What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[TheSolarWizard]

not one ounce of fabrication to make these go together. (Other than predesigned chopping) . Simply incredible parts.


Tires probably wont be in till Thursday/friday.

Buckeyes look ~ 95% ready to play anybody but the Jeep is the star of my september

For those curious this is one of the first 10 SAVVY rear bumpers made and the first set of Next Venture JT fenders.

I’m sure it has! Are you planning on a tow hitch with that setup? I rarely tow but I do have a small bass boat and occasionally use my neighbor’s trailer for dump runs.

Its designed for a JL style hitch so you can run one but I wont be. Easier to see it in this.

Im tight with the owners if you decide you want one

I have a brand new Westin sitting on the garage floor. It came with holes for parking sensors but I don’t have those, so I welded up the holes, just gotta grind em smooth and have it powder coated. I can’t wait to see the end result on yours though. Maybe in the future, we’ll see.

Well so far the dealer states...... they're replacing the passenger side cat, both O2 sensors and right rear axle seal.

Still waiting the valve cover gasket, low coolant and low PS diag

just the noise alone was worth it.

I'm not really an "overlander", but I needed some overnight capability for some longer trails I want to do (like Rimrocker, etc.). So I decided on a bed style tent, some fridge capability, and some battery power to make life better out on the trail. We ended up with the Jeep branded tent due to some extra features I liked, the Airbedz mattress (expensive, but seems worth it), a small fridge from Iceco which I think (hope) will be large enough for a few days, and a Bluetti AC200L, which in retrospect is probably way overkill. All in all, I'm happy and we're looking forward to getting out and using it! Overnight trails here we come!!

I used to run a bed tent with the airbedz. What ultimately made me give it up was unloading the bed every night. Also the tailgate part of the mattress split twice before I quit using it.

if you travel light and dont need the back open for pups its a fun setup for a night or two though!

Ive taken that bluetti apart and its better made then most of them

Nice. I get it on the "unloading" but the wife really doesn't want to tent on "the ground", and neither of us really want a rooftop tent setup right now. I'm still hauling motorcycles, etc. in the truck often. So no dedicated / semi-permanent overloading setup is really possible for us right now. We'll see how it works out. Thanks for the info on the Bluetti.

Little trail damage earning badges at Stony Lonesome OHV. Switchback left its mark but knocked it out like a champ with having no lockers nor did I pull cable once

Rock rash, side steps smashed, rear bumper damage, real passenger taillight. Taillight caused a little flex to the rear quarter panel connecting it.

That one single switchback was quite tough. I had to go right, and back up the next section. Huge y turn. I couldn’t make the left turn on that corner without lifting a tire to the point of rollover risk.

Well, apparently I hate money but...

The arms and correction brackets did the trick!

A huge thank you to @Metalcloak for making a top-notch product and also to Rock Your 4x4 out of Knoxville who came out to the GSMJI. Without their input, I'd still be worried about what all was needed to make the best improvements.

The mud also got picked up at the GSMJI on the Mountain Mile by the wife who got to experience driving her first trail. Went from the Show & Shine straight to the mud & dust. Absolutely as proud as I can be of her!

@Metalcloak is the bomb
