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

[Beewdawg]

Umm, looks like the original reached 99 pages and was closed for more replies. So keep posting here!

I had tint done to front 2 windows, bug deflector installed, wayout style wrap installed, tires cleaned. 303 applied to tonneau cover.

EDIT: forgot to mention possibly the most important mod, ceramic coated grille, grille guard, and double ceramic coated windshield. FU bugs! Try sticking to all my ceramic now..... Stupid bugs.

Unfortunately, I broke my windshield while mowing the lawn this morning :-(

Did a nice little bumper and winch upgrade Today.

Rough Country Bumper and Smitty Bilt XRC Gen 3 9500 Synthetic winch, Warn Power Interrupt.

I would like to also point out the use of Rough Countrys MLC-6 Multiple Light Controller which I installed last week. I really like the design and it makes hooking up everything a breeze.

The winch is a hair tight fit between the grill and the inside of the bumper.

Well I installed some Axial headlights and fog lights a couple of days ago (links below). Today I also tried fixing my click noise but the cotter pins got on my nerves so I gave up. I’ll be getting new ones tomorrow to replace the current ones after I shear them off ?.

Love that bumper! I have been looking at it -- what are your initial impressions?

75 degrees for the next three days, and no rain... Time to get Angus nekked and put on the new spiderwebshade topper.

One of my aussies -- and two of my sons were tremendous help in getting the shade installed.

Very well built. Fit and Finish. I am very happy at the moment. My only advice is look at the winch fitment. It fits, but there is zero gimme on room. When you connect the wires from the control unit to the back of the winch do so with the thought they have to tuck very close to the rear winch body. I ran the power wire and negative around the inside edge of the front grill and into the area below the intake then over to the battery area. I zip tied a long the way. I mounted the Warn Winch interrupt on a custom bracket to the inner fender next to the battery and wired everything up. the warn power interrupt is controlled on/off by a switch on the Rough Country MLC-6 Switch unit.

Thank you for the info -- What do you think about the lightbar and the fog lights?

Looks great. Have a set of Back ones in order. How was the install?

First, watch the video on Quadratec's website. That was helpful.

Second, don't underestimate the power of heat/sun making it easier to stretch

Third, when installing the headrest covers, be careful. I ripped one at the seams. My recommendation is to get it started and then slide it on rather than pull it down. If it's warmed up will it'll be much easier.

Fourth, when you remove the bolts on the front seats that bolt to the floor and then slide the seat back and forth, it may move the seat unevenly on each side. The result is that the bolt home won't match up when you try to put it back on. Just slide the seat all the way forward and then it will even back up.

Fifth, of you have the Rubicon seats with the molle panel, back seat of much easier then front. Lining up the bottom screws to put back on the molle panel was... Frustrating.

Sixth, unless you're a rock climber, your fingers will be sore from all the pulling and stretching.

Seventh, it would be easier if you remove all the doors when doing the front. You'll be going back and forth often.

It took me an hour and half on the back and couple hours on the front. Could do it in half the time if I warmed the seats more and didn't F around with number four and five above.

Really not bad overall, just patience and persistence. Worth it in the end.
