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

[MATANZAS STING RAY]

Correct.. I'm referring to the bracket bolts. There is only 1 on each side...

Hmmm, mine's a different design....Held on by the 4 bolts but did not connect to the bumper like yours.....I ditched the plastic bumper anyway.... I'll take and post a pic tomorrow.....

i'm so jealous of all these "no snow" photos. You guys are still putting stuff on your rigs. I'm battling the cold and snow trying to make my bed boxes one piece at a time.

Anyways, got this little plumbing nightmare smashed into the corner. Water tank shows up on friday.

From top to bottom 3/4" vent and overflow when filling, 3/4" gravity fill or with garden hose fill (I think people call that city hookup) and 1/2" output from 12v pump.

Will also have a tank breather vent to let air in so it won't vacuum collapse. Then I'll also have at least 1 extendable faucet, all coming from this corner of the truck.

Yeah, my skid plate with the plastic bumper did not attach to the bumper. However, I looked closely at the picture I linked above of the steel bumper skidplate I ordered and it appears it's the same as ColoradoGlad's. And I have the identical places to mount it--just missing a couple nutplates and bolts that are easily sourced and installed (not nutserts, which are best installed with a special tool unique to each brand of nutsert).

Which Bumper is that? I want a full width and I am looking at options?

@kingpin71: this looks like the Rugged Ridge HD bumper - https://ruggedridge.com/hd-bumper-full-width-front-07-18-wrangler-jk-18-19-wrangler-jl-11540-31.html. I have one in the garage that I'm going to try and install this weekend.

So, I took delivery of my overland about a month ago. Thus far I've done:

-Amp Research PowerSteps
-Stubby Antenna
-Tinted windows all around
-Undercover flex tonneau
-Take off Rubicon wheels
-67 design bar w. phone holder
-vent mount flag decal (bought the damn machine to cut these myself )
-passenger handle storage cup.
-fox steering stabilizer

In the plans
-Rubicon take off suspension
-tailgate decal black stripe
-spray in bed liner (not quite as bothering not having this with the tonneau
-front bumper (unsure which)
-hot heads headliner, hopefully this helps people be able to hear me on bluetooth while driving
-cowl lights
-aux buttons (aftermarket)

Will post some pictures shortly. My first jeep and yup I got the fever bad.

Here's pics of the bolt locations for the Skidplate on my Rubicon....

We have snow in Florida.... oh wait, it's beach sand.....

Disabled the Auto stop/start...with no tazer or warning lights on the console display. (Or so I thought...updated)

Seen posts about unplugging this hood switch, and leaving it unplugged...which cause a warning light. So I decided to just move the switch so it stays in the open position.

Seems to work, on my quick spin around the block. No warning lights and no auto stop/start.

Update: Crap...light came on when I did a longer drive.

 

[OrangeChuck]

My JT is still on order, but I understand the best way to disable the auto start/stop without warning light is to get a manual transmission.

Then simply don’t come to a stop while in neutral with the clutch released; stop at lights with the clutch pressed in.

sure sure, rub it in.

Negative 8 deg this morning, Gladys warmed up real nice. Couldn't even tell it was a convertible. (i have hard top).

Sand's a little grainy when rubbed in..especially with suntan lotion..... at least the snow would melt, LOL!

Interesting.. And this is the factory steel bumper with the removal end caps?

 

[MATANZAS STING RAY]

no,

No, mine was with the plastic version..... I planned on replacing the bumper anyway so did not order the steel one..... The factory skid plate works well with my aftermarket bumper.....
