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

[DaytonOhioGladiator]

Can you explain that? I’m too lazy to look it up at the moment.

Super easy. Don't break out any tools except a new, clean utility blade. Just cut off what sticks out beyond the bumper. Make one pass with the knife to score the plastic and then another to easily cut. This will leave the plastic panel in place to cover the fog light bulbs, but get rid of the extra material that goes up to the fender flare.

I figured that was the case. I agree it looks better without. I have read several threads about it. Has anyone seen a real world drop in MPG from removing it? Fuel economy isn’t my priority in the JT, I’m just curious how effective those little pieces are.

I installed a home-made mod that is critical to a man with a Jeep and 3 little girls.

I'd need to see a photoshop design. Never been a big fan of the wagon wheels

I seriously considered those if I went with the Gobe color. I just couldn't find them in the right bolt pattern at the time.

That is the most brilliant and practical mod I've seen since the snow brush mod. My daughter will thank you!

Here's my 10 second MS paint quick apply with the white. It might be 32 hours for me to do them in black.

Whose fender liners do you have ?

Installed a set of front 2.5" Fox DSC shocks on the Gladiator. The 2.0's were nice, but a little soft for my liking. I hope Fox releases the rear in the near future

Dang, you really want me to get those wheels! Haha. I'll have to let that sink in. I'm currently running out of cash, as the first payment is coming due.

You need what I like to call a Jeep Job. Its a job that you go to after your job that you hate doing but it pays for your Jeep parts addiction. I will be starting my Jeep job again as soon as spring arrives

I was curious to see how it'd look. Perhaps my next Glad will go with the retro throwback. It's a cool way to go.

This is what I call dedication on the Jeep front. I know my budget is starting to get a bit out of control. But I am replacing my old JK plow with the Glad. And I don't really need my F-150 anymore. So swapping out 2 for 1 seemed like a better maneuver.

My older brother has a nice low mileage Scrambler. Here's a shot of his and someone's Rubi JT.

Some cheap amazon liners up front(Artec rip), and JCR rear.
I had to cut them a good bit up front to fit the shocks.
