Great video, Mel made that look too easy. I'm going to guess that a set of 42's will be ordered when it's time for new tires for the Gladiator

Actually, I'm hoping to get a set as soon as they're available.

Looks perfect. I need this in my life.

LOL - me too

I feel the need! Great video and info. How were the stock breaks on stopping the 42”? Do they need an upgrade?

He has the dana UD60's

Yup, what Dale72 said ^^^

Man that looks amazing! Great video!

That looks great with the 42's on there.

Thanks! Glad you like what you see

Wow..those are huge! What gear ratio are you still running? Stock or slightly shorter? How is the torque at the wheels with the 3.6 and the Auto? 42 is going into mining truck world...

We've got 5.38's in our UD60 axles but something higher would be nice. These get the job done but just barely.

Do you think if, I mean when lol you upgrade to higher gears would it be a weak point? Just curious is with 42’s if a Dana 80 in the back may be more beneficial? May be thinking for myself way way in the future and wanted to hear your thoughts? lol
