DaBoys Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 A guy that graduated my 3A(at the time, now 4A) HS 5 years before me is the interim head coach at Texas Tech now that Wells was canned.

Which is basically all of the Rubicon stuff (Dana 44 axels, upgraded suspension/cooling/2 batteries/etc) but geared for towing/truck use instead of rock crawling. The most off road this truck will ever go is on a beach, haha Edited October 26, 2021 by Matts4313 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts4313 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Black one to the left is the Ram I traded in. White Gladiator is my new truck. The box in the back is the suspension parts they took off when they installed the lift. Its sitting ~3.5 inches higher than factory, so the tires look tiny. When I get back to Austin I will start the custom build and post a lot of pictures. Still in Tennessee, waiting on them to finish up the alignment, which had to be done because of the lift.

As you already know, there are a gazillion items that are available to customize Jeeps. Kind off funny now, I find myself every so often waiving to Jeeps when I'm actually NOT in the Jeep. 🙄🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started planning this build in my mind 2 years ago when the Bronco was announced. That was going to be my forever truck, until I rode in one and realized the back seats are to small and the availability is too scarce. So all of my build parameters got switched over the Gladiator with one adjustment. The Gladiator is ugly compared to the Bronco, but ugly in the kinda way that I love. Almost like a Bulldog. Its an ugly creature but I love it with all my heart. Ive been buying parts for it for 2 months for my self dubbed "Ugly Truck" and she is going to be epic!
