I actually like the red dash, swapped out the grey

Thank. Clean work.
Is that a SmittyBilt panel or something you found?

Thank you! It's actually the foot plate that came with it. I just did a little modification to it so I can make it work with the rail system.

Swapped out my JCR bedrack for one from Road Armor. Still need to mount my lights and hang the spare under the rack.

If you don’t mind me asking but where did you get the Gladiator decal? Is it raised lettering?

Snagged some Rubicon Rock Rails and installed them. Covers up the pinch weld for a nice clean look.

I have a set sitting in my garage. Anything for me to watch for ? Any tricks that might help for installation?

I installed a dead pedal. The cheapest and maybe the most useful accessory I've installed.

Took the truck to get paint correction, ceramic coating, ceramic tint. Also had them tint out the front side reflectors and the rear reflectors on the bumper. Also ordered some matte black over lays for the Jeep emblems. When they did the paint correction I also had them put a protective film over the front. Long story short I ended up removing the rubicon decals. Not sure if I love it or not. Thoughts?

I am only volunteering a personal opinion because you asked - I think without the Rubicon decals it needs a dash or splash of color. I love black trucks, but think it needs something to break up the canvas a bit.

Opinions may vary.

Pretty straight forward honestly. I used a motorcycle Jack to get the rails close to the mounting location. Didn’t have a second set of hands today. Get the studs through the pinch weld and start a couple nuts to hold them up. I put all of the hardware on loosely to make sure it all lined up and tightened everything down. It was like they were factory parts made for the Gladiator!

I used the below install details to make sure orientation was correct. Good luck!

Replaced the stock halogens with Morimoto XB LED turn signals. Little man helping me out today.

Then finished the Ebay Mopar Steel bumper knockoff modification and install. What a pain. Trying to get it on to a Mojave was an experience. Lots of cutting, but its on... Now just gotta get the winch installed. Waiting until I have the grill rhino lined later this week .

Looks like Hauk off-road on a custom wrap iirc from reading his posts.
mines from Hauk. Yes they are about .125” raised. $70 is an expensive for looks only add on.

Installed a full vault in the center console. Simple install. Extremely well made. Key or combination lock. Not just a locking cover. Consumer service was Phenomenal and the Veteran owned.

Full write up on the Jeep coming soon.

I've been looking at a console vault myself lately. My biggest question is if the vault actually bolts into the center console, the Jeep frame, or if it can be lifted out in one piece. Naturally, bolting it in is a safer option but wanted to make sure before buying.

Hauk Off-road makes the Gladiator emblem and yes it is raised.

It’s one piece and and fits in perfectly. It’s a complete vault. It screws down right into the floor of the console

Clever and well done. I have a BuiltRight Molle Panel ordered for the same effort.
