I spy some ///M gear! Have the same license plate surround, but in the closet now since I don't have my E90 M3 anymore :crying:

Tough to tell from the pictures; are those antenna mounts or air connections at your rear bumper?

I test fit my new KC Hilites PRO6 LED lights on my OEM steel bumper with the Warn Low Grille Guard installed.

They fit perfectly using the existing mounting holes. I was a bit nervous if they would fit when I ordered the lights. Started looking into making a custom mounting bracket.

now I just need to wire them up this weekend and install a few extra goodies that arrived the last couple days...

BTW - the lights look blue because I have not yet removed the Blue protective film.
Would you mind sharing a view through the TrailCam?

Good eye. Yes, thought it was amusing to re-use my carbon fiber M license plate frame on my anything-but-lightweight Gladiator.

Mounts are custom brackets off the rock rails and quick-disconnects for antennas: What did you do TO your Gladiator today?

Not today, but mounted some Rigid Dually SS Pro’s to the wife’s Gladiator. Used Baja Design mounts.

I love those D-SS PROs. They're wicked bright. I have a spot set that I will be reusing on this rig on a set of Rigid cowl mounts I ordered. As far as forward lighting, the plan right now is to have an amber spot set and the D-SS PROs up top on the cowl mount, and an amber set + a white set of Rigid driving patterns, along with a Rigid 20" white hyperspot bar in my eventual Road Armor front bumper.

As for what I've done to the Gladiator today, I'm getting the bed line-x'd in a couple of hours. I also ordered a set of 35x12.50R17 Ridge Grapplers yesterday, and will be ordering a set of Method 313 +25 offset wheels today, so pictures to come on that when it all comes in.

Will do. I won't have it until this weekend, but I will be sure to post one after I have them wired up.

Installed a dead pedal. Haven't hot too use it yet (still drying) but it will be ready when I leave for work in the morning.

I was actually going to ask if anyone here used those as the floor is a ways away in the JT. For my Chevy, there was a spot made on the floor on the far left for your left foot. You had no place for your right foot if using cruise, but your left foot had a place. The JT doesn't -
So - let us know how it works, what you think. I've been considering one.

Nice grille and headlights in that pedal. Love the color too ... international orange!

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

IMG_20200102_103332.jpg
I used plastic decking planks. I added rubber chair leg end cap to the rear one, both to reach the adequate height and allow some space underneath. In the front, I fixed a second plank to keep it in place. I cut the material a little longer so it’s really tight and doesn’t move. Even if it is thinner, it's really though and weights more than the real wood version. I was able to buy thicker (and heavier!) planks in the past but can’t find them anymore.

It's actually red but I had a light on it so it looks orange. Like most Jeep colors, the Firecracker red changes in light a little. The pedal works great.

It feels about perfect. The install was a little confusing and I had to drill the mounting hole a little bigger to get it on but it was otherwise simple. Very nice improvement. I figured I'd color match it to my Firecracker Red so when the doors are off it would pop.
