Welcome! That is a great looking Gladiator.

Hey there!

New here as a few days ago, been lurking for over a month, and finally signed up.

Coming from a 3rd Gen Tacoma that my 19YO now owns, the Taco is lifted and loaded.

I have owned the Jeep for just over a month and it has become a bigger user of my credit card than the Taco.

I think I really missed the mod side of things, as the Taco was at a stopping point for where I wanted it to go.

Looking forward to posts and questions by others, but also know how to research and search a forum.

That's a fu#@ing nice truck. Tacomas are for girls. One of the greatest skills one can acquire in life is the ability to separate internet fact from bullshit. Good luck, and Godspeed my friend.

Here is my son’s taco prior to the skinny 33’s, sitting with a Dobinson’s lift

I have a leveling kit ready for install, hopefully going in this weekend. Will add the Falcon 2.1 shocks next week with the Falken RT 35’s.

I did install a set of Oracle backup lights with the harness tonight. So much more back up lighting!

Welcome to the club and enjoy the build. It's well worth the adventure.

I have a take off stock rim arriving tomorrow that I will have as a spare to mount the new 35 on

Taco posted! Still get to help maintain it with my son. He will probably own this forever.

So many things To mention for build items.

Already added the KC Flex lights for ditch and on front steel bumper, added my Smittybilt winch, same model as on Taco, great experience with it, added a Ram Mount phone mount with a ball from CMM, Oracle backup lights, Rugged Ridge door liner, put all of my recovery gear under or behind the rear seat, AMP bed extender, Warfab hitch skid, Quadratec engine skid, Desert Does seat jacket on drivers seat, added rubber welting along fender gap, fire extinguisher mount on rear roll cage, and put the dashcam up.

Don’t see this anytime soon

Taco was great, but didn’t want/need all of the cab mount, fender mods for bigger tires

 

[Sinagua]

A lift, 37’s and gears may be a ways down the road

Plan on running on 35’s for a while
