RCC's Gladiator Build

[Dale72]

I think I am finally done, for now anyway.

Got my jack, rotopax, maxtrax boards, and radio finished up today.

Looks good. I'll be getting the lift installed on mine the end of January

My trip to Big Bend showed me a few problem areas so I spent the afternoon removing the fender trim and doing the ”Eddie Mod” to the bed. Will get the exhaust on tomorrow.

Got the small issues I was having with rubbing fixed today. Thanks Eddie for all of the great videos.

Got the fenders reinstalled, exhaust installed, the oil pan and trans lines make me nervous so I install a front skid plate then tested it for rubbing issues.

I also had to redo the rear diff cover. The factory seal decided to start leaking.

Looks great. That more skid looks legit. You have the 3.6?

Yessir.

 

[WJCO]

Yessir.

I will likely get that one. I checked their site and it comes in blue, so that makes my decision easier.

Its very stout. Very easy install.

So soon??

 

[Bullwinckle]

Looks great! I’m liking that oil and transmission skid. Going to have to look into that.

 

[Dale72]

So soon??

I'm having someone install it for me. I don't have a level place to do it myself. And that's the first opening they had

 

[AZVAJKU]

Your Gladiator is looking awesom!

 

[wayoflife]

Yep. 6.4

LOL - looks like you're gonna beat me. Granted, I'm wanting to do a 6.2L LT

I can’t wait to see how yours turns out. I weighed my options local to me and the Hemi swap makes more sense for my application.
