Very underrated comment. Having a supportive spouse is 🗣️MAJOR

Love the power distribution center you made...that would been an awesome how to video!

Thanks for doing things in smaller steps; it helps cover the gamut from level kit to spacer lift to 35 to 37 tires

Amazing channel really enjoy y’all doing the upgrades in the driveway for all of us who don’t own a shop

Great video guys! I am new to the Jeep scene and purchased a new to me 2020 Gladiator. The fact you guys have the JT and are modding it helps me out deciding what I want to do to my JT. Thanks again, keep em coming!!!!

I've got all my LED Auxiliary light from Amazon and they are all "low buck" lights. One thing I discovered with these "low buck" lights is the wire penetration is the leak point. If you seal these weak points with either silicone or urethane, prior to installing them on your Jeep, you are far less likely to experience moisture intrusion. Keep up the great content! God bless.

I just ordered my first Jeep yesterday. I went with a Gladiator Mojave with a manual transmission. I love all the things you did with the bed and I am going to copy many of your ideas. Your channel is informative and fun.

Love the versatility of your wiring/power solution combined with the molly racks! Huge fan of this set up

I’m really liking they are are testing out options that people can actually afford and giving honest opinions on if they would work for others or not. I love the switch system you made for the bed of your JT. I would like to do something similar in the bed of my JT. Thanks for the content. Keep rockin on!

We got the 2 inch Mopar lift and 35 inch KO2s. This setup works well for me and no regearing necessary.

Just ordered this spacer lift today because of your recommendation. I am in the same situation as you guys with the larger lift. Still trying to figure out the right one so until i do the spacer lift will suffice! Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing where you got those two-inch spacers, I have been looking for them. (Iron Rock Offroad). Channels like yours help me find ideas.

I did a 2.5 inch suspension lift front that included springs and shocks for the front and 1 inch rear with only shocks for the rear, and it leveled the truck. But then when I added an off road bumper to the front it made a slight rake again in the front. Not as dramatic as factory but still there. So now when I haul my band trailer, which isn't that heavy, I have a level truck again. Didn't realize that front bumper would be so dang heavy.

@16:28 you meant, "wary" (cautious). "Weary" means tired. Thanks for the walk-through. It's a nice rig! I'm considering a Gladiator myself. Internal storage in my GX 460 gets tight on road trips with my wife and our twin daughters (even if I could convince Mrs.-Me not to overpack). The Diamondback HD is on my modest list of mods, as it offers security, a photographic platform (Ansel Admas built a platform on the roof of his station wagon), and a way to haul stuff like hay bales even without dismounting the cover.

It’s a such a cool thing to have someone who does this type of thing and put it on KZread in VA because I also live in VA 👍 love the channel

You should definitely make a how to video on that distribution center, or even offer to make and sell them. Id buy one for my current Ram!

Hey guys, your truck is really coming along well! Spray the frame, fasteners and underbody with FluidFilm (avail on Amazon or Lowes) to prevent the rust and corrosion that is forming. I just traded in a 2012 JK and the dealership wanted to know why the underside still looked new. Fluidfilm. I use it on my jetski, my boat, my jeeps and on cast iron tool surfaces like tablesaw, mill and drill press. Good luck guys.

Great stuff. I’ve been meaning to buy some

The 4x4 block at 6 minutes made me cringe. Brought back nightmares of what I used to do. I really LOVE my Pro Eagle off road floor jack. It handles my gravel yard and my uneven concrete pads that I have to work with extremely well. And the extensions lock into place so much less chance of an accident. Well worth the money. Really nice upgrades to your Gladiator.

Gladiator is looking Great! Personally I don't like them from the factory (besides the Rubicon) but I really like them lifted with bigger tires. In the summer you'll have to do a meet and greet at Windrock Park. It's just down the road from me. Keep the videos coming.

I gust but a new 2021 gladiator jeep I'm 52 years old. I put a stereo with 💥 1,250 I want to make it bad with the mad face and send it to Puerto Rico. Thank you for your video is helping me a lot.

You guy's have been busy . Love the distribution center you made Ben , I'm looking into doing something like that for the back of my TJ since there is no power at all back there . Looking forward to more videos from you all . Until next time take care and I hope you all get well soon .

You two could open up a 4x4 shop and do very well. With all the fabrication, lift kit installs, electrical work, axle swaps, custom work and on and on. 4WP and Davis Auto Sports in Richmond probably don't do all of this stuff. Cool video, digging the Gladiator and mods.

I want to

With being in the outdoors comes bugs, especially when camping. Using the amber bed lights is the way to go. Amber doesn’t attract bugs like white does. Loving the build.

Your Gladiator is looking real good. All of your gear will be great for trail and multi day outings. Looking forward to seeing more.

