Looks good. Nice accent of color. I'm assuming you did this for the looks and not really the protection. I don't think you could hit the rim with those big, fat shoes!! I'm kinda thinking about doing this now.

After doing wheeler lake trail near Breckenridge yesterday with @Mightytalldude, washed it and hit the skids and sliders with some spray paint.

Then put the top badge in the picture on. This felt very good to do.

I built a rack for it! @arskemp made a pretty slick low cost rack out of aluminum extrusion that mounts to the t-slot rails of the Bak x4 cover, and also allows the cover to roll up, which is rare.
I followed his lead, built a cab height rack with slide outs on the side, an idea I copied from xtrusion overland.

I’m not a fan of driving around town with a tent on my truck, but this thing could for sure hold it. Stout AF.

Just order adjustable and they’ll definitely work. 1/4” is a reasonable adjustment. I fixed close to a 10 degree pinion angle with 1/4” shorter on rear lowers and 1/4” longer on rear uppers. Now it’s zero.
do you mean the difference between drive shaft and pinion angle is now 0?

Yes. They’re now lined up with each other, as was required for the 1350 rear joint on the new shaft I installed.

2022 Jeep Gladiator High Altitude
Ok, I didn‘t do all of this today, but thought I would give an update. Here’s what I‘ve done to my 2022 High Altitude since buying it a month ago:
— 2” Mopar lift kit
— 35” Nitto Ridge Grapplers tires (on stock 20” wheels)
— Replaced running boards with Rough Country nerf steps
— Installed Builtright utility rails and molle panels in bed
— Installed Softopper

I‘ve also ordered the Datin Fab rack that goes over the Softopper, but that won’t arrive for a couple of weeks.

I know that the stock High Altitude is a bit polarizing, but I like the progress I’m making on it. Would love to hear feedback on the before and after, as well as thoughts about the rack over the Softopper.
