[@tales4adventures976]

Great list and definitely a place to start. I just completed my 1st 5 mods myself.

[@70selvisfan]

I would also add a spray-on bedliner. :)

[@extremeterrain]

Gotta keep that bed looking good and protected! Not a bad option at all. -Zach

[@purdue_pete]

Great video. Fantastic upgrades. Awesome looking Jeep!

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching, Pete! -Zach

[@wyomingadventures]

Nice mods! I love the color of the Gladiator. 💙

[@WailOfDoom]

What's the color of this Gladiator? Is it a factory color or after market?

[@wyomingadventures]

Great choice for tires and rims. Like the black rims. Much better than the factory's.

[@euromellows8]

Thank you for this video. Well presented and good justification for each of your mods.

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@Shaqeroni]

Great video and mod choices . Love my 2021 Willys Gladiator

[@extremeterrain]

The Willys is a really solid package! Glad you're happy with it and thanks for watching! -Zach

[@colemantechnologyinc9889]

Just got a 2022 love it

[@mohammadsweidan3221]

Thank you very much for being so informative… I just got my gladiator and I’m sure I will consider this.,

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@MrJeepmarine]

Nice view Sarah, thanks!

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@Centra28]

awesome vid, that Gladiator looks sick now!

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching, Dale! We appreciate it! -Zach

[@lucyferina]

I bought a Mojave today, it came with factory sprayed bed liner, and all other regular goodies, but my first mods are going to be roof liner to improve temperature handling and reduce noise, trade the rock sliders for running boards, add more orange accents to tone down the blue, a bumper mounted step for the wife to access the bed, (it is her vehicle after all). Tint for the front windows, more orange accents for the interior, the door frame guards to avoid scratches…maybe that better air filter too and a shorter antenna.

[@MikeSmith-ey7ku]

I have that cover and that leveling kit. Cover is awesome

[@extremeterrain]

Glad to hear you're happy with it, Mike! Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@nitroxide17]

Good choices!

[@extremeterrain]

We thought so too! Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@juanzuniga5976]

Nice video, i lime how its a basic upgrade video. Most out there are over the top or expensive

[@DevTheBigManUno]

This was an excellent list... and then the Mojave came into being. Still awesomefor all the other trims

[@red85ism]

My gladiator came with black wheels it’s hydro blue with a 2” mopar lift

[@wtpence4731]

looks Great !. Can hardly wait to start on mine ! How about a video on side bars/steps !??!

[@extremeterrain]

Be sure to count us in when you do!! We have a ton listed here on the channel and on our product website pages. Check them out here --> www.extremeterrain.com/jeep-gladiator-side-step-bars-running-boards-2020.html

[@RJ-rv6qe]

agree with all mods except the cold air intake for two reasons. One , in a jeep you need your air box sealed from the elements, and two, with modern fuel injected engines the air is metered by the mass airflow sensor and will not allow any more air in than the computer asks for. To prevent a too lean situation

[@nemesisc4926]

Well said. There will need to be a tune to fix that

[@catalin6819]

very informative,thanks

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@carlosreyna7496]

Built a headache rack for my jeep full length with a ford ranger tool box damn thing weighs about 220 pounds makes the jeep ride smoother running 295/70/17 an duel 50s exhaust k&n filter front an rear after market steel bumpers

[@cavalryscout]

Is there a skid plate available to match that bumper? I am looking to buy one now but would love the additional protection of adding a skid plate.

[@russellhollands8792]

Your truck is just what I want ❤

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@melibellie]

This is so cool thanks babe. And girl working on a truck that’s hot!

[@TexasTiago86]

Y’all sound real thirsty

[@outboundflight4455]

Can you please do this mod intro video for the Grand Cherokee. I'm thinking of trading in my Compass for one and wanna know the best first steps to upgrade.

[@cravertom]

nice

[@acewareaig7312]

love de awesome look. replicated all mods on mine.

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@acewareanthony9681]

Can ET provide exact formula for the body paint color scheme…

[@extremeterrain]

Hyrdo Blue Metallic! -Zach

[@JessDeeganIIPhD]

Personally, I think of my JT as an off-road capable truck and as such I dislike leveling kits. .I would replace this idea with a Sunrider or similar, which just makes the experience easier/better.

[@rcud1]

That Gladiator can handle bigger tires than 33's. And have to be wary of those cold air intakes, sometimes they can rob a little power.

[@nitroxide17]

I agree. I also had some problems with coldair intakes. I had one installed on a JL and actually I felt that the cold air intake did improve power. But the funny thing was that during hot days I felt a power loss… which is ironic for a cold air lol. Mopar themselves offer a nice cold air intake… maybe I’ll try that out.

[@billredding2000]

I think she meant "larger than 33s: since the Gladiator Rubicon's OEM tires are 33" (the excellent Falken Wildpeak A/T3W). It can take 35s with no lift, and (IIRC) 37s with a 1" lift. And, 35s will fit into the spare-tire well, also. One guy said his 37 tires did (forgot the brand/model tire), with only "slight rubbing" in one area of the "heat shield" (?) around it. I'll just be keeping the 33s myself... -- BR

[@tbbadboy401]

Just got a 2023 willys gladiator. Do you need trail rails to install this bed cover?

