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

[mx5red]

I almost finished my rear deck project. 1515L T slot extrusion, decked with 12mm Baltic Birch plywood that is Raptor Lined. Lashing points swivel and are mounted into the extrusion.

What exactly do you have going on back there?
Does the cover move?
What is that box/connections, a battery box?

Flew from TX to MN yesterday to pick up our JT! Drove back yesterday/today over 1000 miles. Installed the Tazer Mini in the parking lot.

No, it's a deck, it is immobile. The box is a 17 gallon auxiliary fuel tank

For the antenna mount, I used this one:

I mounted the main unit under the carpet along the transmission tunnel.

Did you drill into your hood like in the RR photo? I couldn’t see that in your photo.

Took the top off for the first time and drove along Foothills Parkway in the Smokys in beautiful 70 degree weather. I still have a smile on my face.

After we got back installed the Hothead Headliners. Great fitment, easy directions, and love the look and functionality.

Added some Rokblokz mud flaps in anticipation for the coming winter slush.

Can I ask what tire those are? Size? Lift?

No there is nothing to drill. It goes under the bolt for the cowl trim panel.

Could you tell me which size you chose for your flaps?

They are Firestone Mt2 285/70r17. No lift

 

[MASS_JT]

They are the standard size flaps. I’ll have these tires until I run them down. They cover them perfectly. When I go with bigger tires in the future I’ll order the XL size for the front and slide the rear ones out (the rears are adjusted all the way in currently).

 

[Erievon]

Haven’t seen those, aren’t too many rears with integrated steps!

RE: Reaper Off Road Bumpers....They are local to me, if you've ever heard of Stainless Works exhaust...same company, this is their off road spin off company. If their bumpers are as good as their exhaust work I expect the quality to be primo.

Hey
Question... I am trying the same set up piece for antenna. Also Black JTRLE like yours I think
but
when I take the short 1/2" screw out of cowl. the provided longer 2"? screw does not work slips right in . its smaller diameter.? What did you use?

 

[LancGladiatorGuy]

Thanks...I figured as much...just never know with Amazon listings

I had that antenna on my JLU, it wasn’t great for terrestrial radio especially AM. I live in a relatively suburban/rural area so there’s not much interference. Just an FYI.

Added badges from our trip.

Soooo, I had to grab my old phone to take the badges picture, to post a picture. I got a new phone that won't let me post pics on here. The jpeg are too large of file to post, and the HEIF are not allowed on here. I've tried many different combinations to get the size needed, unsuccessfully.
