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

[TheHops]

Not today, but my most recent mod:

I installed my over-the-cab roof rack to go with the one I currently have over the camper shell. It's the Frontrunner Extreme rack system (the rear rack is a universal Slimline II canopy rack). I also implemented v1.0 of the 200 watt slide-out solar panel system that I put together that mounts beneath the rack and slides out in a drawer-like fashion.



Feel free to check out the video if interested. It goes over the unboxing, install and initial impressions of the setup. Like/subscribe yada yada if Gladiator/adventure stuff on youtube is your kind of thing. More videos to come!

I have missed adding a few updates, but I’ll catch up.... last week I bought a @Max Modular Steel 18-inch rack from a fellow forum member. It had 4 Baja Design S2 Sport light mounted on it. I just ordered the needed wiring harness for the lights (Covid delayed). In the mean time, I mounted a Yakima MegaWarrior basket to the rack. The fit is great, used all the original hardware and was able to use the factory locks. Turns out these baskets are part of a Toyota 4Runner package. Bought one from a local guy that was included with his new 4Runner. Was able to remount my tonneau cover today. I have a bit more sealing work to ensure it is waterproof (probably 90% right now). A friend of mince gave me a set of replica ‘47 hood ornaments that fit perfect on the rack.

I added tint to my taillights and license plate lights. The taillight sides at one layer of 35% and the rear is 2 layers of 35%.

Had to take off my fab fours rack to get my leaky back window on my launch edition replaced ?. Ridiculous that removing it was not covered as part of the replacement in my opinion. If it wasn’t leaking, it wouldn’t need to be removed. Seems related lol. Also that thing is heavy as crap lifting alone. Jeep looks so naked now.

Hoping to get my flares on this weekend.

What flares are you going with?

Just please don’t end up looking like this monstrosity I saw last year...

Update to the JCR bed front molle panel. I slid the panel up to the top of its adjustment and used two upper holes on the panel for the hi-lift mount instead of the typical ones. With the higher hi-lift mount, my generic amazon traction boards fit under nice and snug. Taking the bottom plate off of the hi-lift and keeping it in my "off-road tote," i cut it down from 60" to 54" instead of having to go down to 48". The higher hi-lift mount also allows the mechanicals to move farther over the fender and out of the way. Love this JCR panel

Installed some pre-runner lights.

I went with the bushwhacker flats. I had the rivet ones on my old Silverado truck. Totally different experience. Almost none of the bolt holes lined up for anything. Took forever to install but they fit ok now and gave a lot of clearance vs the factory.

Overall, I’d probably buy something different next time. I like these well enough to leave them on though lol.

 

[Bumble-Ski]

Installed AEV 7000 Lights.

Sean, did you route these to AUX? if so, how did you trim harness? it seems a bit complex. Thank you!

Let it idle in the garage for a few minutes. Got a lease I’m returning soon so I’m keeping the JT out of the salt for its first winter.

Not today but Thursday had a set of used 37 12.5 17 Goodyear MTRs mounted to make sure 37's would be something I want to do before dropping $1400-$1600 on some new 37's. Paid $550 total mounted and Balanced. Lovin the look

I messed around with it in some deep snow in my backyard on a pretty high incline trying to see what it had. I ended up burning my clutch a little and coming and Inch from hitting a tree but I ended up getting an awesome pic afterwords.

Added 12v socket and usb ports to the rear of my center console. Also swapped out my 5” stereo with a take off 7” stereo.
