Appreciate that brother. I’ve sunk a little money into it but I’ve also done some wheel-n-deals too. If I were to actually add up all the time and money (value, really because I’ve never paid full price for any of the upgrades and installed/built a lot of the upgrades myself) that are in the suspension and drivetrain, it’s over a $100k for what’s basically a trailer queen now. I drive it to and from work a lot but I only live 1.3 miles from my shop. It won’t do interstate speeds anymore.

Wheeling (rock crawling) and camping have become a big part of me and my wife’s vacations and time off. She green lights upgrades and spending anytime we hit an obstacle we can’t beat. (She’s extremely competitive. That’s “Baley’s Boulders”, a side trail off of “Rubicon Ridge” in Arkansas in the picture. I’ve never made it up and I credit that one obstacle for 75% of the upgrades and modifications I’ve done. That picture was taken last Thanksgiving and was the closest I’ve ever been to making it. I get the feeling I won’t make it up until I’m running at least 42” stickies but I just purchased the 39’s a year ago so another set of tires will have to wait..... maybe.

I can’t wait until she OK’s some modification spending on her Gladiator.

Not true at all.

Mostly retired men that drive them around me.
