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

[DaddyG]

I use these in my vehicles, less clanking and the security cable setup is the best I've seen.

I have too much gear stored in the bin, and it's easy to get to under the seat without impinging too much on footwell space.

Bummer for us that it's an issue, isn't it?

Its just good to know that there IS a solution (sort of) for those of us that carry

Why did you feel the need to start a new thread with the same title as an existing and hugely popular thread? BTW, I like the post just prefer you would have used a different subject/title or posted it in the other thread...

Added a Spiderwebshade. I went with Grey because I’m not sure if I want a contrast color or not yet and didn't want black. I just did the front because I don‘t expect to take the top off that much. hopefully it will keep a little heat off my bald head!

Bryan - can you leave that shade on with the panels in place? Say you want to pop them back on quick for an Iowa popcord storm? Or must the cover come off before putting the freedom panels back on?

My wife says the price is right - and wondering what when we have the full roof off, too.
(she asked about how it would mount with the doors off, I already explained "roll bars"-works with doors off or on.......)

Exactly. I used a good quality 6' cable - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JXXVP3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Previous posts mention that some cheap cables won't read from the console USB port. No problem with this one. I can snap some pics of where I routed it later tonight.

And I love the 67 Designs holder. Super solid. I've used RAM mounts in other vehicles but am a 67 convert. https://www.67d.com/collections/jl-...ns/products/jeep-jl-mount-driver-edition-pack

Very happy to hear a 6' will do the trick! I have some 6' Paracables in Graphite coming and was wondering if they would be long enough. If you can take some pics of how you ran it I would be grateful! Going to order the 67 Designs Rail system right now! LOL ... it looks really nice. Probably going to get their iPad Pro 11" 3D Printed holder too.

Works for me! Thanks.
My wife seems to be ok with it (as long as it's blue - the truck is blue) for the front portion. If we take the roof off there's no one in the back seat anyway. Most of the time it would be freedom panels out anyway.

Yeah, they have a ton of color options....I am boring and went with black. I also did the full size because I run no top all summer. I like it.....I will still buy a bikini top as soon as bestop has it out. The latches are tight to get to but all in all its really not bad.

Maybe I should get the full-sized version just in case, since you can leave it on as well from what I see.
No flapping in the wind with the roof off?

Gee, now a decision!

Installed Vector e-Dock, with GoPro and mount. ThinkWare U1000 Dash Cam(front and rear).

Cheers!

How did you end up mounting the rear camera? I have the same setup and am trying to figure out where to put the rear cam and still have the option to remove the hard top.

No its not bad at all. Id personally never go with just the front. If your ever running topless and have people with you....it would be handy. Definitely a preference thing though, if you don't think you'll take the entire top off or w/e you could save a little cash and go with the front only shade.

I just mounted the rear camera right on the inside top of the rear inside glass. Since I live in a condo and no place to store the hard top I don't go topless very often.. on the rare occasion when I do, I have resigned myself to the fact I don't have the recorded rear view.

I tried to mount the rear cam in a few other places but when I did, could not get a clear view of the traffic behind me and more importantly any license plate info I may need/want. At least with the hardtop on, I get good video/pics then.

The rear cable I fed up thru the velcro headliner that runs on the bottom of the hardtop back rail, that hides the hardtop bolts. So when the top comes off.. I just unplug the rear cam at the cam.

Cheers!

I probably should plan for the "maybe" of the future and not buy twice. I had wondered "what-if" visiting my son and his family in Florida........ they might enjoy a top-off ride along the beaches. It's a long 24 hours drive from here but could be fun. Top on going down, take it off when down there.
May never ever happen, but then I'm less likely to regret getting the full shade vs the front only.
