Traded in a 2017 Ram 1500 2" lift 35" Grabber X3 red letters, exhaust, pedal commander, cab clearnace lights and all the bells and whistles for this new 2021 Bright White JT max tow.
Mods are 2' Mopar lift, Blackhorse Roll / light bar, factory M9C retro graphics. 35" General Grabber ATX, Quadratec white retro aluminum wheel, N-fab side steps, matching premium soft top material tonneau cover (still needs to be installed) and Quadratec QRC winch bumper with winch (still needs to be installed) and a 2nd rear tow hook to be installed this weekend.
Been a fun project so far. Love the AMC jeep graphics on the center caps, and the AMC Jeep badge on the rear tailgate. Still looking for a company to match my side graphics for a top of hood scrambler style decal. Adjustable track bar goes in this week and then LED lighting all the way around.
Pleased of the outcome so far

I love those wheels! And the graphics are spot on, love the coloring. White is a great palette. What did you do to the fenders? Looks like you painted the plastic fenders? Am I seeing that right?

Nice build. You planning a hard tri-fold Mopar tonneau cover or soft cover? My overland came with the hard cover off the lot - - which is awesome for security and keeping it dry, but don't think I could do a chase/roll bar because the cover sits on the lip of the bed.

Thank you. I did a soft tri-fold. Fits with the chase bar, but I lose the last fold. I either tie it up to the bar or take the 5 minutes to remove the cover completely if I need the extra room. Wife has a 1500 ram so if we haul anything large in the bed, we use her truck

Amazing looking jeep. How do you like the grabbers? My mechanic swears by them, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet. I don't think I've seen grabbers on another gladiator except yours.

I love them. Ran the Grabber X3 red letters on a fullsize ram. Great tires too but not very well in snowy slushy or wet pavement. Broken traction in intersections quite a bit. But they were a beast on Mud, snow, sand, and gravel.
The ATX's are awesome on all road conditions. They will clog up in deep gooey mud, but they're not meant for that. As a AT tire and a very well behaved street tire, they are the best. Quiet, no noise, balance well, etc.
Hope this helps

I love those wheels. Distinctive look for sure, in a good way.

Thank you very much. I was expecting black flares and was kind of bummed when I was made aware that white painted flares were std equpment on 2021 sport S's. But now that I have them, I wouldn't trade them for black

Had a 2010 JKUR for 5 years with the dual top group. I bought that one in May of 2010, took the hard top off for the summer and never ever put it back on. It was the standard vinyl top.
Gladiator has the premium twill fabric and a much quieter / warmer top and I live in Michigan and have no regrets buying the soft top only.

Any regrets about your soft top yet? Mostly concerned about the noise.
