37s, but my plan moving forward is to get out and wheel it with the 33s and wear them out while I piece by piece assemble everything needed to go 35s or 37s.
