Added the terraflex 1" spacer upfront. Haven't decided on tire size yet, may end up with the other 1/2" in front and daystar 3/4" in back if I end up going with 285/75 18. After pic is first

A little DIY project to keep cargo (groceries) from sliding around too much. I used an adjustable/ratcheting cargo bar, but it kept coming off when stuff would slide. Instead of using traditional 2x4, I thought I would try something different. I made wooden I-beams (with help of gorilla glue and wood screws) to make them lighter (not that 2x4's are heavy), but I-beams provide a great balance of stiffness and strength while keeping weight down. The shape makes it easier to grip. I then sprayed it with bedliner. It's cheaper to use plain 2x4, but then, the Gladiator isn't just a truck - it's a lifestyle...

Got a set of Rubicon take off tires with under 500 miles on them to put on a set of the basic sport black rims.

Very nice. Curious on how much do these actually stick out? Any rubbing with these? I see that offsets are +25 which is same as +31 on a 9 wide wheel (I think I did the math correctly). Are these 35s or 37s?

Looks great. Almost like it came from the factory. Can you feel the difference, or is it too early?
Only made it to the mailbox and back so far. I doubt it will do much, HP wise, but I do like how it looks. For anyone looking to add these, I would highly recommend buying 1” or 1.25” M4 screws to help fixate the passenger side vent during install. The wing nuts they send are too big and don’t work.

Took off Teraflex 1.5" level kit and installed RC 2.5" level kit. Kept Daystar 3/4" rear spacer. Reason? After adding a winch and bumper the front end dropped almost an inch.

Installed some LED headlights, from this thread:
gladiator LED install

So far, so great! Routed the DRL wire to my existing power box, soon to be upgraded.
