Wayfinder_JT Sting Grey Willys Build

[runklda]

Hi everyone!
I came from a 2018 JLU Wrangler that I had alot of fun building but it was time for a new project

I got rid of my old beater truck and the JLU and picked up the Gladiator in December 2023. It was a 2021 Sting Grey Willys trim that was fairly loaded and had all the options I wanted.

Next thing I did was take the side steps off and sell them and get a set of Sliders from a neighbor and remove the rear seats to make it easier to use it for work.

My next step was to get rid of the Rake with a Teraflex Leveling Kit.

I then found a super nice deal on a set of Best top Bedside Rails. Fairly easy install.

I had the Oracle Oculus Headlights on my Wrangler and were happy overall with the quality of them so I found a set at a good price and used my Diode Dynamic SS3 fogs in the oem location.

Next it was time for new tires, I found a deal on Ebay with 20% off and picked up 4 Goodyear Territory MTs in 315/70/17 for $632 shipped.

I then found on the forums a Rubicon Take off Suspension with the FOX shocks for $100 about an hour away. Made the trip and picked them up. I gained about 3/4 of an inch and a little better ride from it.

I dont love the the Black Willys grill and preferred a body colored grill and found another member on a FB group that wanted to trade so I made the drive and swapped for the oem Sting Grey Grill.

I kept my Rugged Ridge Tube Doors from my Wrangler so I tossed them on the JT one nice day this summer.

I keep finding deals on FB marketplace and this was my next purchase, I found a Rebel Half Rack with the Bed Rails and a few accessories an hour or so away so I jumped on it!!

 

[runklda]

Again another FB Marketplace score, I had the Mopar Performance Rock Rails on my JLU and was looking for a set for the Gladiator and finally found a set that wasnt overpriced. Took my sliders off and did the install quick in her driveway in the Rain but luckily it only takes 2 mins.

Wanted to get a Tonneau cover back on it and the only one that works is the Access LiteRider. Read a little about the install process and made it work. It leaks a tiny bit during heavy rains but I mainly wanted to get it covered so I didnt have all the water in it during rains.

Took the doors off for the Weekend since no chance of rain for days!!