Cool bed cover!😎 I don't comment much. Give one of them bed covers away. I bet ya get tons of comments. Lol. Enjoy watching,have been for a while.. I have a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon I've not installed lift yet awaiting On what Teraflex will put out this year Probably going 2.5" to keep my 37 Patagonia tires. I'm running the 3 fold mopar bed cover .not had issues with water.but like the Diamondback. So much add on and so little money. Lol. Keep up the Cool videos..😎🇺🇸🇺🇸

Also, use that slider and hinge the front so it can simply move up when slid.

Hi My Name Is Monica and that Rock Basher exhaust would sound great on my 05 TJ aka “WILBUR”. In all honesty,my husband and I love your and your wife’s videos on how to install things on the Jeep and the places you go off roading...

I just came up on your videos recently and I am 11 all the contents so far. And you are definitely fixing up the truck of my dreams the Jeep Gladiator. Do continue to keep putting out all this great

If you use JScan or a Tazer you can go into the settings and have the bed outlet on constantly with out having to have ign. On . Gotta say I agree with yas on the bed racks , I'm not real sure if I like any enough to install one . Also I am extremely surprised you didn't get the bed spray liner ! I really enjoy it !!! YET ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO ....

WOW, that’s a really nice bedcover. I like the fact that it can be accessed from both front and rear as opposed to that long stretch to reach an item in the front.

Thanks for all your advice and knowledge don't have a jeep yet but are looking at a the gladiator

Doooo it!!

As for the fridge slide, maybe shim just the side at the tailgate, create an angle so you can use less shim and still clear tailgate?

Cool video. This is only my second video I have seen of yours. First one was the issues you didn’t like about the gladiator. I would love to purchase one in the future. I know nothing about 4x4ing so i hope you guys can do a video for us people that would be novices in this realm of vehicles and sport. And would educate and recommend for level entry or budget minded folks. Thanks

This build is turning out great I love that you are keeping it practical but still looking sharp!!

Idea to think about for the rear bed light. I took a smaller LED light off Amazon and some magnet mounts (ok all the parts from Amazon) then paired them with a stretchy (think CB type) power cord and mounted it under my hood. Nice having it on a switch to take out and move around wherever I need light, or to mount to a body panel for light when doing a trail repair or general light need.

Smart they put the hinges on top of the cover so you can slide stuff in without catching

Ben and Cassie, love the videos and love how you guys moved to doing it together, also appreciate how you involve your family, great gladiator build! Keep up the great work!

Really like the direction you are going with the JT build. It is looking amazing. Keep up the great content.

love that power distribution step up. I also have to Diamondback on my JT and want to throw a fridge in the back and have one loaded up in my amazon shopping cart the "should be low enough to work on a track.

Gladiator is coming together nicely!! I’m drooling over one with a diesel! Mount a RTT on that thing!

Love the Molle Platform Solutions. That looks great in the bed and super efficient.

Just got my gladiator!!!! Same color. Love it on 37's!!!!!! Need fox shocks!!!

The Iron Rick lift is exactly what I’m looking for, thanks for the quick review of it and your install

Consider using an additional red light in your bed. You don’t lose your night vision. I like the family jeep plan. It’s been our journey for the last 15 years as well.

idea for one of the switches: take some pod lights or whatever you prefer and mount them to the bottom of the front and rear portions of the bed cover and you would have (when open) light for work space around the truck for camping to light up your campground? just an idea.

I like your DIY power box in the bed. That's pretty sweet

Use a soft shackle around your hoop for the hook. Then the RC fairlead thing doesnt get in the way of a side pull.

Amber lights are best for the bed. They will not attract bugs in the summertime when you are camping and you need a light to cook.

I didn’t even think of that!! Great point.

Your truck looks better with that lift ofcourse will look better with a 3.5 lift and I believe that Kassie will be fine with that hi and your Kids.. and ... That back cover looks amazing great choice!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just subscribed and was watching the video. Thought I’d offer a suggestion. Your amber bed lights, Have you considered a red bed light in case you have to use the light during the night, red will help you maintain your night vision where amber will mess with vision for a while. Just an observation. Great channel.

Check out Last Line of Defense. His Tacoma runs a Diamondback with a rack and Roof Top Tent. Only problem is you don’t get to open the covers but COG stays low

Glad there is a video on the diamondback! About to order mine!

Right about 16:00 makes me think they're going to build/buy a trailer. I'm looking forward to where this build goes! For lighting in the bed, why not put an led strip/amber rock lights in the tonneau cover? Then you wont have the light blocked by something sitting in front of the light

Great Build. Plan to do 3.5" lift / leveled with 37 tires on my Gladiator. I like Cassie"s hat. If Ya'll have an extra Multi-cam Rebel Off Road hat, that would be a nice give away.....

