**352FloRidaz – NECKBREAKER** is my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and my very first Jeep build. I was fortunate to find this JTR at the right time, and it quickly became more than just a vehicle; it became a way to enjoy the outdoors, connect with the Jeep community, and make memories with my family.
The goal for this build is to keep it trail-capable, reliable, and progressively upgrade it with stronger components as the Jeep evolves. NECKBREAKER is built around a lifted off-road Gladiator platform with large tires, Method wheels, Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires, Evo Mfg/King suspension kit, and a growing list of steering, axle, recovery, and trail-support upgrades.
The next phase of the build focuses on strengthening the steering and front axle setup, including Synergy steering components such as the tie rod, drag link, and sector shaft brace, as well as RCV front axle shafts. I want this Jeep to be dependable on the road, confident on the trail, and built smarter over time — one upgrade at a time.
Proud to be part of the Jeep life and excited to keep building NECKBREAKER into a stronger, more capable rig.
