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

[TheSolarWizard]

New bumper and winch.

Thoughts on the bumper? I’m really digging it with the overrider and I’ve got a 25% Qtec coupon that would make it really cheap. I also love the ARB Bondi bumper but I’m a bit concerned about cooling since it sort of sits up

What are your thoughts on the rugged ridge sill guards? They obviously cover more than the mopar guards. Any issues with fitment, any impact on doors etc? I love the look of the mopar stainless steel ones but I prefer function over looks and these look like they would provide much more protection at a much reduced price.

I bought the Mopar sills first and sent them back. Less coverage, not as attractive and just plastic on the Mopar ones.

The RR are very good IMO. They cover the top of the paint area that is more likely to get scuffed and longer too. Hard rubber, good fit with no door issues and look good. I think you will like them. I added some additional 3M VHB tape to make them even stronger when installed.

Thanks. I guess that is on the order list this week along with who knows what else. Amazing how much can be spent and other than my tonneau cover I haven't even started on the expensive stuff I really want (lift, new tires, maybe rims, etc)

Why was the original thread locked?

Regardless, Fluid Filmed the underside Friday and spent most of today tracking down a few squeaks and rattles that have shown up. Took the Freedom Panels off and lowered the window and silicone the seals and re-torqued the hard top fasteners and eliminated 95% of that problem.

Same here on the expensive stuff. Lift, bigger tires, soft doors, amp/speaker upgrade, etc all on the future list. I went to a local Jeep Fest yesterday and made me feel like I have even started yet. So much cool stuff out there.

Your's is the first Rubicon JT that I seen debaged. Removing the "Rubicon" and "Gladiator" decals will be the first mod I will do when I receive my ordered white Rubicon, did the same to my previous TJ, JK, and JL Rubicons.

Where did you have the tint done? I am in Rock Hill. Will be looking to do the same with my Gator, if Jeep ever releases the color...

Sun stoppers on Cherry Road across from Publix. Did a great job!

Bought some seat covers at Gander Outdoors because they are closing and everything was 40% off. Bonus that Kryptek's logo is a match for the Gladiator.
