Glad you're back for another great episode of the Truck Show podcast. I've been keeping busy capturing a lot of great content.

And today's interview is awesome, entertaining, and with Joe Gattis from Soflow Customs out of South Florida, I interviewed him at the end of last year, and it's just been so busy. It's sort of been in the bank, so I'm glad to finally be able to get to this.

These guys are known for the distinctive line of apocalypse trucks and the Discovery TV show Truck Dynasty. And we'll get to Joe in a minute, but I just want to give you some vehicle updates and share some. We'll get to Joe in a minute, but I just wanted to give you an update on some of the vehicle stuff I've been playing with lately. And over the past couple of weeks, I've been busy with both the jeeps in my driveway. So I've got the gladiator that I have on loan from Jeep and Mopar, and that thing just continues to impress me. Gladiators always looked a little bit under-tired on 33's because they're kind of long and a little bit low. But this one on a Mopar two-inch lift, 35s, and Bill Steins is just perfect. Now, I'll be honest. I love a gladiator on 37s. I think they look perfect on 37s. But for a daily driver, for some, it might be a little bit much. And once you get past 37s, anything bigger, it's a bigger lift. It's axles. It's re's regear you can get away with 35s and not regearing

and it totally drives fine and i'm you know getting respectable fuel economy on it but i feel like

the two inch lift in 35s it's just the perfect daily driver package and of course the bill

steins just rides great so it's not too big for getting in and out of in fact my eight- eight-year-old daughter loves climbing in. It's like a jungle gym. Oh, dad, don't, don't help me get in the gladiator, right? And it's not too unwieldy for around town. And it still gives you just enough extra capability and clearance to tackle most of the trails that you might want to take your daily driver on. So it's fantastic. I'm really enjoying it. And the gladiator is definitely at the top of my list for what I might hit next. And I think it kind of checks all the boxes for me personally. So I've been doing some odds on it, including the flated to tapper, which we talked about. And if you want to get some flated product, head over to truckshow podcast.com. Under the featured products tab, we've got discount code. I just love the to topper. It gives the truck a distinct and unique look. People are always asking me about it. And when they come up and they pound on it and realize it's inflatable, they're like, well, tell me more. This is so cool. We just had a recent huge rainstorm here in SoCal, and there wasn't a drop of water in the bed,

so totally lived up to the promise of keeping your bed dry. I also love that there's tinted

windows on it, so I can put stuff in the back, and people can't really see what's in there.

So it just adds a little bit of a layer of security. And it's so far just been working out

great. And the thing I love about the flated product is if i need

full use of the bed it's four straps to remove it weighs like 40 pounds i deflate it and it folds up

in the size of a large backpack right no worries about where to store it like on the side of the house

leaned up or in the garage space so your wife can't park there it just works great i just a story on it in OVR. It'll be in the next issue if you want to know more. And then also going to be putting a mopar exhaust on it to give the exhaust note some more characters. I'll be sharing with you guys the results of that in an upcoming episode. And we have some other Mopar products and affiliate products that are coming my way. so we'll get those installed and talk about those

down the line. But I also want to talk about my 392 Wrangler because I've had a couple of wins

on that one. And so after getting the Borla exhaust installed, it motivated me to get the sound

deadening done. And I had done that on my 23, 392, but as I said before, the 24 plus Wranglers has additional sound deadening over what my 23 had.

And I recently found my old notes from when I did the full sound skins on the doors, floors, and the hothead head headliners on the roof, and where the old 392 was stock, at least some of my

numbers, and I got out my decibel meter and engaged in a little science. So I was so interested in

the results. I put everything in a color-coded spreadsheet. So I had stock, and I think I did

60, 65, 70-75 were my speeds, right? So I did that. So I eventually got from stock to sound deadening

with the Borla. And I'm super interested to share that with you. Now, I will say I didn't use as

much sound deadening. I didn't do the full floor under the front two rows of seats. Did that on the
