We got this little beast last fall, second hand because no new inventory was available. It has almost every available option. So far the only issue that we've had is a dead auxiliary battery, which was replaced under warranty.

This Jeep is used for mountain biking, camping, and product testing/development, so it's seen many transitions.

The first thing we did was slap 35" Nitto Terra Grapplers on it.

The rake from the factory was kind of annoying, so we did a 1.5" Teraflex leveling kit, and also 2" spacers for a better stance.

We lasted all winter with that configuration, but as we all know, it's never enough. This spring we did a 3.5" JKS lift, with 37" Mickey Thompson Baja AT's, and Black Rhino wheels, also a Fox steering stabilizer.

Beautiful rig! I noticed your plate, New York, what part? I moved out to Arizona 18 years ago. Love it out here. I do miss the food though. Good luck buddy!
 
Playing around with different configuration on our JT.

We added our Top Mount Accessory Panel and Molle Panels.

We also mounted our Sliding Cargo Tray and an 8 gallon WaterPort to the lower bars of the rack.

I recently purchased a 2023 Gladiator Rubicon and one of the first things I did was replaced the factory battery system with the Genesis Dual Battery System so I would not have that particular issue. I have heard that complained about more than anything else with the Gladiators.

I've already had the auxiliary battery replaced.
