I would like to do several mods to a newer model gladiator and could use some insight.
currently owning a gladiator overland since they came out. Want to trade in for a newer model and start from scratch. Mine is currently a 6 speed manual, and would like to stick to the manual. This seems to give up some features or weeds out some of the models.
wanted to put a 5-6 inch lift and 37-40 inch tires as well as several overlanding gear. also would like tow capabilities and ability to run more energy to external sources like a computer etc.
I've been reluctant to do any major mods to the current one i own because the feedback varies so much from one specialist to another. I've had quotes that say no problem we can run that lift and 40 inch tires without anything additional for 5k while another says they have to modify several other parts to fit and could run around 20k. Thats a huge difference. Some mods may differ from one model gladiator to another, but they don't seem to be familiar with the actual differences in the models.
I also didn't initially get a rubicon since it came with a stock lift and offroad tires, thinking why would i pay up for something that i was going to change anyway.
It seems that there is several nuances to consider when upgrading some of these mods.
Would really like to hear some insight on this topic, the do's and don'ts or which models need what changes etc. Does anyone else have experience with finding out some of these must need changes or not needed features during their builds?
