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

Looks good! What does Badge Glow do? Does it just make it easier to connect to Aux switches by bringing the connections to under the hood?

Exactly. Just makes it cleaner. I attached Aux 1 through Aux 4 to it. I am running my lights on Aux 4 (the lights are less than 4 amps and Aux 3 & 4 are 15 amps). Next time I install something that needs power, I just have to run the wires to the BadgeGlow Aux board.

Nice, I need to look into it. But, I wired my CB from inside so I don't need to do that but I plan to add lights and that might be a cleaner solution. It is < $40 so not too shabby!

Is that Warn 10S or 12S you got going there? Did you connect that directly to the battery?

Added the Tyger Soft Tri-Fold Tonneau cover today. $200 and it fit and looks great!

Got two super-sticky rubber yoga mats and cut for length and around the wheel wells to make a fairly-effective bed liner. It seems like it will keep most things from sliding around much. Very sticky.

Three 40-gallon tubs (got that idea from someone else on the forum) and one ice chest make for a good lower-half storage system. I can put lighter stuff, like sleeping bags, duffels with clothing, etc. …, on top of the tubs. There's enough room around the sides for a number of cots and camp chairs, etc. … One of the tubs is about 1/3 full of recovery and emergency gear.

Bought some rubi rails from a neighbor. Now I've got to take these stupid Ocerland steps off and put the rails on.

it is the VR-12S. I was going to get the VR-10S, but with the Black Friday deals the delta was small enough that I was like “what the heck, why not just get the 12S”.
Yes - it is wired directly to the battery. No issues because it does not get power until you use the control. BTW - the wireless controller on it is cool. It only has in and out, but that is all I need.

Took the Overland steps off and put the Rubi rails on. I actually walked outside at 8:45, just to "see" how hard it would be, and had it done in 20 minutes or less. Super easy. Looks way better IMO. A lot easier to get in and out of. The damn steps are as high as the tub. Anyway, I got some steps for sale....

Way better look imo. Also makes it look like the body is 2" higher

Put on my Amp bed step. I had it on my Tacoma and really liked it, so I installed one again. I wish it went a smidge more to the outside like the Tacoma one did, but overall I’m pleased and it helps this short legged dude get up into the truck bed when needed

I’m thinking about getting the same phone mount. How do you like it? I saw a review that said the drivers side mount brings the phone a little too close to you and it recommended going with the passenger side mount as that was a better distance. What’s your opinion on that?
Thanks

Front bumper next!
Installed Auxiliary switches.
Mopar tri fold Toneau.
Bullet Proof Phone holder.
Synergy Track/Sector bar brace.

Swapped out the bs plastic Sport S “brush guard” (more like just a air dam) for a legit Rubicon metal front skid plate and a Rubicon bumper. Moving the fog lights over required some trimming as the mounting was different. Also used new bolts, lock washers, flat washers and nuts since I didn’t want to wait for the factory hex insert nuts. Much more trail worthy now!

Tax man came early, had an overage in my escrow account and Hell...that’s like found money to me! And found money can only be used for fun right? Ordered new 35 x 12.5 x r17 BF Goodrich KO2’s, get them mounted up on Tuesday. I don’t have any lift yet so I’m interested to see how she rides? I’ll post pics
