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

[ospreyfe55]

Had been trying forever to find a Rubicon grab bar because they have the bolts you can take out for the phone mounts, so got brave and tried with a rivnut. Worked great.

Also got the rear JCR fenders and fishbomne liners in. Turns out I'm missing some hardware for the front so going to be funky looking for a while.

Huge transformation

You gained how much lift from Mojave coils?

I did not measure it, but if I had to speculate, I'd say 1.3" in the rear, 2.25" in the front. I also added a Terraflex 1.5 in the front. Those guestimates are after I added the front bumper. There's about a half inch of rake at the moment. That photo was taken prior to installing the rear coils also. Overall, pretty satisfied with it and would recommend the mojave coil swap over the rubi for the sport guys. I'll measure it and post it sometime.

Yes that wasn't the issue. The issue is my grab bar is an Overland edition that doesn't have the screw to remove for the mount to attach to, it's just leather.

You can kinda see in one of the pics, it's leather wrapped not the plastic with 2 bolts that says WRANGLER.

Changed out the medallion.

I Got This One!

One of you two want to sell me your trail rated badge? Looking to do a antenna delete.

Changed my cabin filter after the so many wheeling/camping trips...

@Jacki wasnt comfortable drilling through the firewall with the battery in place. I attempted to remove the battery and tray, that ended in failure. You have to remove the PCM and fuse box and it's still a nightmare. So I ended up dropping the harness down the corner of the engine bay along the frame in the drain plug. Then go straight back under the seat, you cant go to the trim along the edge then under the seat the harness isnt long enough. I also used the aux switch 4 from under the dash. Unbolting the entire seat makes all of this easier. I kept the harness under the carpet and cut a small hole to feed it out once it got under the seat.

any tips for wiring main harness to battery? I'm going to be doing the same install on my rubicon diesel this week as well

You don’t need to drill through the firewall and all of that other stuff…there is a rubber boot penetration in the passenger footwell that you can poke through and route the wires to the battery. When I ran mine, I wrapped the battery wires to 8” length of coat hanger with electrical tape and then poked the end of the hanger through the boot. Then pulled the wires up along the battery. Removing the PCM, fuse box, etc. isn’t necessary.

looking forward to hearing how that works out for both shifting and mpg

switching to the Overland wheel tire setup on my Mojave, the MPG went up 3-4 mpg around town- 13-14 range to 16-17 range. On the highway, I can maintain 20-21 range. 75mph it drops to 17-ish Speedo is off by 1 mph comparing to Waze.

Got some used Mopar performance rock rails delivered to me at work, couldn't resist putting them on in the parking lot

Nice! Been trying to keep my eyes out for a used set of these, too. Perfect for my needs.

Yeah I have been looking for awhile, I set up a notification on FB market place and jumped on these right after he posted them. Supposedly he has another set but I don't know how much good that will do you since they are in Michigan.

Had no idea they were different...

Maybe he’d ship, but all depends on the price as shipping would be pricy.

He’s asking $300 for em, want me to ask him if he is interested in shipping the other set if he still has them?