That bedcover is awesome!!! I really want to see what you guys can mount or tie down on top of it when it comes to camping or overlanding! Great video 👍🏼

Lots of great info, thanks guys! I have a 2020 Gladiator and really appreciate seeing what you have done with yours. I love that diamond bed cover and the molle in the bed as I want to camp and overland, but also don't like everything in the back bouncing around or getting dirty and wet.

You should make a video showing your current Gladiator setup and how much you put into it so far. You can add in your love/hate the changes and what you would do different.

I run the Genesis Dual battery in my JK and works awesome. Something to think about if you ever get to the point where you start needing more power for your accessories.

Really thinking about getting a fridge too. Have to check out that one you picked up. I think 800-1000 is a little crazy for a small travel fridge.

Nice upgrades. I really like the molle side panels. Easy to keep things from sliding all over the place back there.

I love the cover! I'm waiting for the the diesel engine before getting my wife the Gladiator. The mods you have done are great and right up my alley. Stop taking all the great ideas so I don't have a clone. Keep the videos coming

You guys keep saying that this video is too long, but honestly it couldn't be long enough. I love all the different transformations the gladiator has gone through. I remember when you got it.

I have this fridge. Been using it for 2 years no issues in my jl, now that I have gladiator, I'm figuring out how to power it up

Definitely found my next truck after your video ! Cheers from Toronto stay safe

Love the video and what you did in the bed . I'm going to be copying your power distro center. I'm intrested into how your going to mount the tent. This will be the first not bed rack setup, I'm intrigued. Can't wait. I may be copying a few more things soon. Thank you and we will be watching.

Off topic but I just can't stop looking at the core doors in the background. As badass as they are I think they'd look so much better paint matched.

With that bed covering you can now have a super advantage when pulling off the top by yourself!

love the new mods on the truck... go 3 inch since you got the big tires any ways, Rock Krawler 3in PRO-X Suspension System - Stage 1. great lift choice right here, but you could make your own, that would make a very interesting video series, lol

Great . Now I want to install a power distribution box in the back of my zj haha.

You guys that need setup is really killer

Croc storage rack coming in the next video

Love the top! Saw one on a Honda Ridgeline and it actually mad the car look good. You are way ahead of me for modifying my gladiator.

Nice vid. I redesigned my warn winch to all fit in the bumper. I have no bulky relay box.

I was beginning to think you wasn't going to talk about the bed cover. Nice cover and very impressed that it hold up to 1600 lbs.

Aussies will sort out accessories. Hopefully to get one when it's out here

That's awesome! I been looking for a fridge to put in the jeep but couldnt pull the trigger on $800. Keep us informed on how it does. Durability and temp control

Nice work! I am on a similar journey with my Gladiator, as well. I also have the Diamondback cover and I absolutely love it!

Love the Gladiator build, I need to start modding my Gladiator!

Love the mods and the look of that cover. I just would haul too much large crap to do that type. I never had a water issue with I had a truck before with a roll up cover before. Some day i might trade in my JK for a JL. I need to find a way to have both like you!! Maybe in a few years. Keep up the great work guys!

Love all you builds, and the fact that you're completely honest when talking about the products. I need a foot of snow to melt so I can start working on my JKU.

First thing I got 35’s was a rhino bed liner, don’t want scratches.

Need to check out the decked system for the bed.

Just a thought. When tent is on cover you won't be able to open cover to access fridge.

That’s power distribution block is pretty awesome. Nice work.

Awesome choice on the “truck coverrr” aka the Diamondback!!! And I am totally going to consider the refrigerator @400 seems more sensible!!!

Surprised to hear my name! All the upgrades for the JT look awesome, almost makes me want one.

And same it would be a very big goal to be able to afford a JT in the next few years but for now I’ll take what I got lol

Yo! Check out those Amazon strip lights people are putting on the jks back window. You can mount the light to the bed rack! I'm totally getting a gladiator so I can put a light in like that 😊

Great video. And definitely got my support being pro 2nd amendment 👍🏻

The build is coming along nicely. But, as we all know, everyone’s Jeep always changes from what they started with. Looks great!!!

Ben, loving all the mods. Definitely changing my mind about whether or not I like the JT. I like that fridge, please do a review after using it for a while. And those sunglasses are cool AF. Love the vids! Have a great one.

Looks good, Im still on the fence with the Gladiator, Might pull the trigger when they drop a 2 door version.

Nice to see someone take the time to do these videos, just bought a brand new 2020 Gladiator

Lift looks great and really like the molley racks. Great channel, keep up the good work. Great place to keep the gun hidden/locked, but available. Dont let them take them away from you.

The factory cover is in fact waterproof I have it on my JT and haven’t had any problems with leaks. Also I live in Florida where it rains every five minutes.
