yes, I ran the wires inside the box frame all the way up to the aux wires in the engine compartment. Used the factory wire looms under the bed, zip tied to that, made my way to a hole back there to enter the box frame. Then There is a hole in the box frame behind the shock that serves as an easy exit to go straight up to the aux wires and ground location. See photo

Nice, thanks for sharing. This is going to be a mod I take on soon, the reverse lighting is lacking, and there is pretty much no lighting at all when I am hitching a trailer.

yeah, backing my boat trailer after dark was my primary reason for doing it, no light at all where we park it. these KC C2's put out a huge amount of light, they'll light up the entire area. highly recommend!

This looks ridiculous! I freaking love it!!!!!!! What lift exactly are you getting? I just put 35's on an Overland and it looks almost the same (as far as wheel space goes) but I cant decide on what lift. I love the way it drives now and I mostly commute, so I dont want to f that up.

Thank you!

Mine actually drives better than stock with the 37's at 35 PSI.

I purchased a 2.5 inch ReadLift before I got the Gladiator, just have to schedule with my guy to install it.

I had the same experience when going to 35's.... Rides better than stock. Of course stock tire pressures were ridiculously high.

I usually do my own wrenching, but I literally don't have the time right now, and I want it on ...LOL.

If that changes I will do it myself.

I hear ya. Your rig is looking awesome and you want to complete the look. I hate waiting on someone to make time to help, when I want it done NOW. Lol

I removed those euro wind deflectors or whatever they are called underneath the turn signals ... I didn't like how exposed that left the fog lights and wiring .. so cut the plastic with Dremel .. and problem solved .. this is a rough draft .. gonna need to sand down and smooth a lil more .. then I'll just rattle paint it ..

Installed BuiltRight bedside Molle panels, along with mounted trax, hatchet, shovel, emergency light and a Jerry can attached to the side rail. Assembled and strapped down my pup's new truck crate, which is very Jurassic Park in look and build as well as crash rated. Added Jeep slush mats, Rugged Ridge sill protectors, fire extinguisher and some Atomic Monkey gear (bags, handles and FE holder). Installed a Redarc Tow Controller and a Uniden CMX 760 CB along with a dual Firestick antenna set (overkill but I like them) on custom brackets I made. Stole my dog's Kong-style grenade for an antenna "bumper" and ordered two more--one for the other side and the other to give back to Scout. And finally, went to see Jonathan, Kyle and Bob at American Off-road Customs to order my lift, shocks, wheels, tires and whatever other parts we need to get this finished right. I went with MetalCloak 3.5" Gamechanger (plus drag link, drive shaft, steering stabilizer, and tie rod...oy), Fox Smoothies, Black Rhino Abrams wheels, Nitto Ridge Grappler 37" tires, and a Tazer.

Lift, suspension, wheels and tires scheduled to be done Wednesday.

Crazy how quickly the JT can suck you into the great mod-hole. Fun, though.

Update: parts arrived. Lift, wheels, tires, etc. on tomorrow, in time for a whole new post. :)

Did a little woodwork for the Gladiator. Thinking I might want to bedcoat it ...
