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

[Bulldog10]

I had already switched over to a Raydonair 13 inch antenna. I removed it from the outside and put it under the dash. I lost an FM station. I’m pretty sure the Sirius antenna is on top of the roll bar already. The one on the outside is AM/FM.

I'll buy your 13 in Raydonair if delivered to door!!

OR do You actually mean you put antenna inside??

Yeah it’s inside now. I tried taking it off, but reception was completely gone without an antenna. I’m going to take some photos for another member tomorrow who asked about it. I’ll post it up here for you guys.

Took my secondary battery out then reinstalled i because it would void my extended warranty.

Removed the 1 1/2” Teraflex front spacer and installed their 2 1/2” springs. I added the 1/2” spacer in the front and a 1/2” spacer in the rear. My JKS quick disconnects still work and the kit came with longer rear swaybar links and bumpstops on all corners. I also added Rusty’s shock extensions due to me still running the Rubicon shocks.

It gave me another 1 1/2” lift compared to just the front spacer. I’m waiting for the longer Mopar front lower control arms to add some caster but I really didn’t notice any difference in how it drives other than it seems smoother than before.

I also think the 34’s look good on this. I now have a 1/2” rake which is perfect

Got the @BillieBars on a few days ago. Definitely a high-quality product. The molle panels stick out further than I expected so I may still relocate them. Or perhaps remove the angle brackets that stand them off from the crossbars (though that would require drilling into them). But they’re not that bad when they’re not loaded down. And they provide a bit of tamper resistance to the soft tonneau cover - especially once the basket goes on.

*DISCLAIMER* This isn’t a knock on the product so much as a matter of personal preference.

The tonneau cover I picked (mostly because it was cheap) has a bit of an upward bow and it sits above the bed rails so there’s not a lot of clearance under the bars, but it does open / close completely if you do it methodically. Practice helps.

I’ve got a @JcrOffroad basket on order for the top of the bars, but it may not arrive for a while.

This is what relocating to the inside looks like. And there’s nothing stopping me from moving them back and forth as needed. Keeping them secure under the cover when I’m not needing them and then spending about 15 minutes to move them back to the outside when I’m headed out.

Are those the Ace Sliders?? I have a Rubicon and want something to work with the factory rails

how was the install?

Yes, sir: ACE Sliders. Highly recommended because I also wanted to keep the Rubicon sliders (which come on the Mojave). Install was easy, though stressful due to all the stories of broken bolts and welds. I believe because my truck was actually built less than six weeks ago I didn’t run into any issues (the bolts and loctite still being fresh; just a theory). I did use my impact driver to pull and push the bolts once my breaker bar had loosened them up.

Technically not all today. But got a Sport S a few weeks ago, and today I picked up Willys wheels/tires and rock sliders today. Last night installed the hooks so I could strap down the tires. Last week I installed Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X3C 3.5".
Settle but much better than the stock Sport S wheels.

That bed full of goodies looks like Santa's sleigh ?

how was the sound improvement? I have the premium speakers but noticed that they were a little hard to hear the other day while riding with the doors off.

Installed some aluminum gutter mesh and some trim edging on the AMP bed extender . I don’t run it regularly but when I need it I don’t have to worry about anything sliding underneath the bars.

Are you able to close your bed cover with that bed extender?

Did a write up. Hopefully it makes sense!

Installed my Rugged Ridge Venator bumper and Trekker 10k winch. Now I'm ready to get stuck, or help others... It also looks good I think!

I Believe that would be My Bumper of Choice
