The Build

This Gladiator Rubicon came to Underdog Motorsports in Mesa, AZ for a full off-road setup that works on the trail without giving up street manners. We fitted a 2.5" AEV lift on Bilstein 8112 coilovers and stepped up to 37s.

To keep it drivable on the bigger tires we regeared to 4.88, then finished it with AEV wheels and AMP PowerSteps for a clean, capable package.
