While it's only been a little over a week since we got home from the JKX and we're still not even done making all the videos for it, time is ticking and we've got to get our brand new 2020 Jeep JT Gladiator built up and ready for the upcoming JL/JT Experience. Yup, you heard right, Cindy and I will be attending this awesome event in October and as of today, we've only got about 3 weeks to get our Gladiator built up and sitting on 40's. Needless to say, this thread has been started to highlight the transformation of our mythical Jeep truck into a legend. :cool:

This is where it all begins. For reference, here are a couple of photos of what our Gladiator looks like now.

Got our wheels in and as you can see, they are badass KMC Machetes.

Still debating on whether or not we'll get them powder coated a different color.

Of course, being that the JL/JT Experience is a Nitto event, we'll be ordering up some 40" Trail Grapplers.

More to come soon. :cool:
 
You’ll be sleeping less than I do! I can’t wait to see the transformation!

Can't wait to see this beast. Any idea what kind of suspension you'll be doing?

Hoping we can get coilovers installed but I think a lot of that will depend more on time than anything.
 
Excited to follow this along. Also, cool that this build is going 0-100 so quickly. Very excited to see all the content that will be coming over the next couple months too!

Awesome! Going to be a beast!
Have you named the JT yet? Curious what color of powder coat you were thinking about doing?

Actually, we haven't but more because we haven't had time to think about it. I have a feeling it'll just come when it comes. :crazyeyes:

As far as wheel colors go, not 100% sure but we'll definitely be keeping the rings silver in color. Maybe a custom bronze or something like that, just to change things up. :crazyeyes:
 
But this one goes to eleven. [emoji23][emoji23]

Talk about ripping the band aid off. The tires still have the nubbies on em. lol Can’t wait to see it.
 
Yowza!...can't wait to see it finished (at least enough for the JLX/JTX)...to quote Joe Bonamassa, "all knobs all the way to the right"...
