Time for my Gladiator to Evolve: My '20 Billet Silver JT Rubicon Build

[highoctane]

It’s been awhile. Was going to trade the JT in to get my soon to be ex-wife a car (in process divorce) but decided to take advantage of the hot diesel truck market and sell my ‘18 F250 Platinum. Since the JT is staying I snagged a used set of 40” Trail Grapplers with only 10k miles on KMC Grenade beadlocks. Now I get to see how long it take for the D44 axles to follow the wheel’s namesake and “Grenade”. Not too worried about it since UD60 axles are on the list. I don’t want to make the Jeep much higher so trying to stay on the Evo Mfg 2.5” HD springs. A fender flare trim may be in my future. Onto the pics. Love the way it looks.

Have a bit more tire clearance now thanks to a Quake LED fender chop kit with the smoke slim DRLs. Easy install and happy with how it turned out. Also removed the inner portion of the rear flares as well. Probably going to order some metal wheel well liners to clean the loom up a bit, maybe the Evo Mfg ones.

The stance & fender gap looks really good.

Haha, thanks. Life is definitely much improved. Glad to be single and back in a Jeep on 40s again.
