Man... I forgot about this thread.. this is my compact truck... 2020 Gladiator on a 2.5" long travel lift and 37" Mickey Thompsons.

I have a Ram 1500 Rebel that is pretty nice, even though it's stock. I'll grab a few of that one, too.

Just saw one of those in Kittery, Maine yesterday. Bathed in black and a covered bed like that one. My wife wants one!

Very nice, bro! Love those Gladiators. That solid front sure shinned there.

Do you have any protection for you sides? Looks like you might, but might wanna consider something a bit more aggressive to protect your rocker panels...

Looks like you are on 35s?

They are great trucks. I was very surprised with the level of comfort, and stock performance offroad was great. I wheeled it stock for more than a year and towed an RV and a garden trailer. Drove like a champ.

I do have some rock sliders. While we were out there this past weekend, I had a very near door strike. I was only saved by about 1/4" of slider. a more aggressive wrap-around is now on the list! LOL

The lift and tires are a MeatlCloak 2.5" long travel kit with Mickey Thompson Classic 3 wheels and ATZ 37" tires. Seems like a good combo, but I think next year I'm going to put some Yukon axles in it, bump to a 3.5" and put 40" tires under it. I have really bad arthritis in my knees and hips, so a step stool may be added too. LOL

40"s on a Gladiator? Hope you never need to pass someone. You will need a mile to get up to speed! :p

I am putting 5.13:1 gears in it next month. It will be really aggressive with the 37" tires, but it will be equal to the stock ratio when the 40's go on it. Not that it doesn't need a monster running start, stock. LOL
