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

[TheHops]

Installed Mopar cowel light mounts & 4” 360 rigid spots, & fog lights on the front bumper.
Also my portable ARB twin is now onboard under passenger seat. Waiting on a few fittings to install my air up down system for each wheel well

Looks good. I just finished installing my Innovative JK Products kit myself yesterday.

Just curious: How did you decide to run your wiring? Did you go out through the passenger floor drain plug?

I got the works. With Paint correction and Guaranteed 5year Ceramic Coat, all trim, glass, 12 prepaid maintenance trips to freshen it up and sales tax it was pretty steep at $2200 . A 2 year ceramic without the maintenance was around $1100. YMMV since it’s black (the worst) it took a fair amount of paint correction. I saw it under the lights. Also regional differences

awesome, thanks!! I also have black...glad to know its not just me that thinks the paint is thin and easy to scratch

Installed N Fab steps, 20x10 Fuel wheels with 35” Nitto’s, and a 2.5” lift.

Yes & up the firewall using the portable cable line

About to press the button on this...I see that the clips add 2.5" so if I were to put a tent...that would measure 20.5" above my head? (Trying to reduce the knugget knocking ) does that sound right you think?

Looks awesome btw

Just seeing this. On mine, the top of the rack is now about 75" off the ground, which would mean that you should be okay unless you're taller than 6" 3" and refuse to bend. I'm 6' 1" and the likely addition of a tent or awning was part of my reasoning when I chose the 18" (20.5') version over the 14" (16.5'). Also, I prefer having more room for rack-mounted items and bed storage as well as keeping the unobstructed view out the back window.

I do recommend the rack. It's been very solid and I agree that it looks good. Thank you.

Why didn't you use an aux switch?

Awesome set up!

So what’s next on your list?

I’ve got the front bed panel and both side panels Jcr molle coming and already have all my roto tanks here water gas etc. Bed gear ready to mount axe,shovel and jack, just waiting for panels.

After that I’m looking into custom air compressor and tank system that I’m gonna build. Included in the rack for the compressor I’m adding a back up battery.

I’m actually building this to go on overland trips so trying to make sure I’ve met all my needs.

Installed the JCR molle panel so I could have some place to mount my fancy Rotopax gas can. Not that I can travel far enough to need extra gas.

Awesome
I’m still waiting for my panels. Ordered them 2 weeks ago but now their saying backordered till May 8th....
Where did you get yours?

 

[Chaimstein]

I got it from JCR. I ordered it March 9 and it was shipped March 20. I think I lucked out on that.

Should we start a "FOR" thread? Or "BECAUSE OF"

This is what I did today. I swapped over @JP1 Rubicon suspension from his pretty PLYWOOD crate, to a much dingier one that @spenchey gave me last July. (Better late than never)

Then I dismantled the pretty box so I can use the panels as decorations FINALLY!

Got some bedroom decorations now, made like 10 more cubic feet of space in my garage, and might convert this suspension into some money

What's the going rate on an unused Rubicon Suspension and Stabilizer? Thinking of selling it and not putting it on my Sport S.

I would have just paid @JP1 thousands for the plywood box alone, but he threw in LE wheels and a suspension.

Had the computer re-flashed for the larger tires today. It might be my imagination but the transmission seems smoother at least.

It’s not imagination. I installed the pulse on mine. The shift points were horrible and mpg followed.
I went from 14 to 18’s around town. It would never shift out of 6th on interstate and now 8th 75mph @1500rpm.

Best to deal with JCR direct, in my experience. I ordered from a third party and saved a couple bucks, but it wasn't worth it. They were crap about updates and ended up drop shipping from JCR anyway. Mine took right at a month to arrive. Great product, but don't expect them to be delivered any time soon.

Increased MPG would be an unexpected bonus.
