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

[SwampNut]

I had that bumper on my JK, and loved it. Really nice fit, and pretty tough. Good choice.

I'm struggling with which grill guard bar to buy. I think it's down to the Warn low or a JRC that looks mid-height. What was your thought process about it? How did you decide? Would you choose this one again now that you have it?

Also I see you put your XRC controller on top, and mine is on the side. Top mount seemed like it would crush the wires between the winch and the grille panel. How did you route your wires?

I wanted a guard that crossed over my lights as close as i could get. I like the warn low guard and would purchase again.

The top mount is working great so far. The wires are slightly touching the bottom of the grille but not crushing them. I had to loosen the winch bolts that go into the bottom of the winch and push everything forward. As I kept forward pressure my gf tightened the bolts back down. It gave me enough room to route the wires without crushing them. I guess it may depend on what mounting plate you are using as well.

Yup, I'm sure it does, I have the Maxiumus-3. Thinking back, I should have just ground the holes enough to move it forward. I was at the limits of pulling it forward. I prefer the centered look. Ah well, I'll work on it again.

Appreciate it. Took me about a month to pull the trigger, kept going back and forth but in the end this one was one of my favorites.

Warn low grille guard, Rigid 360 6” driving pattern lights on the bumper and Rigid 360 4” spot pattern lights on the a posts. All I lack is wiring the a post lights now.

On a side note, I got the rigid lights with red back lighting to match my Jeep and they are a lot brighter than I thought they would be. I still like them but if it’s something that you want to keep on all the time while driving I would go for amber backlighting to stay legal

Any issues with the bar blocking the view of the trail cam?

what made you decide on Tuff Stuff over some of the other brands. I'm currently looking into getting some for the rear and side.

I wanted just the 4' and price really I believe it was like $150

Have not used it other then opening in the picture. Its a little easier with another person there. But the install is super easy.

Milestar Patagonia 37" on oem LE wheels with Synergy 1-5/8" hubcentric spacers. No lift. No rubbing so far but will likely go with lift soon.

Built a hoist in the garage, so I can lift and store the Jeep roof! Total cost: $38 of materials, a beer and one of my burgers. Lol.

added some hinge mount mirrors today for my first drive with the front doors off. Weather finally warmed up enough to do it.

Put on my RR Skidplate & since I live in a state where the front plate is required I mounted that to the skidplate. Legality of the location is definitly questionable, but at least its there (probably about half the jeeps I see running around here dont have it at all).

Had Black Rhino wheels & 33s, front leveling kit, rear airbags & compressor and tonneau cover installed today. Last week I installed new headlights with halos & had front window tint/bed-liner done. Now it's time to enjoy it!

What are the tires?

What are the tires?

TRAVELSTAR — P285/70R17 ECOPATH AT. Fairly inexpensive and they aren't too noisy. Going to mess around with tire pressures over the next week to see what works best for road noise. I'm on my phone a lot when I drive so the quieter the better

installed Undercover tonneau cover today. Ultra FLex with the carpet. Love it, Amazon for 923.. Getting the Bolts on was a Pain because of paint on the threads, Not the covers fault. Tip, run a fender bolt through the rear holes first! Cleans them out the tip helps to guide it and avoid cross threading. Tip two, Mount the included light before you bolt on the rail, won’t go on otherwise.

It blocks a little bit of the view but nothing too substantial.
