FLEX TESTING Our Gladiator

I would be interested in something with shock hoops (if necessary) that come thru the bed instead of the Evolever setup...

Well I spent my SEMA money in the tool booths, so if you’re willing...🤪

I’m not really at liberty to say what’s coming, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. The shape of the frame gets weird under the bed so it really limits what can be done. They gas tank is also in the way, again. Not a big deal and can be remedied by moving some brackets around on the axle side.

I’ve got a list going...I only want to do this once...this is why I’m so thankful for guys (and gals) like Eddie & Cindy to go through the hoops first to test on the trail prototype aftermarket products...

Thanks! As soon as we get our JT back from the body shop, we'll be sure to get it out and play more :yup:

Woah that would be interesting (and exciting) to see.

Well, I know that Mel really wants it and Cindy and I are bugging him about it so I know it'll happen sooner than later, even if it's without the help of his engineer :crazyeyes:

LOL - well, if you guys ever make it out this way, let me know. So long as we're home, we'd love to meet you :)

LOL - in other words, we're the guinea pigs :crazyeyes:

Fortunately, there are few people that I know personally that have as much experience with building race rigs and rock crawlers than Mel. He is the reason why we've been running EVO products for the last 10+ years.

Not anytime soon. Lol busy the next couple weeks, then the New Years run and I need to get the two door fixed first. It’ll be a good February project.

LOL - good, I'm crazy busy too. Speaking of which, do you have a need for ball joints your 2-door?

Far more than guinea pigs...you guys go through a progression of installs that I fully can appreciate. I've done things that that sounded good at the time, only to realize after wheeling it on the trail that I wish I had done it differently...fortunately for me and many others, you are willing to invest the time and expense to allow myself and others like myself to learn what works, and what can be improved upon...

I don’t right now. Have some I installed like a year ago. Not many miles since.

Got some synergy’s to test out?

LOL - well, it hasn't been the most cost effective route but we sure have learned a lot over the years doing it this way. Glad that we could share some of it with guys like you :)
