Gladiator from JLU

[Old n ratty]

Ok, carried out the swap easy enough to do..
Took a little getting used to the extended wheelbase but very pleased on how it performed.

This shell is being kept as I bought the Knights customs VS4-10 mounts for this body and it will be on my Pro when all the bits are here...

How hard was it to figure out which parts to switch out? I want to build a Gladiator from a JLU kit but I haven't seen anyone post the actual parts list needed to switch. If I just had a full list I'd go through my local shop and have them order all of them. But I want to avoid ordering a bunch of parts and then finding out I'm missing one thing and have to wait six weeks for another part or something.

I feel the same way as Squelch


Is it easy for you to do a parts breakdown of what is required for the swap?


Looks awesome.

IIRC the parts list shows for both versions. for the chassis its: rails, extended chassis bit, links and driveshaft then the sliders and the extended rear inner arches. The body well, all the bits you'd think you'd need TBH... I just sat here for 30 mins or so looking at manuals...
