And he's got his priorities straight - plenty of STORAGE underneath, and - he's kept the CUP HOLDERS usable!

Agree, keeping them available is a good design. I notched the front each of my removable panels to allow access as well. Since my platform is much higher, this also allowed me to keep access to charging and AC.

Swapped the long Teraflex front sway bar links for some shorter Rancho grease zerk units that bring the sway bar back into proper alignment. Some definite tire rub at lock with the Teraflex

More breakdown. I pulled the fender to do a long needed wiring cleanup. It’s the second ir third round of this. I think I’m finally done adding electrical accessories. Being scared of that power steering pump, I added some heat wrap around winch power cables near it. No sign of any heat issues, but I hate that thing. I can’t wait to replace it with a mechanical pump.

Edit: Full excitement. Cabin air filter replacement. Gross.

I don't feel so bad with how mine looked now. 🤣

Installed AEV 2.5 RT Standard Spring lift and geo correction brackets and torqued it all down. . Don't believe the 5 hour hype. Takes much longer.

Picked up a set of Willys take offs. I’ve always been a fan of the Willy’s wheels and personally think they are the best looking wheels on a Gladiator (including aftermarket). I was able to find a set without tires for a few hundred bucks. Swapped out my stock tires

I look at those times as using a vehicle lift, and having exactly every tool ready, and all parts and bolts cooperating. That being said, I've swapped in lift spacers on my wife's JLU in record time, taking twice as long on my JT. JLU seem to have all bolts 18mm, whereas the JT has 18mm , 21mm, and 23mm bolts.

I would agree. I have the Launch Edition rims, very close to the Willy's, red Jeep Easter egg vs the gray. Get the black acorn lugs to complete the look.

Thanks for sharing a photo, the black lugs do make quite a difference! I will add that to the list! Great looking jeep, what size tires?
