Haven’t taken any pictures yet really since I like to use a good camera but quick snap on the iPhone tonight.

Going under the knife this upcoming week for ACE rock sliders and 2” AEV spacers to give the 38’s some breathing room.

The Warn Jackhammer wheels look incredibly good in person in gunmetal, already getting a ton of compliments on them.

6 days off the lot.

Those wheels look incredibly good. It will look even better when the lift goes on.

Thank you, they turned out better than expected honestly.

That’s the next step, those 2” should make a world of difference.

Hothead Headliners with sound assassin completed tonight, tedious but should be worth it.

Excuse the messy garage, it needs a good sweeping.

I'm going to start posting better quality photos from here.

Backtracking here to day 1 which was only 1 week ago.

I went with XPEL XR which blocks 88% of the heat and UV: 5% tint on the back window and rear sides, 25% on the front windows and 75% on the windshield.

This is the highest level tint I've ever had on my front windows, have always had 5% all around and will probably end up going darker on the front.

At night you can't really see in the fronts but the day time it's fairly easy to see inside if there is good outside light.

1 week after delivery and finally took the roof and panels off (to install hothead headliner) and I don’t want to put any of it back on haha.

Highlights for these images:
38” Milestar Patagonia MT (38x13.5x17)
Warn Jackhammer Wheels in Gunmetal (17x8.5 and 0 offset)
Diamondback SE
ACE Rock Rails

Absolutely loving this thing.

AEV 2" spacer going on next to give the 38's some breathing room.

*The 38's do not rub on stock Mojave suspension on the street.

Forgive me I’m late to the Jeep life, I should have joined sooner.

Also, it was bright as hell outside so excuse a few of the pic being blown out towards the end with exposure.

Thank you! It was bright outside which made it more challenging with a fast aperture lens, so the density filter had to come out which adds more difficulty.

You will love the wheels, they turned out way better than in pictures imo.

Are your tires by 12.5 or 13.5? I was looking past posts but couldn't find it. I went with a 37x12.5.

The 38s are 13.5, the 37s are 12.5

Probably the best $14 modification (2 cans of Plastidip) for the Gladiator.

Granted after this wears out I’ve made the decision to just have it professionally Linex’d for $75 and be done with it for the long run.

Really interested in what you did for the Plastidip, Can you link to the product? How long do you think it will last?
