Its time to get the 2020 Jeep Gladiator ready for some offroad action!!!
So far, i have installed a 1.5" teraflex leveling kit, falcon monotube shocks, and some 37" Yokohama XATs on Vision Manx wheels. Its time to hit the trails and see how this setup works on the Gladiator offroad.
But before we do that, i wanted to add a front bumper and a winch.
Recovery gear, and a strong front bumper is an extremely important upgrade if you plan on offroading.
Once again, i chose the 7SlotCustoms Prittchet canyon front bumper for this build. I think it really ties the look of the front end together, plus they shed alot of weight from the bumper while still keeping it strong! And like always, you can get 10% off using the code Jkgear. If you use the link below, the discount might automatically be applied at checkout.
Bumper: www.7slotcustoms.com/collecti...
Mopar Steel Bumper Winch plate: www.7slotcustoms.com/collecti...
Choosing a winch is very important. Ive always been a huge fan of Warn winches, and have been let down by others in the past. I was going to get the Warn Zeon, but decided to try out the VR Evo series. This will allow me to test it out and give long term feedback for you guys that want the quality of a Warn winch, while looking for something in the mid budget range. I will be testing this winch out more in depth in future videos:
Warn VR Evo 12-S amzn.to/359LThE
Epic Hook: amzn.to/2CX411Y
With this setup, i can confidently hit the trails knowing that if i get stuck, i have the means to recover myself. Im also a big fan of how this setup looks on the Jeep Gladiator, honestly it just looks great.
I hope you enjoyed this Bumper and Winch install video, and if you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask!

Hello: I really believe my Wrangler Unlimited in the Crawl mode would come up that bank without the winch. I found it would crawl by accident. You can even give full throttle and the Engine sounds like it's missing to keep from spinning tires. It's craziest thing I ever seen...That Silver Bumper would look great on my Silver Unlimited. I went with Smittybilt, I wanted Powder Coat !!! I am in S.W. Va.

When you put a Zeon in this bumper you have to grow another arm and 2 other people. You have to put the bumper on half way, drop in the winch, then wiggle everything and learn new curse words getting it together. The VR is the better fitting option.

Based on your winch demo, seems the rubi didn’t rub at all with the 37s and only the spacer lift. Seems promising for when you hit the trails. I’m thinking that your set up will be pretty good for me but may add the 3/4” daystar rear spacers.
