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

[Chinman]

First time taking the top and doors off. Also bought a cheap sunshade for $37 that is adequate, esp for the price.
RT-TCZ Sunshade Mesh Top Cover Roof UV Sun Protection for Jeep Wrangler JL JLU Rubicon Sahara Sport 4 Door 2018 2019 202

just a note...i went back and readjusted the sun shade so it didn't bother rear seat passengers. I folded the last section back over itself and ran the bungee cords through both grommets....looks much better.

If a forum sponsor, one of those folks who directly pay for this forum, announced a new product and you posted an alternative, that would be rude. You should have, however, been notified of your post's deletion and the reason, so there would be no recurrence. If, however, there was an ongoing thread by a regular member who said he bought this and that and you posted an alternative, that should be just fine. At least, I hope so.

So, which was it:? You being out of line, or the forum admins restricting discussion of products that compete with sponsors?

It was in regards to the Oracle side track lights. Somebody posted that they didnt really like how big they were and would like to have something with just a turn signal that looked more OEM. I responded to that post and let the person know that there was just such a product and that it was much cheaper. I posted a screen shot of the item that I had just purchased that fit his need. The post was removed with no notification to me. I checked the thread a couple of months later and noticed that my post was gone. I reposted it and it was removed immediately. I dm'd admin to question this and received a response that my post was off topic. It was at this point that I became aggravated because there are multiple thread hijackings across this forum that still remain in tact and it appeared the sponsored thread was being given special treatment.

Speaking of - here is the installed vent turn signals. They were easy to install and work really well

Mine had that horrible glare, as well, but the Tazer update turns off the tag lights now, when in reverse to keep from that horrible glare.

Wait....that's possible? Now I'm going to have to look in to the Tazer options...(Jeep if you are listening, that would possibly be a VERY WELCOME addition to the next Connect Update). I HATE that backup glare....

Installed the Cascadia4x4 VSS hood solar panel setup...

Will see how it performs next time I get it out in the sun.

That's cool. I wonder if it will fit on a Mojave?

Yep, sure does. Check it out. And all the other features the Tazer JL Mini has is worth every penny...Like button memory for the ESS (if you turn ESS off, it stays that way until you manually turn it back on again), Auto-Park disable (if your seatbelt is clicked), high beams w/ fog lights, tire size adjustment, TPMS on/off, TPMS sensors level adjustment, etc...

That’s really cool, but doesn’t parking it in a garage kind of defeat the purpose of having it?

It's not for day-to-day. I have a 12V fridge, water pump and other overlanding power-hungry things; it will come in handy when we are on a camping/overlanding trip away from electrical and at camp for multiple days without moving.

That will definitely be a handy item for camping, over landing, beach trips, football tailgating, etc... If they made a roof-top mounted version for the back of the hard top, I’d consider getting one for mine. Then again, mine is a dark color, so it really wouldn’t look out of place on the hood...

How thick is the panel?

About 4mm thick. I wanted a black hood vinyl to block out glare initially. This came along and fit both purposes so it does not look out of place at all. My rig is purpose built over anything else.

About a month ago I put on the skyjacker 4.5 lift with procomp 37” M/T xterems along with side steps. Today I installed the Pulsar programmer!

Looks good. I wanna go to 37s eventually on my 3.5" lift. My 35s look tiny. Can you get away with 38's on a stock axle?

Got my lights that Loyo was sending me for my Jeep and I'm pretty pleased with them. The look solid and come plug and play with a wiring harness. I pre ran the switch through the firewall and stuck the lights on to see what they look like. Can't wait to get them wired up, want be today. Super happy

 

[OneTraveler]

Yep, sure does. Check it out

I've been avoiding the Tazer Mods (no real reason, just didn't have pressing needs)...however the more I'm reading, the more I'm leaning that way. Couldn't find confirmation, do you know if the tag lights off in reverse was a "live" feature or a programmed feature? (IE, remove Tazer after programming or must leave in?)
