The Jeep Gladiator Build continues on! With a bunch of new mods and upgrades. As you can tell, the build is going in a cool direction, and I’m excited for you guys to see what I have planned!
Diamondback Bedcover: diamondbackcovers.com
Iron Rock Offroad 2” spacer lift kit: www.ironrockoffroad.com/produ...
IceCo JP40 Fridge: amzn.to/3a0BdFl
12V Switch panel: amzn.to/2R7a7Uq
Rough Country Fairlead Hook: amzn.to/35IUCY6
Molded Floor Plugs with drain: amzn.to/2NfNvQw
Kore sunglasses: www.koreessentials.com/pages/...
Molle Platform Solutions panels: www.molle-platform-solutions....
In this video, I go over all of the upgrades I’ve done over the past few weeks.
They include; A new 2” spacer lift from Iron Rock Offroad. This was an affordable and easy way to give the JT a little more lift while still keeping a good ride. It pairs with the 37” Yokohama XATs perfectly!
We also installed a new Diamondback Bed cover, fully waterproof, lockable, and we now have the ability to mount things on top! It’s going to come into play in future videos and you’ll see how!
The Iceco cooler is also a new addition, I’m excited to see how well it works as this is my first time using an electric cooler/fridge.
I have a lot of other cool things coming up, thanks for watching!

Lots of great info, thanks guys! I have a 2020 Gladiator and really appreciate seeing what you have done with yours. I love that diamond bed cover and the molle in the bed as I want to camp and overland, but also don't like everything in the back bouncing around or getting dirty and wet.

I notice that you put one of those Gladiator light blockout decals on the third brake light on the tailgate. I have seen them pop up on Ebay lately. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work. Andrew.

idea for one of the switches: take some pod lights or whatever you prefer and mount them to the bottom of the front and rear portions of the bed cover and you would have (when open) light for work space around the truck for camping to light up your campground? just an idea.

The 4x4 block at 6 minutes made me cringe. Brought back nightmares of what I used to do. I really LOVE my Pro Eagle off road floor jack. It handles my gravel yard and my uneven concrete pads that I have to work with extremely well. And the extensions lock into place so much less chance of an accident. Well worth the money. Really nice upgrades to your Gladiator.

@johnthibodeaux5189 4 жыл бұрын

I did a 2.5 inch suspension lift front that included springs and shocks for the front and 1 inch rear with only shocks for the rear, and it leveled the truck. But then when I added an off road bumper to the front it made a slight rake again in the front. Not as dramatic as factory but still there. So now when I haul my band trailer, which isn't that heavy, I have a level truck again. Didn't realize that front bumper would be so dang heavy.

I've got all my LED Auxiliary light from Amazon and they are all "low buck" lights. One thing I discovered with these "low buck" lights is the wire penetration is the leak point. If you seal these weak points with either silicone or urethane, prior to installing them on your Jeep, you are far less likely to experience moisture intrusion. Keep up the great content! God bless.

Idea to think about for the rear bed light. I took a smaller LED light off Amazon and some magnet mounts (ok all the parts from Amazon) then paired them with a stretchy (think CB type) power cord and mounted it under my hood. Nice having it on a switch to take out and move around wherever I need light, or to mount to a body panel for light when doing a trail repair or general light need.

I know nothing about 4x4ing so i hope you guys can do a video for us people that would be novices in this realm of vehicles and sport. And would educate and recommend for level entry or budget minded folks. Thanks
