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

[Moonridge]

Wait what breed is your little doggie

She is a Shih Tzu, her name is Sophia. Cena "Bubbas" isn't pictured here but he is Miniature Pinscher. Those are my kids, the doggos and the Jeep.

! I got to try out my Lange Coyote mirrors. Much better than the hinge mirrors I have used in the past. You just install the little black block and it stays there on the cowl. Then it's just a few turns of a hex wrench and you're good to go. The convex design shows you a wide area.

Do you have a picture from the driver’s seat? Do they retain alignment when you reinstall or do you need to readjust each time you mount them?

Upgraded the sound bar speakers with a mod I’d heard you guys talk about. It’s the upgraded speaker from a 2013 Dodge Dart lol.

Installation is literally seamless. Take old speaker out and plug new speaker in.

The sound difference is marginal...I’m hoping under certain conditions I’ll be able to tell (roof off windows down sort of thing) but I think it sounds better? Lol. Either way it was a fun 15 min project and it is definitely a nicer speaker than the trash I pulled out of there.

Did you have the base audio package in your JT? What audio pkg did the Dart have?

I don't have a picture from the driver's seat atm. Retaining adjustment will depend on how you store them. As long as you don't knock the mirror out of alignment it will be pretty easy to install at the same point again Might want to put a small mark on the block to line up with a small mark on the mirror shaft.

Wired up the Rigid diffused cubes to the rear bumper and installed an outlet in the bed with a plug for the ARB fridge, two USB and a voltmeter.

Did you already have an inverter? Or did you wire to an aux switch?
What power cable and plug set did you use?

Just wired to the battery using ~17’ of 10ga with a 15A fuse. Basic 4 socket panel. Primary use will be to power my ARB 63qt fridge.

Thanks!
Im finally going to get this together and do it.

Did that switch panel fit where the plastic square was easily? It kinda looks like you just pushed it in w/o screwing it in.

I have a similar panel and had to nibble out a few places for it to fit in. Be careful not to nibble out too much to avoid losing space for the mounting screws.

The Audio package in the Jeep doesn't matter the speakers are all the Same wether or not you have the Premium Audio or standard. The Dart speakers are made by Kicker and you can buy the ones for Jeep but they are more expensive since they say Jeep save a few bucks and buy these and they are plug and play.

Had to cut out room for the outlets. I didn’t use the mounting screws because I didn’t need to right now. I left enough material on theback side that the retainer rings sandwich the bed And the panel. If I ever get it bed lined I will likely drill for self tapping screws.

The premium Alpine Audio System uses 9 upgraded Alpine speakers and a sub. And a 552 watt, 12 channel amp, requiring the 220 amp alternator.

Added what Is and Will always be the most important part of my build... My Flag.

with your RokBlokz flaps, it looks like the front set is up against the Mopar performance rails, or do you have the hole cut out for it to fit ?

Finally was able to get this done....

what’s the model number of these speakers? And no mods needed? They are a direct fit? Sorry if this is an old topic, I tried to find it in the forums but couldn’t.
