    Stamping the axle with info and marker that’s awesome pride in work and standing by what you do hats off to Adam

    Jelly Bean stole the show again. The Gladiator build is turning out better and better each time you have the build stages. Northridge 4x4 has a really nice and clean shop. I like their store area in the beginning of the video, felt like a kid in a candy/ toy store. I agree with another comment, that you can tell that Adam displaces his pride in the work he does. Nice outtakes and Be Safe!

    On my JL I put the arb under the passenger seat. And it's great because it is cooled by the floor air vent Ac as I'm using it. The best thing is that arb makes the bracket under the seat and it some what muffles the sound.

      @@LiteBrite I would argue that ox are as strong as arb. Arb can have a problem with the seal failing like happen with Nate making his locker useless. Same thing if theres a major failure with the air system. Ox cases are as strong as arb and use a shifter fork much like in a manual transmissio. Because the fork is part of the diff cover if there is a problem with the seals it's easier to pull a d fix. Also if there is a failure with the air system ox has a kit called drive away locked where you pull the airline in and install this kit and have a locked front end again until you get back to the roadand unlock it. Plus they are made in Florida. You might consider visiting thwm.next time your down there maybe?

    Hey guys!
    Just watched Nates video with you guys & Muddy Beards on the rock pile, and the boat ramp.
    (the driveshaft episode😖)
    Brittany is using what looks like a gimbel for a smart phone, and a mic with a fuzzy cover.
    Could you share a little info on that setup?
    Thanks much, and thanks for all you guys do on your channel.

      No gimble, just a phone holder from amazon and a Rode mic
