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

[brain]

Tuesday I mount my "Mojave special" 2.5" lift and these 37" NITTO Ridge Grapplers.

Installed the Oracle Sidetrack lights this afternoon, well at least the turn signal function. You have to be a small contortionist in order to hook up the wires in the footwell. Overall, it’s a decent concept with a more difficult install than it should have been. I don’t feel that the adhesive will stick for very long especially since it doesn’t touch the body all the way around.

Looks good.

I wonder if there is a hood decal for the Mojave hood, I get a good bit of glare off it when the sun hits it from a certain angle.

Check Etsy, there’s a shop on there that makes them for the Rubicon hood.

I mounted a multiple outlet strip in the back seat for a few chargers and my refridg when I'm wheeling. The 110 outlet is better for me than the switched 12v or USB outlets but there is only one so now there are 6! Velcroed to the front of the under seat bin wall.

I had the dubious honor of installing the Passive Entry mod. today. I got one side done; I'd've gotten both sides if it hadn't been for a couple of broken bolts.

Teraflex Nomads? Any photos from head-on/rear? I'd like to see the offset on them and how much they stick out. Thanks!

Got a lot of stuff done recently:
1) Wheels

Got it LineXd yesterday and did my first offial mod today - new antenna. Also put together the DIY unistrut rails and cross bars this evening (still need paint). Ready to take the MTB out tomorrow am.

Nice! What did you use for the cross bars and rail brackets? I'm looking to build a similar setup.

Yep, they’re Nomads. Here’s some pics as requested. Hope this help.

I used another 10’ unistrut cut in half for the cross bars and 4 hole 90 degree unistrut brackets to attach to the bed rails. I added end caps so it looks pretty clean. Everything is from Lowe’s. I had to drill a new hole in the brackets so they would rest on the bracket and the bed. There’s a YouTube video that I copied and can’t find offhand, but will post the link if I can find it again.

Found the link: $28 Bed Rack

First mod. Got rid of that horrible stock antenna.

Awesome! Thank you. They look great. What size tire did you go with?

Those are the stock tires. Finance Dept (wifey) wouldn’t approve tires too. ?

Drove it home last night for the first time in a snow storm. The window defrosters and stock wipers are still a big let down like my 18 JL was but other than that it felt great.

My defroster is fine but the wiper blades suck...heated seats and steering wheel is fab.
