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

Now... that Edelbrock comment is one I am very interested in!

I went with Edelbrock on my JKURX and am looking at the Magnusson while waiting to see what Edelbrock is going to do with the Glladiator.

I went with the Hamburger and have regretted it since the install. I should have just bit the bullet and done the Hemi-swap up front.

Both!
Curious about the new compact antenna too...

Damage was just a small paint gouge down to the metal. A little touch-up paint and some XPEL film to protect it going forward and you can't even see it under the new bracket. I'll get some shots of the compactenna a bit later. Performance is good enough but I'm thinking the curvature of the hood is preventing it from working to its full potential... it's designed (per its inventor) to be a corner or edge mounted antenna but it's also sitting mostly below its ground plane. I need to do some testing vs my 1/4 wave flexible stubby and 5/8 wave that I leave on when I'm not off road and I might just end up shelving it until we get my wife her XJ or Xterra where it is likely to work better.

Finally received my 6 ft Lightning Paracable today, so I installed the one in the console and ran it under the center console and up through the dash cut-out. I was able to use the same exact hole I drilled out for the USB-C cable without having to make it larger! Because the lightning connector is smaller in size that the USB-C, it fit even with the thick Paracable cord, so that was awesome. I sort of tested the length before drilling in the console storage area, and I knew it was going to be close, but after I got it installed, it is literally inch-perfect. Meaning, if I had to make even one more bend it wouldn't have worked. I could have moved my phone holder across the rail, but I am glad it worked exactly where I had placed it because it feels like the perfect placement for it without blocking the vent and leaving room for my iPad.

Nice set up, what offset and spacing are those method wheels?

Thanks! 0 offset 4.75” backspace. They stick out a little further than I was thinking but it’s not too bad.

Where did you get this at? Are they a decal or a replacement for the factory one?

Looks great.

Etsy...sdinc decals is the store I think. They're just decal overlays but dress them up nicely.

Installed the American Adventure Lab Dual Arb Mount... made a mount out of 1”x5/8” aluminum bar since I don’t have the trail rail system. I think it came out pretty clean. Waiting on wire to finish the install.
