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

[drewcnit]

Today was adding lighting to my bobbed bed and running it to my switch.
KC HiLites C2 cubes in the rails

Seems I have an issue with the driver side, probably where I spliced the two together, will check that in the morning but the passenger side is friggin bright and I'll do better shots of what it illuminates when it's not 10pm and I'm not accidently lighting up the neighbors house too.

Also added the Baja Designs Squadron Sports to the bottom of the rear tail lights, they are my tailgater lights now.

Got the side lights wired and the extra rear lights wired to individual switches, was toying with doing passenger/driver side separate anyway, so maybe the driver side not working tonight was just confirmation I need to do that.
Tomorrow is adding the tire carrier rack, trying to move the spare up ?. Hopefully will get done earlier and can get some decent shots in the daylight.

Looks great Joe, skinny 35” tires and that two inch lift is what you are gonna need to drag my unlifted , skidded to the Max, Glady through Rausch Creek this year! Pat and I hope the boys are good, still laugh about them kicking their ball down that long hill!….Jack

Still lucky I didn't sprain my ankle running after it! And we've gotta get something on the books for sure. I'm excited to take this upgraded version of the truck out!

There will be a few posts to this thread today. So depending on what I finish, I’m doing it as I go.

1. 41.22 kill switch installed. Works great.

I’m so ready to be topless, I bought lumber to build a garage for it!

Swapped out all of my front halogens for LEDs, and adjusted the headlamps so I don't get flashed.

2. Put the sunrider back on until winter.

3. Removed ski racks and reinstalled Starlink.

4. Started alpine speaker install, but reverted back to factory after realizing I have no audio signal from left rear on the sound bar.

Edit: after letting the radio reset, the signal is fine to that channel again. I’ll do this again tomorrow.

Not today, but yesterday gave her the first oil change at 4,300 miles.

Rotated the tires and while I had the tires off I figured what the heck I might as well install my 3/4” rear spacer under the spring. Got my slight rake back after the 1.5” front level.

Nice work. I like being level…after I’m loaded down.

Day and a half project

Installed Roadshock Edge lights.


The goods...

The organized work space (el oh effin el)

unplanned disassembly to get to turn signal harness

Tapping my turn signals to trigger the amber backlight

Finished-ish... comparison videos coming
Need to aim them tomorrow night.

Look forward to seeing the video. Have been contemplating swapping my pillar cube LED's.

Great write up and thanks for the diagram!!! Eventually, I´m going to do probably the same or similar lighting set up. It is similar to what I did on my JL, but I spent much more money....Baja Designs LP6 pair and Rigid DSS floods on the cowling. They perform amazingly well, but Harbor Freight has made it MUCH more affordable and the Road Shock 4´s hit the sweet spot for the cowling lights.

Nice work!

Removed the brand new steersmarts track bar to replace the stock adjustment clamps to the low profile ones. I was definitely going to have clearance problems otherwise.

Installed the Redarc Brake Controller, no abs error lights when pressing it's manual brake button without pressing my brakes as some early builds did. 9/19 build date
