I liked your post, but I don't like that at all. But, the windshield is so vertical, it's liable to catch more rocks than deflect them off. Nature of the beast I guess, it's very...well....Jeep.

True, but these windshields are very delicate. Jeep should have learned from previous Wranglers and designed them to be stronger. Mine was a $900+ experience. We are paying dearly for these and the life expectancy is the shortest I have ever seen.

For reference, I have a 1967 M715 Gladiator which has a perfectly VERTICAL and FLAT windshield. The truck only has 30k miles or so, but that is more than I got out of my 2020 Gladiator and it is 54 years old.

Shame on Jeep for this BS windshield on the JT/JLs

Little stuff today but finally got around to it. I installed my https://www.handyflag.com, as well as finding a place for a tree saver, and fire extinguisher, thanks to Bartact, and installed tactical Maglites (tactical cause I got the replacement sharp end caps), on both the driver and passenger seats from ECCP, really good quality and they don't move.

Very nice. That's what I'm doing to mine, but I'll be waiting until I need new tires. I can't justify the $1,000 expense of upgrading tires that are perfectly fine. No worries, the factory tires on almost all my cars last about 2 years, from my experience.

No lift on mine either. We can be Philistines together. :clap:

I had a set of 265/70s that got me through a year when i found the wheels. I was planning on waiting but I found the wheels last year for $125 for the set. Guy just wanted them gone, i couldnt pay fast enough.

Where did you get the taillights?
They are the EU OEM tails. There are a couple threads in the lightning section with all the info/part numbers

How did you black out your Overland grille AND what LED Fender Lights did you go with? OEM or Aftermarket?

Heck yes, we'll start our own thread for the Philistine Club but I think I saw another thread out there for non-lifted Gladiators, I'll have to check.
