Sounds like the right trade at the right time!

The side steps that I used for the past 2.5 years were cheap... 230 bucks on a scratch and dent deal... they lasted ok, they have a few dents...but one day I was going to upgrade them. I went with Rock Hard sliders...tilted up version. Happy with the choice! My pinch seam re-enforcement...

Added some air vents and built what will become a mount for an RTT ladder on the passenger side...have to have the ladder show up to finish that project. also made a flag mount on the driver side for dunes... right in the center left of the window.

Another Item that I'm trying out. Seems solid, and really helped on road manners in high winds and gravel roads on whoops. Not sure on rock yet if it will make much difference. One side needed help to fit right, had to bend it about 1/8th of an inch for it to fit in place.

They are made by a company called Cascadia...out of Canada. They have been around a couple of years now and I've found lots of good reviews. We will put it to work on our 30 day long trip...see how it does!

Still adding things.... that were ordered a long time ago...but just now showed up!

I've been running a stage 2...plus my own added stuff for about 8 months! The quality has been great... very drivable. Does great off road.

Well... I found another bargain for 150 dollars! I got a scratch and dent ARB brawer system - at 1 tenth the asking price and free shipping... I figured I could salvage something from it! There is a reason for this purchase (as long as world war three doesn't start) -I will have 30 days off in...

My solution to having the tire and wheel become a trap for a stump or rock...

So bought a scratch and dent front skid for 27 bucks... cut it up to work with my bumper. Then I finished a skid made out of 5/8 alum plate that keeps the tire from becoming a trap for stumps and rocks to get caught up in the center of it. Also helps it slide on snow!

Nope... it is the Beartooths, west rosebud river/ Emerald lake- south central Montana.

I made a topper... and it works great. Cost was about 650 with all the stuff I put in it too. For a fridge... I just made a block -cut it to fit and use a mounting plate and a strap.

South of town 50 miles... but didn't take a pic with the gladiator in it that I can find....

They have same width housings, and same gearing as a rubicon... but different carrier and different axle shafts.

be sure to check the pitman arm bolt.... I had the new steering box put in and it was awesome... then a couple months later the steering starting wandering terrible. checking around the large nut on the pitman arm was finer tight allowing the track bar to flex! I put blue locktight on it and...

There is a cool modification that is available on the Max Tow rear end if you upgrade. You can get 35 spline cromo shafts with an ARB in the axle! I went to 37's and re-geared and had the stuff all replaced. The carrier and rear axle are different than a rubicon in the max tow- oddly enough the...

I have a 37 under mine... it is a tight fit. I recently bought a 1/4 inch think 17 inch alum. disk... I'm building a skid for the inside of the rim... I will post pics when the parts come in... I had the unfortunate experience of having a large rock slide perfectly inside the hole while coming...

Last thing was a GMRS... I bought my license and a matching handheld unit. I had to change the location of the CB but they both fit fine and are out of the way... and my mag mount still easily has space for the pew pew... The family is switching to these radios...our club is still using CB's...

Then one of the artistic daughters bought trim pieces to dress up the inside. The gear shift one didn't stick well and is gone already... the others are holding on fine... I had painted the vents on my old JK... so this was just her way of giving the gladiator the same vibe.

Christmas gifts from wife & kids (all adults now). These were not expected... but they are here and so I used them and moved things around to have them work with everything else. The fridge I had to make solid and easily removable. So.. I used a piece of treated teakwood to use 4 braces to the...
