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

[Alans17]

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?

OR do You actually mean you put antenna inside??

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

Added front camera to my Stinger, and replaced the AM/FM antenna.

Built a top rack for my RSI cap. Crossbars are 1x2 extruded aluminum and side bars are 1/4" x 2" aluminum bar. I cut the slots on my router table with a 1/4" spiral upcut bit in small depth increments until the holes were through.

Yes cover closes no problem, it’s the Best top twill cover.

Finally got around to getting my winch installed!

I installed a set of these speakers in my dash and love them! So much cleaner sound from them than the stock ones. I only did the dash set.
