Jay’s Magic Punk’n Build (name in progress)

jayinyourway · Oct 15, 2024

Hi all! This is my 2023 Punk’n JT Gladiator Rubicon.

Started out as an awesome new 2023 Punk’n Rubicon.

Purchased it from McGee CJDR in Springfield, VT from a great, patient salesperson Zach. I did 99% of the deal over email. Delivered to my door.

Looks nice!

That is one awesome looking Gladiator. I am envious. Also, I must say you get your moneys worth out of that tape measure .

Riverdog · Oct 16, 2024

love that color. I've been waiting 4 years to see a used punk'n with a 6MT for sale near me but I haven't seen one yet. Nice truck!

Looks good. Regear in the future?

Will decide eventually. I ran 4.10 gears on my JLUR with 37’s for 6 years and never had a problem even without the AEV Procal. It doesn’t feel as peppy as it was a few days ago but it doesn't feel like a total pig. Maybe the Procal is making it feel smooth enough. I do a decent amount of highway driving so we will see if it is worth the $2700 the shop estimated for a regear.

I have a punkn gladiator on 37s too, but with angled up sliders!

Angled up makes it look taller - less likely to get stuck on rocks. Had a hard time deciding. Nice rig!
