Well...got the driveshaft in.. Adams 1350. So skids will be next!

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...

And took a couple of the lights on at night...

Molle panel on topper now... I have 4 pouches to put on it... had it cut from alum.

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...

A few more additions to the build today once I got off from work! Rock Hard front LCA skids... And the ARB cover I might not of taken a pic of before...

Got to haul some pop to a summer camp!

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!
