Need some help with some decisions.
This vehicle will be a secondary vehicle upper midwest, almost 80% to 90% daily driver when I use it, will take it on hunting, fishing, ski, kayak, snow shoe expeditions, I'm 60 years old so this is my most probable last 4x4 and "last hoorah" vehicle wise.
After I order the Rubicon Diesel Gladiator from factory it will go to American Expeditions Vehicles for the modifications. This is the AEV place doing the modifications. https://www.aev-conversions.com/vehicles/jt-gladiator/
Diesel, it will be my first, any show-stoppers why not?
Hard top and will make a pulley system in my garage to lift it off.
Packages: The 2" lift with 35's the 2.5" lift with the 37's or the 2.5" lift with the 35's?
Transfer case: Pay the extra and get the 4:1 Rock trac?
Tires: Mud or all terrain? I was thinking mud but not sure as to why.
Wheels: I'm considering the Borah Dual-Sport, I liked the bolt pattern is all.
Gear ratio: 4:1 or the 3:73 however the AEV second package AEV JT370 2.5"adds a AEV 4.56 Axle Ratio Upgrade or get custom other from after market?
Fender / flare wise, whats a nice looking, robust after market fender flare to cover the entire width of the tire so it don't stick out past the fender? I was thinking of a flat look I have seen looks combat military -ish?
If I am missing something else please add what else I should do is appreciated.
Thanks!
