Oh shit..................I like that paint on the grill.

That will be way cheaper than buying and painting a 2024 grill
+1, that looks slick!

I'm also super jealous of those tan seats. Anyone want to trade???

+1 on the Tan seat comment. So mad they did not offer that option on the JTs with HVY paint option

Nothing as big or dramatic or requiring deep thought, calculations, math or really any degree of difficulty at all - just put the wreath on for the holidays and added a permanent connector for my BatteryMinder 1550 so I can just plug in and not clip to any battery terminals.

I connected to the plow fuse since it was close to the chassis ground and kept the wiring away from the batteries themselves.
Large hot cable goes from main battery + to winch solenoid terminal and then another cable goes from the winch solenoid terminal to the plow fuse so I only have one cable actually going to the battery. The winch solenoid is a "terminal block" for my purposes so the BatteryMinder connection goes through the 200 amp plow fuse, to the winch solenoid hot side then up to the battery +, minimizing the number of wires up there and keeping the charger connection well out of the way, mostly hidden.

I only use the 12v outlet under the hood a couple of times a year - saves running the cord clear into the cabin, keeps all wiring up front, easy to remove the wreath connection in January when the wires are cold and stiff.

Since the wreath is only on for a short time, I don't really mind the big bundle of wires tucked in there out of the way. It's temporary.

I still need to get rid of my crappy marker legends on here and make some nice neat labels up for things. I know what's what, but if it's in for any service or warranty work - I want them to know what's what, and what's hot or not.

+ and - for the battery tender connection marked

Simple basic stuff, nothing big or major, nothing compares to major stuff here.
I don’t see that wreath lit up. I’m wondering if you really have it wired correctly. ?

After a year of debating and research, new wheels and tires today. Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35" and Black Rhino Abrams Gun Metal. Couldn't be happier. Next. going to do a 1.5" level on front.
Decided to copy you on my Stingray Mojave. They look better in person than in pics but I totally love them. They match my stingray paint pretty closely too. I was worried about the poke but I think it makes the Gladiator look a bit more proportional IMHO.

LOL - well, the BatteryMinder was lit up like a tree - flashing green and blinking blue.
Does that count?

Ac via the built in. The plug isn't waterproof, which fine being in the truck, but the LED lights are. Just stick command hooks on the fenders and roof and away I go. I was doing 70mph today and they stay on like a champ.
