    Sunnyside's Gladiator build begins...

    Added a cheap tent... it has no poles so you are on your own to get this to fit anything... I had a 35 year old tent that was going to the dump, so I modified three poles to create support for the tent. But we had been using a tarp...so this fits nice and weighs about 8lbs altogether. It is...

    Well I got another step done... When I bought my tires only 4 were available. Now those same tires are out of stock everywhere... so I needed a spare. I had an old rim I got cheap...but it had never been used... 5x5 and it should work for a spare. But I had to find a similar tire size wise...

    Been using the back for camping...just throwing a tarp over the back and sleeping on memory foam inside. It's worked! So much so that I'm working on a topper/truck tent option for the back... I also got all of the molle pouches in and have them secured to the rack my son made now, works great...

    Sunnyside's Gladiator build begins...

    I think the light is pretty amazing.... they reset the lights into the housing and it has a lip to match the slope of the window on the bottom... this seems to aim the lights out away from the hood. It also seems the lights on the side of the bar are aimed out to the sides a bit more than the...

    Sunnyside's Gladiator build begins...

    Putting it to the test.... first shakedown! Things discovered: 1. I have just enough fender clearance to full flex! 2. Topper doubles as a shelter when needed! 3. Arb single compressor can fill four 37 inch tires from 13psi to 34psi without overheating. 4. Ridge grapplers are good tires! 5...

    Sunnyside's Gladiator build begins...

    Got around to the skid plates... big job! Instructions are not very accurate for the Gladiator yet... different front mounts, different rear... some tabs in different positions... a nasty metal strap over the front of the tank that is not on the JL. Good news is... the parts all fit after you...

    I almost forgot I ordered these 3.5 or 4 months ago! They came in...just in time - I have some pretty hard trails coming up this week to try everything out on. These are the American Adventure lights. I kept the liners and used the harness that deletes any error codes due to the led lights...

    4.5" Enforcer Overland Plus Standard or HD?

    I would think you will be fine with a 4.5 inch lift... The 2.5 like I have- I added a couple of spacers to help keep it from rubbing when loaded. I would think the HD is more for those with a topper and tent and towing mixed together...

    Lotta Bang for less buck: Max tow package on a Sport

    I went with the max tow package when I ordered mine 2 years ago. Fast forward to this past month... I added ARB air lockers front and rear, 4:88 gearing, 35 spline rear axle shafts-made just for Max tow rear axles with ARB. I also put RCV front Axle kit in (32 spline) and I'm waiting for a part...

    Sunnyside's Gladiator build begins...

    A couple more things... Put Amsoil in transfer case ( a tradition for my jeeps!) - and the rear diff gears have been broke in now- so it has new gear lube and a new heavy duty diff cover (I got very inexpensive in November...) I just figured I would wait to put it on until gears got all...

    I also took the location of the stock breather on the rear diff.... and moved it up into the rear fender. To do this- I removed the breather and hose clamped it on to the extended line. Ran the line up into the fender and came down through the hole in the body that you can see the location of in...
