Meet Gadget – My 2008 Jeep JK

/ How was Gadget Born

Once I bought my Gladiator, I shifted my old daily driver to my off-road rig. I originally bought the JK brand new, Nov 2007. It was time. 🙂 But I didn't want to get rid of it (it had a lifetime warranty and such). Gadget is a 2008 Wrangler Unlimited X (JK)

/ Current Equipment

A 4” Rough Country lift Upgraded Shocks Dana 30 front axle with 512 gears Dana 44 rear axle with 512 gears on 37″ hummer tires. Bulletproof phone mounts Gaia GPS for trail mapping on an IPad Mini

/ Upgrade Plans

Yes, I need better axles. I'm working on upgrading my axles to 1Ton axles Dana60 front, and 14bolt rear. I'll re-gear these to 5.13 also, and add air lockers. This upgrade is going to take a BUNCH of work.. I'll post some videos and pics as I go along, so be sure to keep watch on our instagram and this blog. Instagram.com/wanderingCTO

/ For many years to come...

This Jeep has been good to me. I hope to take care of her for many years to come, and she'll keep on keeping on. And I promise to break less things.. hence the bigger axles :)
