Well.... getting over covid is about done. So I will start on some parts this weekend again! I wanted to move the air inlet for my ARB up where it is less likely to ingest water... and also put it in a location where it will normally be bringing in air from a cooler source. So I just added a...

I got the rear axle set up with the 488's 35 spline and ARB! The front is proving to take me on a detour..... I bought the RCV kit for a Max Tow front with the EAD retained. The tech ended up spending 4 hours on the phone with them...because sadly the center shaft is about 3/16 inch too long...

I'm using an element one...

Here is a pic in a clean jeep of the ARB switches. All electronics are now wired and all switches mounted in jeep! The gears, axles, truss, and lockers are being put in this week!

So if you have not guessed... I like some old school looks...even in a modern JT truck. When I bought the air lockers and compressor... and the redarch brake controller... I had a plan to take the dash apart and make the switches look like they fit. I didn't have to buy anything... I just had to...

This was my plan for Air lockers.... I bought Eddie's compressor mount, built my own heat shield... to keep the cats from heating it up ( I tested the temps today - I took it on a 50 mile drive down interstate in 90 degree weather and It was warm, but I could lay my hand on any part and no...

Also honey combed the back window, put some trim on the bottom lines of the board I cut, and made a Montana mural on the white piece I had to swap in....

More parts installed.... I also took it on a shakedown run... fully inflated tires to see what would rattle...etc... In the pics you will see the Rancho track bar brace, the new Mopar Steering box, and a yeti track bar in the front. I'm using a teraflex swaybar disconnect... tight and quiet so...

Started putting more goodies on...

And... Tires showed up! So Lift kit will go on next.... maybe after Church?

So, while waiting for parts... I picked up a free crushed camper shell... I modified it, repaired it, and turned it into a Topper for the gladiator. I thought I was going to come in under 500 dollars... as it sits I'm about 600 into it! But its 85% done!

Gave up on tires from Yokohama.... just got told it might be another 6 weeks... ( I ordered in April) went with Nitto ridge grapplers... I have to say they were down my list a couple of places... but they were in stock. I just have never had a nitto tire before... and to be honest most of my...

yes...( but they are one piece...skid and bracket are welded) they mount up to the same three holes the rubicon rear skids mount to... very heavy duty!

I sold the 2007 JK that I built over 12 years. I bought it for 17,000 used with 8500 miles on it and sold it for 17,500 with 172,000 miles on it. I had about 11 grand into extras on it... but I bought many parts used, and built and modified parts to make it all work. It was still running great...

I am still waiting on rims and tires.... 5 weeks now. I'm not putting the lift on until they come, because it will kill me to drive around on the small tires with that much lift! I'm a little jealous... it really turned out nice. As far as the lift goes... drop brackets really make for a...

I can't give you a review yet... but I bought the 2.5 overlander kit and and added fox shocks (for 3.5 inch lift). Then I added aftermarket track bars. I have not installed it yet... but the cost for everything was around 1400... I also have the daystar 3/4 inch spacer. The EVO lift sounds like...

Got it today! Very cool!

Welcome from Laurel, MT!

I like that it is still new enough...even almost two years old... that people still say "I didn't know Jeep started making trucks again". The thing is unique in itself. Top off always gets lots of looks!
