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

[Tall Mike]

Extend My Seat brackets went in today.. They moved my driver seat back a pretty good amount..

Before I installed them my right knee was literally up against the lower part of the dash below the steering wheel..

IMO these are a must have for tall guys looking for more leg room.

Only draw back is the backseat directly behind me has virtually zero leg room.. No worries I have no intentions of ever riding in the backseat of my Jeep.

That is pretty dang neat! Is there much drag while driving with it like that?

Wondering the same thing..
That’s a really cool concept for people that need to haul stuff in their bed often and don’t want to commit to a rack.
That looks like it would create a ton of drag though!

Didn't know there was such a thing. Not that I need them, but where did you find them? Mind if I ask ... how tall?

Google search.....I knew such a thing existed for the TJ, I did a Google search, found this company making them for a bunch of different vehicles.. I have them in both the JK and JT they make huge difference.

I'm 6'8" with a 39 inch inseam.

Wouldn't it have been be easier to just remove the front seat and drive from the back?

Needed to do SOMETHING to the "Great White" so I had some scraps of 3M 1080 around so I blacked out the gas cover. I think it looks pretty cool. Any thoughts?

Great find! I can use an extra few inches of leg room.

Not a fan of the look but who gives a fart what I think? If you like it on your rig. I like it on your rig. Thats what makes it your rig right?

was that simply plug and play, then change to LED setting? Where did you get the lights?

Here's the parts numbers. No sensors on these. They could possibly plug and play, but I have a Tazer, so I just changed the settings for rear LED. A dealer can also flash it for the new LED taillights. I didn't check to see if they hyper-flashed before so cannot say with certainty that they are true plug and play without telling the computer.

And I thought I was tall at 6'5". Luckily the seat at its furthest back setting is enough for me. I'll bookmark this though for future reference.

Tyger tri-fold soft tonneau. Not bad for a cheap cover. $197 Amazon. Came with brackets that fit in the bed rail system, and a cheap storage bag.

I’ve had mine one for several months now. Can’t beat it for the money. It has never leaked.

Which one is that?

CURT 51170 Spectrum Original Equipment Style Electric Trailer Brake Controller

Installed wheel locks. I don't like McGard locks, as I've had issues with the keys breaking on those (when using within torque limits). I've always liked Gorilla (splined style). However, most were either too skinny or too tall. Then, I ran across these: Gorilla 96641DX, Chrome Factory Style Lock Set. They have a wider shape that closely resembles the OEM shape. It is slightly taller (about 1/8 inch), but I think they look pretty good. The site I bought them from states that it doesn't fit 2020 Gladiator, but they do.

Finished cleaning up the installation of a dash cam. I went with DDPAI Mini 3. I had a Mini 2 on my JK and really liked it. The Mini 2 was better (smaller and removable memory), but the Mini 3 had some other improvements (you can read on a major internet retailer's site). I wanted one that was small (no display) with a decent phone app to live view and download still pics and video clips. I bought their hardwire kit so I can tap directly into an ignition keyed 12 volt source.

I mounted it high center. Once the mount is in place (self adhesive tape), the camera unit can be removed or tilted up and down.

Here is what it looks like from the outside. Not too noticeable.

I routed the power cord under the plastic trim. Unlike the JK, I didn't have to remove the trim.

Then, the rest of the wiring was routed down the A-pillar, behind the glove box, and tied into a 12 volt harness (Quadratec 96080.9802).

It comes with a battery powered remote trigger button that you can stick anywhere on the dash. If you see something interesting, you press the button, and the camera will save a clip before and after the trigger (you can adjust the length, based on presets). Otherwise, it records constantly.

Here's a sample day time pic. Some of the blur was due to drizzle/water on the windshield (you can see water on the hood).

Here is one from night.
