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

[Twizzler]

Those Carhart seat covers... in the back, is the bottom split as well? Meaning, can you lift the 60% seat up and access storage underneath without disrupting the bottom half of the cover on the 40%?

I only ask because some of these 60/40 seat covers are split on the top half (for folding seats down) but NOT split on the bottom half (for folding seats up), and I can't quite tell from their product photos, which make them highly annoying in a Gladiator with the OEM underseat storage

Yes, I can fold up or down as I had before I put the covers on. Both sections (60/40) have two pieces so utility is not affected.

They also include covers for the armrest in the back.

Dash swap. Super easy with the proper instruction

How does the airbag deploy? Through the middle of the panel along the seam or does it push the panel down deploying out the top?

Oh and for the record, torx head screws can go F off, what an absolute PAIN messing with 4 bolts that should screw in under 2 minutes that ended up taking a good 30 minutes of frustrating attempts to line up the allen wrench in the torx head and fumble with 1/4 turns...pretty sure that allen wrench is now orbiting the earth after I chucked it out of the garage once I tightened the last one

First Jeep? If so, it won't be long until you buy a Torx set.

I've got so many Torx type tools - sockets, screwdriver bits and more I'd never use the supplied "wrench" like that - I'd put a bit in my handle and use it like a screwdriver until I needed to do the final tightening. I have more of those bits than I'll ever use so will toss a bunch of that stuff under the seat to have handy. I have Torx bits in 3/8" drive, 1/2" drive, for drills, for screwdrivers (the hex quarter inch drive type)
I still have boxes of that sort of stuff from Dad's garage after he died - you couldn't see the top of his work benches any more and now I have to say the same for mine. I think he collected that stuff at one point - became a tool hoarder.
I figure I'll determine what I need to remove the panels, top, or any other part, and make myself a kit to keep in the truck since there's nice storage. LOL - it will clear some of the stuff off my benches.

Added rock lights that will turn on with my bed lights or whenever I put it in reverse.

Wish there was a "love" choice instead of only "like". In other words- wow, really nice!

Took delivery of my Gator Rubicon today. 2" Mopar lift and BFG KO2 315/70/17C's.

Will a heat gun take the Rubicon stickers off without damage? (Provided I don't overdo it).

i used a blow dryer on low to take the sport badge off the rear. Came off like butter, don't use too much heat or you'll burn the paint I think.

That's awesome. Can you post which lights you used?

I would say out of the panel. There’s a skit about 3/4 of the way down on the bottom. Looks to come out right there. I’d say the panel splits 3/4 - 1/4 upon deployment

Figured out the cuts for the factory insert so I don’t have to cut the actual insert if people have the trail cam.

Demon eyes and under glow / rocklights were last weeks mod.

That looks bad ass, how difficult was the install of the demon eyes?

 

[Trauma PA]

I've been wanting to get this done also but everybody around here is charging $500+ for install and align. 250 is amazing

Takes 1 1/2 hours to do this yourself with a floor jack, jack stands, and a socket and wrench set. I'm not a mechanic or a grease monkey either. No alignment needed either. Waste of money.
