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

[Len]

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

I like the molle panels for the truck bed, I want those as well. It gives more options for mounting.

Not as sexy as the new A.R.E. Gladiator topper, but it was $3,300 less! Picked this up for $300 on Offerup. It was on a Tacoma, it just needed $60 of bed armor!

Will do...tomorrow when the sun comes out! It has a gap between it and the cab (about 3") but it doesn't bother me.

Installed side one of three (shipped with missing hardware) JCR molle bedside panels. Mounted my powertank to driver side which may change later. Waiting on JCR half height bed rack for my ROAM rooftop tent.

This looks like it eliminates the ability to use the “gladiator board” slot - is that correct?

First thing was ditch the stock exhaust. I went with a corsa sport 3.0" Cat-Back, Single with a dump. Sounds amazing especially when up shifting at higher RPM's.

AFE intake and exaust

Is that the first exhaust you have put on? I have a flowmaster exhaust, but still not super happy, interested to get your thoughts on the AFE.

You have my curiosity. Pics?

Missing hardware with JCR parts is a time honored tradition. Good ideas and competitive products but questionable QA practices. I have several products on order and hoping for an inspired effort both in terms of inspection and expedited delivery.

I don’t think I understand this reply lol are you saying it does block the vertical board slot?

First tire rotation. I didnt photo document because, well that seemed silly to me... retorqued lug nuts of course I was surprised at the torque spec....

Oh and I installed a net on my separator board in the bed for the wheel lug socket...

I too would like to know if the molle bed sides preclude the bed separatorboad as it appears they do. My board is handy and I'd like to keep it

Here's what I DIDN'T do today:
Get an alignment. No shop near me has the specs for a 2020 gladiator. Went to 3 places. That. Is. Bizarre.

Simply put: If you order things from JCR, they often arrive without pieces of hardware.

Added since last post:

• Ceramic Tint (all except windshield)
  • Kept it legal here in the South. Even though I'd probably never get checked, I usually have bad luck & would be "that guy" who gets pulled over & has to peel off the tint on the side of the road.

• Rugged Ridge Aluminum Hood Catches

• Diode Dynamics LED Side Markers

• WeatherTech Sunshade
  • https://www.weathertech.com/jeep/20...ndshield-sensor-jt/no/?OrderItemId=2113442222

I love the hood catches as they are very high quality aluminum and seems to have great durability as well as a certain rugged look to them vs the plastic from the factory. They do stick out a bit more than I would like from the hood guard, but it's no big deal.

As far as the WeatherTech sunshade....well worth the price! As you can see, it pretty much covers every inch of the windshield & stays in place. Very happy with the purchase so far. Even if it was a bit more than I wanted to spend on a sunshade.

Oh haha well that’s sort of problematic. But my question was whether this molle board bolts in such that it blocks that divot where a 2x4 would go to shorten the bed so stuff doesn’t rattle around in the back