[@Aceinfinity-le8zc]

How is the ride after the teraflex ?

[@gs98999]

Have this bumper on my JL. I like it a lot now that it’s on. However I would never consider buying it again as it’s absolutely the most horribly designed way of mounting it up if you don’t get the version with the studs on the bumper like the factory one has.

[@hyliedoobius5114]

A major consideration for me would be to GET RID OF THE HIDEOUS TEFLON COATED PAINT JOB!! A serious Jeep deserves a serious paint job, a matte finish or crinkle coat.

[@greenscool]

What model Gladiator is this? Sport? Sport S? Awesome simple, yet much improved look!

[@extremeterrain]

This is a Sport S! -Zach

[@carljensen5730]

I am looking to buy one and the things I want include: side step, tow hitch, and bed liner.

[@extremeterrain]

Hope you find the perfect Gladiator, Carl! Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@RAM7RO_BU1LD3]

Great video and stuff, what's the tire sizes, I want this exact setup ?

[@extremeterrain]

Mammoth Steel D-Window Wheels 17x9 wrapped with 285/70R17 Falken Wildpeak ATs! You can find both on our site! -Zach

[@RAM7RO_BU1LD3]

@@extremeterrain 🙌 thank you ! Ordering very soon

[@1972mercurycougar]

First mod: Score a set of Wrangler JL half doors & uppers!!!

[@michaelsteven1090]

Awesome..Just what I needed to know.. my '20 Sport S is boring..

[@warbanzi]

Bull you do not need a alignment, Just adjust the track bar to straighten the steering wheel.

[@extremeterrain]

You could just do that - but we highly recommend an alignment after any sort of suspension modification. -Zach

[@warbanzi]

@@extremeterrain If you do not touch or replace the tie rods and bar then no adjustment needed for toe. To even mess with the castor on stock arms you need to use alignment cam bolts and a small level lift does not justify that.... 3.5 left and up does.

[@adamchamp34]

Does the cold air intake and bed cover help with MPG? A bed cover usually helps trucks with MPG. I never heard of the cold air intake you mentioned. How does it rank compared to K/N or AFE?

[@josevillanueva1991]

Did you reinstall the skid shield after installing the front bumper?

[@extremeterrain]

We did not but you are able to!

[@user-it9dc7ye9u]

👍

[@JMakTlkz4U]

Regular models can take a 35 with leveling lift

[@murdaface55]

Headlights. Factory headlights are the worst. I replaced mine as soon as I could.

[@MikeSmith-ey7ku]

Yup,had leds in my wrangler. Felt like the gladiator didn’t even have headlights on.

[@chadfoust6942]

Nice picks and well done but I think that wheel gap needs 35s.

[@acewareaig7312]

how to get exact color of jeep from ET

[@andreweverly2646]

My second favorite car

[@crosstraining1701]

If your putting larger then a 33 inch tire first thing Re gear your diffs. That’s first. Then get tires and wheels.

[@juliedalphrey]

Don't need to re-gear till 37

[@BlackShadow233]

I like the wheels but I like the black rhino armory wheels more

[@mikecampbell5856]

Don't forget the most important mod of all. Truck U showed the anti motor oil drain back kit from Baxter Performance. 30 minutes after the engine is turned off, all of the oil drains back into the crankcase. Even the filter is bone dry. Every time you start your engine it's a dry start. Check it out!

[@MikeSmith-ey7ku]

These motors go hundreds of thousands of miles usually. Looking for a Ram van with this engine and most used ones have well over 200k on em

[@wolfseinfein1461]

Y'all forgot to add your BEER RATED BADGES

[@brentt2934]

I ordered those wheels and tires with tpms from extreme terrain. They shipped the tpms separately without installing them. Now I have to take them locally to have the tpms installed and then rebalanced. Completely incompetent!

[@herms0069]

As a owner since 2019 do not get a spacer lift you will regret it if you really off road!! Although if your are just mall crawling it will be fine.

[@extremeterrain]

Spacers have a time and place, specifically on-road driving where you need something budget friendly. If you're considering doing moderate off-road in any sense, full springs are going to be a better option. -Zach

[@MrCdrant]

You're gonna drop huge money on a front bumper when approach angle isn't even an issue, but you're not going to protect the obvious weak point with the super long exposed rocker panels? Gonna have the sickest jeep at the mall

[@Lumberjack_MC]

Those rims won't support the weight of the gladiator! This wheel's load capacity is 1,521 pounds (6084 total) Gross weight is 6,250 for a Gladiator and fat chance that weight will be evenly distributed front and rear. Better to have some capacity to spare, do your research peeps.

[@TheComputerCowboy]

I'd let her wheel my Jeep...

[@cmorsley]

Great mods Thank you. Really no offence but instead of doing the presenter thing it would be much more authentic and effective if you just talked to us in your voice.

[@daboonies8603]

I'm not a fan of the design of this jeep. It looks like a kindergarten drew a truck and than jeep built it.

[@sspence65]

It's just a wrangler with a bed. better looking than the original gladiators.
