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

[Tapiaroi]

Installed D&C Designs side marker lights.
Not a lot of info out there about them so I did a little write up that can be found here:

Where did you get the Rigid side-shooters brackets ?

Was looking at ways to mount mine as well, also ordered with the code from that thread. What did you use to clamp around the adjuster bar?

@JRobes

The mounts I used were some old parts I had for years and never found a use for until now.

Look for 1/2" ID two-piece clamping collars, and use some vinyl tape of rubber hose to keep the clamp from rotating on the seat adjuster lever.

An example:

Nothing major. Black silicon frame (with flag design) and black hardware.

Got the idea from other members on sprucing up the 2x6 divider so had it line x’d & threw on my tailgate letters that were replaced with Hauk gladiator

Your other option to address the tag light glare is a pretty cheap solution. Look up "Lamin-x 148C Charcoal 4" x 8" Universal Film Cover Sheet" on Amazon. It's a small sheet of tint film. I saw a write up a while back where someone went through a lot of trouble to cut pieces to fit the tag lights. I ended up applying mine when I swapped my bumper. I found pulling the lights, fitting the film, then popping them back in made tucked the tint behind the light bezel and made for a cleaner look. The tint made all the difference in the world in the backup camera, but still lights the plate well at night.

i second this fix. i went with an 8”x”8 sheet so i could have plenty of extra film for my trial and error system, aka not taking the bumper off and pulling the lights out. i got a rough outline then made a dozen or so cuts until i had them close to the exact shape as the lens. no more glare, this forum once again doesnt dissapoint.

I ordered the KC Hilites 7318 A-Pillar Black light mount brackets from Amazon. I recommend them over the cheaper non brand ones. I’ve purchased both. The ~ $20 versions, I regret purchasing. The KC are built solid and line up perfectly. They are more expensive, but I would purchase them again. You get what you pay for.

Looks great. Now just get pixeldecals to make you some black and red light covers

I was thinking about it too, but not sure if it would be to much red. Might try it and if i don't like it just take the decals off. Ill send a pic if I get them done.
