What is the price on this?

[@mattbrew11]

I paid $43k for my diesel sport S JT That was with LEDs, all safety tech, cold weather, preferred package and aux switches. 4” Rusty’s diesel kit with 8000 series shocks @ $1900, 39” KM3s x 5 @ $2250 method 701 17/8.5” @ $900, OX lockers + 4.56 gears @ $3100 installed. $52k and its an absolute destroyer off road and drives fantastic @ 22mpg

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

Love to hear it!

[@ryannewazada2102]

I wish you folks were in Honolulu, Hawaii, to do this. 👍 Great job on the Gladiator.

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

I'd love to visit!

[@TeensierPython]

Just bought a gladiator sport. First jeep and I’m excited to start modifying it. Not sure if I regret buying such a base model yet. Figured it would be a better starting point. But it might be too much a clean slate.

[@Jeepsterrick0131]

Congrats on the new job! Glad to see you still making videos.

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

Thanks! This is definitely a good place to be, follow along there's a lot more to come!

[@Novalightningwolf]

I like that green, my gladiator is just black

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

The Gecko does stand out for sure!

[@motoacquatico1967]

Bel colore!👍💪🥰

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

Thanks for watching!

[@garyharp3235]

So what was the final price for this budget build?

[@midwestiowashooter]

Dang Butch! Did everyone see how he just tossed up that tire? 4:20

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

Butch is a legend!

[@danhornaday7319]

why can no one ever mention the backspacing??? Wth? Also I like ridge grapplers but mine started dry rotting and cracking at 2 years. A co worker had the same issue and he bought his from a different vendor.

[@rayvann8323]

What brand is the sidestep?

[@CelticCross74]

What gearing was in the rear end on this before the bigger tires? Did you have to change them?

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

Standard gearing on this one!

[@titan_six]

It doesn’t look like they did anything but swap the wheels and tires. Could have done a Rough Country lift and 35’s for a fair price and it would have definitely looked 10x better. Just a suggestion for future builds if you’re trying to move another JT with an ugly color off the lot🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

This one got a Teraflex leveling kit and 33's on aftermarket wheels, we could have gone higher yes, however with this Gladiator we didn't want to go over the top.

[@tb8317]

Alrite Farva. Pimp my ride.

[@steel3933]

What's the specifications for these wheels? I got confused between -12 offset and +12 !

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

These are the +12, less poke so we can keep it legal!

[@steel3933]

Thanks!

[@jtfl5523]

When you love your jeep so much that you sell it lol

[@i4nic256]

Did you need to use the thinner wheel weights to run those wheels. I know on the JT Rubicon you need to run thinner wheel weights to clear the brake caliper.

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

We did not have to run any spacers on this set up, they cleared very nicely, I can see if we can verify fitment on a rubicon and get back to you!

[@i4nic256]

@@SusquehannaAutomotive Not spacers. I meant the clearance between the stick on wheel weights and the rim surface. I know on the Rubicon JT you have to use the slim wheel weights instead of standard wheel weights.

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

@@i4nic256 Ahhh okay, and no issues here with clearance, we do have lower profile weights and did not have to stack any!

[@i4nic256]

@@SusquehannaAutomotive Cool, thanks.

[@josephwood86]

Would you tell me the cost of everything you did in this build

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

This build with parts and labor was around 4-5k

[@scottChapman25]

there is nothing budget about this truck LOL

[@truckneeded2061]

SWEAT DEAL SON😎

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

Absolutely!

[@Aceinfinity-le8zc]

Won’t 33 fit without leveling ?

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

They probably would fit however there would be a lot less clearance up front, the leveling kit picks it up a tad and makes it function a lot better!

[@Jackal_Blitz]

The Sport and Overland trims have fender flares that sit lower than the Rubicons and Mojaves (that come with 33" standard). They might fit, but the leveling kit is certainly not a bad idea for some extra wiggle room.

[@Aceinfinity-le8zc]

@@Jackal_Blitz I went with a 3.5 inch lift lol!

[@scottboyd8892]

New channel? What happened to CJ Pony channel?

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

This is my new home now, make sure to follow along! I now have direct access to all of the Wranglers, Gladiators, Broncos and much more 😎😎😎 -Matt

[@overland_dadsfl]

I was going to ask but got my answer. Glad to see you around Matt.👍👍👍

[@plaquatra]

Budget friendly?

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

Yes this was a lower dollar build, as opposed to a full lift kit!

[@astorgar2026]

Do I need a lift on a 2022 high altitude gladiator if I want 24x12 wheels and 35 inch tires?

[@SusquehannaAutomotive]

Yes to run the 35" tires on that trim I would highly recommend a lift kit, at least 2 inches.

[@astorgar2026]
