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

[Dwosgood]

Finally got around to installing my Alloy USA 1.5” leveling kit with shock extensions And removing the air dams (gonna cut them and reinstall later on to cover the fog light wiring). It looks much better, but now the factory Sport S shocks feel a bit spongy, so new shocks are definitely on the horizon. Install took about 1.5 hours including a four mile test drive to make sure my wheels don’t fall off.

New tires are on the horizon as well, probably next weekend.

New to the forum. Just picked up 2020 Gladiator and started my build immediately. Will post some pics soon.

Removed all factory speakers and installed all new kicker mids and tweeters and a custom box under rear seat with 2-10” pioneer shallow subs.

Still enough room on side panels to mount maxtrax and rotopax?

Yes there's room. See this post.

@JWest One thing I forgot to mention, the rack sits right in the middle of the back window so it does get in the way of the rear view mirror. Doesn't bother me though.

Added Bartact Tactical Seat Covers with red stitching to match the the rest of the interior.

Maaaaan, I need to get those, so nice, looks great!

Looks great. I looked on their site and didn't see ones with red stitching. Did you call them and special order them ?

Thanks in advance

Put in some yellow Supernova V.4 LED fogs. Still waiting on V.4 headlight bulbs to complete my LED lighting swap. They are a HUGE improvement over factory halogens.

Fogs only:

EAG Tube Doors, bought from amazon in december when they were on sale, I think I paid either $299 or $349 for the set of 4, sweet deal, they just take a little bit to set-up the latch’s at proper depth, I just installed them and habent had a chance to test them off-road but while beach-crawling and hughway driving theres no rattles.

I need to post this stuff in my build thread but Ive been so busy with..life, I just havent had enough time to.

Developed a shimmy that turned into death wobble, my stock stabilizer took a dump and leaked, so, installed this and went through my front suspension and retorqed every nut bolt to spec, no more shimmy or DW.

I cant even remember which brand this extinguisher mount is, got it on amazon, it works well, no rattling after a three day weekend at Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari or Festivus, cant recall the entire acronym.

I used some hood mounts for my “Hi-lift”....err I mean farm jack. Mounted to my cheap bedrails, which I still need to paint.
The lift mounts actually double as tie-down points. Oh, also from Amazon, side note on that, no part numbers sorry, they’re all mostly the same though.
The fuel cans are harbor freight, no mounts fir them yet, maybe within the next couple weeks.

Custom stitching is listed on their site but you have to call them to order it. I love these covers had 3 other sets on past JK’s. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Love the mods. Those jerry cans looks like it won't fit under a cover. What mounts are you planning to use and can they be placed sideways?

Thanks man.
Yea, too tall for a bedcover as is, but I think there will be room for/aft with the mounts layed down. I’ll probably go with Smittybuilt or similar mounts as long as their lockable and inexpensive.

I installed my Road Armor Stealth full width front bumper. I'm as impressed with the quality of the front as I am the rear one. I tossed in two sets of Rigid pods: a set of amber driving pattern lights, and SAE fogs spliced in to the factory circuit. Also pictured are a set of Rugged Ridge headlight guards. Great quality, and I can't wait for the tail light guards. Admittedly, they seem more cosmetic, since the openings are quite large...but they were on sale, and some protection is better than none on lamps this expensive!

Before:

After:

A WARN VR EVO 10S winch and 20" Rigid hyperspot light bar are forthcoming on the bumper, once I find them on sale.

I also replaced the fender vents with functional turn signals. Very pleased with how they turned out! I don't have a picture of them lit up, but they're very bright. Noticeably brighter than the factory LED turn signals on the front of the fenders.

Before:

After:

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty productive day!
