sting_gray_jeep: My Build Thread

[sting_gray_jeep]

I am new to the forums but thought I would share a little bit about everything I have done to my Gladiator with other like minded people. This is my first Jeep but I have always wanted one since I was a kid. When the Gladiator was announced it was exactly what I wanted, the ability to take off the top and doors but still having a pickup bed. I got mine slightly used and have been loving it ever since. I always call it my adult Lego.

Picked up Willy’s wheels from Marketplace

Nice Jeep. That’s how mine started off. Same color and options minus the color matched top and black grille. Rubicon LE take off suspension and 285/70/18s on the stock wheels when new. Recently I added bumpers, lights and I winch. I need to add a spacer on the front. It used to ride almost level (the LE springs were the stiffest available springs in 2020. Fairly recent pic. It’ll look better after I put a 1.5” spacer up front.

Sold the trifold cover, got the Mopar roll up. Also bought a soft top for the warmer Wisconsin months. Added Billie Bars over the bed with a Yakima Mega Warrior

The spacer definitely was needed after the heavier bumper and weight of the winch!

Added Infinite Off-road RGB rock lights

 

[sting_gray_jeep]

Swapped the Willys wheels and Firestone Destination MTs for Rocktrix wheels and Toyo Open Country ATIII tires. Also added a 1.5 inch Teraflex leveling kit and AEV steering stabilizer.

If anyone has any interest in Rocktrix wheels they have been great! You can also get 5% off with code stinggrayjeep

You can see a big difference in the rake on mine for sure. I like your Jeep. Solid taste in a starting point. lol

Post up! I’ve always liked sting gray/destroyer gray on the mopars. The overland package is great for someone who wants a lot of features and a nice interior and plans to upgrade. That was my rational anyway.

I basically had the same thought. Mine has literally every option. To me I like that more than a Rubicon with cloth seats and non led lighting and the small screen. Plus I like the unique bumpers anyways so no need to get the steel bumper package.

 

[sting_gray_jeep]

Installed the Magnum RT full width bumper

 

[sting_gray_jeep]

Got the Overland Vehicle Systems SCAR 12S winch installed, 4 cube lights from Strands Lighting Division, license plate flip bracket and the skid plate on. Really glad I added the 1.5 inch level with all the extra weight up front.
