Who are you? Goldielocks?

If you search the web for "Goldilocks and the three holes" you'll be enlightened.

I need to find space in the center area - there, if anything was plugged in, it would get busted as I get in or out. Things that plug into 12v outlets tend to stick out a ways.
Would be nice if there was a way to add it to that way low down cubby in the center switch area that's worthless for anything but some spare change.

How about that little flat space on the left side of the glovebox “Oh Jesus” bar? Room behind that? I thought of putting my redarc there.

Very nice! Did you do this yourself?

Negative. Check out Distinction Applied. They do good work. Not cheap but nothing good is cheap.

did a few things

Clean!

lol, I love how nowhere did he say he liked it, a true master of suspense! Just that’s it’s different.

@jcarbs Please, relieve the suspense for the director here. Do you "like it"?

Finally got regeared last week to 5.13s and on went the 37 kenda klever tires today. Only 1.5lbs heavier than my previous Falken wildpeak 35s.

Put a grill with lights and put on rubicon flares.

dang that grill looks amazing!!!!!!!!
i just purchased a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Willy Sport and looking to do some cool things to mine...although does anyone know how much i should expect to pay to at least get my driver side door to have an automated lock? that is the only thing that i regret not having so am looking to get that done first.

Welcome to the club!

The kits for passive entry are pretty cheap (for jeep parts), and the project doesn't looks all that daunting after watching some videos online. Its on my jeeps to-do list as well. My wife's Grand Cherokee has the passive entry and it spoils me every time I'm in it.

It's piece of cake. I did it in my dark cold garage (it was about 30 degrees?) before I put better lights in the garage.
Tip - many videos use power tools on those screws - don't. Use hand tools. Why? Ask those who break screws on these trucks. If it's tight and fighting you, work the screw back and forth - back it up, run it back in, and so on. It will eventually come out without breaking anything. PATIENCE is the key. Some of the videos add steps or do things in ways that aren't an absolutely must if you work smart. I suggest taking the best parts of each video and going from there.
It was pretty easy - actually almost easier than swapping in tinted glass in the doors of my car.
The CSM - customer settings menu in the radio, for the passive entry may take a day to show up once the settings are changed using JSCAN, AlfaOBD or Tazer.
There's a whole thread here on how to do it all including the exact changes that need to be made in the BCM to make passive entry work.
However, Sport owners please note - you need to have power locks for it to happen. Don't some Sport versions have only manual locks or am I thinking of the 2020 Sport bare-bones models only?

thank you!
now on that link it says for each that it must have automated locks from factory...but i just have manual locks....so hopefully there is a way to do this...i guess they would have to just change out m door handle and lock and if more expensive, then again i am happy just to do this for the drivers side only... we shall see. just called my dealership and the service dept is going to get back to me...i would look elsewhere but my deal says something about only getting things done with them for my warranty to be valid? or am i understanding that wrong haha

That sounds fishy... As far as I know your warranty through Jeep should be honored at ANY dealership nationwide. It may be part of a service contract you have with them, but the warranty that comes with the truck should be honored at any Jeep dealer.
