    My name is Juan, I am a Gladiator. Not the Jeep kind. Many years ago I had a square body lifted chebby named Gladiator. The truck is gone, not forgotten, but the name stuck with me. I’m into fast cars, bad ass trucks, and bewbs. I recently purchased a 2020 Voodoo blue TRD Off Road Tacoma. Looking forward to some technical info and maybe a laugh or two. 23342672-D440-4D4A-B597-977B54C61994.jpg2BB284A2-E11A-456F-83E2-1410E32FABC9.jpg

    Thanks guys! I am in the process of legal action for trademark infringement with Jeep for using “Gladiator”. (Sarcasm)

    The square body is a 79 Silverado that was owned since new. It was a work truck for the family business and….well you can see what ended up happening. It had 2 1/2 ton Rockwell’s with 44’s. Unfortunately, I had really bad luck with that truck and blowing up engines. I traded it for a 67 Pro Street Chevelle.CF64EAA1-E813-4B86-8052-3B3E8683C560.jpg 3C232C07-E035-4AA4-A771-406C04A0FB39.jpg

    Welcome and nice (somewhat stock) Off-Road VooDoo Blue Tacoma...which will more-than-likely go through a transition considering your personality! lol

    Plans for the taco will be milder. It’s my daily. I drive a lot and need something that will last. Performance upgrades; CAI, tune?, slight lift with high end shocks like Fox or?
