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

[johnparjr]

Even though I have the Premium Audio I know they just have the crappy speakers so I replaced them like I did on my JL and all is good for me

And I have posted before that these are plug and play and sound great.

Finally completed my build...

Installed the 2” mopar lift, added terraflex 1.5” front spacers and daystar 0.75” spacers on the rear for 3.5”/2.75” of lift. Also added the ram airlift airbags to the rear for when the RTT is on and the bed full of overlanding gear.

How does it drive with this setup? I'm looking to add the same spacers to the mopar lift due to steel bumper, winch, decked bed storage and eventually an RSI smartcap. I have read alot of people adding front lower control arms or relocation brackets to correct caster but is it necessary?

Been busy lately!
1) Got 12V outlets added to the bed. Ran it off one of the Aux switches on the dash. Still added a relay to be safe even though there are relays in the circuits already. Also added one under the dash on the passenger side as well since the trailer brake controller left no 12V outlet in the interior.
2) Got the ARB air compressor tucked away and installed on the firewall. You can't even tell it's there except for the relay, fuse, remote air filter and the quick connect in the fender well.
3) RokBlokz installed front and rear.
4) Mopar hard tri-fold tonneau cover installed.
5) Lastly, it got the Road Armor running boards/rock rails installed. I really like these so far.

Thanks man. Much appreciated. I try really hard to keep things looking OE.
I fabricated the brackets for the 12V under the dash, ARB quick connect and the ARB air filter out of left overs I had sitting around.

Wrapped the rear end, not easy in freezing temps!

Now looking at rear bumpers, was looking at the Rugged Ridge HD, unfortunately you have to remove the OEM sliders. The Fab Fours is catching my eye, but not the price tag ?

Damn nice install on the onboard air. What’s the thing mounted to the top of the battery? I having trouble figuring out where you mounted everything related to it. IM is fine if you prefer. Thanks!

Installed my sunrider for hardtop. Those z clips sucks but I managed to get them in. Thanks @Bestop. I was an early adopter for the jk, and after a couple of months of not having the convenience, I decided it’s time.

Got my Diamondback HD today. This cover is built like a tank! Not a cheap purchase, but will be very handy.

Thanks! Appreciate it.

The Demco Air Force One is an air controlled braking system for when the JT is being towed behind our motorhome. It's unrelated to any of the recent stuff.

I having trouble figuring out where you mounted everything related to it. Thanks!

-> I used a Way A Life mounting bracket for the compressor.
-> The remote air filter is mounted to the bracket for the PCM. I used an existing hole and added one more.
-> The relay and fuse are mounted in the back of the engine compartment using the mounting bracket for the aftermarket Mopar Aux Switch relay box. If your Aux switches are factory then you'll need to get creative.

Installed the Hot Heads Headliner

Is it best to install with hard top off or can one do it with hard top installed on Jeep?

I installed mine easily with the hard top still on.

i did mine on, where i loosened the bolts then hockey pucked the front up a little to make getting over the roll bar easier.

Installed rusty’s off-road lower control arm skid plates. Hopefully this will finally keep those things from getting so beat up on the trail.

I was installing rear control arms and thought I would do these at the same time - I did not have the patience to finagle those little bolts and nuts into place - they were a pain. I put it all back in the box for another day. Any tips? I figured I would go back at it again when it is the only task at hand.
