    Sunnyside's Gladiator build begins...

    Here is another part that I have waited to install... drilling 4 holes through the factory track bar mount at odd angles... made me decide to put it off. It takes about 15 min a hole with my tools, but the end result is that the rear track bar is level with the axle and the ground now. This...

    Fishing Jeepers...Post Up Your Pics

    I think this is a Yellowstone Cutthroat... as opposed to a Westslope.... the spots being round and below the lateral line. But there are lots of hybrids... most other fish in this area creeks and lakes are brookies...

    Just an easy update... I was looking for the transfer case vent... I found it on the front side...about even with the rear driveshaft output. by reaching over from the back you will find about a 3 inch kinked hose and cap. this is the vent... so it is pretty low in the event you are in deeper...

    I love the coverage of the LOD bed sliders... but the look of them did not match my current bumper. I also wanted another step...I have one in the rear bumper... and now I have one in slider... I think the lines match my bumper better. I just continued the lines of the wedge thing they created...

    Couple of other parts added... I reinforced the pinch seam with a 3/16 length of spring steel that runs down the whole pinch seam. Since my current steps mount to the body mounts underneath and the pinch seam... I went the whole length in one piece steel... this sandwhiches the pinch seam in...

    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...

    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...

    I ran 5 trails in 3 days! lots of pics... the ride is great, lockers work great, my wife and I camped in it 3 nights... with a tarp over the back, I have plans to make a tent attachment this winter now. (Never built a tent before?) Anyway... here are a couple more pics!

    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...

    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...
