    I have had several jeeps but I needed a truck and not spending 50k on a gladiator. So I snatched this one up. What do you guys think. 2014 Trd with 50k miles. What do you guys think.1056_V2019031906353300126.jpg 1056_V2019031906353300122.jpg

    I haven't put my hands on the truck yet. It has a BDS lift. I am assuming it's a 6" but I'll know more about it when I test drive it tomorrow morning. Dealer tried to tell me a 9" BDS. I put a deposit on it yesterday.

    Make sure you check those cv joints/angles. If it has more lift than just the drop bracket 6” you may have some stacked lift crap and the cv’s would be hurting. Just FYI.
