Looking great can’t wait to see the finished product plus hear your thoughts on it. I’m still saving up for my swap hopefully mid to late 2023 I’ll be dropping it off.

When you get your JT back, I would like to come look at it in person. But I'm afraid that if I see it I'll be changing my mind about what I want to do with mine. LOL

I got my gladiator back today. I am super impressed with how factory appearing the swap is. The fit and finish is perfect.

The drivability is vastly improved and has impressive acceleration from any speed.

All I can do is hope that one day I’ll have a V8 in my Jeep! That day isn’t soon enough though

Hands down one of the nicest builds I’ve seen so far on the JT platform

I think I finally got everything fixed from last outing In Oklahoma.

After mangling one of my factory fenders up pretty good I installed a set of genright fenders.






Added these S&B hood vents to see if let’s some of the heat out.





And then added some oracle tail lights and a small dent repair. Lol

I am on the fence as to what to do about repairing it. I really enjoy the functionality of having a bed but the length is problematic sometimes as I am sure you know. So I am trying to decide if I repair it or I bob the bed around 6-8 inches. Bobbing it seems like a bad idea because it would only help with about 10% of the off-roading we do.
