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

[SoonerDPT]

35”x10.50”x17” Kenda Klevers, Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit and Daystar 3/4” rear spacers on.
Got her almost dead level and impressed with these Kenda’s so far.Very quiet and smooth riding and at 10.50” wide stay tucked inside the fenders without pelting the sides with road grime and rocks.

Looks great! Is that this kit from Daystar? Their description is confusing, sounds like 3/4" on front and back, but also says levels. I emailed them, but haven't received a response. @Daystar ?

I think he used the 1.5" Teraflex spacers in the front and the 3/4" Daystar spacers in the rear.

Have the Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit up front and Daystar 3/4” spacers for the rear only. When I have weight in the bed it sort of maintains the level front to rear if that makes sense.

CN you post some pictures of your rig with the top closed? I've been trying to decide if I want that flip top, but I can't decide if I can deal with the red hardtop with black front.

Here you go. Sorry not the best shots. Debated whether to go black or paint match on the hardtop and my dealer was willing to swap.
At the time was thinking about getting the Mopar soft top for summer but I just can’t get over the look of it fully open.

Sweeeeet...can't wait to get those done!

With the truck leveled out, any thoughts on how quickly you'd get into a "squat"? I plan on having my rooftop tent (140lbs), a couple bikes on the hitch, and a cooler/water tank/camping gear in the back on certain trips and was a little worried that leveling it out too much might get me into squat mode too easily.

I might consider doing only the 1" for the teraflex in the front just to be safe

That’s why I went with the Daystar rear spacers to maintain level when the bed is under load.

ARE cap and bedrug installed. Love them both so far, exactly what I was looking for!

Testing using a cargo tray to take the trash out since they won't fit in the bed now.

That cap looks great!
What model is it? I can't seem to figure it out from their website. Thank you

Thanks! CX Classic is the only one they currently have for us. https://www.4are.com/mobile/product/cx_gallery.php

If ya don’t mind me asking, what’s the ballpark cost on one of these? I can’t find it on their site.

I configured it with just about everything under the sun and it came out to $1750.

Installed the Fab Four Overland rack on my Overland. This thing is BUILT!

I think I’ve said this before, but I really really like the paint and decals you’ve got goin on. There’s something “vintage” or “70’s” about it. Like maybe Daisy Duke should be in the pic. Or even 2005 Jessica Simpson.

Wow! That almost half of what I thought you’d say! Time to start shopping!

Thanks. I think...should I be wearing short shorts? Haha. Let's hope not.
Exactly what I was going for, though. The truck, not the shorts

That looks better than I would've thought. I think i can do it. Is it crazy loud at 70mph?

Yeah, the soft tops and that man bun look...no thanks. I gave up on soft tops years ago. Too much noise and I do t like the look with four doors. The jt might have been an option if it wasn't so goofy looking.

 

[Jdyowa]

Interesting - how long have you had this installed and how has it held up? I don't know much about the air lift stuff, would this result in any limitations when going offroad at all?

Also, cool video, thanks for documenting all that! Annnd awesome Jeep!

Hey, thank you!
It's only been on a month and I haven't really been offroad with it, but it was only $90 and there weren't any good options that would take out the 1/4 inch sag that was left after swapping coils. I dont forsee any issues because with 5lbs or so of air, they don't move around.
Racecar guys have used them for decades to keep the rear end from squatting when taking off.

The Sunrider is surprisingly quiet even at 70mph. Only slightly more noisy than the full hardtop with Freedom Panels.
Had soft tops on my last 2 JK’s and much noisier than the Sunrider on the JT for sure. I would love an after market version of the soft top less the man bun though.
