Havent posted in a bit, Added N-Fab nerf bars, UnderCover Ultra Flex Tonneua Cover, 7 Inch Radio Antenna.

Have a Iron Rock 2 Inch lift coming in this week, and a K&N 77 Series Polished Cold Air Intake. Lets see how that comes out.

Also, I was ducked. Has anyone else been ducked?

I got ducked last Tuesday after parking next to a Wrangler at Costo! My first one!

Nice Gladiator! I think the Bright White and Firecracker Red both look great with color matched top/fenders!

I stretched its tank. “Low” miles is a new one! Showed up when it counted down less than 10. And the fillup immediately after that came on was 19.3gal.
So a small reserve, and did track nicely when I started the tank and counting it. Good to know as it’s a pretty responsive display right down to the last bit there. While I don’t like running a tank dry on the regular, it’s nice to trust it enough to stretch it to a few more exits on a long drive. My last truck would just go to low at 50-60 miles and that was annoying to track that last bit.

I would bet a steak dinner that with 1 or 2 more minutes you'd have gotten over 20 in it. Every time mine stops at 18.5 or 19, I can get more in it.
My low fuel comes on at about 30 - sometimes a tad more, sometimes it gets down to 25 but never has it come on at less than 25. And if the low fuel light is on I can always get more in it after the pump clicks off. Last time I had mine down to 15 miles left I got 21 gallons in it.
Heck, same for my gas cans - they click off at about 4.5 gallons, they are 5 gallon cans but would hold 6 if I wanted. That means even my gas cans will hold 1.5 gallons more after the nozzle clicks off.

Put on diamondback bed cover. Sealed and waxed. Also put in headliner. This was over the last week.

Nice looking truck - originally I thought Sarge clashed with Mojave markings, but yours with black fenders/top looks great!

Agreed - Sarge is one of those colors that looks very good with the black roof and fenders.
Some wear it much better than others.
And - he's hired to detail and ceramic coat my JT.

Holy sheep sheet!

I had mine in for a couple of days now, haven't an opportunity to try them out at night yet, hope I don't start a fire.
I think mine faded the paint on my little Eagle last night - it's parked inside behind my truck and I swear the red isn't as vibrant as it was before.
I laughed when I saw his pic above - imagine, 2021 and backup lights are whiter and brighter than stock headlights on your 69 Camaro.

I need to connect these things to an aux switch for tailgaters, lol.

Installed the Linkswell 12.1!
I was considering going with a much less expensive version because I wanted a larger screen (I have the 5" sport s version) but now that I see this I think it is worth continuing to save and putting it off a few more months. This is really quite stunning.

I first saw it on this forum back in like April and was blown away. I had a Seicane unit in my JK which I liked alot and it only cost ~$400. It worked pretty well but it shipped from China and had no customer support. This unit is quite a bit more expensive but the company is American and I was able to call and actually talk to someone!! I'm going to sell my 7" if you don't want to spend this much but still want an upgrade.

I'm not ready financially to pull the trigger yet and my gut tells me if I am going to spend money I want to go even bigger than the 7". I appreciate the offer for sure.

I need to GET aux switch(s) so I can connect them to a switch - great for hooking up trailer or for strapping car down on trailer after dark. First, though, I need to go buy some sun glasses or maybe a new welding helmet.
