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

[shokker70]

Assume these work and don't blow around at highway speeds? I tried something similar before. Passenger side would NEVER get tight enough to hold. 70+, both sides a bit suspect.

Two of my JKs I just mvoed the factory mirrors. Even when they were power. Rather not do that to my JT.

Put on new Warn tube doors - front doors only with added mirrors..

Why only the front ... because Warn didn't put the door handles in the rear tube package. Hopefully they get me those soon. I have heard a good bit about quality control with these Warn tube doors .... but I just liked their look the best so risked it.

Note: I reached out to Warn this afternoon and they confirmed they shipped out a set of handles to me within an hour of me letting them know. So far terrific customer service to make up for what is likely poor overseas quality control.

as for the mirrors got the
Manual Side View Mirrors Textured Driver and Passenger Replacements for 03-06 Jeep Wrangler 55395061AD 55395060AD

from Amazon $50 set. Did have to pickup some 1/4-20 x 1" bolts (x6) along with washers and cap nuts (at Lowe's and then gave them a matt black dusting of bolts and heads).

The mirrors fit almost perfect but they have a notch on the bottom corner that made them push out from the door hing bracket. Took dremel tool to the little plastic notch and now a custom fit (5 minute fix).

I have this same bike rack! works perfectly on the JT.

One word of caution - do not drop the tailgate and then sit on it if the bike rack is folded up...I may or may not have done this the other day and now have a gash on the "J" of the JEEP logo and a small dent and gash in the paint near the "P".

Got a quote for $600 to fix it since apparently to "do it right" the body shop will need to remove the tailgate and everything on it (trim, camera, light, etc), remove the dent, paint the area around it, and then clear coat the whole thing and replace the JEEP logo (which costs $100 by itself).

Anyways...its a fantastic bike rack!

I got some lights installed on my Fab Fours rack. No more work truck look!

Just installed be LED headlights and I have to say, so far not pleased with the beam pattern. Flat top and both slant up and to the right on the bottom. I tried turning them as well, this is it. Also installed a passenger dash grab handle tray. Any suggestions for the headlights? Going to see how they look at night.

Added the missing hook!

Yes they are silver. If a Rubicon can have red the Overland can have silver.

Supernova V.4 headlights and fog lights. They’re pricey, but well worth it versus installing new housings. Sharp cut off and very bright. I bought mine from Headlight Revolution. Their fulfillment time was horrendous (backordered for 4 months), but in the end I am very happy with the lights. Be careful if you order them. Supposedly Headlight Revolution carries the originals and there are plenty of fakes out there. Photos are low/fog, low, high, and low/fog.

i have head light revolutions LED plug and play lights and I am absolutely in love with them. Zero issues in the 9 months ive had them in.

@Moe_Fugga I was hoping to use these lights as a nice cheap upgrade over the halogens. The cutoff is nice up top and looks fairly even, I just didn't like the bottom part of the beam aesthetically up close. It's not dark here yet and I'm not going to drive at night until tomorrow when I get off work. I'll see how well they perform then, if it's just not great looking up close then I can live with that. I just want nice bright white light projected in front of me, I don't like yellow looking lights. I'll report back on it.

Make sure you position the LEDs on the left and right. That’s how I read they need to be positioned. Supernova says that in the manual also. I hope they work out for you!

Not today but five hours on Saturday, five hours on Sunday, and two hours yesterday. Foam, hand wash, clay bar, ceramic polish
and wax, and ceramic spray coating (2 coats). First time using Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic products.

Can you post pics of your tonneau cover with the elevate rack? You might be the first to figure this out.

Sorry for the very delayed reply. So get this...The cover is here, the cover rails that accept the rack are here and the rooftop tent is here. The elevate rack is on back order and I’m told I won’t have it for 6-8 weeks. I considered exploring other options but feel this is the best option for me based on aesthetics and price. Photos to follow once it’s all installed.
