What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Volksparts]

Looks like a worthy addition, thanks for the heads up.
Are they real glass or plastic?

Glass. Yeah ever since I got my '17 JK I've always not been a fan of the lack of visibility on our mirrors. Hence why I asked them if they would ever consider making mirrors for us.

I finally got around to installing the steel bumper with the Warn winch plate, Warn 10S Evo winch and Tuffy flip plate with bar.
For you Mojave guys that are gonna do it make sure you get 8 retaining clips Mopar# 06100843-004 so you can change out the tow hooks and for you lucky guys that have winter and salt like me give a spay to the whole set up since its apart. i used a can of Fluid Film that's my go to quick shot of undercoating. And the LED fog lights are totally different from a Rubi to a Mojave, you have to use the Rubi fogs.

i added a shut off for the winch

I didnt think it was a hard install myself, but they forgot to include the large zipties in mine so ghetto rigging a hold up for the plate and winch was a pain.

Replaced the rear drive shaft with a Dana 1350 heavy duty performance shaft. It’s still a two piece using a carrier bearing and drop spacer, which is what I wanted for a perfect angle into the t-case. It’s a 1350 u joint into the rear axle however. It’s 3” OD steel instead of the stock 4” OD aluminum. So stronger and narrower for better clearances. Test drove it slowly first, then gradually past 60mph with no vibrations or noises. It was a long road to get this done, but I’m happy with the result. Granted, it’s only seen 10 miles of use.

I've been testing out these blue tint wide angled mirrors for Suma Performance. I first found out about them a couple years ago with my Civic Type R and ran them. Then convinced them to make them for my Tacoma and now finally our Jeeps. This one has the options for turn signals which I had to wire into each front signal harness and my blind spot monitor system. The owner of the company also said he will make a non tinted version, ones without the signal and I think one without the BSM triangle. They haven't been released yet though. Overall happy with them. Definitely helps to see cars in my blind spot which I feel on our tiny side view mirrors is very beneficial.

I'd be interested in these when they are released.

I would have loved to go to this route vs ordering the oem…. Gah… money issues… looks great!

You’re not kidding. Not super cheap. It was damaged cosmetically in shipping, and they then sent a second one. It was worse and I refused the second one. I negotiated 50% off if I agreed to keep the first one and repaint it myself. So it ended up being $700ish.

What 8 retaining clips? Those round clips that held the bumper bolts/tow hooks in place? Just shit can those. You don't need them. In fact letting them loose makes it easier to shake and wiggle them in place. That's only there for factory assembly.

And is that the ebay one? If so, make sure to not use the ebay tow hooks/bumper bolts. They looked sketchy quality to me and someone else confirmed they failed when using them to get unstuck and caused damage.

Also used a Warn winch mount. It's like almost it's own stubby bumper

I should do a batt disco like yours

Mounted my dial band ham/gmrs radio. Not really done but mounted main body under dash and control head witing for bulletpoint mounting and topsy fender mount for the antenna.

You have a link on where you got it at?

Finally upgraded to the Mopar 3 piece steel bumper. Swapped out the tow hooks which were a pain. Waiting on brackets and hardware for the skid plate to be installed. But overall turned out great.

Sure. Northridge 4x4. The Dana part number is 10132305. Good for stock up to a 6” lift. That part is for advanced Dana 44 axles. They have different part numbers for Dana 60’s. It includes the carrier bearing spacer, recommended for lifts over 2”. I already had the spacer, so now I have an extra.

mine shipped directly from Dana, and they do not know how to pack things. Pretty loose in a large diameter tube. After my experience, I’d want it shipped from the reseller next time to ensure it’s packed well. I was told that Dana ships pallets to Northridge, so less beat up than single tubes via UPS. Chassis paint fixed all the scratches though.
