Did you install the Artec truss yet?

Not yet. I will be doing it this Saturday.

Also thinking about making my own lower control arm skids while I’m putting the truss on

Artec truss installed and painted. Took longer than I expected but I’m happy with how it came out. I left the axle in the truck. Full video to follow

Did you MIG or TIG?

Did you MIG or TIG?

MIG is definitely the way to go. It made it a pretty simple job.

I'm looking forward to the video

I’m aiming to have it out by Wednesday

The Custom Offsets YouTube channel just released a Jeep Gladiator video featuring my Gladiator in it a good amount. If any one is interested it’s here. They did get a few things wrong in the video but I thought it was cool. Offsets Gladiator Video

The weather was a bit warmer today. Had to take the top down for a few hours. This was my first time taking off the back window and side panels

Not using the track bar brace any more?

Wish you were near Simi Valley, i`d pay you to weld a brace for my truck.

Yeah I’m about 3 hours away.

As for the track bar brace I will be putting it back on for an install video.

I get asked a lot about gearing so I took some time to get a video dedicated to help people figure out what to run in their rig.

Haven’t had any time to work on the truck. Been swamped at work building this 64’ x 16’ deck on top a shipping container. Hoping to get back on to the truck this week. Got some EJS prep to do

Got some work done on the bed rack. Added some kick outs and painted it. As always, full video to follow.

These serve 3 purposes.

1. They are “bed sliders” that will keep the bed away from trees or rocks. Since the JT is so long I can see where these will help.
2. They help tremendously when taking the rack on and off. Sort of like grab handles.
3. Aesthetics. I think they look cool.
