I'm lost in the font/language,

Added CB mount and button to handheld cb. Also, the magnetic antenna sits nice in the passenger corner with the top off. It tucks in under the front lip and stayed put on tight overhead brush even when struck. Still have determine my final solution for an antenna.

I just received and installed the rugged ridge door sill guards.

Any issues with the back ones? I felt like my front went in nicely, but the back seems to be slightly mis-shaped where the top lip doesn't sit flush against the frame.

Already have a rubber mat in the bed. Just finished adding a mat to the tailgate. I made it into 3 pieces. One for the rectangular cover, one for the square cover on the bottom of the tailgate and another piece for the rest of the bottom section of the tailgate. Could not run the rubber all the way to the bottom as I could not shut the tailgate. So I trimmed a tad off of the bottom section and just put down the soft side of Velcro across the bottom. I bolted it all in place and drilled holes in the rubber directly over where the 12 bolts screw in to hold the 2 covers in place. The screw heads that you see all have lock nuts and I attached them inside the tailgate. Was fun to do and am pleased with the end result. Will be putting a bike rack into the bed and this will protect my tailgate from getting trashed by my bike rack.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king

Very Nice!

Honestly I think the back fit better than the front. Not badly mind you but I feel like they didn't take the time to measure and mold the rubber for the gladiator. Personally I preferred the cut and everything of the mopar sill guards (plus mopar actually made marks to help you line up) but as we know the rugged ridge protects more surface area and mine are doing that quite well front and back. I did make sure to let mine sit flat for a few hours just to make sure they weren't off kilter from shipping before I put them in.

Yea I'm doing the same. My front ones went on pretty good, but the backs seemed all out of whack. I'll take your advice and let them sit out a bit to see if they were twisted during shipping, but it looks like a bad cut.

Hauled some plywood

Worked on finishing JCR Half rack. Waiting on additional back ordered Rotopax and mocking up mount locations. ROAM tent ready to go on. Lift, tires, wheels and Tazer mini on way this week.

Thanks for posting pics of your JCR half-rack. I'm looking at racks - want a full one - but "I still haven't found what I'm looking for." I expect to see a lot of new products announced at SEMA early November

Can’t imagine why you’d like racks ha

So I added my Acces Literider tonneau cover today. Had to chop the @BuiltRight panels some. Still need to clean it up and paint but I’m done for today.

Well they better get on it for the Gladiator! like soon..

the folding is why this is top on my list. This way it can still be used for boards or something.

Oh man that so cool. They run those in my local park. I should go talk to those guys. Steam is cool.

Steam is way more than cool! I've found it is the most satisfying and rewarding mechanical endeavor there is. Amazing stuff to operate, an honest and challenging mechanical beastie.
The little ones are no different than the big ones except exponential poundage.
Check out this one which I'm heavily involved with resurrecting and bringing to life.
Some parts will get transported with my JT!

I have many, many small steam engine engines. They are a blast.
