[skubyact]

Mounted my Roofnest. Took it to Western Carolina and Tennessee for a long weekend with some friends. Enjoyed every minute.

Nice!!

Thank you.
I found them online. They're literally just plastic outlines that fit perfectly over the perimeter of the factory speakers. I dig the look.

Where did you find them?

I shrinked wrapped my antenna with black shrink wrap and put a red screw protector on top.

I bought a different antenna just because I didn't like the silver, wish I would have thought of that... Genius...

I can’t take credit for this idea (I think somebody on this thread came up with it), but the poor-man’s trail rail is already in my top 5 favorite amazon upgrades.
Note: DO NOT use amazon fasteners. The ones I got would barely qualify as threaded hole plugs.

Tie-downs:
Fasteners: m6x25mm

I bought and installed the trail rail as my first mod but probably would’ve done this had I thought of it. I’m not a big fan of tightening and untightening and then sliding the tie downs for the trail rail. I’m sure there are a bunch more options and accessories that I can incorporate but I’ll likely just use it for strapping things into the truck for transport

Here you go

Looks awesome

I’m thinking of getting the same set of lights, just worried about how much it interferes with the front trail cam. Would you happen to have a picture of your trail cam view?

Yeah, it does interfere quite a bit, and I'm not stoked about that part. I'm going to try to think of some alternatives, but other than replacing with a taller bull bar so I can mount them to the bumper, I'm not seeing many.

Thank you for that shot.
Going to have to rethink where I’m going to mount mines when I get them, cause I do use the trail cam when I’m wheeling.

Yeah same here, hence why I'm looking for alternative mounting. It's nice to have the camera on while navigating through the rocks.

Scored a free EAG bumper today. I need to get new brackets for the fog lights. Did I mention it was free? I love my local 4x4 club!

Is that the Rebel half rack? Pretty sweet setup man. How do you like your roof nest? I've been eyeing iKamper and roofnest.

The rack is a Voodoo Max-modular 10”. Super nice rack. I went with the 10” so I can still park in my garage with the rtt mounted. Luv the Roofnest. The bed size and closed height were important factors. The iKampers are equally as nice.

First, I’ve never said this to another man but “nice rack”. Love the set up on the Gladiator and the way you stored the RoofNest in the garage. The Gladiator cabinet looks good too.

Yes several people have commented on my “Rack”. Makes me blush. The Gladiator cabinet was my first Gladiator. Enjoying both types.

I finally found a class IV receiver at Summit Racing’s website and installed it (these should be on every Gladiator, there isn’t much different between it and the class II). Also installed a Rubicon takeoff steel bumper and sill box guards and brackets. I found the bumper and sill box guards and brackets for $150 on Facebook marketplace . Also installed Carter Fab & Machine’s bracket in place of the reflectors and added Rigid Dually flood lights. Now I’ve got to find an Aux switch kit. Those, the bumpers and the receiver are like trying to find a unicorn!
