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

Nah, it's the bed giving it an illusion. Is it the 3.5" kit? I did mine and it measured out within less than 1/8 level.

I think it’s the 2.5” kit that he installed. I’ll find out and put a tape on the truck tomorrow.

Good stuff right there! Thx for the reco

This makes me sad... Bells had a distributor dispute and pulled out of VA. My usual bar had a keg of that stuff every year and it's so damn good.

is it just me or does the front look a little high?

Same RC 2.5" level here. Yeah you'll be a little nose high. I'm 1/2" high after bumper and winch. I'm waiting awhile for everything to settle before adding anything to the rear. FYI adjust your headlights

Added the Warn bar and 10" VooDoo Rack this week....more to come...until the well runs dry....maybe

Love to know where you got your grill guard from. What brand is it? I am thinking of getting a Rubicon steel bumper and to that I would add a grill guard and I would add a set of fog lights to that grill guard. See the much lower Mopar guard on this red Jeep. I like the looks of yours. Thanks to advise the brand name and who sells it.

Thanks @MarkO It’s a fantastic and a great price. Shopping around now for the best price on a Mopar Rubicon steel bumper along with the skid plate. I know I can’t use my current plastic skid plate. CJ Pony parts has an unusual looking skid plate that I may get if it will work. See pictures attached. And they have a Mopar Rubicon steel bumper(picture attached). But I don’t think it will accept a winch to it which seems more than odd to me. Gotta get them on the phone so I can pick their brains about this.

Anyone know of a great price for a Mopar Rubicon steel bumper? Thanks to advise.

Marko, The grille bar you asked about I believe is mopar part# 82215351. I have that one and it mounts to the OEM steel bumper using the bolts already on the bumper.

I'm sorry, it was Jake who asked about this.

The guard is from Warn. I really like the fit and will provide room for lights. Stole the look from @TRI-JAB

 

[Jake]

Thanks @ron168 Am certain that @TRI-JAB will be ok with this. Trying to work out the bumper details with CJ Pony Parts. They sell the Mopar bumper and just told me that it will not accept a winch. And I have seen so many pictures of that Mopar/Jeep steel bumper with a winch in it. And have read in many places that you can put a winch in it. I find it almost impossible to believe. Doing a tad more research before I buy one from CJ Pony Parts. They sell the full size steel bumper for $995 includes free freight, is not the stubby bumper.

Anyone else know of a good price on that Mopar/Jeep steel front bumper includes free delivery? Has anyone put a winch on their factory Mopar/Jeep front steel bumper? Almost 100% certain that it can be done but now the folks at CJ Pony parts have me scratching my head wondering if it really can or can’t be done. Comments welcome and thanks folks.

Did you try to source it directly from a Mopar distributor?
That or get one from one of the guys here how took it off to go aftermarket.
My 2 cents

Thanks @George D. Much appreciated and a great price that has free delivery. And for everyone’s info I just had a on line chat with someone from Mopar parts and they told me that you can put a winch inside this bumper. Passing this in in case anyone else is thinking of doing this. Checking on a Warn winch for this bumper before I pull the trigger and order it. As y’all can see there is a Warn winch in the red Jeep I posted a picture of.
