Gladiator

[Weldin Rod]

So I’m itching to do something to the Gladiator. Thinking about these fenders but they are stupid expensive. .https://fabfours.com/product/jt-light-fender-system/ Also thinking about a little more lift. I could definitely use a little more clearance for the belly and tires. Already got some skid plates on the way.

I can't get over that price, or the fact that the flare doesnt go down to the rocker, there are tons of other companies making good looking flares for less than half that price for a set of 4.

Yeah I have looked at a bunch. These are the only ones I have found that use the factory led daytime running lights. Might just keep the factory and get some more tire clearance. Got a little worried after ripping one off at Uwharrie.

Hopefully this will solve some storage problems. This thing is built tuff.

That’s awesome!

This is my compressor upside down in this storage compartment. Thinking of mounting it in here and wiring it in permanent. Question is will it over heat in this confined space. Looking for a second opinion.

New parts going on tomorrow!!

can't tell if those holes vent or are enclosed, is the space vented?

It’s not air tight but not really vented either.

That's what I was trying to figure out. If those holes are vents it will probably be ok. If it was air tight it would eventually pull a vacuum.

Thinking about these flares. I think they will give me the litt extra tire clearance I need without having to add lift. And there not too https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/bushw...e-fender-flare-set-10928-07/_/R-BDMQ-10928-07

I like the back flares of that set but not so much the front.

On a separate topic, I just saw this. I like...

I like those better than most of the other options I have seen.

I like the lights on these better I think for the front.

I do like those. The price on the Bushwackers are hard to beat tho.

Added a bunch of belly armor since this thing likes to drag it’s belly on the rocks. It also probably added a couple hundred pounds. Also added a step on the back but that won’t last long. I thought it tucked up under the bumper more. Oh well I’ll enjoy it while it last.

 

[matth_85]

Looks nice. I agree, the step won't make it...lol

 

[97TJGUZZY]

that belly skid looks great!

 

[Weldin Rod]

What do y’all think about this lift? Those of you that are running the triangulated 4 link in the rear, how well does it drive?
