Just picked it up an hour ago. My original quote was $1550. He charged me $1490. Can’t complain about that. I’m going to list my original 4:10s. Not sure if they will sell or not.

Where did you go? I’m in EDH.

River City Differentials. They are not too far from you. Right near 50 and sunrise.

Nice, thanks.

Nice, thanks.

No problem. They were great. Got it done in just a few hours. They have a fantastic google and Yelp rating.

Another place quoted me $2500. Told me they needed some special shim or bracket for the gladiator. I told them it was the same as a JL. He said it wasn’t. I moved on.

Thanks

Installed Rusty’s LCA skids and had a really hard time getting the control arm bolts back through. I thought about this before I started but nobody seemed to mention having any difficulty
Eventually I jacked up the front of the diff to tilt it up and push the LCA forward a smidge.
Oh, and for me there was no way the holes would line up. I had to enlarge the forward bolt hole as many others.

Got my front windows tinted to match the back.

Can I ask which % tint? Does it match well with the stock back?

I did 15 on mine to match

The guy put 20% on to match. Hopefully don’t get ticket. Legal here is 35. Matches perfectly so don’t think it will be big deal

This week I did some more small things.... added a 2nd rear tow hook (with factory cut out) and then painted the hooks front and rear. Then a 4 wheel drive decal and a black raised "OVERLAND" emblem.

I also made a small bar (out of some old motorcycle exhaust pipe bends we had laying around) to mount some lights on the front for my factory Overland bumper.

I really want these, but I guess really I want a set that fits.

Punk'n, looks great!! Do you have the factory part number for the cut out? Thanks...

Thanks. I'm happy with it.

I used the part #'s that forum member DHP listed in this thread:

I agree, it’s irritating having to fit all these parts that are supposed to be bolt on... but there’s nothing else like these on the market. Tbh opening the holes wasn’t too terrible, I hated lining up the LCA bolts though!
