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

[KurtP]

Yes please if your so kind! Especially what is advisable for those of us with zero tuning knowledge, what to avoid or look for in products or any recommendations for simple upgrades or what can we do to make the most of an intake and exhaust.

Ok. Lemme see what i can do.

... installed a Badlands Apex 12000 winch (everything but the wiring to the battery as my interrupt kit is still in the hands of Amazon delivery), and installed the full Hothead Headliner kit. The first one makes the girl wallow a bit when turning, the second made my commute much quieter and warmer.

No joke, love this headliner kit.

@doc-ketamine

I have that kit, lol. I was referring to the winch wire connection

Oops. I got the “WARN 62132 Power Interrupt Kit with Battery Lead, Hardware, Solenoid, Switch and Wiring“. Not sure if I can link to Amazon. Adding a 500A fuse on the battery side.

Dropped it off before I go on a mini vacation. AEV dualsport 2.5” lift and a teraflex front track bar will be installed over the next two days. Everything will be complete and I pick it up after my flight home. Pretty stoked!

Looks awesome! Spacer lift? Do you have side pics?

What bed rack is that?

Fab Fours. I think it looks pretty good (definitely not typical), but not as practical as the “typical” racks. A lot less real estate to hang stuff on. I had to gin up the Rotopax moonts myself because there’s really no good place for them on the as-is rack. Other than that, it’s been great. It’s taller than most, but we had our RTT on top for a 5k mile trip out to CO and up to ND, over several of the high-pass trails thru the Rockies and never a problem with balance (we did have a LOT of gear in the bed as ballast...).

installed the teraflex 1" spacer in the front. Didn't use the extra 1/2" spacer, Measured 18 1/2" from ground to rock slider in the front and 19" in the back so it kept a bit of rake, which is what i wanted.

Took off my fender flares, mounted side panel and put trailer brake on it, used curt adapter to tekonsha P3. Mounted 2 rigid flood lights in bed to light up cargo and decked drawers.

Used CenteraK side mount. First package arrived empty. Chance immediately sent a replacement out. Great service.

Love your Rotopax mount system!

Been thinking a lot about bed lighting, and have been considering using KC Cyclones on magnets, like I did for my rock lights, but haven't checked yet if they would fit inside the Fab Fours cross brace channels.

Looks like you mounted one of your Rigid floods inside the rear cross brace, right? Is it completely inside the channel? How much interference with the light throw down into the bed?

What lights did you mount on the top of your rack? Also been looking for low-profile pod for the same location.

Which Rigids did you use in the cube slots on your rack? I like the finished look of the plate on the outside.

Thanks I got the parts list for pax mount from McMaster from a other post by a fellow member that was smarter than me haha...

I have a bunch of the rigid a series that I was going to use, but then I had the SR floods that I wasn’t using. The front one is mounted to cross panel. The rearward in the channel tucks just inside. No blocking of light at all.

The front facing are rigid 6” hyperspot ambers with rigid mounts. Side lights are rigid scene lights flush mounted with the angle mount adapters from rigid. The rear most are red rigid d3 pods. Just in case someone can’t see my brake lights or I need emergency lights. I’m hooking my ambers and reds to a strobe switch.

The picture with lighting is 1 of 4 scene lights with just a 9v battery to test. Super bright. Attached pics of the mounts from the side to see better. I did have to drill holes for the flush mount but the square cut out was just right.

Also have a 40” rigid amber spot/flood combo to mount on rack too. Waiting for a dry day to do it.

Put on some new wheels that I picked up for cheap.

Excellent. Definitely helps me range-in on my target. Thanks much!

Finally got that fire extinguisher out from under the driver's seat and on to the roll bar. Extinguisher mount was a little short of the existing hole pattern, so used a make up plate. Nylon spacers to shim the plate away from the plastic trim and firm things up.

Ok folks. Its up
