    Sunnyside's Gladiator build begins...

    So, while waiting for parts... I picked up a free crushed camper shell... I modified it, repaired it, and turned it into a Topper for the gladiator. I thought I was going to come in under 500 dollars... as it sits I'm about 600 into it! But its 85% done!

    Sunnyside's Gladiator build begins...

    I sold the 2007 JK that I built over 12 years. I bought it for 17,000 used with 8500 miles on it and sold it for 17,500 with 172,000 miles on it. I had about 11 grand into extras on it... but I bought many parts used, and built and modified parts to make it all work. It was still running great...

    Which EVO lift?

    I am still waiting on rims and tires.... 5 weeks now. I'm not putting the lift on until they come, because it will kill me to drive around on the small tires with that much lift! I'm a little jealous... it really turned out nice. As far as the lift goes... drop brackets really make for a...

    Which EVO lift?

    I can't give you a review yet... but I bought the 2.5 overlander kit and and added fox shocks (for 3.5 inch lift). Then I added aftermarket track bars. I have not installed it yet... but the cost for everything was around 1400... I also have the daystar 3/4 inch spacer. The EVO lift sounds like...

    Unique Things About The Jeep Gladiator

    I like that it is still new enough...even almost two years old... that people still say "I didn't know Jeep started making trucks again". The thing is unique in itself. Top off always gets lots of looks!

    What lift to keep it simple?

    An option that is cheap.... is spacer lifts. Several of them out there. If he has a sport and does no trimming he will need something to run 35's without rubbing. 33's will fit without much on a sport....but will rub when flexed without a small spacer. 1.5 inch front, 3/4 inch rear... clears...
