Meet Winston

As thought-out as it gets. I’ve been meticulous in assembling this truck.

The Front-End

Returning to a Jeep after the Bronco wasn’t a light decision, but doing so, we knew we wanted a front-end that was much more functional than what the Bronco could offer.

The AEV Bumper gives us everything we wanted from a form and function standpoint. The biggest cons are the price and the complicated assembly. But once it’s on, it’s there for good.

The Interior

I love Jeep interiors, they are the easiest to modify and customize specific to your adventure style.

With this Jeep I went all out. Full floor sound deadening. Full dash setup. Overhead storage and more.

Below is the full list of mods so you can add them to your Jeep!

  • 67 Designs Rail

    Quick & easy way to add mounts for phones, cameras, and comms.

Around The cab

Some of my favorite mods to the Jeep are around the cab.

The idea here is function first, from the snorkel to the steps, everything I added was to increase capability and access to the truck.

This is as close to perfect as it gets, it’s not overdone with a thousand products you won’t need, and it’s all integrated where everything works together.

  • Snorkel

    A Diesel Jeep Must-have. Don't think twice, you need this to save your engine.

    Buy

  • Roof Rack

    I've had two roof rack's, the Trailrax and now the Sherpa Moonlight. Both are great and earn my recommendation.

    Buy

  • Ditch Lights

    Mounted using the z-roadz brackets, these Baja Designs Squadons are perfect in this spot.

The Camper

The entire reason I opted for the Gladiator, a truck, over another Wrangler or Bronco was for the option to add a camper, and I have to say, I’m converted. There is no going back now.

The Go Fast Camper has been good to me, most of the trips I’ve done with the Gladiator have been solo trips so I have benefited from using it like a bunk and keeping standing room next to me.
