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

Today I added an ARB compressor. I mounted it behind the back seat (drivers side) with an 813 Fabricator bracket. Added a 2 way air hose splitter so I can run an air line to each side for easy air ups. Connected power through the auxiliary 4 switch. Works great!

I'm still debating where I want to mount mine. I've seen along the fire wall next to the front tire, under the hood and various spots inside the cab. I'm leaning toward under the hood. I do like how you have yours behind the rear seat, it put the compressor in the middle of the rig which is ideal. Nice work with the install.

I debated the same question. Couldn’t be happier with my choice.

Past couple days I have Gotten some Rugged Ridge door sill protectors, a voswitch dash phone mount, a waterport pressurized water tank, and a viair air compressor.

Oh, and got a piece of felt for the dash so I can put up my morale patches.

@JWest , Are you able to roll up the tonneau cover with the rack in place?

I am. But it’s realistic a 2 person job. But it can be done.

Installed a 2g rotopax water canister to match the 2g fuel canister...

Oh, and also moved to Evergreen, CO.

Picked up my 2021 Max Tow Gladiator on Thursday night so spent today doing sill guards, led headlightbulbs and fogs, tonneau cover and dog hammock...also a beautiful day so top and doors had to come off...

I’ve had two pod lights sitting in my garage for the past 4 years. I meant to put them on my 4unner but never did.

The gladiator makes it so much easier to add things to it. I added these to the front bumper and wired them up to auxiliary switch 3. Makes me want to do more...

Nice sill protectors .. what kind?

Rugged Ridge. I wanted ones that protected the entire sill, not just the flat parts. So far so good! I think I had to buy them directly as I am unable to find them in my Amazon purchase history.

I got the idea from another forum member.

I installed the RK 3.0 no limits lift and then took her down to get 37s installed replacing the 35s and 3” mopar lift the dealer installed. Gears are coming on the 30th.

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.

I picked up a Mini 3. Looking at hardwiring it so I also picked up the hardwire kit. Looking at their wiring diagram, I assume you used the ground and the yellow (positive). Can you confirm?

I am planning to wire to the interior wiring under the glove box. Debating whether to wire to the battery or the ignition (Or both).....

Fitted the Mopar "Performance" rock rails (part no. 82215606) on my Mojave this evening, replacing the rubicon rails. "Coldest" day here in Austin since April so that was my motivation to get it done now.
Did it to give my kid and wife a small step to help climb in, I like it as it doesn't get in my way for getting out as normal, I'm tall and lanky. Fits perfect.

Using my harbor freight Hydraulic Table Cart to get it safely in place, kinda heavy but I also didn't want to scratch the paint - so slow and steady. (I used to use this table to remove the spare wheel on my JKU, have to watch my back which isn't what it used to be)

This is the one and only regret. I wish I had known about these before purchasing the Rubicon rails. Anyone have a set they want to sell?

I had to use both the yellow and red (as well as ground). I tried each one individually, but the camera didn't power on until I tied both together. I only wanted it to power on with the ignition, but both wires needed power with the ignition on. So far, I haven't had any issues with it. I didn't use the fuse taps. I used the Quadratec harness, which already had a 10 amp fuse in the harness. If you're looking to keep power to the camera all the time, you will have to find a separate 12 volt source (like battery) and will need a fuse (like the fuse tabs in your diagram) for protection. Here's what it looks like behind the glove box:

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
