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

[RedDevil17]

Looks great! Did it reduce sound as expected? I'm ordering a set next week from Hot Headz ... did you install without removing the top?

There is a sound reduction but not huge. Still better than without. I'm looking forward to the heat reduction as well. We were in the lower 80s today and I felt no heat on my head.

I took everything off to install. I didn't want to worry about the dust from scuffing the roof and it gave me a chance to actually go through the steps of taking the top off. I bought a mover rug from Harbor Freight to rest everything on.

Took it to the bike park. Had a blast, but one buddy didn’t fare so well.

Ouch. That’s worse than a break!

The heat is a big factor for me In Daytona FL. Good to hear that feedback. I am going to do the same and remove the top for install .. Much appricaieted ..

Nuff said. Spot on. Just ordered mine and my wife’s.

Zoomed in on the CMM mirrors. Worth every penny. Was the second “mod” I did a year ago. I store them in the under seat storage. The convex mirrors give you pretty good sight but still need to check the blind spots before merging. I also like that they don’t stick out very far from the door frame.

Love the tube doors. I can’t wait for the half doors to come out...despite i know theyre going to cost $1,500+ ?

Got my custom built Jeep Gladiator last Thursday and spent the last 4 days playing! Added some blue nob covers on the dials on the dash, Bartact seat covers on the front and back seats, black hinge covers on all the doors, and the EVO SmartCap went on yesterday! The next thing to do is install the brake controller -- and maybe get the AMP Research Powerstep? Gotta plan that part in advance for the lift and new tires next year!

I’d like to see some pictures from the side. Great looking truck!

Here you go shackleton! Others I took yesterday

Installed my Mopar Tonneau last night.
I’m happy with how it looks. Very clean.
Also added some Jeep slush mats.

What is the benefit of mounting the mirror high on the handle vs low/more conventional? I know you could do either.

Mounts on the side rails so tonneau won’t fit (which is why mine is on the marketplace now)

If you mean the rack, it isn't listed yet. Maximus says probably next week. Otherwise, you can email [email protected] and get on the list. They just sent me an invoice via email.

Very nice! How was the install on those seat covers? I was leaning PRP but Bartact actually makes an olive drab that would better match my sarge green.

Bartact has some great colors!
So two thing about the install - first- they are TIGHT. Like, made for the jeep seats, TIGHT. I was EXHAUSTED after installing these -- but that's great, though, right? Because you want them to be made for the seats and fit perfectly. And that they do. The headrest covers were more of a pain to put on than the front seats, amazingly enough.
Second thing -- if you get the backseat covers, you'll need to remove the middle seatbelt from the bottom FIRST. Then feed the seatbelt through the seatbelt slot on the cover, then install the cover, THEN put the seatbelt back on. That makes the install a little more of a pain in the ass, but again, they are SUPER custom fit to these seats. And the MOLLE panels on the back are money. Love them.
The colors are sharp. Super spot on for color matching.

They were backordered everywhere I wanted to buy them - the best pricing I found was on 4wheelsparts - but they had like an 8 week wait time for front seat covers. I ended up ordering the backseat covers from 4wheelsparts and got them in a few weeks. I ordered the front seat covers from Northridge 4x4 and those came SUPER fast in 2 weeks, too.

All in all, yes, I absolutely recommend them. And be ready to count it as "arm day" ?
