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

[RudeJeepin]

Added some Husky Long John mud flaps, figured for 40ish bucks I'd give them a try.

Trimmed them up a bit and drilled holes to match the rivets in the fenders. Left and right sides are mirror images of each other. A heat gun helps to mold/contour them a little bit. At some point I might pull them off and trim a bit more on the backside. Pretty happy with them so far, we'll see how they do at keeping the sloppy snow off the sides.

Is there a chance you could provide a simple wire diagram for this. I will just be using the selenoid, which I will wire dirctly to an aux button. I am not real sharp when it comes to electrical. Thanks.

All you need to do is connect the wire from Aux 3 or 4 to one of the solenoid's small terminals and run a ground wire from the other small terminal to the fender ground near the battery.

Run a cable from the crank battery positive to one of the solenoid's larger terminals, and cable from the other large terminal to the winch power terminal.
I had made a terminal block setup to make wiring the aux switches to other stuff super-simple. And I can change things around with a screw driver.

This is before I added the snow plow wiring and big fuse -

I haven’t hooked up the blinkers yet. I need to research a way to access the circuit without a tap.

American Adventure Labs make a plugin inline harness that makes it easy to run a line for bilnker accessories.

Got lots of small things done to my new Mojave. New LED headlight bulbs, hotheads soft top headliner, seat jackers, mopar soft roll up tonneau, orange grab handles. Things left to do, led fog light bulbs, led turn signal bulbs. Not sure what else I should do. I don’t want new tires or rims. Give me some ideas.

Save your $ for when you do want new wheels or tires haha

joking aside, just enjoy it. Mods and little trinkets will come with time and necessity.

Thanks. I saw that too. But they say “available on back log”

They are a smaller shop and I think they make a handful of things to order. I don't recall how long mine took, but I don't feel it was that long.

Quadratec also makes one, but that one you need a seperate ground.
NM, no blinker on the quadratec.

Thanks. I’ll call them after the holiday. I have one of the DRL harnesses from qtech, but they’re out of stock for a second one. I don’t need a ground, just the positive lead. The lights are already grounded for the other side of their function.

Corrected a mistake I made when ordering the truck

Yep, I made the same mistake.

Hardly worth noting - removed wreath from grill, unhooked snow plow. Looks like spring has arrived early so may just put it away.

70 degrees in mid Tenn today. I took my grandson out on the Roadglide for the annual new years day ride. Rode in short sleeves. But alas, winter has just arrived!! Might not want to bury that plow under all those waiting JT mods waiting in boxes just yet!!

Haha I hear ya. The next big thing will be sprayed in bed liner. I’m happy with my wheels and tires. Although I’m thinking about adding a better steering stabilizer.

That is awesome. Thank you.
